    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.

    Phone is always charged and dont have to worry about plugging it in anymore. If you are super vigilant about keeping it fully charged when not attached to phone then you have no worries. I hate cords so this is perfect for me. Didnt know what I was missing till I finally upgraded to a magsafe iPhone.

    Love! It moves a little bit when its on my apple case but never falls off! It hits up a phone (14 pro max) but my phone also hits up when charging so.

    My kids always drains out my battery with their Pokemon games. I would always carry a cable with and pray to find a spot to charge me phone when out running errands. This solves everything! Just a tad heavy for me, but the popsockets resolves it

    Using an unofficial Pixel 7 Magsafe case, it works admirably. Just mind the heat production of wireless charging and you'll be fine. You can also charge from the USB-C port of the pack for more direct charging without Qi related efficiency losses. I love it.

    Bought this as a gift for someone who does Instacart. Never has to worry about battery dying in the store again! Connects to the phone securely and comes off easily too. Well worth the money and isn't as bulky/thick as it looks.

    Good charger, but I have an iPhone 13 mini, so it is a bit longer than my phone. Besides that, it is slim and easily fits in my purse for longer days when I need a bit more juice. The PopSocket makes it easy to use and charge at the same time, but it does get a bit warm if you do this.

    Not What I Hoped For - Too Hot to Handle!

    Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Here's the deal: The Heat: My biggest gripe? This thing gets HOT. And not just a little warm, but uncomfortably hot, especially around the PopSocket. I'm all for toasty, but not when it comes to holding my phone. It got to the point where I had to put it down just to let my hand cool off. Definitely not ideal. Holding It Is a Chore: The whole reason I got excited about the PopSocket feature was the comfort and grip it promised. But with the heat and the extra bulk, it's more of a hassle than a help. Holding my phone for a casual scroll or a video call became a game of "how long can I tolerate this?

    I was excited when i saw item. I am always on the go and need the extra power for when my earphones run out or i have my iPhone going all day. Unfortunately, the battery never recharged. I need to see if my Geek Squad warranty will cover it. Its a bumner because i really wanted to love it as i have my ither Popsocket wallet on my phone all the time.

    This Popsockets and Anker magsafe portable battery is perfect for travel! Since wireless charging is not very fast, Having this use the magsafe to stay on my phone and to be able to hold my phone with the popsocket is genius. This saved me while traveling already. My iPhone 13 Pro was almost dead half way through the day and I popped this on and was good to go the rest of the day!

    Bought this for our Disney trip. Magnet adheres very well. Whether it was on the plane watching movies or listening to music or using the theme park apps for maps and food all day there plenty of battery to keep phone going. Would recommend to anyone.
