Review—Scosche MagicMount™ Base Pro 3-In-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand with Removable Power Bank
No matter which makes and models of cell phones you may use, the one thing that we all need to do on a more or less daily basis is recharge their smallish on-board batteries. I, perhaps like many of you, am constantly on the lookout for the ideal recharging solution. With that in mind, this week I will be reviewing a product that was sent to me by Scosche — billed on their website as “The No. 1 Mount Brand in USA and Canada.”

Scosche’s product categories include mounts, charging, cables, Bluetooth, automotive and car audio. Today I will be reviewing their “MagicMount™ Base Pro 3-In-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand with Removable Power Bank.”

3-in-1 charging solutions are ideal for those of us who need to charge our Apple watches and our cell phones. One 3-in-1 device conveniently charges both. In case you are wondering, they are called 3-in-1 devices because they can charge up to three devices—typically a single cell phone, earbuds and a watch, even if the specific model can only charge two at once. Got it? Good!

I like an all-in-one solution because it alleviates some of the clutter on my countertop. My cell phone and charger all get charged in the same place, which is convenient. Until these products arrived for me to review, I had been using a very small, folding device with similar functionality. Its small size makes it ideally suited for me to take with me when I travel, so this larger Scosche 3-in-1 charger would replace it for use in my home. Furthermore, this Scosche charger includes a light that illuminates under the base, and a portable, 5,000 mAh MagSafe power bank battery that easily drops into a dedicated charger on the base.

Included is a “MagicRing™” Adapter for wireless charging-enabled Android phones.

Not included with the Scosche “MagicMount™ Base Pro 3-In-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand with Removable Power Bank” is a small, round, “Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C” device. You will need one of those if you want to charge your Apple watch with this product. If you have an Apple watch, you already have one of those to recharge it. Simply insert its round charging disk into the round watch holder frame, and plug the other end of the cord into the base.
Provide power to the Scosche “MagicMount™ Base Pro 3-In-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand with Removable Power Bank” by plugging in the included AC adapter’s five-foot cord. Then, magnetically attach an Apple watch to your charging disk, and magnetically attach your cell phone to the larger disc on the end of the adjustable chrome arm.
Simply touch anywhere on the stand’s chrome arm to turn the nightlight that surrounds the base on or off, and to control the nightlight’s brightness.

There are lights on the 5,000 mAh MagSafe power bank battery to indicate its level of charge.
So, how well does the Scosche “MagicMount™ Base Pro 3-In-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand with Removable Power Bank” work? As expected, it is simple and convenient. It also looks attractive as it displays my Apple watch and iPhone on my counter top.
However, there is a problem. While using the Scosche “MagicMount™ Base Pro 3-In-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand with Removable Power Bank” in order to write my review of it, I discovered that the base has difficulty charging my iPhone (14 Pro Max) when my cell phone is in its protective MagSafe case (UAG/Urban Armor Gear “Monarch Pro Series”” (25-foot drop protection, 5-layer, traction grip, armor frame, wireless charging compatible). The case’s box includes this statement: “BUILT-IN MAGNET FOR MAGSAFE.”). When I removed my cell phone from that case, it charged quickly, as it did before in my older 3-in-1 folding charger.

I phoned Scosche tech support and described my situation. They told me that since not all MagSafe cases are the same, it is possible that some may not work well with this charger. You should, therefore, keep this possibility in mind if attempting to charge with your cell phone in a MagSafe case.

Jan, very interesting gadget but I’m just fine for device charging. David.
I understand. We all have ways to charge our cell phones and watches already.
