If you were to walk around my house, you’d see a Nomad wireless charger in almost every room. Each item is elegant, made with premium materials, and safely and efficiently charges my mobile devices. I was recently sent the new Nomad Stand One Max to test; by the end of this review, you’ll understand why it is my favorite Nomad wireless charger so far.
By adopting USB-C across its product line, Apple has finally made strides toward universalizing its approach to charging. Sadly, they still fall short, and because the Apple Watch can only be charged wirelessly, that will remain the case. Thankfully, Nomad just introduced its new Nomad 65W AC Power Adapter Apple Watch Edition. Its unique design means one less cable to carry (or forget) the next time you travel.
I often wax poetic about Nomad’s wireless chargers. They are elegant, thoughtfully crafted from premium materials, and charge devices rapidly. I recently reviewed the Base One Max. It’s fantastic, but the newly announced Nomad Stand One Max MagSafe Charger will be an even better solution if you are looking for a desktop or nightstand charger, thanks to the verticle design that keeps your phone in view and within reach.
First, Nomad released the Base One MagSafe wireless charger. It was a gorgeous combination of glass and metal. Then, they released the Base One Max, which added wireless charging for the Apple Watch. Now, there’s the Nomad Base One Max 3-in-1 MagSafe Charger; if you are all-in with Apple’s ecosystem, this is the charger you have been waiting for.
I’ve long been on the hunt for the “perfect” bedside charger. “Perfect” means something different for each person, but for me, it means a MagSafe wireless charger for my iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods with the smallest footprint possible; the Twelve South HiRise 3 Wireless Charging Stand ticks all those boxes. Let’s take a closer look.
I have a number of excellent true wireless earbuds (TWE) from which to choose, but my daily driver is the AirPod Pro earbuds. I recently upgraded to the second-generation version of Apple’s TWE; they are less revolutionary and more evolutionary in features, but I like the improvements and am enjoying them, and I’m thrilled to have them protected by the new Nomad Modern Leather Case for 2nd Gen AirPods Pro.
Anker was founded in 2011; since then, the company has become a powerhouse in the mobile accessory market and the world’s number one charging brand. We included a number of their new offerings in our 2021 Holiday Gift Guide, but I wanted to dig deeper into the Anker 633 Magnetic Wireless Charger (MagGo), a 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Station.
With all of the technology we carry around in our pockets or on our wrists these days, we need a way to keep them all juiced up and ready to go when we wake up in the morning. This is why I wanted to check out the INTELLI StepUp Magnetic Wireless Charging Station.
Some time ago, I reviewed Twelve South’s PowerPic. A traditional wooden frame that doubles as a Qi wireless charger, it’s rather inspired. Now the company has released their new Twelve South PowerPic mod Wireless Charger. It is an elegant lucite frame for a 4″ by 6″ picture that hides a secret; it is also a 10W Qi charger.
When I purchased my iPhone 12 Pro Max back in 2020, one of the highlighted features was the MagSafe Charging. I went out of my way to purchase Apple’s charging puck for it at an astounding $39, but unfortunately, the lack of a dock option made it less useful than I had hoped. To the rescue came the Belkin MagSafe 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with MagSafe 15W Charging.
Okay, now before you all immediately start discussing price, let me say this: the AirPods Max are absolutely expensive and the only reason you should get them if you truly want them. This review is not here to praise or condemn them, but instead to tell you about one of the few products that actually made them worth my $549 — the WaterField AirPods Max Shield Case.
You’ll likely get at least one gift this holiday season that needs to be charged. Unfortunately, companies like Apple no longer include wall adapters with their phones. Thankfully, Aukey offers a range of smart, technologically advanced charging solutions. You can see all their offerings here. First, though, take a look at the four offerings they sent us to check out.
As someone who likes to multitask and carry more than she probably should, having wireless Bluetooth headphones is a requirement for me. However, when Apple announced the high price tag on the AirPods Pro, I wasn’t completely sold. Was the increase in price worth the upgraded features? I decided to get a pair to put them to the test.
If you have a pair of Airpod Pros, you know that white case can get dinged up in your pocket or bag easily. So why not protect your $250 investment with a case from one of the most reputable case makers today, Nomad?
Looking for protection for your new AirPod Pros? Well, there’s no better way of getting that than with the Nomad Rugged Case.
A few weeks ago, I shared the news that our friends at Nomad had released a new wireless charging stand. The Nomad Base Station Stand is a premium wireless charger whose thoughtful design and premium features make it stand out in an ever-more crowded market. Now that I have one in and I can share some of my personal impressions.
Last year it seemed as if Nomad was releasing a new product every week or two. In fact, over the last two or three years, the company’s catalog has exploded in size with amazing, premium mobile device accessories. Their first new release of 2020 is the Nomad Base Station Stand; it looks great and is definitely worth checking out.
Catalyst is mostly known for its protective but stylish cases for smartphones, tablets and yes, even AirPods. So it’s no surprise at CES 2020 the brand introduces five case styles for the first and second generation of the AirPods, and three designs for the newer AirPods Pro.
The other day I reviewed mophie’s 3-in-1 charging pad. It’s ideal for someone who has an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPod’s with a wireless charging case. I have an iPhone. I have an Apple Watch. But I don’t have AirPods. Mophie’s dual wireless charging pad isn’t specifically designed for AirPods so, for me, it is a better option.
Mophie was one of the first companies to offer battery cases for the iPhone and other mobile devices. In the years since, mophie has emerged as one of the premier mobile device accessory companies. Now, with wireless charging becoming ubiquitous, mophie is adding new wireless charging devices to their catalog. The mophie 3-in-1 wireless charging pad is one such accessory.
If you have AirPods or intend to get a pair, you should really invest in a case that will protect not only the pods themselves but the case that holds them from sustaining hairline scratches. There’s one case I’ve been using the past few weeks that have surprised me, and I think you should check out. Introducing the CarryOn by intelliARMOR, a hand-crafted leather case designed for the Apple AirPods. Available in three colors: black, brown and camel, each of the clips comes complete with a handy metal clip that is great for attaching your keys, maybe a Tile item…
