Scosche PowerUp 200 Review
If you want a MagSafe power bank thin enough that it doesn't feel like a brick stuck to the back of your phone, the Scosche PowerUp 200 is under 10mm thick.
Most magnetic power banks add real bulk since they need both a battery and a magnet ring; the PowerUp 200 keeps that stack under 10mm by capping capacity at 5,000mAh, roughly half an iPhone charge, in exchange for a genuinely pocketable, low-profile shape that doesn't feel like carrying two phones.
The Slim vs. Capacity Tradeoff
5,000mAh is on the low end for a dedicated power bank, but that's the direct cost of the sub-10mm profile. Anyone wanting this in a pocket alongside a phone, rather than in a bag, is trading capacity for a shape that doesn't add noticeable bulk.
Comparison to Alternatives
The Anker MagGo and UGREEN Uno Magnetic Wireless both use similar magnetic attachment but run thicker with larger cells (10,000mAh+) aimed at all-day use rather than pocket carry. The PowerUp 200 is the pick specifically for people who want the thinnest possible magnetic bank and are fine topping off rather than fully recharging.
