I can see people using this in the office on there work desk but other than the cool factor I have zero use for this type of charging.
When my phone is dead I plug it in and lay on the couch and use it while charging
The thing with wireless charging is you won't find yourself in this situation very often. I loved the touchstone charging on the Pre, & ordered the first Qi chargers I could get my hands on when I got my N4. I have three, one at work & two at home (nightstand/desk). My phone spends so much time on a charger that I'm basically never anywhere near out of battery.
And the ability to pick it up off my nightstand in the dark, do whatever I need to do, and put it back without fumbling for cords is great. Same with my desks - Drop it on and pick it up again when you walk away. No hassle.
Once you've had a phone with it you will resent USB every single time you plug it in.
