Make your own? When I had my Lumia I put a puck in the back of a faux leather business card holder (which worked as a phone stand) and so I had wireless charging stand that looked how I wanted
Anyone know when the RavPower stand will be released? I've emailed the company with no luck at a response.

Wait, this is amazing and I need this now! Keep us in the loop please if you hear anything from them!
I purchased a few Nokia DT-900 wireless chargers which had been my favorite to use with Android phones. They work great with the iPhone X. The only issue is that I just installed a clear skin (BestSkinsEver) on the back of the X and the Nokia logo leaves an indentation in the skin because it is slightly raised on the charger.
So in addition to seeking to unload the Nokia charger, I am not looking for a wireless charging pad that either has no logo or, at the very least, is entirely flat so that it doesn't interfere with the look of the skin. Any recommendations?

Got the Samsung fast charger on Amazon and it works fine (waiting Apple update). Seemed like a good deal for a name brand. I am retired so I spend a lot of time at home. Easy to put it on the charger anytime, it you are going to set it down, might as well charge at the same time! No hassles with cords. Not worried about speed, parking it on the charger keeps it above 80%. I can see where an upright charger would be better at a work desk.
Seems the code isn’t working. Anyone got another 40% off code
Edit:Seems the code works but it’s one use per amazon account. I got one and decided to get more and wouldn’t take it the second time around but worked for someone else.

I have one of each. I use Spigen's stand at night and RAVPower's pad during the day. The stand is nice if you want to look at or use your iPhone while it's charging. That pad is good for everything else. If you get both you'll have the best of both worlds.
I’ve emailed them as well and so far unable to find it either.
In case anyone is wondering the $49.99 RAVPower Wireless Charging DOES work with an Otterbox defender on an iPhone X
Got my RAVpower today in the mail, used the coupon code for it. Only used it once so far and seems to work as expected. Only thing I'm noticing is the wall adapter is a bit warm even when the pad isn't in use (just sitting on desk plugged in).

I was told not to worry, the charger switches over to a trickle charge. The phone isn't warm in the morning, so I am assuming its not charging all night, otherwise it would be warm to the touch.
I tried both and kept Ravpower because the phone stays cooler while charging slightly faster.
Have ordered this Qi Wireless Charger for iPhone X from AliExpress
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Bas...e8d4df34-6fad-4921-b215-59d457ef38dd#feedback
FYI, that Baseus one mentioned above is available on Amazon prime for a few bucks more: https://www.amazon.com/Baseus-Wirel...words=Baseus+Qi+Wireless+Charger+For+iPhone+X. Should arrive faster than if you were to order from Aliexpress.

any photo's of the Ravpower? Also how big is it? How much faster/slower is it then the mophie? Very tempting with the code and brings it $30 bucks or so
