    iOttie has definitely stepped up their game with the Velox MagSafe Duo Charger. It has the super premium look and feel of a high-end Apple accessory and the packaging and everything else look and feel great. Most importantly, the product works great as well. One of my favorite upgrades in the last few years with iPhones has been the introduction of MagSafe. Induction charging used to be kind of slow and with car mounts, the magnet to hold the phone blocked the inductive charging capabilities. Then accessory mfgs like iOttie introduced clip/spring style inductive chargers which worked ok, but it could be a pain to remove phones especially if you had a case. With MagSafe the magnet is integrated and the phone hangs and charges, brilliant!!! It looks great and it’s extremely functional too. My wife also had airpod Pros so she can charge them too on this charger and they fit right into the groove. Only thing it is missing is the Apple Watch charger but 2/3 isn’t bad. One thing to note is that there is no usb-c wall plug included, so you will need to purchase a wall plug or buy an outlet that has usb-c. I didn’t take a star off for this because most Apple devices have gone in this direction. Love this charger from iOttie!!!

    The iOttie Velox Magsafe magnetic wireless charger is the perfect nightstand companion for anyone who wants to declutter their space. You can ditch your iPhone and AirPods cables for one that is far more elegant and charges both simultaneously. The 7.5W magnetic stand and 5W charging pad are plenty to charge your devices overnight or give them a quick boost if you’re on the go. The charging pad is soft, so it won’t scratch your AirPods case or that of any other Qi enabled device you might have on there. The raised edges of the charging pad are nice for AirPods users specifically as they’re the perfect fit for an AirPods Pro case. Of course the magnetic charging stand is great too. As with any Magsafe charger, your phone will stick in the perfect spot for optimal charging (assuming you’re also using a Magsafe case). The only gripe I have with this charging stand is that it does not come with a USB-C power brick. At this price point, it is competitive with others out there, but I would be willing to pay a little more to have a 20W brick included. You may already have one, in which case this point is mute. Otherwise, you can easily find 20W bricks at BestBuy or just about any other retailer. I would recommend this charging stand and plan to get another for my husband soon.

    The iOttie - Velox MagSafe magnetic charging station is sleek, elegant, and looks great on your desktop, nightstand or actually anywhere you charge devices. The brushed aluminum and dark blue color provide a nice contrast and it has a weighted base with non-slip feet. I use it on my desk to charge my phone throughout the day and the strong magnet keeps the phone firmly in place. It's at the perfect angle for viewing and I can see messages and phone calls without having to pick up my phone. The USB-C charging cord is long enough to use this just about anywhere. Offers dual wireless charging for your IPhone and Airpods (or other Qi enabled device). Both the magnetic face and base charge pad have a soft felt-like material on them to prevent scratching. The phone charge boasts 7.5 watts, the base is 5 watts, and you can charge both at the same time without any noticeable decrease in speed. It charges and holds your phone if it doesn't have a case, but the greatest feature - other than the cool design - is that it charges equally as well if your phone is in a MagSafe compatible case. No longer do you have to remove the case to charge your phone! Such a cool look and practical as well.

    Nice MagSafe charger

    The iOttie Velox charger is a well made MagSafe charger option for iPhone users. The Velox charger gives you the ability to charge your iPhone and AirPods or other Qi enabled earbuds together. As much as like the ability to charge earbuds, having the ability to charge an Apple Watch would have been a nice addition instead. The charger feels very sturdy and the aluminum and plastic construction has a quality feel. The charging cable is built in to the stand and cannot be detached. This to me is a negative because if the cable gets damaged the stand is useless, a removable cable would have been a lot better. The charging end of the cable is a USB-C which is nice, but it doesn’t come with a power brick. This is becoming more and more the norm for devices as companies push more environmentally friendly designs. The Velox doesn’t take advantage of the iPhones fast charging capabilities even with a power brick that can. iOttie says it will charge the iPhone @ 7.5w and AirPods @ 5w and recommends a 20w power brick. If this is your bedside charger (like it’s is for me) and you’re charging overnight that wouldn’t be a concern, but if you need fast charging this doesn’t have it. As an initial test, I was able to charge my 14 pro max from 53% to 80% in about an hour and fifteen minutes. The Velox by iOttie is a nice 2 in 1 charging stand in the ever expanding field of MagSafe chargers.

    I like this charging stand because of the design and color, I have an iPhone 13 pro max gold. It looks great whether it is charging or not. The base has a pad to charge the airpods with wireless charging case too. Regarding the device itself I can say that for the price I expected to have the wall charger included but it is not, however I'm not using the charger for my iphone, so I use it to connect the base and it works properly. The magnet holds the phone very well but if used with case, this must be compatible with magsafe because if not the phone does not hold in the base. The only charging indicator light is on the bottom and is activated only when the airpods are placed to charge. Despite not having fast charging, it doesn't take long to charge my iPhone, I'd say it's like using a regular wall charger. The Airpods also take the regular time to charge to 100%, I don't really notice any difference. In summary, this wireless charging stand is visually aesthetic and looks elegant, it weighs just enough to hold my phone and to remove the phone from the stand without a problem. Charging the phone is ok since it takes a little longer than fast charging, Airpods no problem. It is a solid product that fulfills its purpose.

