The camping problem

Tent + dust + drained phone.

Camping means your phone is the map, the weather, the AllTrails, the family group chat. There's no AC outlet. Car camping lets you USB-charge from the dash. Tent-only trips mean a power bank is your only top-up.

What matters

Slim + USB-C in + tough finish.

Pocket-sized

Slips into a hip belt, vest, or jacket pocket.

MagSafe

Snap to your iPhone in camp — no cable to lose in the dust.

Wipes clean

Matte finish takes dust and dirt. Wipe and pack.

Designed to be carried

15 colors. Pick yours.

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

From the firepit to the trail.

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

Questions answered

Frequently asked

Will the Clutch Pro last all day at a camping day?

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.
