I did the same. But it was bloody expensive at $59.99 plus 8.9% sales tax in the apple store.
I need one more and considering something else.
Got a tip for us?

Looking for one as well with Apple Watch Mount for charger or a Qi charger for Series 3 ? Would love to get something setup for that if there is one out there.
Agreed. The price has kept me from buying a second one for the office. For now I’ll make due with just the lightning cable at the office.
No its one of the older ones I think. Although they've probably all got the same circuitry inside them from the same factory.

This QI charger from Spigen just arrived
Its the Spigen Essential F301W Universal Ultra Slim Fast Wireless Charging Pad. Perfect size for me as I use it on the bedside table. Not fully tested its charging speeds but as it's used for a overnight charger it's not really that important to me.
Looks good. I charge my phone over night as well. I got this one, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MUDQZDD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And ordering a extra one (pad this time). I should have ordered the one you have in addition to the stand but I was too late (like I was with the Anker) and they were gone.

That one (like Anker and Spigen pads) is currently unavailable. They might be getting hit with iPhone X owners hence the unavailability of certain wireless chargers.
It shows as coming soon on their website? Where did you get it?This QI charger from Spigen just arrived

I got it from Mobile Fun in the UK but looks like they are sold out now.

Purchased a Samsung Wireless Fast Charger Model EP-PN920 and its going back. It never changes LED status to green once the phone is fully charged. I've tried leaving it sit after full charge for 30 minutes and no change, it stays blue like its charging still.
I wonder if Belkin and Mohpie will make a stand. Iwould really prefer a stand to a mat.
Mine does the same thing. I wonder if it’s because Samsung has something special built into their phones to tell the charger when they are done?
The question becomes (for me) Belkin or Morphie from the Apple Store today? They are the same price. One is white, one is black. Fundamentally, aren’t they the same thing?
I think this is a common problem with all chargers. My Samsung one does this and people complain RavPower does as well. Hopefully apple will update how the phone says it’s done.
I just picked up the mophie from Apple. I’ll let you know how bright the led is. Supposedly it’s dim.
can't you just check if its fully charged? for me the light stays constant blue on and that looks like it says its fully charged.
the green is probably for samsung only.
So this is probably super grainy since I use my iPad Pro, but here is the Mophie with the X charging on it. The light is ridiculously dim. It just looks a bit bright in the picture.
In all honesty, it is maybe 1/8th of the brightness of the Samsung charger I just returned.
According to Mophie, yes. Because it is required of the qi standard.
Currently my phone is at 88% so I can’t tell you if it changes color or not, but my guess is no.
That's what I'm thinking too - the green is for Samsung devices only. This charger wasn't built for iPhone compatibility, so it likely isn't receiving some sort of communication from the iPhone that charging is done. Definitely not a reason I would take it back, if it charges as advertised.
Less expensive then the two you mentioned but I got Spigen's stand. I use it to charge my X over night and it works very well. I also ordered Tech Matte's pad but then I saw the Rav pad people were mentioning here. It had great reviews so I cancelled Tech Matte's pad and getting Rav's for a second charger.

This Samsung Fast Charge charger is really great, and it will support 7.5. I highly recommend it.
