Qi Charging Coil Case

I had an old Qi charging pad sitting around just collecting dust. I bought it quite a while ago but after switching phones I ended up with on that didn't support wireless charging.A couple weeks ago I bought a pair of wireless earbuds that can charge using the Qi standard.I quickly grabbed my old charging pad and realized that it used the Micro USB connector for power. Since I switched most (if not all) of my mobile devices to USB C a while ago I was looking for a DIY way of also converting the charging pad.Searching the internet I found cheap breakout boards for USB C plugs. So I took apart the old charging pad and took out the electronics on the inside. Resoldered the power inputs to the corresponding pins on the USB C board and designed a simple case to put the newly assembled electronics into.I know that this design is very specific to my use case but maybe you get some inspiriation on how to handle these kinds of "problems" yourself.
