One of the best ways to judge how good a product is, is simply how long it sticks around. There are tons of products that hit my desk that, for one reason or another, do not make it past one month of use.

But if a product earns a permanent spot on my desk or nightstand and I stop thinking about replacing it, that’s usually a really good sign. So when I noticed I had been using my Nomos charging station for about a year, I knew I had to give you my review. Here is what it is and how well it’s held up. more…
