Following the original's debut at CES earlier this year, Twelve South is introducing a new version of its leather-wrapped Valet charging tray designed for use in places where space is at a premium. While the original Valet was 7.5-inches deep and large enough to serve as a catchall for a couple of items like your wallet and keys, the new Valet nearly halves that to 4.5-inches deep, so it's better suited for single items, like a pair of glasses.
