I see other reviewers struggle with getting their XS Maxes to fit in the frame, but I have no problem whatsoever. I have an XS Max in an otterbox case and it fits easily in the frame. I'm not sure if they're using a significantly larger case or what, but mine fits just fine
I've ordered a few things from Twelve South (including a BookArc for Mac, years ago, that still serves me well). A quality company.
This product is nice to look at, though a bit slower to charge than my other charger - looks good on my desktop. You can change the image/photo - it's easy to do. It's sturdy enough as well, even with the phone.
First, the charging pad doesn't work on all phones because once the charging portion of the stand is on the mounting system, some phones sit too high and don't charge. Yes, you can stick your phone on its side to try getting it to charge, but you have to make sure it's in EXACTLY the right spot and wait for a few seconds before walking away or it may stop charging as soon as you let go of the phone.
Then there's the mounting system for the charger portion of the stand, which consists of jamming the charging portion of the stand into a slot and securing it with hopes and prayers. I dislodged the charger from the mounting stand 3 times just in the set-up process, and then again when I tried putting my phone on it because I thought I might be able to put my phone on the stand rather than having to delicately balance it there.
I've returned the product for a refund and am looking at the dozens of positive reviews wondering how low standards or how saturated the market has gotten for THIS product to be rated so high.
The only issue I have is that once you place the phone on the charger, a bright blue light on the back turns on. There are ventilation holes in the back that are arranged in a circle. So when you turn the lights off in the room, you have a bright blue light pattern on your wall that resembles sun rays. I covered the light with black electricians tape, but because the bulb is partially recessed, it still shines out of the ventilation holes. And I’m reluctant to cover too many of the ventilation holes and cause overheating. I also looked at opening the unit to cover the bulb on the inside. But the entire charging unit is factory sealed, and I don’t think it can be pried open without breaking it.
The frustrating part is that the light is completely unnecessary. Phones flash an alert when they start wirelessly charging, so you know it’s working when the phone is placed on the charger. For those of us who want to use this in the bedroom, the charger is just one more device adding unwanted light that interferes with a healthy sleeping environment. Not the mention that it’s a waste of electricity.
Update 12/28/20: as much as I really like this frame, I have to drop it down to 3 stars due to my original size concerns. Upgraded to the iPhone 12 Pro Max and it just doesn’t fit or line up properly to charge. If the frame were at least 1/4” or slightly more on the inset height it would still be a great charging option for the desk or nightstand. My wife has the same issue with her Samsung Note.
Top reviews from other countries
My one gripe is that the product does not come with it's own charge brick. At first we just grabbed the closest power brick, but it didn't charge the phone at all (thought the product might have been faulty or defective), but tried with a different brick and has been working flawlessly!
Great charger, great seller, would recommend!
Il posizionamento dello smartphone deve corrispondere precisamente altrimenti inizia a caricare poi si ferma.
Non sono soddisfatto.
So why give it 5 stars? Well, for any other size phone it's great, and is a discreet charging solution which doubles as a photo frame. Ideal for my office desk! I hope they make a revised product with a charging coil that can be adjusted, I'll be sad to give this up.