    Great Wireless Charger

    Excellent choice for quality and value! First impressions, this is a quality item. Packaging was solid and simple. Opening box you'll find the charger and the ubiquitous simple info sheet. Not too much to it, but what is there certainly feels high quality. It's made of metal and solid plastics. Other similar products I've tested had a cheap feel. They certainly worked, but did not have the heft and attractive lines that this has. We tested with my wife's iPhone 13 Pro and AirPods Pro. The Velox handled both like a champ. The phone was held in place with a confident feel and the AirPods sat comfortably on the indented pad. A couple of items to note: First {as advertised} it does not come with a plug in block for wall charging. No big deal, most of us have a couple extra laying around. Second, the case we tested for her phone was a Spec case and it did NOT hold magnetically nor did it charge. That said, her AirPods DID charge while in their case. Just know, this is case specific and your individual case may or may not work. End of the day, this a welcome addition to most any décor, desk or counter. A great value in an attractive device. I would recommend to a friend.

    Nice little nightstand charger for your iPhone

    Having read some of the reviews prior to posting I felt it right to correct some of the misinformation that seems to be out there regarding this "MagSafe Compatible" Charger. Power Brick not included: Confirmed. Is this a mistake? Probably. Is this common? Absolutely. I will note, that I find this USB-C connector preferable to a dedicated power-brick pin solution that other prominent makers of these types of stands have. At least I have the flexibility to use with whatever USB-C charge I want. Charging capability: 7.5W to the phone / 5W to the base. This is not going to fast charge your iPhone no matter what power-brick you pair with it. This is great to use on your night stand to charge overnight. iPhone 14 Pro Compatibility: I have no idea what the 1-star reviewer is talking about, but there is no issue with iPhone 14 Pro and anything to do with larger camera bezels. I'm guessing he copied a review of a similarly named Apple product, but please rest assured that this charging stand works perfectly well with iPhone 14 Pro. Magnet Strength: A few reviewers noted that magnet strength was a little weak and that they wouldn't work with cases that weren't MagSafe compatible. This is to be expected. Also to be expected - the heavier the phone the more strain on the magnetic connection. An iPhone Mini 13 will have a stronger connection than an iPhone 14 Pro Max. That's just basic engineering. All naked iPhones will still mount securely without issue and if you have a case just make sure it's got the embedded MagSafe ring. Easy peasy. Ultimately, this is an attractive stand that's well built and charges your iPhone and airpods (or other Qi compatible devices) and that's all it does. Buy it for looks and aesthetics and enjoy it!

    I was excited to try this cordless charger for my phone at my desk. I work remotely and spend tons of time in front of the two monitors on my desk and having my phone visible without picking it up, while also charging it!, sounded like a good plan. At first, I thought the brand name case I had on my phone was appropriate, but unfortunately, it did not work! Phone would not attach to the elevated charger. I had bought the case with the MagSafe in mind a year ago, but must have ended up buying one that was not MagSafe. so, off to BestBuy for a different case! After obtaining another case, I was able to 'stick' my phone on the magnet which put it in view (should it make noises or vibrate) without my having to pick it up. Best of all, it was effortlessly charging the phone without my having to 1.Search for the phone under piles of files and 2. find a charging cord, and 3. insert said cord into the base of the phone. Added bonus is a flat charging surface on the iOttie which can charge your earphones or another phone! So, make sure your case is approved MagSafe!

    Well when it comes to design, it’s form factor is simply beautiful. It’s sleek, attractive, and modern. It fits into any room. The brass or brushed gold accent is lovely and it’s not bulky or intrusive. The weighted base keeps it firmly on the tabletop, even with my leather case that’s also a wallet that swings open. It holds the phone steady and has a strong enough magnet to hold up the phone with the extended wallet which tends to make my phone heavy to one side when charging. The bonus to being able to charge the phone is having the ability to charge another device, like my AirPods or Apple Watch, stylishly haha. No bulky flat ugly charging pads or watches levitating in the air to charge. The cord is long which is great. But It’s attached to the base and cannot be removed or replaced. It is not fast at all when it comes to charging. In fact, it’s so slow in my opinion that I’ve found myself removing my phone and just plugging it up on my regular charging cord when I need my phone to be charged rapidly. For me this is only useful for night time when you are sleeping, evenings when you’ve given yourself a break from your phone or downtimes like a lazy Sunday afternoon. But if you have places to be or things to do and you need your phone to gain some juice before leaving home, don’t bother. It’ll take some time. 5 stars for looks, minus 2 stars for its lack of speed during charging.

    iottie Magnetic Wireless Charging Duo Stand Summary: Purposeful and sleek dual charging stand. Pros: * Firm grip. The magnetic charging stand has a matte coating and magnet that ensures a great grip on your devices. * Stylish contrasting materials and colors add a touch of sophistication not seen in other colors (white on white, silver on white, black, etc.). * Form factor is just right. It takes up only as much space as it needs on your desk and not one square inch more. * Works great when paired with an adequately sized power supply (not included). Cons: * Perhaps not an issue, but it could use some adjustability. * WISH LIST - Would love an option that included Apple Watch charging, too. Use: I am redoing my office space and really needed a charger/holder that I could put at my desk while working. This unit matches the new aesthetic just fine. Matte golds and rubberized blacks give it a svelte and modern look. Paired with a nice power supply and this unit charges phones and air pods in a snap. Plus, it holds devices securely while using the phones for FaceTime or other video calls.

