    This works great! Was looking for a solution to not have to carry around a charger and a cable, especially for airplanes and other spaces where having a cord in tight areas just is inconvenient. This one is a winner, sticks to the back of my phone and charges!

    I’ve been using the Essential Magnetic Charger for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed. The magnetic connection is strong and lines up perfectly every time, making it super easy to just snap my phone into place without fumbling around for cables. Charging is fast and consistent, and the charger doesn’t get too hot during use. I also love how sleek and minimal the design is — it looks great on my desk and nightstand. It’s especially handy if you’re someone who uses your phone while it’s charging, since the magnetic attachment holds it securely in place. Highly recommend this charger if you're looking for a solid, no-hassle magnetic charging solution!

    Strong Magnet, Handy Kickstand, Great ValUe

    This little charger is a great companion for my iPhone. The magnet is surprisingly strong—it locks on securely without worrying about it slipping off. With its 5,000mAh capacity, I can usually get my phone from about 50% to full a little more than once, which is perfect for travel or long days out. The built-in kickstand is a nice bonus too—turns it into a temporary dock for watching videos or video calls. For the price, it’s a solid value. My only gripe is that the white finish picks up dirt and smudges pretty easily, so it needs a wipe-down every so often.

    I recently bought the Best Buy Essentials™ 5,000mAh 7.5W Magnetic Wireless Portable Charger in white for my iPhone 15 Pro Max, and I couldn't be happier. The magnetic alignment is perfect, ensuring a secure and efficient charge every time. Its compact size makes it easy to carry around, providing a reliable power boost whenever needed. The charger is also compatible with other MagSafe devices, adding to its versatility. Best Buy’s service was exceptional, with a smooth purchasing process and quick delivery. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a dependable portable charger!

    Quickly charges my iPhone wirelessly. Strong magnet keeps it attached to the phone. Also, has a kickstand to keep the phone propped up while viewing shows. Wished it had a visual indication of the battery's state of charge. Unable to tell how much charge is left

    Actually more versatile than it appears!

    First and foremost, this product is meant to be used like an external battery- very similar to the official magsafe battery by Apple themselves. It does hold more charge than the official one, and the kickstand is a nifty feature. It attaches quite nicely to the back of my iPhone 13 pro, maintaining a strong grip. What isn't that apparent is that this can work as a power bank as well. The charge port, which uses a usb c connection, is bidirectional. This means that you can use a cable with usb c to charge your devices, even if they don't have magsafe compatibility. This versatility beats out the official battery, which best case scenario can only charge an iPhone and itself simultaneously. One minor downside is that there is no charge level indicator, and sadly the battery doesn't show up in the battery widget on my phone's home screen. This does lead to having to guess how much charge this battery has left... Overall I can't complain. This is a solid alternative to Apple's $100 solution at a significantly lower cost. Fun tidbit: simultaneous charge works as well.

    This is a nice little battery! The stand is a bonus and will put iPhone in standby while charging in landscape. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max which is pre-MagSafe with a third party case that has MagSafe… wasn’t sure it would work but it does.

    Great battery for magsafe iPhones!The viewing kickstand doesn't really work on beds or couches but works really good on tables! It also works as a corded magnet charger when you need to charge the battery and your phone, it charges the phone while plugged in and charging itself! It also has USB - C power out which is nice for charging other devices that don't have Qi charging or magsafe. Don't forget to click the power button on the battery and reattach the battery to phone to enable the charging of the phone.

    I bought an iPhone charger from Best Buy, and I’m very pleased with the quality. It charges my phone quickly and safely, and the cable feels durable compared to others I’ve used. I also like that Best Buy carries genuine Apple accessories, so I know I’m getting something reliable. The price was fair, and the staff was helpful in pointing me to the right product. It’s always convenient to shop here because I can trust the products and the customer service. This charger has been a great purchase, and I highly recommend it.

    Well it's a good, battery overall has a good battery capacity! There should be other colors but there isn't unfortunately besides it getting dirty very easily as a mechanic ASE, There's is alot of grease, oil, metal (Rust) ,rubber cement & dirt (Dust) ect there is a no signs of damage or incoherent signs of it giving out except juice to my battery. Very good buy for the price point would consider probably getting it plasti dipped to make a case of course covering the movie essential parts of it and discharging it just incase! It's obviously out of warranty so it doesn't matter!!! Very much needed for my liking would recommend to family and friends colleges! For this essential product.
