I’ll never travel without Belkin’s iPhone and Apple Watch charger | Digital Trends

My favorite thing about Belkin’s Travel Pad is its design. When folded, you have easy access to the magnetic phone charging pad. On the backside is a rubber ring to prevent it from sliding on a table, and that’s also where the Apple Watch charger puck lives — which you can flip up and use, too.

The body of the Travel Pad is made of fabric that looks and feels excellent. It’s soft, well-constructed, and gives the Travel Pad a cozier feeling than any of my other charging accessories.

The Travel Pad’s size makes it even better. It easily fits in the palm of my hand and even the smallest pockets of my backpack. It’s a compact and portable square with a magnetic phone charger on one side and an Apple Watch charger on the other. That’s pretty cool, but the real magic happens when you open up the Travel Pad.

Do this, and you can charge your phone and Apple Watch simultaneously. A single USB-C cable powers the Travel Pad — which is included in the box, along with a 30W power supply. It’s an extremely neat and tidy setup, and it’s precisely what I’ve been looking for in a travel charger.

Belkin got the hardware right, but it also nailed the nerdy charging specs. Put your phone on the charger, and it’ll charge at up to 15W. The Apple Watch charger also supports fast charging for the Apple Watch Series 7, 8, 9, and 10.

While the watch charger is specific to the Apple Watch, the magnetic phone charger works with MagSafe-compatible iPhones and any other device with Qi2. Although there aren’t many Qi2 Android phones available yet, they’ll work perfectly with the Travel Pad once you get one. You can also use any wireless-charging-capable device with the Travel Pad’s charger; it just won’t work with the magnets unless your device has MagSafe or Qi2.
