This Wireless Charger Also Acts as a Useful Kickstand for Your iPhone

TL;DR: The Belkin BoostCharge Pro wireless charger pad is a minimal solution to your charging needs. With the power of MagSafe, it's also convenient to use with your iPhone, allowing you to attach and detach it with ease. The cherry on top? The built-in kickstand, which lets you prop your phone in landscape mode for when you want to charge it and watch your favorite content at the same time.

Ever since MagSafe was introduced with the iPhone 12 lineup, people using the latest iPhones have had the ability to wirelessly charge their phones with nifty MagSafe chargers, which use a series of magnets to keep your phone and charger connected securely. But the traditional Apple MagSafe puck can be very limiting.

But Belkin's take on the magnetic puck provides some relief in the form of a built-in kickstand. Right now, you can get it on Amazon Singapore for just S$35.98 (US$26.54).

Being MFi-certified, you can use the Belkin wireless charger pad knowing it's not going to damage your iPhone's precious battery health. At the same time, you can enjoy 15W fast wireless charging, ensuring your iPhone is up to 100 percent in a relatively short amount of time.

In some ways, despite being a third-party accessory, the charging pad is perhaps a better product than Apple's own MagSafe charging puck, due to its high-quality braided cable, as well as the smart integration of its kickstand. However, where it falls short is thickness – the difference between Belkin and Apple's offerings is definitely visible, with the official Apple MagSafe puck being a lot thinner and more 'out of the way'. This is probably relevant to people who prefer laying their iPhones flat on the table when charging.

Regardless, it's quite hard to fault this wireless charging pad. It's made of premium materials, and its kickstand is sturdy enough to withstand a few hard taps and knocks. But most importantly, it was built from the ground up to be MagSafe compatible.
