What do y'all use for charging your devices? To be more precise, do anyone use charging stands? My wife is looking for one that can charge her watch in nightstand mode and charge her device in landscape, whether wireless or wired charging. I say landscape because she tends to watch a show and then drift off to sleep, but she doesn't like watching it in portrait mode. I find some on amazon, but they're from no names in China.

So what do y'all use?
 
I've been using the Anker PowerWave 7.5w wireless charging stand for around a year and a half and love it. You can charge in portrait or landscape mode.. Apple leather case doesn't bother it either
 
A word of caution. Do not buy a Mophie Wireless Charging Stand. Mine broke after 8 months of use, and I had to pay about 10% of the cost of the unit in shipping charges to get a replacement. They lied and said return shipping on the old unit would be at their expense - it isn't, and the replacement was dead out of the box. I now have to return the first unit to them or they charge my credit card with the cost of the replacement. They are refusing a refund, so I will be out about 38% of the cost of the unit to end up with a dead one.
 
I routinely use whatever charger Apple includes with their devices. When it does not come with a charger (like AirPods or Apple Pencil 1) I use Apple’s low power ones, preferring not to force the batteries too much.
