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.
Got tired of waiting for AirPower so this cheap imitation will have to do for now. Working well so far with my Max and Series 4

Used this one with the X and now the XS Max. Works perfectly and allows me to use Sleep Cycle App though the night and wake up with a fully charged battery.
I have two of them at home and going to get a 3rd for work. I just don't see the point in paying ££££'s for branded ones like Logitech, Belkin etc. These ones work just 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
Got this charger. Charges faster than my Samsung rapid charging puck. Best charger I have owned yet.

Anyone have experience with this- https://www.hypershop.com/products/hyperjuice-7-5w-wireless-car-charger
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?

Yeah. But, like I said (if you read what I said) the Pixel charger has proprietary tech in it. So it may not work best with iPhones.
Read my post.
I don’t think there is a best. $5 or $50, they just work if you have the right power supply.
I bought another wireless rav power charger. In total I have three. One blinks green. Other orange. Why
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.
I'm not in dire need to buy one. I just don't enjoy the pad when I do need to charge my phone at my computer.
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.
