The verdict at a glance

Clutch Pro is thinner, larger capacity, and better designed.

iWalk's LinkPod popularized the 'mini' portable charger category, but at ~17mm thick it's still a brick compared to the Clutch Pro at ~6mm. The Clutch has more capacity, MagSafe, and a built-in cable that doesn't bend awkwardly. iWalk only wins on price.
