Belkin vs Mophie wireless charger for iP8/8+/X ?

[Sheza]

Just picked up the Mophie to match my Space Grey iPhone X. Also got them to fit the Belkin Invisiglass and got the Cosmos Blue leather case.

Could I trouble you for some photos and comments of the screen protector? I'm currently having an internal debate with myself about whether I should go with a screen protector or not - what the trade offs are etc. The Apple-applied Belkin protector I had for my 7 Plus didn't quite do the job of covering the entire screen. From the product photos it looks like they've sold this with the X one - can you confirm? Thanks!

I picked up the mophie one from the Apple Store yesterday, after looking at the Belkin and Samsung in Best Buy.

So far I am extremely impressed. Build quality is excellent. It feels very solid. And the biggest reason I bought it, the size. It seems to be the smallest out of any of them. No cheap-looking plastic, and no vents or fans or anything. It’s just a very solid-feeling, very grippy disc. I’m very happy with it so far.

I’ve not had a screen protector for a few years as I usually put my phone in a leather sleeve. Also, I was rubbish at applying them. But since Apple offered the service I thought why not? They said that if you are not happy with their application they will keep doing it until you are happy.

Thank you!

I want to protect my screen from random scratches that occur despite the phone just sitting in my pocket... but I also don't want to lose the immersiveness of the OLED screen!

I've been using my Belkin nightly now for 5-6 weeks. Other than one single time early on where it stopped charging for some reason, I have woken up every single morning to a phone at 100%. No extra dings or charge dropping/topping off like some report. Sometimes I charge it next to me during the day just to see how it behaves once it hits 100% and it behaves exactly as it does plugged in - no weird behavior, just stays solid at 100% as expected.

In short, really happy with it.

No extra dings ...

I am convinced the extra dings were from a software problem Apple fixed in iOS 11.1. I have not had a single one since then.

Got my mophie charger this morning.

It's a very solid well constructed piece of it.

I'm loving it and wireless charging kicks ass.

Never going back! (Unless I'm in a rush and need quick charge off my iPad charger).

Both Mophie and Belkin are based on Qi standard and functions almost in same manner - only difference seems to be in the size, Mophie is compact in size and built quality looks solid and premium.

Problem with the Mophie is that while maybe it's easier to pick the phone up off of it, I could see it vibrating off of it during a call and potentially falling to the floor if the charger is near the edge of a desk.

Nah it’s very grippy. Though it does start to get slightly slick after a while, which I’m assuming is from dust, not entirely sure. When that happens, a quick clean around the edges puts you back to super grippy. And I don’t mean anything too involved, either. I literally just lick my finger, then wipe the ring off. Takes just a few seconds, and I’ve only done it maybe 2-3 times in the past 5 months.

It’s a very solid charger. Super well-built. I’m really impressed by it, far more than any others I’ve looked at.

Agreed. It almost has the tactile feel of rubber, much more grippy than the Belkin from what I saw in the store.

I'm looking for a Wireless Charge for my iPhone X too, but in my country I do not find Belkin or Anker, the most famous. I meet many with unknown brands. Is there any possibility of these Wireless Charge causing damage to my device or even the battery of it? Of course I will not buy a horrible Wireless Charger, but one brandless.
