Belkin is supercharging its accessory lineup at CES 2024 with a new lineup of wireless charging accessories and smaller, more powerful wired chargers — all thanks to two relatively new technologies being embraced by the popular accessory maker.

Thanks to the new Qi2 standard, Belkin is releasing a new BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Stand that will provide universal 15-watt wireless charging support and the BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank, which delivers more power for on-the-go charging needs.

On the wired front, a new 200-watt charger promises enough juice to safely top up to four USB-C devices simultaneously in a remarkably compact form factor. There’s a compact 6-in-1 laptop dock as well.

Belkin’s BoostCharge Pro stands are some of the most elegant and popular charging solutions for iPhone users with multiple devices, and the new BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Stand is no exception.

It follows the same design as the company’s iconic MagSafe stand with a handy twist — literally. The charging pad is now adjustable to nearly any angle, from laying your iPhone flat to propping it up perpendicular to your desk or table.

This is facilitated by an adjustable hinge that’s conspicuously absent from every MagSafe stand we’ve ever seen. We’ve generally assumed it’s something forbidden by Apple’s MagSafe certification requirements, forcing users to choose between an adjustable stand and the fastest 15W charging.

However, Belkin’s new stand doesn’t need to follow Apple’s rules, as it now uses modern Qi2 charging with the open-standard Magnetic Power Profile (MPP) that can deliver 15W charging to any compatible iPhone — that’s any iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro or an iPhone 13 or iPhone 14 running iOS 17.2 or later.

As with Belkin’s other stands, the new BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Stand also offers an Apple Watch charger that supports fast charging for the Apple Watch Series 7 or later and the Apple Watch Ultra series, as well as an optimized charging pad for your AirPods or other wireless earbuds.

The BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Stand will sell for $150 and be available in select markets worldwide in March.

In the same vein as Belkin’s new magnetic stand, the company has also unveiled a Qi2 MPP magnetic power bank under the same brand that’s capable of delivering up to 15W of wireless power to iPhone 13 or later models and other Qi2-compatible devices.

An integrated kickstand lets you prop up your phone for watching videos or reading on the go, and like other magnetic battery packs, it’s compatible with MagSafe cases.

The BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank will be available in 5,000mAh, 8,000mAh, and 10,000mAh options for $60, $80, and $100, respectively. It also supports passthrough charging via the USB-C port so that you can juice up the power bank and your smartphone at the same time. It’s coming in March to select markets worldwide.

On the wired side, Belkin is taking advantage of relatively new gallium nitride (GAN) technology to produce some of the smallest and most powerful wired chargers and docks it’s ever made.

First up is a 4-port USB-C GaN Wall Charger that packs 200W of power — enough to let you fast charge up to four devices simultaneously. For example, it can deliver full-speed charging to a high-powered gaming laptop, with more than ample power left over for your smartphone, tablet, and more.

Thanks to the GaN technology, it’s a deceptively small design given the power it delivers, measuring only 92 by 118.5 by 35.5mm and weighing 650 grams. You can easily tuck it into your laptop bag for use on the go.

The BoostCharge Pro 4-port USB-C GaN Charger will sell for $130 and is coming to select markets worldwide in March.

6-in-1 Core GaN Dock

Belkin’s new 6-in-1 Core GaN Dock is another example of the miracle of GaN technology. At about 3 inches on each side, this pocket-sized dock provides connections for 4K HDMI and Gigabit Ethernet, as well as two USB-A and two USB-C ports, one of which provides 96W power delivery.

The small size means you’ll not only be able to reduce clutter on your desk, but it’s also an excellent solution for taking on the road for use in conference rooms and hotel rooms.

The 6-in-1 Core GaN Dock is available now from Belkin.com for $140, and should be coming soon to select retailers worldwide.

Nomad’s hefty new MagSafe charger will stay exactly where you put it
The Nomad Stand One in carbide.

Tired of your wireless charger making its own way around the desk or bedside table? The way lightweight pads can slip around, seemingly with a will of their own, can be frustrating. That’s why you need Nomad’s new Stand One.

This metal and glass MagSafe charger weighs 613 grams, or just over 1 pound. It’s unlikely to shift about without quite a lot of encouragement. It's likely a bit overkill, but is there anything really wrong with that?

OtterBox’s new iPhone case for CES 2023 fixes an annoying MagSafe problem
OtterBox OtterGrip Symmetry Series case collection in six colors

One of the best things about more recent iPhones, ever since the iPhone 12, is the introduction of MagSafe. This hardware feature brings about a whole new world of MagSafe accessories — from chargers and battery packs to wallets and phone grips with wireless shutter buttons. OtterBox has a phone case that has a built-in PopSockets PopGrip, but the big problem with that is that you can’t use it with MagSafe. For CES 2023, OtterBox is now rectifying that problem with the new OtterGrip Symmetry Series case, which offers the best of both worlds.

OtterBox is a brand known for its incredibly tough and durable cases and accessories, and that still holds true with the OtterGrip Symmetry Series. The OtterGrip Symmetry Series will have the 3x military-grade standard drop protection that OtterBox’s reputation is built on. And that's all while having a seamless, built-in grip that sits flush with the case, thus working flawlessly with your MagSafe accessories, like chargers and wallets, without ever having to remove or realign the case or grip.

Watch someone use MagSafe to save their iPhone from a floorboard disaster
iPhone 12 Pro Max with MagSafe charger

Dropping an iPhone through the cracks of the floor sounds like a nightmare for anybody who owns one. David Cogen, founder of TheUnlockr.com, lived this particular nightmare when he dropped his iPhone 14 Plus and it slipped beneath the floorboards during a night out at a bar. Luckily, MagSafe came to the rescue.

Cogen shared a video on Twitter on Thursday showing the exact moment he dropped his iPhone 14 Plus through the floorboard at a local bar the night before — and everyone who attempted to help him fish it out from underneath, including the bar manager, using various tools to no avail. The next day, he returned to the bar, slipped a MagSafe Duo charger through the crack of the floorboard, and successfully fished his phone back to the surface and his hand.
