If you look around all the normal wbesites for a 3-in-1 MagSafe charger for iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods, you will find hundreds of options made of plastic. They all work well, but sometimes you might want something that is more of a premium feels. The NOCO XGrid XDS3 is one of those options. It is certainly not the most affordable option on the market, but it is undoubtedly one of the best (and best looking)

Premium form factor
The build quality is the first thing that stands out to me with the NOCO XGrid XDS3. It uses a precision die-cast metal chassis, so it’s balanced and won’t pull up when you pull a device off. When you grab your iPhone off of it, you don’t have to hold the base down with your other hand. The NOCO XGrid XDS3 stays planted exactly where you put it.
Because it is a vertical stand rather than a flat pad, it’s compatible with StandBy mode. You can put your iPhone horizontally to see the time, your calendar, etc., while you work at your desk or lie in bed. It also has a really nice sculpted design that looks visually clean, helping your setup avoid clutter.
