Hello Guys,

Can someone pls suggest a charging stand? Somehow, I don't like the phone lying flat on my desk.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

I have this on my desk at work.
It's not a fast Charging stand but does it's job well and I prefer not to fast charge my devices if I can avoid it.
I only fast charge in a situation when I need to.

I tried one of the Samsung ones and it was absolutely terrible and eventually just stopped working.

I bought two of these for me and one as a present for my old man.
Mophie Wireless Charging Base

I concur, the Mophie is 100% the best of the group currently available today. It's smaller size, but solid build make it great. I got the Belkin fast charger and 3-4 others, and none perform as well as the Mophie.... it's the current winner in the "it just works" category. Now I'm in the market for a great powerbank that has Qi wireless charging built in. Seems a less clear frontrunner in that field.

I could have done without the "my old man" reference tho... I never know when people say that if they mean their dad or their husband. In reverse context, "my old lady" usually is a term people from poorly educated backgrounds use for their wife.... so it's confusing. Maybe "my husband" or "my father" would be better next time... :)

Well plenty of 30 year olds are married, so it could be your husband. It's not an age thing, it's a geographic\education thing. I spent a year in Minnesota and a coworker who was 23 always referred to "my old lady" referring to his wife. I never quite understood it, but he was from the sticks, so I always just assumed it was how he was raised to refer to "the wife" LOL. I always tease people when they say my old lady or my old man tho, just cause it's fun, hehe.
