COURANT Catch:1 - Belgian Linen Wireless Charging Pad - Compatible with iPhone 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, X, Samsung Galaxy S23, S22, S21, S20, Note, AirPods, AirPods Pro (Camel)

I like this charger because it does not need to be plugged in. Just lay the phone on top of it. And it looks nice on my nightstand. I would recommend this for friends and family.

It looks really nice on my table unfortunately it doesn’t charge a phone. I have a new iPhone and it only works at all (not much) when I remove the case. A whole night of charging for me to 25 percent.

I'm using this charging pad in conjunction with an Anker 511 Charger (Model# A2637) to charge my iPhoneX and my Apple AirPods Pro (1st Generation) and I like the product. Reading other complaints about this product's finicky placement problem, I did a quick test on whether there was a difference if the power source used with this charging pad. I found out that the power source made an enormous difference in how accurate the placement needed between the pad and the phone to initiate charging. When plugging the cable into my PCs USB port or plugging the cable into the USB port of one of my power strips made the pad extremely sensitive to the phone placement. I settled on plugging the cable into the Anker and eliminated the need for super-accurate placement. My unscientific conclusion was that the charging pad has a need for a certain amount of power to correctly align the QI coils in the iPhone and the charging pad.

I got this for my new desk setup because aesthetics matter to me. It looks really really nice on my desk, charges very easily, and is a simple device to own. Two main downsides to this device are price and the speed at which it charges.Price - I think this was a bit expensive for what it is, and the charger DOES NOT come with a power brick. I read this ahead of time and still bought it because it was the only one I liked looking at. I am not too upset about the charging brick except that it was very difficult to figure out what charging brick to buy to correctly and safely support this charger. I bought one on amazon after researching best I could for like 30 minutes, and still have no clue if what I have is correct for optimal charging speed and product longevity.I am not sure if all wireless devices of this variety and power charge at the same rate, but this was slower than I expected. This is not really a problem for me since I do not use this as my main charger in my house, just as a way to pick up some extra juice when I sit at my desk. I am setting my phone on the desk anyway, so why not grab some charge while I can, right?For what I need this product does fit the bill quite well, but it leaves a lot to be desired regarding the charging brick especially. That to me is just inexcusable oversight in how the product is sold. At least TELL ME what kind of charger to buy. Apologies if it does somewhere and I could not find it after looking for 30mins - in that case, do better and sharing that information.

I love the look but when I place my phone to charge on it. It doesn't always automatically charge. I usually have to adjust the power cord and move my phone or pick it up and place it back on the charging pad to get it charging which is frustrating.When it does work, it charges like any other charger.
