Customer Ratings & Reviews

The iottie Velox magsafe dual charger is one of many like it on the market. those things on the market. There are many brands making a similar product and at variety of price points. You might even see some options at the check stand at your local retailer. But not all chargers are created equal. Often times you get what you pay for and you can feel the difference in quality. So in saying all that, I’ll start by saying I already have a product like this from a well known brand. The dual charger I have charges both your phone and an Apple Watch. The iottie charges your iPhone and your AirPods. Both are great. But what I like about the iOttie is the MagSafe function coupled with the way it looks and its reliability. If you don’t know what MagSafe is by now, it’s basically the ability to magnetically connect things to the back of select iPhones if you utilize the right case on your phone. This allows for you to literally connect your phone to the top circular charger on the Ottie. Similarly, if you have a MagSafe capable set of AirPods, you can place them in the lower charger (one that looks like a small tray). Why do I say reliable? Because you feel the phone and AirPods snap into place when you put them on the charger. In comparison to the other one I have, the iPhone rests against the charging plate and if it’s off center it won’t charge. So if you don’t notice it, you may have placed it wrong and your phone is not charging. Which is obviously frustrating. No issue with this charger. Finally the look. The heavy base if for form and function. But does well both ways. And I really like the look of the metal arm holding the iPhone charger portion. They could have easily went cheaper and made it plastic, and it would probably be almost as nice. But the chromed metal just looks and feels more substantial. As far as charging? Well that is something that really matters here. To be honest it no different than any other magnetic charger I’ve used. Takes the same amount of time to charge. So this aspect of it is sort of a wash. The top plate is 7.5W and the AirPods plate is 5W. I can’t tell a difference compared to other charging plates, but I know it works well and is reliable. All in all, I’d definitely recommend it to anyone that needs a dual charger for iPhone and AirPods. It won’t charge an Apple Watch, I’ve tried it. But if you use both those devices constantly and want a single station to charge them on, this is a great option for you and I’d recommend it.

The iOttie Velox MagSafe duo charger is a nice-looking premium charger with an affordable price point. It’s a premium-looking charger that blends in well with most environments. Not only does it charge your iPhone but it can also charge your Air Pods at the same time including any Qi-enabled earbuds. The magnets do an excellent job of holding on to your iPhone when charging. Charging speeds were decent coming in under 2 hrs to fully charge my iPhone 13 Pro Max from 11% battery life. For the charging brick, I used a 25 watt charger that came with my Samsung Phone. Your mileage might vary depending on the charging brick you use. I recommend at minimum a 20 watt charger which most USB Type C chargers should be. There are some small quirks I should mention. The first one is the built-in cable. Now the built-in cable has a generous amount of cable length, but for longevity, it means once the cable goes out you will pretty much end up with a dead paperweight. The built-in cable was barely long enough to reach my nightstand from the outlet. I would prefer the ability to use my own USB-C cable instead. I don’t expect this to be an issue since the charger is meant to be stationary, but the risk is there either way. The last one is the LED light that only seems to light up when charging your earbuds but not when the iPhone is charging. Not even when your iPhone is the only thing charging. Overall the iOttie Velox Magsafe Duo Charger is well worth the asking price. It’s well-built that looks and feels premium. The only thing missing is the ability to charge your Apple Watch. It doesn’t come with a charging adapter but the price well makes up for it. It’s an excellent accessory to compliment your iPhone and Air Pods.

Sleek and Multi Purpose Wireless Charger allows you to charge your phone and other wireless devices at one time. The stand allows your phone to remain in view which is nice if you use your phone as an alarm clock. You don't have to get up to see your phone which typically would face the ceiling. Now your phone would face you and you can see it with ease while in bed. Also, it allows you use your phone while charging. So why only four stars? While this device is great, it's not perfect. The cord coming from the charger has a USB C end. It does not come with a plug so you have to have a charging plug with a USB C outlet. I do not so I had to connect it to my computer to get it to work. The other thing I didn't like is the magnet is weak. If your phone is in a case, the magnet may not be strong enough to secure the phone. You have to remove it from the case or use the bottom wireless charger defeating the purpose of the charger positioning the phone upright. Outside of these minor things, the charger works perfectly well.

So As apple and other providers, continue the shift away from wire based charging... getting the right wireless charger is going to be important for everyone. This iOttie, is good... but a few additional things and it will be really good. So this is a Magnetic "mag-safe" charger. So for Apple products you would need one of the later generation phones to work with it. (iPhone 13/14). If you have a case, better check that case as well. My original case, would allow wireless charging, and would allow mag-ring as well... just was too thick to use this style of vertical. So I upgraded my case, to one with a dedicated mag ring and all is good. Phone stops on to the base, and starts charging immediately. You can feel the vibration, and see the indicator. I haven't really timed the charge, but it is pretty quick. I have this right on my work desk, in a short while I am back to 100% (provided the phone isn't throttling the charge). One thing I would have liked to see, is an option to adjust the tilt of the device. just a little bit, like between 5-10% degrees would have been grate. The base charges your AirPods... very simple, drop them into the recessed area, and they charge. works out fine. So where I would have liked to see improvements. - This does NOT come with an adapter, you need to provide one that has enough wattage to charge your devices. This was seriously disappointing, as this IS A CHARGING base. it should have come with the wall adapter. - This does not support your Apple Watch. Yes, I knew that when getting that, but adding that support to a future model, as so many other similar devices have.. would make this a more complete charging base.

