The BoostCharge Pro 2-in-1 Dock is Belkin's Best Charger Yet

Looks really elegant! I’m in the market for one of these and was eyeing Nomad’s Stand One which has been out of stock for quite a while, so I might get this one once the reviews are good.

It's fantastic, I now have 3

Appreciate the review, but, that price point.
And then not to forget that Belkin has a history of not updating firmware and devices failing after a year or so.
For me, Belkin is a non-starter

Best Apple charger out there, by far.
I bought 2 more after the first one
 
I love the color and shape, but I’ll stick with my white 3-in-1.

such a nice design and love charging my Watch, AirPods and iPhone all at once.

Commenting for anyone considering a stand for StandBy and are using an iPhone X, 11, or have mask mode enabled on any FaceID iPhone:
Standby is almost useless if you want to interact with it since it will always try FaceID (and fail) then ask for your passcode every time you want to turn a light off or play a podcast. Apple hasn’t added support to disable FaceID for StandBy yet.

Stand by only works properly on iPhones with always on display (turned on) which is one of the main reasons I've upgraded from 13 pr to 15 pro

Are there many MagSafe charging stands that don’t charge the watch, as well? The pictures do show charging the AirPods case on the Watch portion, so I guess that’s a perk.

The problem is that I charge my daytime watch next to my bed, but I make the deliberate choice to charge my iPhone in another room so I don’t check my phone first thing in the morning and end up spending all day scrolling. The standby mode is still somewhat useful, though, because it allows me to get some at-a-glance info when I walk into the other room and check on my phone. This stand is more than I’d want to pay, but it would be nice to free up one of my two USB-C cables that I use for my iPhone and AirPods Pro nearly nightly.

Get 2, I did 😊

I bought this as I only needed something for my phone and watch and I quite like it. Most of the ones I found were not quite right as they had arms, too vertical etc. This is compact enough to fit on the night stand, heavy so it won't tip over, nice color and I haven't experienced the fuzziness the author mentioned. The price was negligible to me though it seems to be quite the obstacle to others on the forum.

It's not negligible, however you get what you pay for and me personally....I can't afford cheap!
I've got 2 of these, BRILLIANT 🤩

It still doesn’t work properly with mask mode on since it disables landscape FaceID. It’s fine on iPhones that don’t have AOD or for users who turn AOD off, but again, only if mask mode is off.
 
Would it be right to assume that since this uses USB-C, you can plug it into a MacBook and achieve 15W output?

Would be a perfect desk setup having a MacBook running to a Monitor (Receiving Power) while this charging station charges devices in essentially a 2-Cable solution

Nothing will touch this for a long while.
QI is rubbish, this is proper MagSafe and a fast watch charger as well.
Aesthetically looks fantastic as well.
Me and my partner have 3 between us, trust me they are worth every cent 😊

Qi2 is identical to MagSafe. No ones officially released a device yet though. I have that anker cube thing right now that I got on a great sale in October. Basically the same
 
Does anyone know which StandBy widgets are being used in those images? They are very nice.

Terrible design, in my opinion. Their 3-in-1 chargers are more practical.

Works great, perfect size, excellent purchase.

I can't wait for hopefully cheaper qi 2 devices... I remember buying my first qi pad for $7. this $130 being normal thing had gotten crazy

Also the money paid for official Made For Magsafe units are basically useless since the charging speeds were on par with normal qi1 7.5w. Although Apple claims it is 15w, it slows down because of overheating

once i favored the Anker cube, but this looked even better
 
Gengar said:
I think the Anker Cube is a better purchase than this one for the money, since it’s a similar size and can charge the watch, AirPods, and iPhone.

I agree with you and not sure why you would purchase the Belkin or of the Anker Cube. I travel with the Anker Cube all the time and works great! Anker Cube is true 3/1, as sometime I do charge my Airpods when my iPhone and Watch are charging.

It the Belkin any smaller that it would make a difference?

If anyone looking for something similar and on sale often, look at the Anker Cube. I have one and its fantastic and 3 in 1.
