MagSafe Charging Station Pick (Belkin or Anker)

[kToni73]

Hey, I am looking to move away from all of the cables & adapters on my table. Thinking about getting a first charging station, just not sure which one between these 2. Both are certified & sold by Apple. Price is same too, but if anyone has any experience with either I'd appreciate it!

Cheers

Belkin cause all of Ankers stuff looks like someone who just got a 3D printer.

No way. Anker has good looking products.

Belkin would be my choice.

Literally one of the ugliest accessories I’ve seen

Or this abomination

I think it's exclusive to Apple Store 🤷‍♂️

I’d go with the belkin if portability is not a criteria

Belkin 100%

Listened to everyone and went with Belkin. I got it delivered the very next day actually and it is quite neat! Feels awesome to charge 3 Devices on 1 station 😮‍💨

I recently got the Belkin 3-1 also and my only gripe about it is how freely the stand moves on my desk. Needs rubber feet

Agreed but they sell little rubber nubs from companies like 3M which help if folks want them I guess.

Anyone have any thoughts on this one? Looks like all I have to do is use the Mag Safe charger and it will charge all 3 devices.

Looks great. I'm not sure about the charging speeds, but mophie looks much more stable than the Belkin one I've got. My Watch just spins around on the charger and it can be really annoying 🤦‍♂️

How are you feeling about your choice? I've decided to finally get a dock (so tired of so many cables) and want to most likely get something directly from Apple.

Are you happy with the Belkin, any issues?

I feel you man. Got sick of the Cables and decided to get one. Also didn't want a third party one, but this was certified and sold by Apple so I figured it's decent.
It works great, but the only thing I dislike about it is that my Watch spins on that magnet easily. If I wiggle my table a little bit, chances are it's gonna spin down and if I leave my band on it it will also miss-balance the watch and spin it around.

Other than that, I love it. 8/10

I love my Satechi iPhone and AirPods charger because that works and looks elegant!
and compliments the BT house and MacBook Air stand as well!
