The 3-in-1 Charger That Finally Earned a Permanent Spot on His Nightstand

Author: Michael Faraday | Technical Director at ZEEHOO, with deep expertise and extensive experience in wireless charging technology.

 

If you've ever bought one of those cheap 3-in-1 charging stations that looked great online but turned out to be unreliable, you're definitely not alone. That's exactly the experience YouTuber Dad Tech (Mark) talks about in his review of the ZEEHOO CubeTrick X.

After trying plenty of bedside chargers that either stopped working after a while or made charging feel like a guessing game, he was hoping this one would be different. And after living with it for several days, his conclusion was pretty simple—it actually delivers.

First Impressions: It Doesn't Look Like Every Other Charger

Right out of the box, the CubeTrick stands out.

Inspired by the angular design of the Cybertruck, it has a futuristic look that's unlike the typical flat charging stand. It's compact, folds into a neat little cube, and honestly looks more like a desk gadget than a charger.

Mark also appreciated that ZEEHOO includes both the USB-C cable and the power adapter in the box.

That might seem like a small detail, but it's one of those things that makes setup easier. You don't have to wonder whether your existing charger is powerful enough or spend extra money buying the right adapter separately.

As he puts it, if the manufacturer designed it to work a certain way, it's nice that they include everything you actually need.

The Rotating Design Is Surprisingly Fun

The feature that immediately caught his attention wasn't even the charging—it was the rotating mechanism.

With one touch, the top charging pad smoothly rotates into position.

It's one of those little details that doesn't necessarily solve a huge problem, but it's satisfying every single time.

Mark admits he still hasn't found a "must-have" everyday reason to rotate it constantly, but he also says the novelty hasn't worn off. It's simply fun to use.

If you're using StandBy Mode on an iPhone, the rotating design also makes it easy to prop the phone up while it charges, turning the CubeTrick into a nice bedside display.

 

Finally, Everything Charges Overnight

For Mark, the biggest test wasn't how cool it looked.

It was whether he'd wake up with everything fully charged.

His Apple Watch had stopped charging consistently because his old charging stand had become unreliable. His AirPods were constantly ending up in random places instead of on a charger.

After several nights with the CubeTrick, those problems disappeared.

Every morning:

• His iPhone was charged.
• His Apple Watch was charged.
• His AirPods were charged.

No surprises. No repositioning devices. No wondering whether charging actually started.

Sometimes that's exactly what you want from a charger—it just quietly works.

A Thoughtful Detail You Don't Notice Until Bedtime

One thing Mark specifically pointed out was something many companies overlook: indicator lights.

Some wireless chargers light up an entire room with bright LEDs all night long.

The CubeTrick doesn't.

Instead, it uses a soft, subtle indicator that's visible enough to confirm everything is working without becoming distracting while you're trying to sleep.

It's a small design decision, but one that makes a big difference for something sitting next to your bed every night.

 

Compact Enough to Travel Anywhere

One of the biggest advantages of the CubeTrick is how easily it folds.

When folded, it becomes a compact cube that slips easily into a backpack, carry-on, or overnight bag.

That means it isn't just a bedside charger.

It also works well for:

• Business trips
• Hotels
• Weekend travel
• Office desks
• Small apartments

Instead of packing multiple charging cables and adapters, you can bring one charger that handles your phone, watch, and earbuds all at once.

Build Quality That Feels Better Than Expected

Although the CubeTrick is made from plastic, Mark says it doesn't feel cheap.

In fact, he points out that plastic actually makes sense for a travel charger because it's lighter and easier to carry around.

The folding hinges feel solid, the rotating mechanism works smoothly, and overall the charger feels thoughtfully designed instead of simply assembled.

One Feature He Didn't Expect to Appreciate: The Magnet Strength

One surprisingly positive detail was the magnetic attachment.

On previous MagSafe chargers, the magnets were actually too strong.

Every time he tried removing his phone, the entire charging station would slide or lift off the table with it.

The CubeTrick strikes a much better balance.

The magnets are strong enough to keep the phone securely in place while charging, but removing the phone feels natural without dragging the whole charger along.

It's a subtle improvement, but one that makes everyday use much nicer.

 

His Only Suggestion

No product is perfect, and Mark does have one small suggestion.

He wishes the AirPods charging area had stronger magnetic alignment.

His AirPods charged successfully every night during testing, so it's not a functional problem.

It's more about confidence.

With magnets, you instantly know the case is sitting in the correct position. Without that magnetic "snap," he occasionally double-checks placement before walking away.

Interestingly, he also discovered that the top magnetic charging pad can charge the AirPods too, giving users another option if needed.

Final Verdict: A Charger He's Actually Keeping

After spending several nights using the CubeTrick, Mark says something that's probably the strongest compliment you can give a charging accessory:

It's replacing his old charger.

He's planning to travel with it.

And now he wants to buy one for his wife.

For someone who's been disappointed by multiple bedside chargers in the past, that's a pretty strong endorsement.

He also makes it clear that while ZEEHOO sent him the product to review, the opinions are entirely his own.

At the end of the day, his takeaway is simple:

The CubeTrick looks cool, works consistently, packs easily for travel, and finally solves the everyday frustration of charging multiple Apple devices overnight.

Sometimes that's exactly what a great charger is supposed to do.
