I am going to wait a few months before buying anything. I think any Qi charger will work but you will not get fast charge.
 
Air power looks good but is anybody getting one to keep them going until then?

Think a wireless charger that you can use as a stand is what i will look for.

I've got this one sitting next to my keyboard right now - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KJL4XNY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - waiting for my preordered iPhone 8+ to arrive sometime within the next week.

And I've got this one on its way via UPS today https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3XH3KQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - to sit next to my bed for overnight charging.

Bought the first one, and it was £2 cheaper a few days ago....

I grabbed three of these last week hoping that they'll be suitable. Price has gone up a few dollars since I ordered, but with 3 coils I'm thinking they'll be forgiving on exact placement and they were certainly economical. I plan to use them with Apple's 12W power supplies.

That one will work just fine. You can throw the phone on it in pretty much any direction and it hits a coil. Using it in my car for my 7+

Never bought a Qi chager before, but I’m in the market, some my iPhone 8 arrives tomorrow. I’d really like one to be a pad (not a stand), black, and thin. I don’t even know what brand to trust. Recommendations?

I bought the mophie pad from the apple store at West Edmonton Mall yesterday and it works great, even with a case on. And yes, it’s black
 
Every single one that I have seen is nothing short of an embarrassment to design. The only one that looks good is of course Apple’s which I’ll have to wait well into 2018 for.
 
Bookmarked the black one! It looks really nice! Any recommendations for a white one? I prefer white if it looks sleek enough to match the other cables/macbook chargers.
