Qi wireless charging, from magnetic docks and stands to power banks and pads.
The Choetech 15W Wireless Charger Stand retails for S$36.90 on Lazada. With two coils, it charges your phone in portrait or landscape, and supports four speed tiers, 15W, 10W, 7.5W, and 5W, with over-charge and over-temperature protection.
On my first business trip to Shanghai, I visited the Mi Store and bought the Xiaomi High Speed Wireless Charger Set for around S$30. It bundles a 27W USB-A charger and a 20W wireless charger.
Apple refreshed the AirPods in March 2019, offering two versions: with Wireless Charging Case at S$299 or standard Charging Case at S$239, a S$60 premium for Qi wireless. I got the wireless version during Lazada's mid-year festival.
The Choetech 5 Coils Dual Fast Wireless Charging Pad retails for S$39.90. It's the upgraded version of the Dual 5W pad I've used reliably in the office, so I got this faster one for home.
The Nomad Base Station comes in Hub and Apple Watch editions. The Hub adds a 7.5W USB-A and 18W USB-C PD port for two more devices, while the Apple Watch Edition has only an Apple Watch charger.
The Choetech USB-C Dual 5W Wireless Charging Pad combines two 5W wireless chargers in one unit, powered by a single USB-C port. It measures 220x90x14mm, weighs 150g, and has anti-slip silicone on both surfaces.

The HyperDrive 7.5W Wireless Charger USB-C Hub came from a Kickstarter in January 2018 that raised US$657,117. I missed the early-bird US$79 price, so my friend Kevin helped me get it; it finally shipped to me in July 2018.
The Mophie Wireless Charging Base is one of two Apple-endorsed chargers that fast-charge the iPhone 8/8 Plus/X at 7.5W; my benchmarks confirm non-endorsed pads don't. It retails for S$99 at Apple, though I picked one up in Japan.
I bought the Anker PowerPort Qi 10W from Amazon for US$19.49, down from US$25.99 thanks to an exclusive Kinja Deals coupon. Handily, some Anker products, including this one, ship directly to Singapore for a small fee.
The Choetech Circle Qi Wireless Charger retails for US$19.99 on Amazon. It charges Qi-enabled devices, or any phone with a Qi-compatible cover, outputting 5V/1A. About the size of a coffee coaster at 84mm wide, it's finished in metallic silver.
I won the Nokia Wireless Charging Stand (DT-910), worth S$128, from TheGeekyBeng's Great Nokia Giveaways. It's my second Qi charger, after the Anker Ultra-Slim Qi pad. Both happily charge my Lumia 930 and Nexus 5 even with their cases on.
Wanting to try Qi wireless charging, I bought the Anker Ultra-Slim Qi-Enabled Wireless Charging Pad from Amazon for US$25.99. Since Anker, not Amazon, sells it and doesn't ship to Singapore directly, I paid an extra US$5.22 to my HopShopGo forwarder.
