Wanted to like this, but...
Received the first one. All appeared to be great, until I determined that the underside USB port for the Apple watch charger did not work. Cable was verified as good. Tried reseating the plug multiple times. No change. I returned it and requested another. Upon setup of the 2nd one, I found it to have the same problem. The base and phone pad both worked, but not the USB port for the Apple watch charger. That's 2 units with a bad USB port. No good.

5-in-1 convenience **if your phone is MagSafe ready**
I had to get this to replace a similar device that supported wireless charging in a stand without the magnet part. Wireless chargers can be fickle, you have to get your phone into the sweet spot and then hope nothing bumps it. This one supports the MagSafe charging in recent iPhones (I can't speak for other phones with Qi charging) which means that the magnet grabs your phone right into the sweet spot for solid wireless charging. But - I can't stress this enough - you must have a case that's MagSafe compatible!!! In most cases that means your case has a weird white circle on the back. My iPhone 13 Pro has a Spigen MagSafe compatible case with the big circle on the back and it works perfectly with this stand. If I remove the case, and put the naked phone on this stand, it holds so strongly I need to hold the base down to get the phone back off. My wife's phone has a fashionable case with a ring thing stuck on the back so her phone cannot work with this at all. If your case doesn't have the magnet circle, and if it's not so paper thin that you could stick it to your fridge with a simple magnet, then get a new case if you want to use a charging stand like this.I keep this on my nightstand next to my bed and I love the all-in-one functionality. At the end the day, I'm tired and ready for bed but all my stuff needs to be charged - my phone, my watch and my AirPods. Plus, my nightstand is where I need to charge my Kindle occasionally. There's only two plug outlets, and one is taken by the lamp. I could use a multiport charger and try to wrangle 3 or 4 wires, but this charging station is way more convenient. The phone and watch snap into place magnetically, the AirPods settle into a little divot that's precisely shaped for the AirPods Pro, and there's an additional usb outlet on the back for my Kindle charger, plus it has a light to turn on so I can see to plug in my Kindle since that's the only wired connection. The watch requires my own watch charger, since that's proprietary Apple, but it clips and gets fully stored inside the base, which both types of USB connections in there in case Apple starts making those chargers USB-C only too.The whole thing folds up for travel, so in a hotel I can plug just one wire into the outlet on the nightstand and get all my stuff charged without having to untangle wires.The power supply that comes with it is powerful enough get all 4 devices (iPhone 13 Pro, Apple Watch SE, AirPods Pro and Kindle Paperwhite) to show they are charging. I'm not sure how fast they're charging, but I use this overnight so that's not important.The only thing I don't like is the switch to turn on the lamp is a very bright LED. It doesn't seem that bright until you turn off the lights to go to bed and it's bright enough to project on the ceiling. I just improvised a solution of propping my Kindle over it to shade the light, but I'm thinking a little sliver of electrical tape will take care of this (and it won't be the first time I've had to do it)

The night light feature is awesome!
It works as it's supposed to but as for how long.... time will tell. The set up is not very intuitive and the instructions weren't much help. I felt like I was going to break the plastic bottom while trying to remove it so that I could route my watch charger into place. Once I did finally get it set up it charged everything fine. It even charged my phone through its case. It is a very thin phone case but usually with the wireless charger in my car I have to remove it so that was a nice discovery. I actually ended up liking the night light feature a lot more than I thought I would. The two different brightness modes are really nice. Additionally, in the listing photos it shows that the station is shiny plastic but in reality it is matte black which I actually prefer more than shiny plastic so that wasn't a big deal.While the charging station itself feels sort of cheap and plastic, it does work surprisingly well and has features that my other charging station does not so I appreciate that.

Strong magnet, big footprint, great nightlight
I’m pretty happy with this overall, but I find myself continuing to just use the regular MagSafe charger for my phone. Maybe I’ll break the habit…Pros: The magnetic pad holding the phone is very strong, which is great! My phone feels very secure. I do like that the AirPod charging spot is set in slightly so it’s very clear where to place it. I also like the nightlight. The touch button is set aside so low risk of bumping it, and there’s a slight blue illumination so it’s easy to find. Two settings (low and bright) and the color temperature is nice and warm.Cons: The design is a bit plain and the footprint seems larger than it needs to be, so I’m not sure it’s saving me a lot of space on my nightstand. There is a routing path under the stand for the MagSafe Apple Watch cable—personally I didn’t bother. A second cable isn’t a big deal and I take my Apple Watch cable when I travel, so I’d rather not deal with loading it in and out from the stand.

Love love love
I absolutely looooove this charger. It charges my phone and watch fairly quickly and the handle shits up and don’t for different view if using your phone while on charger. 1 thing to note. I have an Apple Watch SE and the charger for that is a USB-C. Which this charger doesn’t support on the back. You have to plug in your watch charger to the back of this then place it in the watch charger hole. I had to purchase an Apple Watch charger with USB cord so that this charger could support it. Other than that it’s perfect.
