The Anker PowerWave 7.5 Wireless Charging Stand can charge your iPhone 8 or newer through thick cases without any wires.
If you have an iPhone 8 or newer, you owe it to yourself to get a great wireless charger, so why not get one that doubles as an iPhone dock? The Anker PowerWave 7.5 Watt Charging Stand is the perfect dock for the new iPhones because you don't have to plug your phone into it every time you want to juice up.
Once you've plugged the PowerWave Stand into an outlet with the included Quick Charge 3.0 AC adapter Anker's great PowerLine Micro USB Cable, all you have to do is set your iPhone on the stand, and it will start charging. The small circle on the front of the stand lights up blue when it's charging, so you know it's working. It feels like magic when you use it for the first time.
I use the PowerWave stand at my desk in the office every day to top off my phone before I head home. I love the simple white design, its slim profile, and how sturdy it is. The stand holds your phone at the perfect angle for easy viewing, and you can position your phone vertically or horizontally, and it'll keep charging.
The best part about this wireless charging iPhone dock is that it works with thick cases, which is something that wireless chargers traditionally struggle with.
In my experience, the PowerWave stand can charge an iPhone XS that's wearing a leather case and a PopSocket with no problem, which is incredibly impressive. I haven't been able to charge through the case and PopSocket with any other wireless charger I've tested.
If you're worried about safety, don't be. Anker says that the PowerWave stand has several safety features, including "over-charge protection, foreign object detection, and radiation shielding."
Buyer reviews for both products are very positive on Amazon. The stand has a 4.5-star average, as does the pad.
Pros: Affordable, small, charges fast with right adapter, works with all Qi compatible devices
Cons: Outlet adapter not included, may not charge when case is on
