Has anyone seen a wireless charger that also has a USB outlet port?

The objective is to wirelessly charge a phone overnight, but at some bedtimes/lazy mornings I want to use my device when it's low on battery so require a cable.

Current solution: don't bother with wireless. Another solution - use a dual outlet charger (or two chargers), one cable to the pad and a spare.

The reason I can't find one is probably because manufacturers need to deal with power requirements if a user tries to use pad and outlet at the same time, or has to turn one outlet off if the other is in use.

Thanks - I'm looking for a pad with no other features other than the USB output, but this does have that outlet.

Nice, thanks! That's the sort of thing, especially the second one that has USB-C out as well. Neat.
