A practical guide to outguessing everything, from multiple-choice tests to the office football pool to the stock market. People are predictable even when they try not to be. William Poundstone demonstrates how to turn this fact to personal advantage in scores of everyday situations, from playing the lottery to buying a home. Rock Breaks Scissors is mind-reading for real life. Will the next tennis serve go right or left? Will the market go up or down? Most people are poor at that kind of predicting.

Charger works great, tray is solid
Color: Best Dad-brown, Color: Best Dad-brown
I've only used wireless chargers in passing before, and always had issues with them consistently 'activating.' I've had no issues with this one at all, the tray makes it very easy to line it up. Slide the phone all the way into the groove and it's charged flawlessly for me. My phone does have a case, though it's not a very thick one like an otterbox, which I imagine would make the charging more inconsistent. The tray as a whole is very solidly built and well made, it is listed as 'vegan leather' so I'm assuming it's not actual leather, but you honestly can't tell the difference. My biggest complaint is how cheesy the saying on the tray is (even though I am a dad), but that is well worth putting up with for how nice the tray is.

Not bad, but charger didn't work with my phone
Color: Best Dad-brown
I have several organizing trays on my desk (basic, nothing as nice as this box), and so I thought to reduce the clutter on my desk further by incorporating my QI charger with an organizer tray. Unfortunately the QI charger in the organizer wouldn't link up to the QI charging coils of my phone. Whereas the organizer's charger did work with my wife's S24 Ultra, and my phone has been working on a separate QI charger.
The whole point in spending this much money on this organizer is for the QI charger. Without the charger working it's just too expensive as an organizer. Yes, it has a leather look to it, but even with that finish I'd say $25 max would be all I'd be willing to pay for such an organizer.
So this a cautionary point. If you give this as a gift it may not work with the recipients phone.

Great organizer for nightstand
Color: Black
This made a great gift for my unorganized husband, able to keep all the things he has strewn about in one place. Feels like high quality for a decent price.

Great purchase
Color: Brown
Purchased to organize my son’s beside table. So well made, sturdy, and the brown matches his night stand perfectly. Compartments to fit anything he needs to stash in there and keeps his things from sliding around in the drawer. Well worth the price
