I absolutely hate it. I use It though, but I also usually carry 2 phones on me. I ALWAYS leave on in the Charger when I go places and do the pocket tap dance, say Fck and have to turn around to go get my phone out of it.

I hate the location soooooo much

Poll does not have my usage. I use it but not often since my phone stays pretty well charged. If I am on an extended trip, in it goes.

Wife's DD, she carries her phone in her purse. Charged wirelessly at home, it just doesn't need charging in the car. Car Play works fine from the Coach bag. Long road trip might be different, but don't have one planned anytime soon.

I use my phone as a wireless hotspot. It would go dead if I didn't keep it in the charger.

I'm not against. Prob should use it more. Guess a habit from not having a wireless dock in the house.

So none of your choices fit. I use if my phone battery is getting low, or when I'm using Android Auto. Otherwise my phone stays in my pocket most of the time.

Works fine for me, except in the summer with the top down. The combination of charging and the sun hitting the phone makes it overheat and then it shuts off charging.

I programmed my phone to beep loudly when it disconnects from bluetooth, and that reminds me to take it out of the charger.

I pop my phone in as I'm getting in the car pretty much every single time I get in. The only time I may not is if I'm leaving a store and heading to another location that's only a few minutes away, then I just leave it in my pocket.
