Introduction (Does It Do What It Should)
This isn’t the first time that I have reviewed products from Mophie, as it’s parent company is ZAGG. We reviewed ZAGG twice last year with two articles and many, many products. This time, we are reviewing a company known as Mophie, and I remember reviewing them years ago, and I am not certain if they were owned by ZAGG back then.
Our Review of the ZAGG/Mophie snap+ charging vent mount
I’m going to assume that all these products are in lower-case, because the ZAGG website doesn’t capitalize them in any way. We’re going to start with this snap+ charging vent mount, which I found out is Qi2-certified.
I’m not certain what Qi2 certified is, but if it means that it allows the phone to stick magnetically to the circular pad that you see in the image. Once you plug it into the car-port adapter and then plug it into this dock, you can stick on your phone and have it charging at 15W.
Now, you can see in the video that this product comes with an off-set extension arm, and installing it is pretty swift and quick. Once you have it installed, you can adjust your smartphone so you can better do apps that you will need while driving, like Maps.
Now, you can see from the video that I had issues mounting the snap+ charging vent mount, and I don’t know if that is my car’s vent or just me. Besides that, that’s the only drawback that I see in this product, if it really exists at all.
Our Review of the ZAGG/Mophie snap+ 3-in-1 wireless charge stand
All right, this next product is something that we have seen before, and part of it is another product by ZAGG. Now, this is a 3-in-1 charger, specifically designed for Apple users, particularly ones for the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods.
So, you will be seeing in the image that the iPhone sticks on the pad, just like the Qi2 vent mount for a 15W fast-charging power. Then you can adjust the iPhone on this 3-in-1 wireless charge stand, and then there is a shelf behind it made for the Apple Watch at 7.5W. The AirPods go on the bottom shelf and deliver up to 5W.
So, if you like the video, you will see how I attempt to use a USB-C to USB-C charger to try and power it, and the snap+ 3-in-1 wireless charge stand will have none of that. You will need to plug it in, but it really is handy to have this product around, because who doesn’t want an easy place to charge your Apple products.
Our Review of the ZAGG/Mophie Juice Pack for iPhone 15
Now, I mentioned this in the video, but I swear I reviewed the Juice Pack several years ago. I did a search for “juice pack”, and I couldn’t really find it, but I had an issue with my site that deleted years of my content.
The Juice Pack is a very simple device, as it is a case that serves as a back-up battery. This one is made for the iPhone 15, and the Juice Pack has a 2,400 mAh battery to restore up to 50 percent battery life. So, that’s about 44 hours worth of talk time.
What I’m going to talk about now is how it works, and how this Juice Pack resembles a mobile battery because it has the four lights on the back as indicators of how much battery life is in the unit. By the way, when you power the Juice Pack with an iPhone inside, the priority power will be channeled to the iPhone first.
I should also mention that the Juice Pack is made of 50 percent post-consumer recycled materials, and it has high impact protection.
Facts About The Company
As far as I know, I don’t think ZAGG is some kind of acronym for anything. According to the company website, ZAGG is a global leader in accessories and technologies to empower mobile lifestyles.
What is interesting is that ZAGG is not just one brand, but many. For example, there is the ZAGG “Life Unleashed” products made for a mobile lifestyle. Then there is the Invisible Shield products who were the original category creator of mobile screen protection. Then there is also the Gear4 stylish cases, with D3O, which is a market-leading impact production material. Then there is also Mophie, which is an award-winning designer of chargers, creator of the juice pack, which could be the first mobile battery (maybe, but they were one of the first that I remember seeing and reviewing).
What Does This Company Make?
As I have said before, the company makes a lot of products which include cases for mobile phones, screen protectors through Invisible Shield, chargers through Mophie, plus keyboards and other accessories.
Rather than talk about it, I think it would be better if I just put links to past ZAGG products with articles that I have written in the past.

What Do the Reviews Say?
I see that the Mophie snap+ charging vent mount has 7 reviews that are very diverse. Half of them are 5 stars, and the other half are one-star. I found that the one-star one say that it doesn’t fit their fits.
I’m assuming that these products have so little reviews because they are new, and the mophie snap+ 3-in-1 wireless charging stand has only 4 ratings. It averages out at 4.6 stars, so that is pretty good.
As for the Juice Pack for the iPhone 15, I show that the item will be released on June 7. I’m surprised that I got a hold of it, honestly.
