Hi all!

I'd like to share my thoughts on a Wireless Charger I picked up off Amazon called Grip.

Amazon - http://a.co/at5e4Mh
Price - $19.99 ($14.99 at time of purchase)
TLDR - So far so good! Worth the $$$

This is a QI wireless charger that works with most phones capable of receiving a wireless charge. I purchased mine specifically for the iPhone X. Wireless chargers can cost a fortune and the ones to be offered by Apple come with a hefty premium and no stand (that I know of).

Packaging

The packaging is complete garbage. What would you expect from a $19.99 wireless charging product? I'd rather have them dump their money into the product instead of packaging. This is OK in my books!

What you get

You get your wireless charging base and 2 USB -> Micro USB cables. One short and one long. This is how you plug it into your wall. WARNING - DOES NOT COME WITH A USB WALL ADAPTER. Be prepared to supply your own wall outlet.

The product

Material & Build:
The product itself has a very nice soft touch feel to it. The base feels a little weighted, which keeps the stand steady when removing your device or placing the device on.

Lighting: I'm only including this because it has a nifty light on the battery charge icon. When it is charging, it is a very dull red/pink. The icon is green when there is no phone on there, but is ready to provide a charge. I'd bet it turns green when the phone is at full charge.

Note - the stand itself doesn't "store" power - it just provides charge

That's about it! Simple, straightforward and works! Worth the $$$$$!
