This case does nothing to hide the wire... Even the
$12 cases on amazon do that... And the reviews on Amazon aren't that great.

It's a stand, not a case.

The cable isn't visible from the top - it comes out the bottom of the top rubber mount.

Keep in mind, these are tiny - you're not going to see a lot of cable anyways.

I'll kick off a new thread for this topic (when it's done), so I can share my thoughts, but anyone have any input on the colour? It's a "hammered black" - it's still curing - 3pm is 24 hours. It just doesn't look black enough for me. (but, then, in different lighting, the space black looks a little gun metal black).

Thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback Caligurl! :) It only looks that colour in low-light conditions. Took it outside to show how it looks in bright light (not dark enough!) :(

Edit...had to take a new pic:

Look forward to seeing it with the Watch on.

You're going to be waiting awhile - my SB SS w LB has an ETA of July. :(

I'll post picks with the charging puck though.

I'm also putting a coating of black rubber on the Apple charging cable (more stealthy). May put a couple dabs of gorilla glue on the edge facing the back to make the cable more hidden as well.

I ordered this one (Poetic) for my extra Apple Watch charging cable. I love the Spigen, got that one first. I just wanted something different for the extra cable AND it's a stand for my iPhone too. It was only $9.99 on Amazon, when I ordered it but I see that the price has gone up since then.


This one is possibly my favorite one, but it won't be in stock until a month from now. That's a very long wait.

Hope your wait isn't too long

When you said that it was your favorite were you referring to the Spigen or Poetic? My Poetic order is scheduled for June 15th. In any case I don't think you could go wrong with either (Spigen or Poetic). As they, both appear to be very nice stands :D

The Poetic, and it says, both on the Poetic website, and Amazon, in stock June 30th. So maybe you got yours before they ran out of the initial stock?

Waiting for Poetic stand

Nope, I did not get my Poetic stand yet. That is scheduled for delivery June 15th.
I got the Spigen back when I received my :apple: Watch.

Both were ordered through Amazon.

Right, I meant that maybe you ordered your Poetic before they ran out of initial stock. When you ordered the Poetic, was it advertised as "in stock 6/30"?.
