First night my phone stopped charging at %80 due to over heating, I was charging my watch and airpods also but they were at %100.

Because I had the airpods on charge, I was forced to place the phone vertically which definately is troublesome — if you are going to use this for just a watch and phone only, placing the phone horizontally is much easier to land it on the sweet spot.

Went back to a stand up wireless charger. Dealing with finding a sweet spot completely wrecks the convenience of a wireless charger.
Yeah, friend had the same problem, returned and purchased this and it works fine, except the Airpods charger is wired

Legit question, not trying to shit on OP.
This charger and the wireless chargers for $20 that are on Amazon and where ever else aren't even comparable.

For one this charger has a built in Apple Watch charger and the wireless charger pad itself has 3 coils built in. Of course if you're only charging your one phone that the $20 chargers will more than suffice.

If you also check the nomad site, they've given it some killer reviews.

I picked this up because I have an Apple Watch and an iPhone XS and later on in the future I'll be picking up the new Air Pods with the wireless charging. Which then I'll be able to charge all 3 devices on.

I went with this:

Belkin BOOST↑UP Wireless Charging Dock for iPhone + Apple Watch

https://store.apple.com/ca/xc/product/HML52ZM/A

Pricey but the quality of product is insane, the whole base is this thick solid rubber that forces the phone into the right spot everytime, and the rubber also holds the Apple watch perfectly so you can push the bottons on it while docked. As for the airpods it comes with a USB slot for a lightning cable, sucks because can't utilize the wireless charging case, but having a cable at bedside is nice, just had to recharge my Apple TV remote

Saw it back in stock, tried to use eBates this morning, and it was sold out before I got back... Figured I'd check back regularly today to see if any stock trickle back in, and now I get 404. Looks like BestBuy is getting rid of this SKU altogether. I wonder if Nomad is releasing a new product soon?

I received mine. I am not sure if even at $99 it is worth it, Apple Watch charges fine but it is difficult to find the charging coil. It works great if the phone is sitting horizontally but if vertically, I would need to move my iPhone Xs Max and Xr so so many times before I can find the right spot before it can charge. I can easily get pissed off at that. Still thinking if I should keep this one.

I received mine and the thing fried on me. The right side (the coils) made a sizzling sound and light smoke came out of the back ports. Needless to say, this is going back to BestBuy. Kind of disappointed in this! The coils are difficult to find too when placing your device portrait (like the images on the box) but, does work fine when placed across the mat

Any suggestions for a good cheap mat to charge two Qi phones at the same time? Don't have an Apple Watch.
