Belkin’s new accessory is a magnetic power bank and camera socket in one

Belkin has a new phone accessory at CES 2025 which somehow brings something fresh to the crowded field of magnetic charging accessories (in other words, MagSafe and alternatives not certified by Apple). The company’s Stage PowerGrip is a wireless power bank, camera-like socket and stand rolled into one. It also has a small screen and comes in several fun colors.

Belkin presents the PowerGrip as an accessory for creators and travelers. While modern smartphones are all most people need for photography, holding a candy-bar-shaped phone in landscape mode for long periods doesn’t feel as comfortable or natural as hand-held stronger than one dedicated room. This accessory remedies that with a large bulge similar to what you will find on a DSLR or mirrorless camera.

Inside that lump is its 10,000mAh battery, which offers 7.5W magnetic wireless charging. An LED on its backside gives you a quick way to check its battery level. And a retractable USB-C cable is included in the accessory, so you don’t have to remember to throw a separate one in your bag.

Belkin says the PowerGrip will be available in powder blue, sandbox, cool yellow, pepper and lavender (the company’s press image also shows a sixth black option). It is expected to ship this May. Unfortunately, Belkin has yet to announce pricing.
