With the new iPhones and faster MagSafe charging I got the new puck but it’s slimmer and smaller than the old one so my holder stand doesn’t fit it anymore, does anyone know of any stands that will fit the new one?
 
Wondering the same thing! Haven't been able to find any products marketed as "New Magsafe" stand
 
I'm also looking for a holder/stand/dock for the new Magsafe charger, but haven't found one yet. Manufacturers will have to tweak existing products accordingly.
 
so bad none of our stands now work, they didnt need to make it thiner
 
I used a small plastic disc and some super glue to make it fit in my old stand. Yes, I'll never be able to remove the puck from the stand again, but I doubt they'll change it again soon.
 
The new MagSafe pucks "fit" in the old holders but they are smaller in diameter, so you don't get a snug friction fit. So, the puck will come with the phone when you pick it up from the stand/holder. I added a little mounting tape to mine to hold it in.

I have the new magsafe 25w and ordered the UGreen stand which is for the original MagSafe 15w and it does seem to fit perfectly.

Yep I totally get what you’re saying but believe me this is a very snug fit and I’m pretty sure it’s not a model that’s designed for the new MagSafe puck

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with the Ugreen stand.

I went right ahead and ordered one - will provide an update when it arrives.

Looks nice. Too bad it does not have any space to charge the Apple Watch too though.
 
Manufacturers need to indicate in their product description if it fits gen 1 or gen 2 of the MagSafe charger.
 
Unfortunately, i didn't have a good experience with the UGreen stand - the one i received from Amazon was not compatible with the new charger. The charger did not sit firmly enough in it. The search continues... I had hoped there would be more options by now.
