Belkin's new PowerGrip is a MagSafe phone accessory that incorporates both MagSafe wireless and wired charging, fun colors, and a nostalgic point-and-shoot design. It 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.
The PowerGrip will be available in May for an undetermined price.

The Torras PolarCircle is a wireless charger designed to ditch the heat. It uses advanced TEC semiconductor cooling to maintain optimal charging temperatures, prevent overheating, and ensure efficient charging. It's also Qi2 certified and provides 15W wireless fast charging that maintains peak performance thanks to the devices' cooling capabilities.
Plus, it's also a 360-degree rotating stand, so you can charge and view at the same time -- all hands-free. The Torras PolarCircle (recently released ahead of CES) is available on Amazon now for $43 (save $17).
The new Anker Charger 140W is a four-port wall charger -- three USB-C ports and one USB-A -- with cables that hang vertically to prevent the charger from falling out of the outlet. According to the brand, this is the first Anker charger with a window display that showcases each port's power output and gauges the remaining power in real time.
To avoid overheating, the charger displays real-time temperature data on the display and uses AI temperature control. The wall charger, which uses GaN technology, retails for $90.
