    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.

    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

    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.

    Great concept. Does not hold charge very long. Works best with phone without case. Phone gets pretty hot while charging. Convenient and lightweight.

    This product is great! I used it on our recent Disney trip and it kept my phone charged all day! The added pop socket is a nice addition making it easier to hold and the MagSafe is perfect, no more cords and separate bulky charging pack! I even bought another one!

    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

    My wife loves the pop socket system and i like the versatility of the magsafe system, this battery makes it so we dont have to loose the pop socket or carry a cable to charge our iPhones. Win-win!

    Portable power gets a much needed upgrade

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    I love this product. My iP12 battery needs a boost on high usage days and this is the perfect solution. It is lightweight and the PopSockets grip means I can continue using my phone without dropping it while it charges. The magsafe connection is secure and I don't have to deal with a charging cord getting in my way. I've used the PopSockets magsafe grip and wallet for about a year now and love them both so am happy I have a solution for charging now too. I simply take grip off and switch out with this battery when I need it.

    Only reason why I don’t give it a 5 star is because the socket can pop out if not pushed in all the way and you’re trying to put in a pocket. Other than that it’s great . Charges fast and slim. No complaints

    It works fast and best of all it fits into my purse so I can carry it with me at all times. My old setup included a long cord which was awkward. It also recharges fast which is another boon to my day. Thanks, I love it!
