I ditched my bulky power bank for this $35 solution

TL;DR: Save 70% on a portable MagSafe-compatible iPhone charger until September 3.

My purse used to resemble a tech graveyard: A tumbleweed of charging cords and a hefty power bank that weighed me down like an anchor. But the other day, my shoulder was so sore from carrying around my bag, and my cord was so frayed my phone wouldn’t even charge, so I ordered this wireless iPhone charger.

If you remember Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack (they discontinued it), it’s almost identical to that, except it’s way cheaper. You can get one for only $34.97 (reg. $119.95) through September 3 in white, black, or light blue.

This gadget keeps my phone alive no matter what

Instead of digging through my purse to find my brick of a power bank, I just grab this small battery pack and stick it to the back of my phone. When I’m on the subway after work, using my car mount, or sitting at a restaurant, it's so nice not to worry about my ugly, frayed cord getting in the way.

I have the iPhone 13, but my friends with Androids can also use it as a portable wireless charging pad since it supports Qi-enabled devices. I’m everyone’s favorite friend when their phone is about to die.

Something important to note, though, is that if your case isn’t MagSafe-compatible, it won’t magnetically stick. So, if that’s important to you, you’ll have to get one, grab one of those sticky magnetic rings to make your case compatible (which is what I did), or pop your case off when you charge.

While I love this sleek, minimal wireless charger, my old clunker wins in terms of battery capacity. With 5,000mAh on board, I get about one and a half iPhone charges before I have to recharge this battery, but it’s so incredibly lightweight that I think it’s worth the effort. 

Order your magnetic iPhone charger while they’re only $34.97 (reg. $119.95) until September 3 at 11:59 p.m. PT. No coupon is needed for this price drop.
