Belkin - BOOST CHARGE™ 3-in-1 Wireless Charger For iPhone + Apple Watch + AirPods - White

This 3 in 1 charger is great. I read the reviews before purchasing and it is true that there is a noise when you put your phone on the charger. This is the only thing that could be a issue. It doesn’t bother me because we normally sleep with the tv on. However I don’t want the charger to become defective due to the noise. I’ve had it for a month now everything else about the wireless charger is amazing to me.

The simplicity of this 3 in 1 charger make this is an attractive and smart buy for those with the entire Apple accessory setup. It takes up a bit less space than the random branded 3 in ones that require assembly, or don't hold the watch well enough to allow it to fall. I had a need for a new charger base for all my Apple devices; including the AirPods with a wireless charging case. I purchased another stand, and it required the Watch sit on this small perch, which was angled, leading to my Watch falling with a small tap of the nightstand, or slipping as I tried to dock it. The Belkin stand doesn't suffer from that poor design, and there isn't any risk of your watch falling randomly. With the previous cheap stand requiring some assembly, I had fully prepared the need to attach some plastic arm or piece for the watch or AirPods charger. The only assembly required, is something that's essential for the device to work. The power wire leading from the wall brick, has a small arc shape, allowing it to slide into the base of the charger. This gives it a flush fit to the base, and not having this huge plug assembly you'd normally see with traditional plug ins. This allowed me to push it up against the back of my nightstand, where it sat fairly flush against the wall. Placing my iPhone 11 Pro on the charging stand, it immediately popped up with the green charging icon. Same result with the AirPods, which shows a led light when it's placed on a wireless charger. The Watch goes right into charging and Nightstand Mode (if enabled). All devices charged quickly; so no worry of slow trickle charges seen from other 3rd party cheap chargers. The ONLY issue is one that most users won't face, and I'm not entirely sure if it would have been avoidable. However, if you own a Milanese loop, or other metal band, you'll find that it constantly magnetizes to the AirPod charging base. It makes the loop draw itself to the wireless charging pad. There is no danger to this, as it doesn't overheat, and there isn't any risk of electrocution. It's just annoying that you can't keep the loop loosely sitting, without it reacting to the pad. If you want to keep the loop loose, just be prepared for the annoyance of needing to move the loop out of the way to place the AirPods on the charger, or snugly against your AirPods case. The best way around this, is just tightening the loop, and have it just sit behind the Watch charge base. It won't interfere with the charging pad, and allows for easy access to the AirPods charge pad. Most users will not experience this, and if you're using any other (non-metal) band, you'll be very happy with this charging solution. Overall, the charger works great, takes up less space, is well priced, and helps save you from having 3 separate chargers, plugged in, for all your devices. I didn't dock the star from the charger, as it didn't annoy me enough to decide against using it, and it's a great upgrade to my previous cheap charging base.

Works perfectly. Saves space. Pleasing to the eye

I wanted something easy to charge both my iPhone and Apple watch and that is where the Belkin Boost comes in. With only one power wire to charge both phone and watch was very appealing to me. The boost also has area for little nick knacks that can be stored behind the Apple watch, like rings or spare change. The wireless charging is so convenient and allows charging without taking off the phone protector. It doesn't get any easier then this!!

Pros: * Fast wireless charging for iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods * Attractive and clean styling * Single power cable * Subtle white status lights for Phone and AirPods charging * Supports a suitable angle for iPhone and “nightstand” mode for Apple Watch * Small dimple to hold phone in place * Small “tray” to hold AirPods in place Cons: * Small dimple that holds phone in place requires proper lateral alignment or phone will slide off * Status lights only indicate when devices are aligned; not when they are done charging * Not designed for travel use My Review: Let’s say you’re fully bought into the Apple ecosystem and have an iPhone, an Apple Watch and a set of AirPods Pro or standard AirPods with the wireless charging case. I have an iPhone 11 Pro, an Apple Watch S5 and a set of AirPods Pro. All three of them can charge wirelessly, but you most likely will have three separate chargers. Not only will that normally need three cords and three power adapters, but it also creates a bit of clutter on your desk or nightstand. This awesome Belkin charger wrangles all that into a single attractive combo charger. Not only does it look great on a desk or nightstand, but it allows all three of your Apple devices to charge at the same time in the same place and with only one power cord. Let’s start with the phone charger. Your phone sits upright at about an 80 degree angle so you can see and operate the screen and FaceID quite easily while it’s still on the stand. Most similar vertical chargers have a lip or ledge to keep the bottom of the phone from popping out. This charger has a small dimple that fits just slightly into the Lightening port hole. It may not seem like it should work, but it does- as long as you center the phone such that the dimple fits in that hole on the phone. I even tried to push on the top of the phone like I was selecting stuff at the top of the screen and the bottom stayed put. Note that you cannot wirelessly charge your phone on its side (landscape orientation) - it must sit upright. My phone is naked, but Belkin claims that it can support wireless charging even through “normal” cases. The Apple Watch charger is perfectly vertical and is designed to hold the watch sideways for “Nightstand” mode. It works great and the watch band loops around back. Depending on your watch band, you might need to leave the band loosely fastened so that it loops around your AirPods case behind the watch. No complaints- it works just fine. There is no status light for when the watch is charging because the watch’s face provides enough status information. Behind the vertical watch charger puck is a small indentation-like tray for the AirPods case. That tray helps with alignment for the wireless charging and works just like you’d expect. Drop the AirPods case in the tray, the status LED lights up and the case (and the AirPods within) charges. Even the AC adapter is thoughtfully designed. The cord is removable and labeled for the product so you know what you may be plugging in or unplugging if under a desk, etc. The end that plugs into the charger is molded to fit perfectly and the AC end isn’t very large. Overall, I have absolutely no reservations in recommending this charger for those who have all three Apple devices and want to charge them in one convenient and attractive spot. Just note that the vertical bits are not removable and don’t fold down, so you might want to think twice about taking this charger with you when you travel as it’s a tad bulky to pack. It does take up a bit more table space than just a phone charger, but you get a ton of convenience for that extra real estate space and it only needs one of your precious few power outlets to fuel up all of your Apple EDC items.

