Stand One Max - Carbide | Qi2 | 3rd Gen

Stand One Mac 5-Stars

About My Purchase:

I purchased this stand because when I place my phone on my old Nomad Charging Mat, I'm always unsure if it is actually charging (yes it beeps but without visual confirmation, I am a little 'spicious). I also don't have enough room to charge my iPhone, Watch, and AirPods.

Pros: I like the Stand way better than the Mat and the option to easily charge my Apple Watch and Airpods at the same time along with my phone is great.

Cons: The magnetic point is very, very touchy. This means you have to attach the phone just-so or it won't magnetize properly. In addition, the charging point is also very, very touchy meaning you think you're charging (the battery charge symbol will appear) but at times it will not charge if it is slightly askew. I also suspect that the USB cable connection from the cable to the back of the device is very particular about the angle. This could be a flaw with the cable or with the unit itself, I am unsure.

TL;DR: Two steps forward, one step back. I will give 4 stars but I honestly feel ~3.5 stars. I'm a longtime Nomad user (cases, the aforementioned charging mat) before this but I'm a little disappointed given overall performance at the price point.

Really good!
