I've got the Mophie one and been fine for me. It's an overnight charger so is fine for speed. Fixed plug specific to the charger though so need a spare wall socket.

It's cheaper than when first come out as well now, it's smaller than the Belkin one as well.

I was at Best Buy today and saw the Google Pixel Stand. It's very nice, the color is white with a soft rubbery finish. There's no branding on the outside, it looks like made by Apple. The cost is $79.99 and I'm thinking of getting one for my iPhone XS.

Pixel has proprietary charging tech though has may not work best with iPhones.

The google charger will work fine, you just won’t have the extra features that the pixel provides - basically turning it into a Google Home when charging
 
Yep, got the iOttie one too and I can fully recommend it.
I also got the Logitech Powered... both are excellent.
 
Anyone have a ravpower wireless. I got two. One charges with green light flashing. Other orange.

Based on what I read online. Green flashing is fast charging and orange is regular. Why would same charge model charge differently? Was there an older version of the charger?
 
Was looking at the Native Union wireless charger but the reports of airpower finally coming out is even better!
 
Can’t decide between a stand- or pad-style charger. Any limitations or pros and cons to one or the other?

I've been using docks my entire iPhone life up until the iPhone X where I got a pad. I thought since it's right at my computer, there's no problem since I just do everything on my computer anyway. But now, I absolutely hate it. I tap my phone to look at it and have to pick it up each time. if I get notifications, I have pick up my phone. If I want to do something really quick, I have t pick up my phone. With a dock, I do it and leave it where it is. Pad life is horrible.

Then why not go back to using a dock if the pad is not practical for you ?
 
I picked up a tzumi fast charger pad (10W) at bestbuy .... around $30 after $10 off.
Seems to work ok but I can't find much info about them.

Anyone else use this brand?

Are charger pads generally safe .... no fire hazard if they are plugged in all the time?

I think it comes down to where you are going to use it.... For example, I charge my phone overnight and my charger is on my night table... for this purpose I use a pad because I don't need to use the phone while laying in bed and I don't want it lighting up in my face...... Now I also keep a charger at work for those days where I am going out after work and need to juice up... in this case I have a dock style charger because I can quickly unlock and look at notifications while I am sitting at my desk.