THE BREAKDOWN: The packaging was very well done and protected. It came with the stand and power cable that is 2 prong regular 120V house plug. The design of the dock is sleek and light. It can charge your iPhone, Apple watch and AirPods all at once. I have a thick Otterbox Case on my IPhone XS Max and it still charged it with no issues. You do have to make sure you set it nice and flat on the dock otherwise it will not charge. My only real complaint is with the Apple watch charging dock. I have a protective case around my watch ( it is a series 5, 44mm) and it won’t mount to charge on the dock. If I take the case off it charges just fine, but at the annoyance of taking off your case and putting it on everyday. I feel that it should be able to move/pull up a few clicks to accommodate watch cases or just mount on top. The only issue with mounting on top is you lose your nightstand mode, but with your phone do you really need the nightstand mode on the watch?? The Air Pod charger works as intended and I had no complaints with that. One thing I failed to mention is that it does have LED lights that shows the charging status. PRO’s: -Charge 3 devices at once -Night Mode for Apple Watch -LED light showing charging status -Charges phone with thick case CON’s: - Will not charge Apple Watch with case on SUMMARY: Overall, I feel that this product worked very well and I would recommend this to a friend if they are in the market for device like this.

## Design While AirPower has been cancelled, this Belkin wireless charging dock might be the next best thing. The charging dock has dedicated locations for your iPhone, Apple Watch, and Apple AirPods (with wireless charging case) or AirPods Pro. Your Apple products must be placed in the designated locations on Belkin’s 3-in-1 dock (unlike the AirPower pad that touted the ability to place your items anywhere on the mat). The charging puck for the Apple Watch holds it upright horizontally which allows you to take advantage of "Nightstand mode" where the current time is displayed on the Apple Watch when it detects movement. The only potential issue I see with the position of the Apple Watch charger is that the band of your watch may get in the way of the AirPods charging area, so you’ll probably need to move the band out of the way if you wish to charge your AirPods. There are two LED indicators: one for the iPhone charger and one for the AirPod charging area. They will light up white to show active charging and flash an amber color if the device is not charging (or if metal is detected). The charging cord connects to the back. The wall plug is somewhat large, so you'll likely need to plug it into the bottom outlet to avoid blocking two outlets. Power strips might be trickier. ## Features 7.5 watt fast charging: This Belkin charging dock supports the faster 7.5 watt wireless charging speed for iPhones (compared to 5 watts of many of other wireless chargers), but this may not matter to you if you mainly use the charging dock overnight. No USB charging port: This stand does not have an extra USB charging port like some of Belkin’s other charging stations. Therefore, you will not be able to plug in a cable for wired charging. ## Performance I have not had any issue with this wireless charging dock. I have been able to charge my iPhone X, Apple Watch Series 5 and AirPods (Gen 2) all at the same time without an issue. I even have a thin TPU case on both my iPhone and my AirPods’ case and they still charge fine. Unlike some of Belkin’s other wireless chargers, I have not noticed a high-pitched squeal when items are charging, but I am older, and my ears might not be as sensitive as younger users might be. I have been able to charge other wireless headphones (that support Qi wireless charging) in the spot designated for the AirPods. For example, I have been able to charge the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 earbuds in this spot, so you do not need to specifically own AirPods to take advantage of the wireless Qi charging pad. ## Summary Overall, the Belkin BOOST CHARGE 3-in-1 Wireless Charger handles 3 Apple products at once like a champ. However, it is important to note that there is no charging port to connect your own cable, so if you have another item like an iPad that you need to charge, you will need a separate wall charger for it.

The Belkin - Boost Up Wireless Charging Dock is a powerful 3-in-one charging station. It charges 3 Apple devices simultaneously: - Qi-Enabled iPhone - Apple Watch - AirPods The Qi enabled iPhone is held vertically, so you can easily use it while charging. Most charging stations hold the iPhone horizontally, making it virtually impossible to read the phone, much less use it, while charging flat on it's back. It will charge the iPhone in virtually any holder up to 3mm thick. The LED charging indicator illuminates when the iPhone is positively on charge. This assures the phone is placed properly on the stand & confirms that the iPhone is actually charging. Most of the other charging bases require sliding the iPhone incrementally until the phone beeps, indicating it is charging. This charging base is shaped ergonomically & activates the charge every time the phone is placed. The design is minimalist; it looks good in just about any environment. The base is fitted with non-slip feet; this keeps the phone stable so you can actually use it safely without sliding or falling off the charger. See attached photos that show all 3) devices being charged simultaneously. iPhones are fast charged at 7.5 watts; Apple Watch & AirPods are charged at 5 watts. CONCLUSION: This Belkin Boost Charge 3-in-1 wireless charger is the BEST of 4 wireless chargers at my house. It charges faster, holds the iPhone at a perfect angle to use securely while charging & is attractively designed in a white, curved body. I highly recommend it!
