Case-Mate Power Pad
($30)
I very much
appreciate the design
of the Power Pad; it
doubles as an iPhone
stand either in landscape
or portrait orientation,
allowing you to use it
in a variety of situation
and locations. With 7.5
watts of charging power,
the Power Pad charges
quickly and also produc-
es a gentle chime and
LED light to notify you
when it’s connected to
your smartphone. The
Power Pad has a slip-resistant surface and includes a charging
cable and wall adapter.
Griffi n PowerBlock
($59.95)
The Griffi n PowerBlock has a square shape with a soft, gray,
felt pad surface. This not only helps your iPhone stay in place,
but it also keeps your iPhone from collecting any fi ne scratch-
es while you repeatedly place your device on its surface for
daily charging. The PowerBlock lights up while charging and
delivers 15 watts of fast charging power.
Incipio Ghost
($59.99)
The Ghost Qi charger is a thin, rectangular charging pad that
lights up with a soft neon blue LED light when connected to
your iPhone. A grippy, non-slip rubber makes up 80 percent
of the surface area of the Ghost, keeping your phone fi rmly
in place. With 15 watts of charging power, you don’t have to
worry that the Ghost will become obsolete when Apple rolls
out faster charging.
Satechi Aluminum
Wireless Charger
($34.99)
The Satechi alu-
minum charger has
a sleek and shiny
polished surface with
burnished aluminum
sides, which combine
to give it quite a stylish
look. This disk-shaped
Qi charger also delivers
a fast charge to your
iPhone and is available
in a wide range of colors that match Apple’s iPhone lineup,
which gives this charger the unique appearance of being part
of your iPhone family of accessories.Ikea Riggad LED Work Lamp
($69.99)
The Ikea Riggad is a unique Qi
accessory, thanks to its multi-
purpose functionality. It incor-
porates a wireless charging pad
into the base of an adjustable,
directional LED desk lamp.
The base of the lamp also has
a USB charging port built in.
With the Riggad, you can easily
charge two devices at the same
time, with one resting on the
Qi charging base and another
plugged in via the USB port.
This is an ideal solution for any
crowded desk or work area. If
you want more wireless charging
furniture, Ikea has several other
styles available as well!Fonesalesman WoodPuck
($59.99)
This small wireless
charger has a distinctive
look thanks to the smooth,
organic feel of its natural
bamboo wood charging
plate. It is the perfect
choice for anyone who
appreciates an earthy
element fused with their
hi-tech accessories. The
WoodPuck features Poor
Sync Detection, which prevents excess heat build-up and plays
a sound to alert you to shift the placement of your iPhone. ѶDig Om is senior gear editor at iPhone Life. His interests include the arts, web design,
