Gen5 (PPP) and Galaxy S26 Ultra (maybe others) charging

All:

Just a hint in case its useful to someone. I never got my Galaxy S21 to work reliably with the charger, almost certainly due to alignment issues. The Gen5 (PPP - Pretty Prius Prime) charging slot seemed a good idea, but clearly hasn't been that great for many of us.

Upon upgrading to an S26 I did some more fiddling and realized that while the charger still didn't work with with the S26 the "normal" way, it does indeed work if you rotate it so the buttons are on the bottom. Great for charging, but easy for buttons to get pressed inadvertently.

The simple solution is a couple of felt pads where there aren't buttons and all is good! This works for my S26, may have worked for the S21, and may work for other phones too.
