Just got it delivered today. I used the Logitech 3-1 charger and it sucked and the magnets were weak and my Apple Watch kept falling out of place. Also I came to find out that it didn’t have fast charging (15W). I love the new Belking charger. It’s fantastic! One of the best products I’ve owned! Totally worth the price.
Got a tip for us?

I agree, I use it myself since the launch of the charger and it’s absolutely worth the price. Great built quality and all the features I needed
Another happy customer here. I was reluctant to pull the trigger due to the price, but it has definitely been worth it.
I will be getting the iphone 13 is this charger compatible with that? This will be my very first iphone and since Im also going to be getting the apple watch series 7 and the new airpods(Once they come out) want to be sure this is compatible with everything..if it is, what case is recommended for the iphone 13 so that it will work with this charger. Thanks
Interested! There seem to be a couple of models. Any model name/number, or just a picture please😃
Just bought one today and the watch stays perfectly straight! Magnet is strong enough not letting the watch tilt. Expensive but well worth it!
Does it work good with the apple airpods? I am planning on getting the new apple watch series 7 and new airpods once they come out but I read some reviews on the belkin and read how with the airpods it doesnt always charge good if its not on the right spot and if you dont remove it when its done charging it can ruin it
Works perfectly with my Airpods pro! No difficulty aligning it to get it charge.
Awesome thanks!! what case do you recommend for the magsafe..I just ordered my iphone last night(Actually brother in law did it was on his tmobile plan) Ive been looking around amazon for some cases but am not sure what is compatible and what isnt
I really wanted the 3-1, and after the new camera bump and my current 3-1 stand not working consistently, I purchased the Belkin 3-1. I have two complaints. First, my Apple Watch is constantly sliding to the side. I had to get little felt pads to put on the outside of the watch charger to hold it down. I use a sport loop and it just won't stay still. Second, I've noticed that my AirPods charger isnt fully consistent. Not sure if its the case or the unit itself, but I have no issues on other wireless chargers.
Really have a hard time spending so much money on a charger. I have some time before I have to return it, but if anyone has suggestions about keeping the watch from moving besides adding felt to the charger, I'm all ears.

What kind of wireless charger do you recommend for the iphone 13..this is my first iphone so honestly have no idea which is good, Qi-based wireless charger or magsafe then I have to get the right case for it, etc..I just dont prefer using the port too many problems
I have several Anker and "unbranded" wireless chargers. They have all worked great for several years. The only issue is some have been less reliable because of the camera bump. Apple's Leather case is not helping that matter. Anker has still be very reliable for me, even with the increased camera bump. Pretty much can never go wrong with Anker. But note, it will only charge at 7.5 (even their magnetic chargers) because they do not use MagSafe.
Ive checked out a few cases at amazon..that are compatible with magsafe as well as wireless charging found this

not sure which to go with. This is my first iphone so so much I dont know about what works and what doesnt, what is compatible and what isnt. I just know Id prefer to use wireless charging since whenever I would use the port to charge it it would always end up breaking after a while so time to try something new. I checked out anker's web site so many different wireless chargers not sure what to go with

All qi wireless chargers should work with any case as long as its not thicker than 5mm. However, I've found that without a MagSafe case, MagSafe charging is very unreliable and the magnetic pull is very weak. So if you get one of those cases, stick to a regular wireless charger, not MagSafe. If you get a stand wireless charger, try to find one with a shorter back because the camera bump on the 13 is significantly thicker and lower than previous models causing it to not lay flush with the charger.Ive checked out a few cases at amazon..that are compatible with magsafe as well as wireless charging found this

so when it comes to cases, its best to get one of those magsafe cases, the ones that have a big circle on the back of the case, that way we know for sure its magsafe compatible otherwise it wont work right?
Im using this one from Spigen. Magsafe is quite solid! Phone won’t move from the charger.

Mine doesn’t move at all. And i think i know why… It’s because i didn’t remove the little plastic that comes on the watch charger… Must be creating some sort of friction that stops the watch from going sideways

so basically in order to make magsafe work properly the case has to have that circle thing behind it, like the spigen case for instance? Is magsafe the best as far as charging, Ive looked around for those qi wireless charging info but havent been able to find much about it. When my brother got his iphone 12 from verizon they told him to use a charging mat
Yes if you want the phone to stay solid on the wireless magsafe charger you’ll have to get a magsafe compatible case. You could always use normal wireless qi charger but if you want the full 15watts you’ll have to get one that’s magsafe compatible. Magsafe logo should be on the box of the charger
yeah I think I will just go with magsafe..other than the spigen cases any other cases you recommend? I guess I Can look on amazon and look for cases that are magsafe compatible
