    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

    Absolute worst charger. I purchased this to use as a MagSafe charger, as I lost my Apple MagSafe charger on a prior vacation. I should have checked this before going on vacation, and now we are past the return period, but the first time I went to use this I placed it on the back of my MagSafe case, and after 7 minutes or so I got the “Charging on hold, will resume when iPhone returns to a normal temperature” error message. I was sitting in an air conditioned airplane terminal, so it wasn’t like my phone was hot beforehand. After 20 minutes it still wouldn’t charge via MagSafe. You can still charge a phone with a USB-C cable, but that defeats the purpose of even owning this. Lastly, the magnet wasn’t very strong, so even if it would have charged my phone you had to be careful, as your phone is only one light touch from sliding off the charger.

    So much better than Apple charger. The pocket is perfect to help hold phone more comfortably and ergonomically as well as it’s ability to hold up phone in landscape position for watching videos.

    This is an ok option when you need a quick charge on the go but it has a tendency to overheat. You will also only get one good charge out of this device and it will take a little longer to charge.

    BEWARE! This item is not returnable to Best Buy. Even though there are no indications anywhere that this is the case, they will not accept returns on this item. I got a couple not real excuses, such as: PopSockets are not returnable or this exceeds 300KWH (this produces 18.5KWH). So just a warning that if you buy and don't like the item, you will be unable to return it.

    Love the charging, but the magnets are so weak that it can barely hold on. Using the pop socket feels like you’re risking your phone every time

      Thank you for your review! We are sorry that your PopSockets Anker magnet seems to be weak, and for the inconvenience this may have caused you. That should not happen. Please make sure you are using a MagSafe compatible case or phone for that item to work and that you place the Anker correctly on the case or phone. If above does not apply, then the item might be defective. Please return it to BestBuy or contact us at cs@popsockets.com. We'll be happy to assist.
