Like this one, for example. The price is a fraction of the Apple's charger. Do you recommend it?

Yep, no exposed metal ring like apple crap MagSafe puck.

My cousin iPhone 12 Pro Max & case have a permanent circle on the back of them that won't come off, all thanks to apple poorly designed MagSafe charger.

the belkin 3 x 1 does it too
 
That doesn’t look good at all, I’d be demanding a replacement or refund from apple.

These leather cases aren’t cheap, $89 over here. ?
Try $95AUD, I got it free so can't complain, think it will happen anyway if you continually use it with magsafe, in car too.
I don't use magsafe in car anymore so will probably go back to cables eventually, the belkin 3 x 1 is good for watch and AirPods.
Not keen on putting my new nomad on it lol.

Contacted amazon chat, returning the 3 x 1 for a refund, not bad considering it's 11 months old, I have a 24" iMac so will go back to charging with it, not sure on the battery % going down on this magsafe charger overtime too.

Love my 3-1, my favorite charger of all time.

Might just get a wireless one that has stand. no magsafe one.
Might be the best option, especially if you’re paranoid about getting more marks on the back of your cases.

No 15W fast charging though. ?

Was looking at this, 10w will do me, but want a usb-c end to plug into my iMac. not sure if possible?

The original Apple Magsafe one here is about $19.99 (After using discount coupon provided freely). The Belkin one is $14 on Amazon. For this price I think one will immediately get the Apple one but sounds like I can charge wirelessly with the Belkin one without having to use a special phone case right?

What’s it say in the description for the belkin charger? Post a link.

Case has nothing to do with it.

What phone are you using?

iPhone 12 mini.... As far as I know, the original Apple Magsafe wireless charger must be either used without a case or with the Apple's Magsafe case, isn't it? I don't know, I'm not sure I am not very much into technology things

If I need to use the Apple's one without a case or with Apple's case then I'll get the Belkin one, otherwise, without doubt I will pay just $5 more for the original one..... so this is an important considerations.

Isn't it well known that the Belkin one can be used with any case less than 3mm?

Looks like it’s a bit hit & miss when it comes to non MagSafe cases.
