The Burning Man problem

Off-grid, dust, week-long.

Black Rock City has no grid. Your camp may run a generator, but most playa-goers depend on car USB charging and brought-in solar. Your phone hides in airplane mode most of the day but you'll want photos, time, and the Burner Map periodically.

What matters

Pack two. Rotate.

Bring two banks

One charging from your car battery / solar, one in use.

Slim profile

Fits in a fanny pack or sling for nighttime art tours.

MagSafe = no cables

Cables collect dust. MagSafe snaps clean.

Solar friendly

Charges from a USB-C solar panel.

The Clutch Pro accepts USB-C PD input from most camp solar setups. Top it up during the day, use it at night for The Man burn photos.

Designed to be carried

15 colors. Pick yours.

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

From the temple to The Man.

Slim, magnetic, ≈18.5 Wh — the Clutch Pro keeps your phone alive through every Burning Man moment.

Questions answered

Frequently asked

Will the Clutch Pro last all day at Burning Man?

Yes for most users. The 5,000 mAh Clutch Pro delivers about 1.2 full iPhone charges or 1.5 Galaxy charges. Pair it with a low-power mode hour and you'll easily clear 16+ hours of heavy use.

Is it MagSafe?

Yes — magnetic alignment with iPhone 12 and later. Snap and go, no cables needed for the phone-to-charger connection.

How fast does it charge my phone?

USB-C PD up to 20W out — about 50% on an iPhone in 30 minutes. MagSafe is closer to 7.5W; great for top-ups while you keep moving.

Is it TSA-approved for the flight there?

Yes. The Clutch Pro is ≈18.5 Wh (5,000 mAh × 3.7V) — well under TSA's 100 Wh carry-on limit and every major airline's per-bank cap.
