Speck’s StandyBank: A Smart MagSafe Charger with a Kickstand

Keeping your phone charged all day can be a real struggle. A dead battery can be a significant inconvenience; whether you’re trying to order an Uber while on vacation or waiting for an important phone call, we all rely on our phones to work. Thus, having an external battery pack with you can offer a simple, effective way to stay powered without searching for an outlet.

Speck, a company known for its long history of making durable and innovative phone accessories, now offers a new solution with the introduction of StandyBank. A Portable Wireless Charger for MagSafe. It combines a compact design, a strong MagSafe connection, and a built-in kickstand.

The StandyBank has a 5000 mAh battery built-in and delivers up to 15W of wireless power to MagSafe-compatible iPhones. No cables, no extra steps—snap it on and charge. It is small enough to fit in a pocket but powerful enough to extend battery life significantly.

A feature that I love is the built-in kickstand. Unlike many other portable chargers on the market, the addition of the kickstand means I can prop up the phone at a comfortable angle, making it easy to watch videos, take video calls, or use StandBy mode while charging. Unlike many wireless battery packs, it supports both portrait and landscape viewing.

Users will enjoy the enhanced magnetic connection when they use the StandyBank with Speck’s ClickLock cases. This is achieved by combining a magnetic hold with an interlocking pin to create a more secure grip. Of course, you are not limited to just using the StandyBank with only Speck cases; it will work perfectly well with any MagSafe-compatible case.

The LED indicator lights on the top show the remaining battery life; each LED light represents approximately 25% charge. The charger recharges via USB-C, with a cable in the box. The simple and functional setup designed is great for everyday use. Because the StandyBank adds minimal bulk, it is easy to take with you as a backup power source.

The StandyBank has some important intelligent features that offer a power management system that optimizes charging efficiency while preventing overheating. The secure attachment ensures uninterrupted charging even when the phone is in motion, making it ideal for users who are always on the go.

The Speck StandyBank is more than just a charger. It’s a practical, well-designed tool for keeping an iPhone powered and accessible throughout the day, whether at home, on vacation, or on the move. The StandyBank is a great accessory to have with you.
