Is it so hard to come out with something that looks ok, charges 2-3 items and costs $30-60. Who wants to spend $120+ to charge stuff?!?

Seriously?
Yes, seriously. Apple's dual charger reminds me of one of those teething toys you give to babies.

Stone seems like a poor choice if you don’t have a case on your phone.
It's not actually stone. It's acrylic with a stone appearance.
