Allite CF2 結合同樣放置於車上冷氣孔的車用香氛與冷氣孔手機架，並加入 Qi2 磁吸無線充電的功能，以達到優化能源使用、最大限度地縮短充電時間以保護裝置的電池壽命並節省空間、解決傳統手機架需雙手費力安裝、有線充電難收納且上下車容易不慎拉扯的困境。另外為了尚未有磁吸功能之無線充電手機，也提供磁吸環配件，可貼在手機背面搭配使用。為使用者提升不管是生理或心理上的生活品質。

Allite CF2 combines a car fragrance and a phone holder in the car's AC vents, incorporating Qi2 magnetic wireless charging. It optimizes energy use, minimizes charge times, and safeguards battery life. Addressing traditional phone holder issues, it enables single-handed installation, resolves cable storage problems, and saves space. For phones without magnetic capability, a magnetic ring accessory is provided. Allite CF2 enhances users' life quality, both physically and psychologically.

現代生活中手機已經成為不可或缺的產品，香氛更是越來越多人展現個人生活品味的一種方式，但是市面上車用配件或車子內裝卻沒有將這兩種需求納入設計做整合，因此 Allite CF2 在相同使用情境基礎上，也就是汽車冷氣出風口，選擇結合手機車架與香氛的功能，再加入 Qi2 磁吸無線充電，來為車用設備帶來新的想法與更好的使用體驗，讓使用者不用再擔心充電速度與充電安全性。

Mobile phones are indispensable in modern life, and fragrance is a growing expression of personal taste. However, current car accessories often overlook integrating these needs. Allite CF2 addresses this by combining a cell phone holder and fragrance in the car's air vent, adding Qi2 magnetic wireless charging for innovation. Now, users enjoy these conveniences worry-free, with no concerns about charging speed and safety.

由於 Qi2 磁吸無線充電模組為圓形型態、出風口產品需要是最小體積以避免擋住冷氣、也要避免磁吸面積太大擋到手機鏡頭，因此 Allite CF2 以最精簡俐落的圓柱形造型呈現。另外香片也延續圓柱造型來達到最大的擴香效果，並透過在香片中心穿孔來達到穿過夾子腳做替換的需求。香氛蓋作為主體收尾，既不脫離整體造型，又透過側邊穿孔來增加香氛散發的出口。

Due to the circular design of the Qi2 magnetic wireless charging module and the necessity for air vent products to have the smallest possible volume to avoid blocking the air conditioning, while also avoiding too much magnetic area obstructing the phone lens, Allite CF2 presents itself in a sleek cylindrical shape. The fragrance sheet continues this design for maximum diffusion effect, featuring a perforation in the center for easy replacement. The fragrance cover serves as the conclusion, seamlessly integrated into the overall design, with side perforations enhancing fragrance dispersion.

Allite CF2 的主要兩個功能可明確區分，Qi2 磁吸無線充電需要面向手機、香氛需要面向冷氣孔，因此一前一後的安排順勢而生。磁吸無線充電可以一吸附就充電，免去插拔線的時間，並有 360 度萬象球頭，可調整手機螢幕到適合的任意角度。而香片的安裝與替換也十分直覺，將車架從冷氣出風口移除後，轉開蓋子拿起原先的香塊再放入新的香塊並蓋回蓋子即可。

Allite CF2's dual functions are distinct: Qi2 magnetic wireless charging caters to phones, while fragrance targets air vents, resulting in a streamlined front-and-rear layout. Magnetic charging initiates upon attachment, eliminating cable hassles, with a 360-degree ball head for flexible phone screen adjustment. Installing or replacing fragrance sheets is intuitive; remove CF2 from the air vent, open the cover, swap the fragrance block, and close the cover. This thoughtful design optimizes the user experience, seamlessly integrating convenience and functionality.

觀察市面上的產品，沒有任何產品像 Allite CF2 一樣同時結合了 Qi2 無線充電、磁吸車架、香氛，讓車架不再只是手機的載體，也是氣味的載體，在為手機充電的同時，也為使用者的身心充電。在過去的產品中，Allite 以視覺與觸覺為主力，這次我們挑戰加入經常被人忽略的感官在設計之中，在車內這種空間不大且密閉的環境，讓氣味影響對一個人的印象或是一個場域的氛圍，也讓我們的顧客看到我們設計的多元性。

Observing products in the market, none match Allite CF2's unique blend of Qi2 wireless charging, magnetic car mount, and fragrance. It transforms the car mount into more than just a phone holder; it's a carrier of scents. While charging the phone, it enhances the user's mood. In past designs, Allite prioritized visual and tactile experiences. This time, we challenge ourselves by adding the often overlooked sense of smell. In the confined car space, fragrance can profoundly shape impressions or the overall ambiance. This showcases the versatility of our design to customers.

作為台灣品牌，Allite CF2 在台灣製造，少了國際運輸的環境消耗，讓產品更符合環境利益。另外由於結合了兩樣以上的產品功能，消費者只需購買一樣商品即可滿足三種需求，降低了無謂的產品消費。由於香味會隨著空氣流動消逝，Allite CF2 的香氛以可拆卸替換的香塊來設計，不僅可以讓使用者隨心情更換味道，更能達到永續使用的目的。並且由於日常插拔的機械應力，充電電纜往往會磨損，最終成為垃圾掩埋場的廢物。無線充電器消除了機械應力並且不會磨損，從而減少了不必要的浪費。

As a Taiwanese brand, Allite CF2 is manufactured in Taiwan, minimizing environmental impact by eliminating international transportation. The product's integration of multiple functionalities allows consumers to meet three needs with a single purchase, reducing unnecessary consumption. To address the fleeting nature of fragrances, Allite CF2's scent design incorporates detachable and replaceable scent blocks, offering users the flexibility to change scents based on their mood while promoting sustainable usage. Moreover, the wireless charging feature eliminates mechanical stress and wear on cables, reducing unnecessary waste in landfills.
