I received the Satechi 2 in 1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand this last weekend and I thought I'd post some pics and my impressions.

It's a solid charger. It is NOT "Magsafe." It charges the phone at 15W max (CORRECTION: 7.5W max. 15W is stated in the documentation, but 7.5W on the website.) and the AirPods at 5W. It comes with a USB-C cable that is only about 3 feet long. I'll be getting a 6 ft from Amazon so that it can sit on my desk better and I can hid the cord. Documentation states that it requires an 18W charging brick at minimum. I got the Aukey 20W cube and it seems to be doing just fine. This charger works only with the iPhone 12 line of phones.

I have my iPhone 12 Pro in a Latercase...so it's really thin. The charger holds the phone decently and I can easily rotate the phone from portrait to landscape. Move it too much and it will fall off the magnet. The magnet is better without a case on. I have not yet been able to test it with my Apple Silicone Case to see if it connects better to an official Magsafe case. I would assume so as it connects to the phone better than with the Latercase on it. I'm not so sure how well the magnet will hold phones in cases other than Magsafe approved or very thin cases.

My AirPods Pro fit well in the slot...it's made for an AirPods Pro case. That should also fit regular AirPods as well.

Overall I like the look and it does its job. It's also not $100 or more (Belkin). I got this for $49 on their pre-order. They are still running at 20% off coupon on their site for "pre-order." (The code is MAGNETIC.)

It does NOT charge the iPhone at 15W but only at 7.5W, precisely because it‘s not really a Magsafe charger.

That's what the documentation says. Just quoting from there.

Looking at the website, it does state 7.5W. Sorry for the mixup.