    The iOttie-Velox MagSafe Duo is a contemporary styled Wireless charger for your iPhone and qi enabled earbuds. The base and charging pad are black and the metal parts are chrome. As long as your iPhone case is MagSafe compatible. The stand will hold it is the optimal position for viewing while it is charging, perfect for a work desk, nightstand or anyplace you would like to see the phone while it charges. A charging pad for your Qi enabled earbuds on the base has a slight curved depression to keep them in place. The stand supplies 7.5W to the phone and 5W to the earbuds for wireless QI charging. A black USB C charging cable that is long enough to reach your charger for most situations connects to a charger (not supplied) to supply power. . There is a led light on the charging pad to indicate charging is active. The stand has a nonslip silicone on the base. This charging stand is well made, good looking and functional a great charging alternative to those ugly pads and charging pucks.

    The iOttie charging stand is well designed if you need a combination of charging, regular display of your phone screen, and a convenient place to keep your MagSafe-enabled earbud case charged and ready to go. The aesthetics aren’t luxury, but still nice looking on a desk-top or bedside table. It is not “fast-charge” enabled. This iteration of iOttie’s Velox MagSafe Duo Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand does NOT include the AC adapter (power brick). For me, the missing AC adapter is not a problem in my home where I have numerous USB plug-in charging stations. However, it is inconvenient for my traveling activities. It sends me on a hunt for my USB-C charging brick if I’m going to be on the road. The magnetic pull of the charging disk is OK and effective on my naked iPhone 13. It will not hold on to my iPhone if it remains in my inexpensive, clear plastic, protective case. There are other cases that solve this problem by embedding magnets in the case, itself. I have to decide whether to acquire a new case for my aging phone or forgo a case entirely. I didn’t want another decision to make. I can make this phone/earbud case, charging solution work for me. But, it’s only fair to note that it will come up short for others. The iOttie Velox requires compromises if your needs don’t match what it offers.

    Upgraded my phone to the iPhone 14 Max Pro and decided to upgrade my charger as well. My old phone was a iPhone X that did have wireless charging but didn't seem to charge very fast and it was very picky about where it was located on the charging pad. I was being cautions on plunging into another wireless charge especially one that looks like it just holds the phone there. Well I'm happy to say that this works like a charm! Note that you will need to get a USB-C adapter to plug it into if you want to plug it into the wall. Once everything was connected I placed the phone on it and it grab it and held it in place with ease. You can also rotate it just by spinning it. It charges just as well as my corded charger or at least it seems that way. The base will also charge your air pods just by placing them on the base. So the bottom line is this is a great charger that would look good on any desk or nightstand. I'm glad I took the plunge on the new charger. They have come a long way from my previous one.

    Overall the this is a very nice however there are a few improvements that could be made to make it a 5 star product. First the things I like - 1. The design, the minimalist approach matched well in any environment 2. Fast charge - very fast charge for a magsafe 3. Charge area for airpods in the base 4. Weighted base - makes the overall feel very solid and does move every time you touch your phone. 5. Phone tilt with attached is great for facetime hands free call Now for the things I don't like 1. The Magnet strength - doesn't seem to be as strong as other devices I have, I had no issues with just the phone however I have a very thin (albeit non magsafe case that's worked with ever other magsafe device that I have) and it would not hold. 2. The base on formed to hold airpods, but nothing else. Bottom-line is if you have airpods it's great if you have anything else it may of may not work 3. In following the apple philosophy it doesn't come with a power brick - not a major problem just a bit of an inconvenience as it's a USB C type connector. I have about a million USB A thanks to everything else but only a few USB Cs All in all it's a good charger - if you have a phone and airpods you'll think it's 5 stars if not, I might look for something else

    This is very solid construction and attractive design.The base is sufficiently heavy that it's not going to move around when you take your phone off the stand or let the magnets clip it on. However, rather than just pulling the phone directly off, you need to angle it a bit first to break the connection. Otherwise, you are going to need a second hand to hold the base steady while pulling your phone off. The base has a slightly scalloped area to charge your earbuds which helps to align the charging coils. However, it is a bit finicky about being lined up exactly. I used it to charge a pair of Samsung buds and the charging light kept cycling on and off until I got them positioned just right. The post that supports the phone charger is very sturdy, and there's no wobble where it meets the base. The phone is positioned at a good angle, but I would like the ability to tweak the angle up or down. This one is not moving; it's fixed firmly in place. The only other drawback is that the cord is permanently attached to the charger, it's not a separate USB C cord that you could swap out if it starts to wear, or if you wanted a shorter or longer cord. It does appear to work fine with a lower-powered charger, able to supply both the phone and buds with power at the same time.
