Belkin Qi2 15W 2 in 1 Wireless Charging Pad with USB-C Port

Why it's worth it

This flat pad charges a phone at the full 15W with Qi2 magnets and an earbud case at 5W beside it, plus there's a USB-C output port for a third device. It's barely half an inch thick, so it travels far better than any stand.

This is the 3-in-1 stand's flatter, cheaper cousin, and for travel it's the better object. Half an inch thick and a little over six inches wide means it slides into a laptop sleeve. The stand doesn't. If you want proper Qi2 magnetic charging in a hotel room without packing something the size of a grapefruit, this is the answer.

It ships with a 30W power supply and a USB-C cable in the box, which is less common than it should be — plenty of wireless chargers arrive expecting you to already own a brick. The extra USB-C output port turns the pad into a small hub, so you can run an Apple Watch cable off it and cover three devices from one outlet.

What to know

• –The 15W magnet grips hard
• –The secondary pad is 5W, so it's for AirPods and similar
