Belkin - Boost Up Wireless Charging Dock for iPhone® and Apple Watch - Black

I constantly use my phone and was getting tired of having to plug in and unplug it (I know kind of lazy) but I was tired of buying Apple chargers so I wanted something I could charge wirelessly and also my Apple Watch and this was perfect. I have one of the belkin wireless chargers for my living room but this one stands my phone upright so I loved it. Was a little iffy on buying because some reviews mentioned a buzzing sound but it’s not loud enough that it keeps me a awake at night only hear it if my ear is right up against the charger.

Ever since I upgraded from my iPhone 7 Plus to my XS, I've been wanting a dock that could wirelessly charge my iPhone (since I have a waterproof case), charge my Apple Watch and iPad Pro as well. There were several options I was able to find online, but the reviews were mixed and the companies were one's I'd never heard of before. That's when I finally found this all-in-one dock solution from Belkin. I trust Belkin products, I've never had one steer me wrong. Most of my third party accessories, from cables to docks to adapters are Belkin products. The design of the dock is pretty straightforward - there's a vertical stand for your iPhone, and a built-in puck for your Apple Watch. On the rear of the dock, there's a standard USB-A out for a lightning cable or other charging cable to charge another device. One aspect of the design that I really found thoughtful was how Belkin handled the power cable. It is designed to fit flush with the base of the dock and even includes a little rubber foot that is the same as the rubber feet on the bottom of the dock. This helps provide the dock with a sense of balance and surety, while making the cord melt away seamlessly with the base. Given that this is designed to charge up to 3 devices at once, the power brick is huge. At first I was surprised to see how large it was, but then I also realized I was able to free up 3 outlets on my power strip because I didn't need the 2 5-w pucks for my watch and phone or the 12-w one for my iPad. The power brick and cord are proprietary - so if you lose it, you're out of luck. I love this dock because it enables me to charge all my devices in a clean, minimalist design that it's blocky or require routing separate cables. The fact that it's also made by a reputable providers of accessories like Belkin can help you sleep better at night.

If your an apple fan this is a great wireless charging dock for your iphone and watch in one with an usb slot for your ipad too. Has a nice stylish design looks nice on my night stand. A few things to note. If you use a case on your phone it will need to be one that it compatible with wireless charging. Basically if your case is too thick it may not work on this wireless charging dock and if your watch has a cover on it you may have to remove it to use with this charger. As the watch doesn't lay on the charger it self and is hold up by its magnets to work properly. I my self don't have a cover on my watch and my phone case is made for wireless charging so all is good here. Very happy.

I like multi-purpose devices, in this case, the Belkin Boost Up Wireless charger that can charge 3 devices at once. On every photo it appears you can charge only 2 devices (iPhone X-series and the Apple Watch). But surprise! There is a USB-port where you can plug in another charger for another Apple device or Android one. After a few days using it here are my thoughts: Pros: -Design. Very sleek and minimalist design. I guess that's where the trend is going for. The Matte White looks great and the charging docks are very sturdy. Underneath is the power cord slot that runs securely in position there. I was worried at first for my iPhone XR on how stable it would be on the dock. There is a half-semi-circle that cups the phone in there. I have used other docks where you run your charging cable underneath into a slot that is cut out in a rectangle for your specific phone model. Here, my phone sits perfectly in place as the magnet alone can keep it secured. The Apple Watch rests nicely there as well. Clean Look: As stated above, since the two charging docks are already built into the device, you don't need to have 2 cords connected and making a mess. -Third Charging station. As mentioned earlier, you can connect via usb at the back another charging cable. I connected my lightening cable to charge my iPad. -Speed of charging. It charged my iPhone XR pretty fast. I was at 75% when I connected it to the dock and it was at 100% in about 7-8 minutes. That's pretty fast compared to the lightening cable. Cons: -Temperature. As it does need to charge quickly, the back of my phone was hot. I'm always a little paranoid when third-party chargers get hot, and usually try to stay away from them. Neutral: -Apple Watch dock: You can only place the watch in one position and that is with the dial facing in the UP position. The dial will not fit in the down position because of the dial. I know that sounds petty, but I like the idea of options. Overall I am really happy with this combo charger by Belkin. I will drain my phone and see how fast it charges, but am worried about how hot it will get. The design is great and I like how I don't have too many wires and cords all around it.

If you use this dock next to your bed like I do, the design let’s you use your phone without having to remove it from the dock while charging! This has been one of the things I’ve hated about the majority of wireless charging docks, you can’t really use it while charging like you can when using a cable. The charge dock itself feels very premium, just like my other Belkin products. The charging indicator light is on the side so your phone hides it at night. Standing in portrait mode while charging, the phone feels very secure on the dock. It charges the phone @ 7.5w which I believe is the max allowed by Apple and the watch charges @ 5w. It charged my watch from dead to fully charged in a little over an hour. Your devices will get warm when charging, but that’s the way it is with all wireless chargers I’ve used. You know when purchasing a Belkin product you’re getting quality that matches the product it’s charging, and this dock is no different.
