This is a wonderful design charger. The charger is nice and small, but I was taken back that the part that you plug into the wall (charging block) is so big and bulky. A small charging device is wonderful but the charging block was not custom. Twelve South should have maybe contact Anker for a small charging block. I mean the idea is smoothing small for travel. I was also disappointed in the case supplied with the device. It should have been a small neoprene zippered case. So it is like a great device that fails becuase the case and charging block got no attention.
Clamshell design is cool. But 30W charge block didn't work from day one. Was travelling so couldnt return within 30 days. No just a brick. Disappointing!
I had high hopes for this product, but I woke up to a charged watch and an almost dead phone, even though the phone was supposedly charging. During the day, I tried charging just my phone, and it was unbelievably slow compared to other MagSafe chargers I’ve used. I had to resort to using a USB-C cable to charge my phone, and this product is essentially the world’s most expensive Apple Watch charger. This is disappointing from Twelve South. I wish they would make a great 2-in-1 USB-C cable with USB-C and Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger. A legit version doesn’t seem to exist, but that would be a dream for traveling!
Love the convenience of charging both iPhone and watch at the same time. The portability is a must for those that travel regularly. It does not charge as fast as some of my other wireless charging devices which can be frustrating. Also the watch tends to slip in nightstand mode, the magnet is not strong enough to hold it in place. I just charge it flat now.
I purchased the Butterfly charger just before leaving for a European cruise. It works beautifully and the included adapters are a perfect accessory. The compact design is beneficial in the cruise ship stateroom.
