The best use case I can think of is if you are traveling and only have a USB-c charger with you, this will let you charge your iPhone along with your laptop, iPad Pro, and others.
I would not buy at this price.
1) You can't overnight charge it like you would a normal wireless charger if you have battery protection on since it requires "activation." My phone will stop at 80%, turn the charger off, and since the phone doesn't have hands, it can't retrigger when it's getting ready for me to wake up to charge the extra 20%
2) 5,000 mAh isn't a ton. I enjoy it because the iPhone Mini's battery is so tiny, but due to the inefficiency of Qi vs a wired connection, don't expect a 1:1 charge ratio.
3) It's a really great idea and despite the drawbacks, I don't usually leave home without mine.

Look, if you don't like the product, don't get it. But my original point still stands. Wireless chargers bring benefits. Whether you like them or not is irrelevant.

But yes, most of the time I much prefer plugging in to a fast charger for a few minutes at 3-4x the charge rate.
IMO this would probably make sense for most people around a $15 price point.
Comparing to the Apple version: it's not as slick interface, it's thicker and less comfortable, slightly hotter in my opinion, but also MUCH less expensive.
I don't have the new Anker version to compare to.
My most common use case is being low on battery but wanting to still use my phone where it is not convenient to be tied to a big battery pack. Which on my life happens a decent amount.
