So a few nights ago, I got a message from someone with CHOETECH. They'd seen that I had posted here about my Stadium Qi charger and asked if I'd be willing to try out the new Iron Stand charger. Of course I said yes - their timing couldn't have been better as I was planning on buying a stand charger soon. I only had the one and was getting tired of bringing it back and forth between work and home (not that it was a pain, but if I'd forget it I'd be grumpy ;) ).
Packaging
The packaging was quite nice. I don't recall what the Stadium packaging was like, but a lot of stuff from China doesn't even come in a box. Quality packaging left an immediate positive initial impression.
Contents
The box contained the Iron Stand charger, a 5V 2A power adapter, USB cable, a "User Manual", and a card with instructions what to do if you were either happy (post a review, recommend, etc) or unhappy (contact their customer service) with the product.
Build Quality
First impressions - this thing is really nice. My wife, very non-tech type, even comment on how nice it looks. The stand is made of what appears to be some sort of aluminium alloy. The charging plate is in the middle and very polished (it's quite reflective). On one side is the power port and 4 blue indicator LEDs. The LED on the Stadium is very bright, but it's more subtle here on the Iron Stand. On the bottom of the stand is soft rubber that gives it a really good grip so that it doesn't slide around. Also, the USB cable that it comes with seems to be pretty high quality, on par with the Anker cables I've got. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the quality of this charger.
Capability
Using my S6 Edge with a Ringke Fusion cover, positioning the device so that it gets a charge is very simple - it picks it up right away, vertical or horizontal. However, I found that it seems to get a faster charge when horizontal. When horizontal I get a charge on par with the Stadium charger, but it's a tad slower when vertical. Must just be something with the placement of the coils not being quite right for the S6. Aside from that, it does work well. I've had no issues with it overheating. Every once in a while the screen will kick on when fully charged, but I think this is probably a result of something draining my battery just enough to get it below 100%. Seems about the same as the Stadium on that front.
TL;DR - The Iron Stand is a really good choice for a stand Qi charger. Build quality is great, charging is on par with what you should expect from a Qi charger.
