The current MagSafe battery pack market is pretty insane right now. There are literally thousands of magnetic power banks all over Amazon. Most of them are the same: they attach to the back of your phone, trickle-charge your iPhone, and get warm the longer they charge. When you look for one on Amazon, they all look like slightly modified versions of the previous one. But every once in a while, you see one that actually looks, feels, and functions differently. That is exactly what the new Sharge IceMag 3 has. It’s fast, has a very unique look, and can do more than just charge your phone. Let’s take a look.

Last year, Nomad introduced an Apple Watch band that I had never seen before. It combined the athletic-minded FKM rubber they use for their sports bands with the high-end, high-quality titanium they use for their Titanium Band, and called it Stratos. This band blew me away, and I’ve used it basically every day since then. Now they are back with a new colorway, and they have just bought their Icy Blue Glow material over to the Stratos band for a limited time. This thing is a showstopper.

I recently pulled the trigger on a new iPhone 17 Pro and upgraded from my iPhone 15 Pro. I spent a lot of time debating between the Pro Max and the smaller screen for extra battery life, but I ultimately decided to stick with the smaller screen for portability.
Personally, I’d love to buy an iPhone 17 mini, but nevertheless. The Max is just too big for my front pocket, and I prefer being able to use the phone with one hand. However, sticking with the smaller battery forced me to rethink my EDC kit. Since I wasn’t going to have the massive cell of the Pro Max, I needed a reliable way to top up during heavy usage days without carrying a massive MagSafe battery in my pocket. I wanted a battery that was slim enough to disappear until I needed it. That search led me to the Anker Nano Power Bank, and I used it heavily at Universal Studios this past weekend.
