The standout of Belkin’s CES 2025 lineup could well be its Stage PowerGrip. Belkin’s new PowerGrip is a MagSafe phone accessory designed to incorporate both MagSafe wireless and wired charging, fun colors, and a nostalgic point-and-shoot design that echoes the iconic picture tools of the past (the Nikon Coolpix, the Fujifilm Instax, the forever-loveable disposable camera, and more). Say cheese!
The PowerGrip, which resembles other products like ShiftCam’s SnapGrip and SnapGrip Pro, features a 10,000 mAh battery capacity, 7.5W magnetic wireless charging, USB-C output ports, a retractable USB-C charging cable, and an LED screen to show battery percentage. It comes in five colors — powder blue, sandbox, fresh yellow, pepper, and lavender — and attaches with MagSafe via a magnetic ring on iPhone 12 models or newer.
Not only does it feature wireless and wired charging, but the PowerGrip can be used as a phone stand or a stabilizer grip for shooting content. Fully embracing nostalgia, it features a shutter button when paired with the iPhone,
The Belkin Stage PowerGrip won’t be available until May 2025 for a price yet to be determined; however, this tech-loving Gen-Z is certain the accessory will make waves this summer — as it looks to be a promising travel companion (perfect for #EuroGirlSummer).
ZDNET will update you on our full review once we can get our hands on the finished product; for now, we’re waiting patiently for the Best of CES awards to see if it snags a nod.
ZDNET’s Sabrina Ortiz, who is on the ground in Las Vegas, said her hands-on experience with the PowerGrip was positive. “The form factor felt great, however, it was still a prototype so I couldn’t test the shutter button.”