Pro: -Strong magnet -Dual charging Con: -No adapter included -Charging bay is 5W -Non detachable cable The charging stand works well and is a good space saver with dual charging. It looks nice and clean with an aluminum build. The Magsafe has a strong magnet and works well with a compatible Magsafe phone case. If you have a very thin case, the magnet may be strong enough to hold it in place. One annoyance is that the stand is light so whenever I try to remove my phone, it picks up the stand with it. The charging bay is not a fast charger, at only 5W. It’s just big enough to place a phone on and has a bit of a curve but can still charge my older phone through its case. The LED will blink red, I think when the device is fully charged. The stand has a non detachable USB-C cable and doesn’t include a power adapter. I don’t mind not having an adapter, but I would rather it have a removable cable so I could replace it if needed. I have mine plugged into a multiport charger and it’s been working fine.

I recently made the move back to iPhone from Android, and one of the most pleasant additions coming back to this world is MagSafe. I was very excited to pick up this magnetic charging stand, and I've been very pleased. The navy/gold color scheme is sleek, yet understated - a nice break from the monotonous black/grey/white we're usually stuck with in tech accessories. The magnet for the phone to attach to is strong. Very strong. I'm a big fan of that, as this charger lives on my night stand and as someone who tosses and turns frequently, the peace of mind of knowing that if I bump my phone in the middle of the night, it won't drop to the floor and stop charging (and make turning off my alarm a nightmare) is pretty great. I'm also quite pleased with the charging time as well. Though to be fair, I'm not sure if that's the stand or the charging brick I've plugged it into as, unfortunately, this stand does not come with an AC adapter in the box. A bonus to the stand is the addition of the AirPods charger. I always charge them wirelessly and it's nice to be able to charge both my headphones and my phone at the same time. All in all, this is a nice little stand with the only minor downside that it doesn't come with the charger. As long as you know that going in, you'll be pleased.

This is the second iOttie brand product I own. Both are well-made, and perform just as good as they look. This Velox MagSafe Duo Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand has the stylish appearance of a high-end electronic accessory, without the "high-end" cost. The surface of the round magnetic mounting disk on the metal stand, as well as, the AirPod charging pad, is made of a smooth silicone material. The metal stand itself is a delicate 'golden' color and gives this practical everyday accessory a much more "fancy" look. The only 'downside' I can see is that the power cord, which attaches to the base, isn't detachable, so you are unable to remove it and replace it in case the cord gets damaged in some way. It's nice to have that option as "life happens," but alas, this accessory does not have this option. Overall, I'm liking this iOttie Velox Duo Magnetic Charging Stand. It's really convenient to be able to charge both devices (iPhone and AirPods) at the same time; to just put them together in one place for charging, and then to grab them when you're ready to go.

While I've had a phone capable of using this for a while now, this is the first time I have gotten one. I have read so many reviews of products that do not hold the phone up that I was hesitant to put any money down on one until seeing this. The design of this one with the perfectly sized spot for my headphones just looks good to me. Taking this out of the box was very simple, and it was well-packaged. There is no assembly and it is just a matter of finding the proper place to keep it, as it is not designed to be frequently moved. I placed it on my desk at work right in between my monitors. The height could be tricky if you keep your monitors low to the desk. I used a desk charging station that has two USB-C ports on it and it seemed to work quite nicely. I have noticed that using a wireless charger will not charge nearly as quickly as a wired fast-charger, but it does charge. I like the fact that it is positioned just right for viewing at my desk, whether in portrait or landscape mode. I also love the fact that I can be watching my phone, while it is charging, and it looks like it is floating.

The product is packaged very well. It looks great, with a deep blue base & MagSafe pad, with a light golden stand. It is constructed very solid, and feels very good to hold. The charging pad in the base, is lined with a velvety silicone or other soft material, and charges ear buds with no problem. Unfortunately, it is not that useful in charging my iPhone or keeping it in place. The lenses on the iPhone 14 PRO are much more prominant than that of the 12 or 13. It will charge the iPhone, but due to the bezel on the MagSafe charging pad, in conjunction with the raised camera lenses, the iPhone will not sit flush on the iOttie Velox MagSafe Duo's MagSafe charging pad. It will charge the iPhone if you slightly angle the camera lenses against the MagSafe charging pad, but because it is not making full contact with the MagSafe pad, the iPhone falls off the iOttie's MagSafe pad if there is excessive vibration or if the iPhone vibrates when it rings. IF you purchase an extra metal MagSafe ring and place it on the iOttie Velox MagSafe Duo's charging pad, it will make full contact with your iPhone 14 PRO and hold it in place. But you should not have to but the ring.

If you have an I phone and air pods it will bring you down to one cord which is nice. Hanging the phone in the air works well if you do not have a case in or have a magnetic compatible case. In a pinch if you get it in the perfect spot you can charge a phone on the bottom. It is functional, just not very exciting. Magnetic charging is pretty main stream these days. It is more compact then many other dual function chargers that I have seen. You can not charge the watch in the air pod spot. For me personally I don’t charge the air pods often enough for me to find this terribly useful. Dangling the phone in the air seems unnecessary specially when I use the secondary feature so rarely. It does not shrink down at all so packing it is not convenient and I would be afraid to break it. It isn’t flimsy, but let us face that our bags are not handled carefully sometimes even by us trying to squish everything into the car. Not bad if it is just going to sit there and you use both products often enough to charge regularly.

Great affordable product, arrived in great condition
