I got my jumpgate 4 years ago when I backed it on Kickstarter, and it's still going strong. I use my Switch dock in one room and have this one set up where I've got less space now, but I was using it as a charging stand for my phone for a while, as well as for my tablet, and have used the core alone as a usb/SD card hub. It's super easy to pop the core out, and I've brought it with me when I've gone over to friends' houses and while travelling as it's so small and has more functionality than the Nintendo dock. Love love love this product. My only issue is that the spring-loaded top part of the dock sometimes gets pushed down at a bad angle and gets stuck, but they sent me a video and it couldn't be easier to fix. Though pushing it down evenly somewhat the front seems to be the sweet spot.
