I preferred the previous version with the square base but that was untested for watch 5 and didn’t charge it consistently.
This one feels cheap and the phone doesn’t sit and stay in the position it should.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Concept, Missed on Execution

I was very excited to purchase this product, however it soon became evident that I had to remove the protective cover on my phone in order to it to seat properly for charging. This product would have hit a home run if there was some adjustment up or down to accommodate covers for watches.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, Chris7127,
It could be that the phone case is too thick. Our wireless chargers are engineered to work with lightweight plastic cases up to 3mm (not compatible with metal cases). Thick cases will prevent the charging coils inside the phone and the charger to communicate and will not charge.
Get in touch with us at BelkinCares@belkin.com so we can discuss this further. Include a link to this post as our reference along with your contact information.
I use a iPhone 11 Pro. With a leather case. It seems to not charge efficiently with case on. Same with watch. Plastic case
But with watch it chargers much better without case.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi,
The Belkin F8J235 is engineered to work with most lightweight plastic cases up to 3mm (not compatible with metal cases). Removing the cases on the devices may help you check if the same concern appears and update us then over email at BelkinCares@belkin.com so we can have it checked with Product Experts. Send along with your contact info and the link of this review, for our reference.
Regards,

Just received and charged. No problems. I love that it charges through my Spingen case. So simple to grab in the morning instead of unplugging. Thank you!
The first I bought the charger of Belkin and it’s pretty good product
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Very Expensive Cell Phone Warmer!

A very Expensive Cell Phone Warmer! You know what to buy for your cell phone if it gets cold at night. I guess I had too much trust in Belkin products because I throw away the box from the charger right away. I wish I had not done it and I could send it back. It takes forever to charge. It reminds me of chargers in the 90s. Don't waste your money - use your old, trustworthy cable. I know this thing looks fancy, but give a few years to the developers to improve their technology.

Hi, SashaH,
The Belkin Wireless Charging Dock offers additional safety protocols built into the circuitry. These advanced chipsets will shut down if they detect excessive heat to protect you and your devices. You can try to remove the phone case and force close all applications running in the background for isolation.
For further assistance, you can reach out to us at BelkinCares@belkin.com with the link to this review for our reference.
Charges through Lifeproof Case FRE & NEXT. Charges slower than I thought. I keep my phone on audibles main page while at work to pause when someone walks in my office. IT charges very slowly while the phone is in use and gets warm, but not so warm that the phone overheats.
