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

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.

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.

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.

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!

The pop socket is perfect because it does add a little weight to your phone but with it youre able to hold it perfectly. The magsafe is so convinient! Pop socket is also swapable which is such a nice touch. Always have it with me in my purse and always comes through! :)

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.

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.

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

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.
