I just did a quick test and it seems to work. Plugged in and charging and I put my iPhone on it and both seemed to be charging (although my iPhone was at 100% - still went green to indicate charging).
I bought one at Best Buy yesterday and have had it on the charger for more than 2 hours and I can't get it to charge. The white lights on the side light up and then go off. I have no way of knowing how much charge has been added to the battery. Not sure this charger is for me... very frustrating.
Off the top of my head, I can’t exactly remember. It depends on the state of your battery, the type of charger you are using, etc. I typically just use it (set it and forget it) and then just unplug. If I were to guess, I’d say a couple of hours.
Just took a look at it. It’s hard to say exactly what the material is. For the sides, it almost feels like metal (or very hard plastic). The top and bottom seem to be hard plastic. The MagSafe charging side has a soft rubber to not scratch your iPhone. And the fold out propping stand is metal. Hope that helps.
Nice review thanks a lot!
what's the battery capacity? Mine didn't come with a stand and the box is white. I just bought mine but I wonder if it's a newer model or older.
Hello! May I use the magsafe charge while its recharging?

Make sure you are using a proper rated charger. Change cables to test as well.

How about heat issue
All batteries have heat emission. And charging via MagSafe is “hot” as well. Hard to tell, honestly.
How long did it take to charge

Are the sides made from metal/aluminium or plastic?
