Anker Wireless Charger, PowerWave Stand

A versatile wireless phone charger

This wireless charger and stand is very versatile, compatible with newer iPhones, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones. Charging can be done with protective covers on.

Forget about using a traditional charger for your phone when you get your hands on this Anker wireless charger and stand. No more worries about your cord reaching or starting to fray with this convenient, practical charger.

The stand has universal compatibility and works on iPhone models 8 and newer. It also works with Samsung on models S6 Edge, Note 7 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and 3XL, and all other Qi-enabled phones and devices.

Charging a Samsung model also requires a Quick Charge charger and iPhones require a 5V 2A charger, neither of which are not included. However, a 3-foot micro USB cable is included.

This charger is particularly effective for Samsung phones, charging at faster speeds than competing chargers and saving you up to 30 minutes in time spent charging.

We love that this charger is effective even with a protective case on your phone. No more removing the cover to place your phone on a charging stand. Just drop it on and you're good, as long as it's a rubber or plastic case less than 5 mm in thickness.

You can also charge your phone in either the portrait or landscape positions, allowing you to continue to use it as it charges.

Key Features

  • Universal compatibility
  • Charges in landscape or portrait mode
  • Charges through most protective cases

Yootech Wireless Charger 2 Pack

Two is better than one

This Yootech wireless charger is everything you want in a device––and you get two of them. It is compatible with most phones and can charge both in either horizontal or vertical positions.

You can never seem to have enough chargers for your phone. Your charger is at home, but you need one at the office as well. Your phone is running low, but your daughter is using the charger right now. Yootech has the solution, with this versatile two-pack of wireless chargers.

The stands can handle most commonly owned brands, including iPhone 8 and newer models, Galaxy S6 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Google Nexus 4 and newer, and Microsoft Luna 950 and 950XL.

They include a Type-C charging port, and two sets of two different cables, to fit a variety of phones. There is a USB-C to USB-A cable, as well as a USB-C to USB-C cable.

The chargers will work most protective covers, unless your case has metal or magnetic parts. Most all others will work, as long as they are not thicker than 4 millimeters.

Charging can also be done in both portrait and landscape modes, allowing you to continue to use them during the charging process.

We also like how they are sleep friendly, with the LED light turning off once charging begins and the phone is not in use.

Key Features

  • Works with all Qi-enabled phones
  • Built-in temperature and surge protection
  • Can charge with rubber/plastic case on

Seneo 3 in 1 Wireless Charging Station

Triple your charging ability

Seneo has made a convenient 3-in-1 charging station that allows you to charge your AirPods, Apple Watch and phone at the same time. Eliminate all the cords and replace them with just one.

Just because you have a lot of Apple products doesn't mean you need a lot of separate chargers. This 3-in-1 device from Seneo is a convenient item to charge, your phone, watch and AirPods all in one location.

This device has a separate charging station for an Apple Watch, models 2, 3, 4 or 5, and for AirPod Pro models 1 and 2. A third piece will charge an Apple iPhone, from the 8 and 8s to anything newer. It will also work on newer models of Samsung Galaxy phones, Google, Nokia and other models.

All three connect with a single cord, eliminating the need for countless cords plugged into your wall outlets. The charging cords for the watch and AirPods are hidden from view, tucked away in a compartment under the stand. Not only do you get the convenience of all three items charging together, you eliminate the ugly wires and clutter.

We love the convenience of having all three charging ports together, but we also like the phone charger can be separated to use on its own.

For the AirPod charger, a lightning to USB cable pre-installed. Plus, the watch charger automatically puts your watch into nighttime mode, so you can use it on your nightstand as an alarm.

Key Features

  • Charges multiple brands of phones
  • AirPod and Apple watch charger can be separated
  • Vertical and horizontal charging of phone
