Belkin has begun shipping its 2026 BoostCharge Slim, a Qi2‑compatible MagSafe battery pack unveiled at CES. The 5000mAh unit adds a built‑in kickstand, letting users prop the iPhone for video or FaceTime without a separate accessory. It arrives in white, sand and black, and ships with a USB‑C charging cable.

Beyond the stand, the Slim delivers 15W wireless power to any iPhone and 20W wired output via its USB‑C port for laptops or earbuds. Dual‑device mode splits the charge, offering 12W to a wired device while supplying 7.5W wirelessly to a second phone. Reviewers note the pack stays cool even under heavy use.

Priced at $54.99, the BoostCharge Slim competes with other 5 000 mAh MagSafe banks but wins on ergonomics; the kickstand eliminates a separate holder. Its soft‑touch silicone rear ensures reliable alignment with Apple’s magnetic array, while the hard‑plastic front protects the case. For iPhone 17 Pro owners seeking a portable, heat‑free charger, Belkin delivers a practical solution.

The addition of a kickstand signals manufacturers listening to consumer demand for multifunctional accessories, especially as iPhone screens grow larger. By bundling wireless and wired outputs in a thin chassis, Belkin positions the BoostCharge Slim as a premium accessory rather than a niche add‑on, potentially raising the bar for future MagSafe power solutions.
