mophie - Qi2 Charging stand - White

[Employee of bestbuy] The product itself is great, looks great on my desk and has a strong magnet. I wish it advertised a bit better on the box that it does not come with the charger.

Magnetic, wireless charging may be one of the best phone related advancements in the past ten years. I'm a big fan. Everybody should have a charging stand of some kind, especially if you've got a phone with an always on display. It makes for a great bedside alarm clock, especially if you set up the Standby mode of an iPhone with widgets. Fortunately, these charging stands are pretty easy to find in many varieties and at many price points now, so they're an easy accessory to pick up and scatter around your house. So how's this one? It's good. The overall construction is solid and sturdy. There's no fear of this thing being tipped over accidentally when just casually picking up or putting down your phone. It looks quite nice overall, in my opinion. Sleek and modern with a fairly small footprint. There are channels on the underside for cable management if you need/want it. The rubber where the phone attaches to the stand is soft and should not damage the phone at all. Charging speeds are good, though it's important to point out that so much of this is determined by what charging brick you use - and this (like most) does not come with a brick or USB-C cable at all. Definitely recommend getting a good brick with a higher voltage, as it can make a big difference. Going from 45% to 100% in thirty-five minutes is pretty nice and way better than what it used to be when wireless first showed up. There may be faster options out there, but I think if speed is what you want then I would assume you're probably better off just plugging into your USB-C port on the phone directly. This is a charger meant to be part of your furniture, which means your phone becomes part of the furniture. It's probably not the place to dump your phone for a quick top off and then pick it up again. There are some things though that kind of make me ever so slightly underwhelmed. For starters, the very white rubber pad arrived with a black smudge on it that does not easily come off. I could be wrong, but I suspect maybe this actually happened as a result of rubbing against the black cardboard packaging. Lastly, I wish there was a little more range in the extent the head tilts on the stem. Not a huge deal; you'll likely find an angle that works perfectly well. It just would be nice to have slightly more flexibility. All in all, this is a solid option for a very recommended bit of nightstand convenience.

I purchased this one as a gift since I like mine so much. No more digging behind the nightstand for a stray cord.

It’s a nice stand. Good, sturdy base. The white color pops. The magnet is strong and has no problem holding my late model smart phone. Charging is quick, and I don’t get any messages saying that my phone is slow charging. The angle of the magnet can be changed, so if you wanted to, you can mount your phone in landscape mode and change the angle to where it is comfortable to watch videos. For me, this mount sits on my nightstand and is used exclusively for charging overnight. it does that without a problem. I do have a couple of minor complaints. The packaging material was not very good, and when my mophie charging stand arrived, it had dark scuffs on it that are not coming out. I tried a magic eraser on them, it didn’t matter. You can see them in the pictures. And, in addition to that issues, the mophie didn’t come with a charging cable or wall wart. So, if you are looking to just pull this out of the box and use it without having or purchasing another cable/power supply, that isn’t going to happen. Other than that, the stand works well and I haven’t had any issues with it.

--- SETUP --- The morphine charging stand is a magnetic stand that is easy to set up. It is just one single piece and requires you to already have your own USB-C cable to plug into. I used an extra long USB-C cable which helped with wrapping it under the unit’s cable organizer. --- PERFORMANCE AND EXPECTATIONS --- The mophie Qi charging stand works as expected and does a good job at it. I am using this charger with an iPhone. The iPhone has a magnetic circle area on the back which allows you to charge it with this magnetic stand. I was able to charge my iPhone without removing the case, which is always a plus for these types of chargers. The magnet is strong and it hasn’t fallen off during use, even if I hit it accidentally with my pillow, arms, or other bedroom objects. As far as charging goes, it does a good job at charging the phone overnight, always to full capacity, and I’ve never once had an issue with it. As an added bonus, if you charge your phone sideways, you might discover that your iPhone will turn into a red clock and show you pictures in a non-invasive sleep-mode manner that I really like. I have used several magnetic chargers which also charge your airpods. This one can charge your airpods magnetically in lieu of the iPhone, but you cannot charge both at the same time. Mild inconvenience, but a lack of a feature worth mentioning. Below the base, there is a small cable management system so that the cable can come out the back and have a neater look. I personally don’t use the management system because I like to use this charger as a stand around the house or at my office. I will unplug and carry it with me to the kitchen so that I can watch/listen to shows and music while watching dishes. Because the mount head swivels, it is easy to adjust multiple viewing angles that serve my various needs as I move about the house. Sometimes, my girlfriend will be watching something on the big screen and I will be next to her watching my show on my phone while the phone is mounted on this stand. It’s really a useful little gadget for that. A caveat to note is that this stand does not come with its own USB-C charger block, nor the cable. This means that if you don’t have one already, you will need to buy one. --- APPROVAL --- This charger is a great space saver and a good phone mount to watch your entertainment on. Plugged in, it charges your phone with moderate charging speed and turns your phone into a visual clock if mounted sideways. It is a good stand + charger that I would recommend to someone with confidence.
