The short answer

The Clutch Pro is the slimmest portable charger that actually works.

Six months of daily testing. The Clutch Pro at ~6mm is the thinnest 5,000 mAh portable charger we've found that ships with MagSafe alignment and a built-in cable. Most 'ultra-thin' competitors fudge the spec — measuring just the screen-side or excluding the magnet bump. Clutch's 6mm is the real, measured thickness across the entire body.

The thinness benchmark

6mm

Most 'slim' competitors measure 8–14mm in practice. Clutch is genuinely 6mm.

What works

Better than expected.

Actually 6mm thick

Most 'thin' competitors measure 8–14mm in real life. Clutch is genuinely 6mm across the whole body.

Built-in cable

USB-C or Lightning integrated. No separate cable. No dongle to lose.

MagSafe alignment

Snaps cleanly to iPhone 12 and later. Holds through bag jostles.

Honest cons

The honest stuff.

Wireless caps at 7.5W

Apple's MFi MagSafe protocol limits non-Apple chargers. PhoneSuit Elite pushes 15W wireless but is 40% thicker.

Designed to be carried

15 colors. Pick yours.

The matte finish hides fingerprints, scuffs, and whatever happens after a long day.
