  Excellent MagSafe Charging Stand

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  I’ve used a few different MagSafe charging stands, but most have been too bulky, had awful build quality, or had very slow charging speeds. The Journey Trio Ultra charging station has no such problems and is one of the best 3-in-1 charging stands I’ve seen for Apple users. It even has a few features that I haven’t seen in other MagSafe stands. === PROS === - The design and build quality of the Trio Ultra is excellent. The base is nicely weighted, making it very easy to remove your iPhone from the stand with just one hand. The design of the stand is vertical, which saves space on your desk or nightstand. - The MagSafe stand swivels up and down up to 55 degrees, which is a feature I haven’t seen on other stands. This is very useful for getting the perfect viewing angle while sitting at your desk or for viewing your iPhones’s StandBy Mode screen while in bed. - The MagSafe magnet is very strong - it quickly and easily grab onto your iPhone and it feels very secure once attached. - Unlike other 3-in-1 stands that I’ve used, the Trio Ultra supports Fast Charging of all three devices (iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods). The stand is MagSafe certified, meaning that it can charge your phone at a full 15W. Other, non-certified MagSafe stands can usually only charge at 7.5W. - A 30W USB-C charging brick is included in the box. Some other premium brands don’t include chargers with their MagSafe stands (you have to purchase one separately), so I was pleasantly surprised to see one included with the Trio Ultra. - There is an LED on the back of the stand that illuminates when you attach a device, but luckily it turns off after just a few seconds. So if you use this on a nightstand, you don’t have to worry about a bright LED keeping you awake. - Journey has included a magnetic ring that you can attach to your phone case if it doesn’t support MagSafe. This is another nice addition that I haven’t seen from other brands. === CONS === - Like most other Apple Watch charging stands that I’ve used, the magnet of the watch charger seems rather weak. It works perfectly fine, but you can very easily move and rotate the watch while it’s on the charging stand (it doesn’t like to sit perfectly still). Luckily, the watch sits perfectly flat on this stand (not at an angle), so there’s really no risk of it falling off. - As far as I can tell, the Trio Ultra is currently only available in this white/silver color. It looks great, but I would have preferred a black color for my nightstand. Maybe Journey will release additional colors at some point. === OVERALL === If you’re all-in on the Apple ecosystem like I am and need a simple solution to charge all of your devices, then look no further. The Journey Trio Ultra is one of the best values in 3-in-1 MagSafe charging stands with its fast charging features and the included 30W charging brick. The minimalist design does not sacrifice build quality - this is a very well-made stand that will look great no matter where you use it. Highly recommended!

  Just what I needed and more

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  Having multiple electronics that need to be charged daily/nightly can mean that your nightstand can become cluttered, or filled with wires. Enter the Journey Trio ultra fast charging station. This isn’t my first experience with a “3-1” but I can say this is by far the best. Out of the box it’s simple and easy. It comes equipped with its own lighting charging cord which is my first time not having to use my own, and powers all three items at one time. This means you can have your phone, AirPods, and Apple Watch fast charging in a nice, sleek, clean setup. The convenience of the layout really sticks out. I use my iPhone as a digital clock at night, and with the MagSafe charger, and tilt feature the Journey boasts I can do this with ease. You can turn your phone vertical, or horizontally and tilt the phone to your desired position. Within 30 minutes of putting my phone and watch to charge I had roughly 30% charge on my phone, and a little over for my watch which is pretty good for both. Once you place your AirPods on the front pad a white light will light up on the journey indicating that it is charging, and your AirPod light will reflect that as well. There is also a rubber on the bottom that really keeps the stand in place on a hard surface, so you don’t have to worry about it shifting or moving wherever you decide to place the Journey Trip. Overall I have nothing negative to say. The design, the convenience, the charging speed, and minimal effort needed makes this 3-1 charging pad a go-to permanently if you have multiple apple devices.

  A Must Have Apple Charging Station

  • Tech Insider Network Member
  • Top 1000 Contributor

  The Journey Trio Ultra 3-in-1 Fast Wireless Charging Station is a must have for anyone using multiple Apple mobile devices. As a user of an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods, the Journey Trio provides fast charging for all devices simultaneously and supports MagSafe and MFi standards. In the Box: The Journey Trio Ultra ships with everything needed to plug and play including the charging stand, a USB-C cable, a 30W USB-C charging block, a magnetic ring for adding support to phones that may have issues connecting to the MagSafe charger, and Journey stickers and user manual and paperwork. The use of a USB-C charging cable vs. a proprietary cable is a plus in my opinion. Set Up & Using: The system is pretty much ready to go right out of the box, simply unbox the USB-C cord and plug in the provided charging block and the unit and it’s ready for use. The charger is designed with spacing in mind, it’s literally half the width of the other charger I have and saves space on my nightstand. The build quality is top-notch, and the design is modern and fits in nicely with our décor. The phone connection is on the front, and it is adjustable up and down to change the angle of the phone to support the best viewing angle. The magnetic connection is strong but not overly aggressive when trying to remove your phone from the charger. The watch charger is on the top behind the phone pad and is easy to access and the watch connects securely. For AirPods or other supported earbuds, the charging pad is on the front side of the base. There’s an indicator light that comes on when AirPods are put on the pad. It is programmed to shut off after 12 seconds so as not to be intrusive when trying to sleep. The charger is fast, as its name applies, power is distributed at 15 watts for the phone, 3.5 watts for AirPods and 5 watts for Apple Watch. It also supports Optimized Battery Charging which is a plus. Journey also includes a magnetic ring for use on cases that may not fully support MagSafe connection and charging. This is a nice addition that I’m sure many people will take advantage of. Overall Impression: The Journey Trio Ultra 3-in-1 Fast Wireless Charging Station is well built, looks great and lives up to its name as a fast-charging solution. The included USB-C charging block and cable is also a welcome design feature so no need to deal with proprietary cables/chargers. The vertical design saves space on a desk or nightstand and fits great into a work or home environment. Pros: - Well-built and modern design - Fast charging for all supported Apple products simultaneously - Adjustable viewing angle for phone - No bright charging lights to keep you up at night - Included magnetic mounting ring Cons: - I haven’t identified any after a week’s worth of usage, nicely done Journey!
