This MagSafe battery gives you the best of both world! The battery easily connects to your iPhone with no awkward cable required. The pack is small enough that it fits in your pocket even while connected to your phone. Makes sure you have an extra charge while on the go.
The pop socket not only provides you with perfect grip on your phone, but also works as a perfect kickstand for watching videos! The PopGrip top is also really easy to swap giving you endless options to make it personal (you can also order custom tops with your own images). This product works perfect for me since I always have my PopSocket MagSafe grip on my phone, so now having this battery where I can still have a PopSocket Grip while charging is awesome!
100% would recommend this product! Anytime I plan to be out and about I bring it with me, there is nothing worse than having a dead phone and now I never have that issue.

Great charger! Very fast and easy to use. It’s also very compact which makes it easy to keep in my pockets when I’m not using it!

The only one problem I have is that it gets extremely hot when charging your phone is still good to have especially if you’re into taking pictures like I am

Finally, My PopSockets Have a Purpose Again!

It’s not the most powerful battery out there, but it serves a fun and practical purpose. Over the years, I’ve collected a bunch of PopSockets—Pokémon, Harry Potter, Meow Wolf, and more—that I couldn’t really use because wireless charging made them inconvenient. This battery pack changes that! I can finally show off my favorite PopSockets again.
I even got one for my fiancée. She’s not too concerned about the battery life or whether there are better options—she’s just thrilled to be able to display her PopSockets and prop her phone up horizontally to watch videos.
That said, there are a few downsides. The battery life isn’t great, and it only allows horizontal phone standing—not vertical. Charging is also on the slower side, and the phone can overheat a bit, which sometimes causes it to lag.
Also, wish Anker/PopSocket would have included a collectible or themed PopSocket with the charger instead of just a plain boring black one. That would’ve made it feel more special and probably encouraged more people to buy it, especially fans and collectors.
One more issue: Best Buy shipped one of the batteries in an opened box, and it had visible fingerprints on it. I didn’t want to go through the hassle of returning it and just hoped it wasn’t used. Still, Best Buy should really be more careful with quality control.

Portable power gets a much needed upgrade

I've tried other MagSafe portable batteries and this one is much easier to use. The other batteries get in the way of holding the phone, but this version with the PopSocket added to the back makes it easy to use and charge at the same time.

Bought this to take to work to charge my phone wirelessly. I have the apple one but it doesn’t have a pop socket on it. The pop socket on the back is so handy as I have so many cracks on my phone from dropping it. Would recommend.

I love this power bank. It is so easy to use and compact, and I love the built in Popsocket. The magsafe feature is great too.

This charger has come in CLUTCH at work. I’m a dispatcher and spend 90% of my night on the phone. Not only does it charge quickly, it lasts for at least two charges. The pop socket is nice to have, as I have a pop socket wallet myself. It’s great when you’re at home, on the couch and don’t want to stretch out to reach for your AC charger. Haha

I definitely recommend this product, its very convinient and you dont have to worry about the charger cable getting in the way. The only reason i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because it doesnt charge my phone to 100%. If my phone is at 1% the most charge it’ll give is 60-65% of charge. But if youre looking for an inexpensive charger for sure buy this one

I use this whenever i fly because of how easy it is to use. I have the iphone 14 pro max so it is pretty large and a popsocket is a non negotiable thing for me, so being able to have my cake and eat it too is awesome. It charges my phone one full time which is just enough

This product has been really convenient for me when i want to use a pop socket but don’t want the commitment of a glued on pop socket to my phone. There’s enough room for 3-4 cards total. The inner part of the item starts peeling though.

Lightweight and easy to use. The pop socket doubles as a phone stand as well. This charger charges your phone approximately 2 times when it's fully charged. The downside is it's gotten pretty warm at times when charging.

Pop socket works well. Wish the battery was larger. Light weight and does not add much bulk to the phone.
