3rd iteration on a custom RAM Mount Wireless Phone Charger

Is there something that is a phone holder that can wirelessly charge at the same time?

I wanted to show on my take on one and created my version below.



I used a RAM Mount, took off the RAM Mount circle sticky backing, and super glued **EDIT: JB Weld NOT super glue** a separate wireless charger I bought on Amazon.

Plugging in the USB cable to the wireless charger, I was worried about water ingress into the USB port. I placed a small o ring around the metal male part that is on the USB cable, plugged it into the wireless charger, and used liquid electrical tape to seal it off from the outside.

Looking for any ideas to improve what I have.

I've been using this for a couple months and it hasn't shorted and can be used in rainy weather.

One of the problems I run into is when it's super hot out, the phone will step down it's rate of charge. Are there any products out there that could help draw heat away from the phone while it's on the charger? Like some kind of heat sink?
