Have owned for a week and has been a mostly good performance from one of the few docks that can do a full 15W charging on iPhone 12 series.
However, few issues. 1) Despite a heavily rubberized base, if you pull at the magnetically attached phone instead of tipping up, the base will move. This is easily fixed if you use re-usable nano suction tape. Wish Belkin included a pad so that the mount wouldn't move.
2) The bottom Qi charger leaves my AirPod Pro case always warm. Despite having 100% charge (and not used for the last two days), I pickup the Airpods and they are warm. I hope this isn't putting any add'l charging strain or phantom wattage.
3) Base Size. While the circular base looks nice, a much small rectangle is a better use of desk real estate. Combine that with a nano suction pad, the space needed on a desk could be reduced by 1/3 with no performance loss or flexability.
4) Phone Angle: Wish the crossbar was adjustable to change the iPhone mounting angle. In addition to being a charger, use a dock as a FaceTime mount and the ability to change the angle for better framing and FaceID performance would be a plus.
I freaking LOVE this charger. It is so nice having one charger for all three of my devices. The phone on the magsafe arm, with options to rotate, is pure joy! The watch arm is nice as well, but a little precarious. My only minor gripe is the stand for the Airpods. There is a very slight indent for the airpods and when setting it on the stand you have to have it pretty well lined up with the indent. In the dark this is more difficult that it should be. But, overall i LOVE it!!!
Great concept and beautiful product. Problem is when using with the MagSafe case for iPhone that I have, the magnet is not strong enough and the phone falls off the stand. The only way I can use it is if I take the phone out of the case each time to charge. And that is not going to happen. This is a serious design flaw in my mind. Very unBelkin like.

Hi, BillyG,
Our Belkin WIZ009 can charge iPhone 12 series phones with MagSafe-approved cases of up to 3 mm in thickness, which you may need to check its thickness aside from checking if it is a MagSafe-approved case. Allow us to have this checked with our Product Experts by sharing this over email at BelkinCares@belkin.com with your contact info and the link of this review, for reference.
Apparently this does not work in a iPhone 11 Pro Max so there is that.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Brad,
Our Belkin 3-in-1 Wireless Charger with MagSafe is designed for iPhone 12 models only. It is not compatible with an iPhone 11 Pro Max. If you need further assistance, shoot us an email at BelkinCares@belkin.com with the link to this post, for our reference.
This finally meets my needs for a simple and effective method to charge my iphone and watch. Doesn't require any jiggling around and instantly centers and secure both devices to the charging stand.
