Overview
- Twelve South launched the smaller 4.25–4.5-inch Valet on Tuesday and is selling that model for $129.99 while the larger updated Valet is listed at $179.99.
- The new compact Valet packs MagSafe-style Qi2.2 wireless charging rated up to 25W, a weighted zinc-alloy base wrapped in Nappa leather, interchangeable frames, and three colorways.
- The package includes a 45W power adapter with UK and EU plugs and a color-matched braided USB-C cable for out-of-the-box use.
- The Valet shares power between its coil and a second USB-C port so the port can deliver 25W when used alone but drops to 10W when the wireless pad is active, and actual wireless speeds vary by phone model with some iPhones capped below 25W.
- Reviewers say the design and faster top-off speeds make the Valet a strong pick for style-minded home use but note the premium $130 price, reduced landing area versus the larger model, lack of an upright StandBy orientation, and cheaper flat 25W Qi2 chargers as practical trade-offs.
