Wireless Charging Question

My new car has a wireless charging pad.  My current Samsung does not support wireless charging.  I would expect someone makes a case that converts wireless charging to a USB-C connector so you can just out your phone in the case, plug a cable into the phone (perhaps two USB-C connectors so you can plug it into a standard charger without disconnecting the wireless charging case.  I am not sure what combination of words will make Amazon show such a device.   One exists I hope.

They exist but the ones i can find on Amazon seem to only provide for one USB-C connection.   Having to pull it out for standard charging seems dumb.  It also appears they are not in a case with the phone which makes the phone clumsy.

It turns out that wireless chargeable devices should not be near pacemakers. The magnet used for induction can shut it off

  1. I bought a super-duper Samsung phone 2 phones ago, that had early wireless charging. Even with micro-USB I never found it hard to plug in a USB cable. With USB C it is completely not a problem to plug in a USB cable, even in the dark. Which is good because I figured out I have no need for a high-end/high-cost phone, and I an surrounded by USB C cables. A charger at my desk, by the TV, in kitchen, in the bedside table, in the vehicle...
