The race for the top power bank just got a style boost with the Belkin Stage PowerGrip unveiled at CES 2025. This snap-on power bank resembles a traditional camera and makes it easier to hold your phone for photos. Plus, it beats our favorite Anker Nano Power Bank with a longer, tuck-away charging cord. It’s launching in May, so it’s a good time to learn more and decide if you want to preorder.
A sleek power bank
To begin with, this portable charger features a 10,000mAh battery, capable of recharging any iPhone at least one and a half times. You can power up your iPhone using its integrated USB-C cable or the MagSafe charging port on the back, enabling the Stage PowerGrip to attach easily to the iPhone 12 and newer models.
The USB-C cable is impressive because it hides completely when not in use. I appreciate how my Anker Nano Power Bank’s cable works as a strap, but cables should be out of sight. This cable extends over a foot and retracts automatically when fully pulled out. You can recharge the Stage PowerGrip with its own USB-C port.

If Belkin had revealed more about the PowerGrip’s price and demonstrated the camera shutter button, it might have been in the running for our best of CES 2025 awards. Watch for our full review.
