Design and Durability
The surface is finished with a shibo process like a camera body. It is scratch-resistant and has a luxurious look and feel. The flat design ensures stable insertion into wall outlets.
Ms.GadgetsDoes the shibo processing matter?

USB-A not supported
USB-C dedicated design. If you frequently use USB-A cables with older smartphones or peripherals, you will need an adapter.
Ms.GadgetsIs the lack of USB-A inconvenient?
