Gitryin Tower Charging Station Review
A vertical tower charging station with three retractable 33.5-inch USB-C cables and 120W total. Here's what the specs support and who it suits.
The Gitryin Tower Charging Station suits anyone whose nightstand has three devices and three separate wall bricks fighting over one outlet. Three retractable 33.5-inch USB-C cables, 40W each, 120W total, stacked vertically instead of sprawled flat. Worth buying for cable clutter. Skip it if any device you own still needs USB-A or Lightning.

How this review was made: written from my own video review of this product. Every opinion here is my own, from using it myself.
Quick Verdict
Three cables, 33.5 inches each, all of them USB-C and none of them anything else. That’s the whole story: the Gitryin ModDock 3 fixes a nightstand full of cords by assuming every device you own charges over C. If yours do, it’s a clean fix.
Buy if you:
- Charge a phone, earbuds, and a watch on the same nightstand every night
- Have a dorm desk where vertical space is free and horizontal space isn’t
- Own a cat or dog that treats loose cords as chew toys
- Want one wall outlet doing the job of three bricks
Skip if you:
- Still charge anything over Lightning or USB-A, because there are no USB-A ports and no Lightning tips
- Need more than 33.5 inches of reach from outlet to bed
- Want a flat pad you can toss a phone onto without plugging in

Three Bricks, One Outlet, Zero Loose Cords
Most nightstand clutter isn’t devices. It’s the three wall bricks and the three cables that come with them, all fighting over one duplex outlet behind a bed frame nobody wants to move. The Gitryin Tower Charging Station attacks that by going vertical and swallowing the cables inside itself. Each of the three modules has a 33.5-inch USB-C cable that pulls out and retracts back in. No spare cords living in the drawer.
Where a Tower Charging Station Sits in a Crowded Category
Multi-device charging splits into three shapes, and this is the least common one. There’s the flat MagSafe-style tray, which is elegant but only feeds phones, watches, and buds that support wireless. There’s the fat desktop brick with six ports and no cables included, which solves power but not clutter. Then there’s the tower charging station, which is basically the brick stood on end with the cables built in.
The tower’s advantage is footprint. A nightstand is maybe 14 inches deep with a lamp already on it. Going up costs you nothing. The tradeoff is that built-in cables can’t be swapped, so the connector you buy is the connector you keep. Gitryin softens that with a modular design, which means the three charging modules are meant to be replaceable rather than the whole unit becoming e-waste when one fails. That’s a real answer to the usual objection, and worth the 2-year support line sitting next to it.
The 120W Number Is Doing Some Work
120W is the sum of all three modules, not what any one device gets. Per cable it’s 40W, GaN. That’s the misconception buyers walk in with on nearly every multi-port charger, and it matters here because 40W is a specific tier. It’ll fast-charge basically any phone made in the last five years. It’ll charge an iPad at full clip. It will charge a 13-inch laptop, slowly, and it will not keep up with a 16-inch MacBook Pro under load.
Read the listing’s own wording carefully: 120W total is quoted when “all 3 retractable chargers are used together.” So the three modules appear to be independent 40W units rather than a shared pool that reallocates power. Plug in one device and you get 40W, not 120W. For a nightstand, that’s fine. For anyone hoping to run a laptop off this, it isn’t.
Everything Here Is USB-C. Everything.
No USB-A port is listed anywhere. That’s the single biggest thing to check before buying. Older earbuds cases, most e-readers, older Kindles, a lot of cheap desk lamps and fans, and any pre-2023 iPhone all want something other than a bare USB-C tip. You’d be adding an adapter to a product whose entire pitch is not needing extra parts, which defeats it.
And 33.5 inches sounds generous until you measure it. From an outlet behind a headboard, up over the nightstand edge, to a phone you want to hold in bed, that’s tight. Fine sitting on the surface. Not a charge-while-scrolling cable.
Who It Actually Fits
This is a dorm room and small-bedroom product more than a desk product. It ranks around #35,035 in Cell Phones & Accessories on Amazon, which puts it in the modest-seller bracket rather than the viral one. Pricing has been sitting at roughly its usual level for the past three months, so there’s no obvious reason to wait on a dip. Current pricing is on the product page.
If your nightly routine is phone plus watch plus buds, all USB-C, this collapses three chargers into one object and hides the cords inside it. That’s a narrow job done specifically. If even one of those three devices uses a different connector, the whole premise falls apart and a six-port brick with your own cables serves you better.
Pros
- Three built-in retractable USB-C cables, 33.5 in each, no separate cords to lose
- 40W per port is enough for full-speed phone and tablet charging
- Vertical footprint suits nightstands and dorm desks better than flat docks
- Modular charging heads mean a failed module doesn’t kill the whole unit
- Retracted cables are less tempting to a chewing pet
Cons
- USB-C only, with no USB-A port and no Lightning support listed
- 120W is the combined total, not per-device, so no one port hits it
- 33.5 inches is short if the outlet is behind the bed
- No wireless pad, so nothing charges without being plugged in
What we’d improve
Two changes that wouldn’t be hard for a ModDock 4:
- Offer a USB-A module. The modular design is already there. One swappable A-tip head would rescue every buyer with an older accessory.
- Longer cable option. 33.5 inches works on a desk. A 48-inch module would make it usable from a bed with the outlet behind the headboard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it need an app or account to work?
No. It’s a passive GaN charger with no smart features, no app, no pairing, and no subscription. Plug it in and pull a cable.
What’s the warranty if a cable stops retracting?
Gitryin lists 2-year support. Because the charging heads are modular rather than sealed into the base, a failed retractor should be a module replacement instead of a whole-unit return. Confirm the replacement module is purchasable separately before you rely on that.
Can it charge a laptop?
A small one, slowly. 40W per port will trickle a 13-inch ultrabook and won’t keep a 16-inch workstation from draining under load. Treat it as a phone, tablet, and accessory charger.
