Nomad’s Stand One is our favourite wi-fi charger if you happen to’re keen to fork out some money, which makes it a fair smarter purchase throughout this sale. That is the Qi2 model, which can be appropriate with the wave of Qi2 Android telephones coming in 2025, but in addition works with MagSafe iPhones (iPhone 13 fashions and newer assist the Qi2 protocol). The usual MagSafe model of this charger can also be nice and on sale for $77 ($33 off).
Received an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods? You want a 3-in-1 wi-fi charger to make recharging all the simpler. Nomad’s Base One Max does the job and appears good whereas doing it.

Nomad’s Slim chargers are my go-to anytime I am leaving the home. The prongs fold up, which means it truly is tremendous slim. That is the 65-watt mannequin that works for laptops and extra, nevertheless it’s additionally accessible in 35 watts if you wish to recharge a telephone. I’ve used this charger on airplanes, lodges, and low outlets with no points. There are two USB-C ports on the backside, every providing 65 watts on their very own, however they cut up to 45 and 20 watts when each are in use.
They don’t seem to be slim, however they’re tiny and inexpensive. These energy adapters will not block one other outlet on the wall and whereas the prongs do not fold, they’re positively tiny. This mannequin is 30 watts, which is sweet for fast-charging smartphones and tablets, however you may step all the way down to the 20-watt mannequin to save lots of more money (additionally wonderful for telephones and tablets, however not as quick).
I have not but examined this charger, however I’ve examined the usual 65-watt mannequin. I want the Slim variant, however the primary cause to purchase this one is as a result of it has a built-in Apple Watch charging module on the prime. So you may plug in your USB-C cable to cost your iPhone and plop your Apple Watch over the facility adapter, preserving issues neat.
Nomad’s Kevlar cables are thick and braided, and also you get numerous connectivity choices. One finish has USB-C or USB-A, and the opposite has USB-C or MicroUSB. Helpful for all these older devices that have not but transitioned to USB-C. You have got three lengths to select from, and you may as well get the usual cable with out the adapters when you’ve got all USB-C gear. It will probably carry as much as 100 watts.

I like Nomad’s Rugged Case, which helps MagSafe. There is a thick thermoplastic urethane bumper that gives a pleasant grip, and a easy polycarbonate body. There is a cutout for the Digicam Management button, plus a button for the Motion Button. It is solely accessible for the Professional iPhones, which is a disgrace.
Nomad’s leather-based instances have lengthy been my go-to suggestions for anybody available in the market. The Conventional Leather-based Case is produced from sustainably sourced Ecco leather-based (you must pay a little bit extra for the even extra supple Horween leather-based mannequin). There is a hole for the Digicam Management button reasonably than a cutout, so it seems to be a bit awkward.
