Air Power Subsitute

I use a 15 dollar Anker stand that works fine? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DBXZZN3/
Wife has one of those combination phone/watch charger stands that works fine as well.

I always found the mat style chargers just waste real estate on my nightstand.

Yep, anything Qi.

The only thing that was special about AirPower was that it was supposed to allow charging by tossing the device(s) anywhere onto the active surface. Turns out, Qi doesn't like, and wants the device to be charged properly aligned to the charger. Apple couldn't bend Qi it to its will, so it dumped the project.
 
I want to find a charger that can charge 2-3 items at full 10w each. One that isn’t a genetic piece of junk from Schengen China with a logo from a company I’ve never heard of slapped on it.

The reviews I’ve read and watched on these are pretty bad. I considered it for a while but decided against it for build and quality issues.

Interesting. Major sites (Apple Insider, 9to5Mac) through Youtube, rate it well. People on Amazon seem to be having an "uneven" experience. So, I'm not sure if that means that their tolerances in manufacturing are off or if people are doing it wrong. Probably a bit of both. It seems to me though that it's the only game in town. You may have to wait another year for other manufacturers to make some "second/third gen" devices or stick to single qi stands.
