What you're actually getting here

A 10000mAh power bank that snaps magnetically onto the back of your iPhone and charges it wirelessly. No fumbling for a cable on the Tube, no rooting around your bag at 6am. It just sticks. For Android users, you'll need the USB-C cable like everyone else, so this one is really aimed at iPhone folk.

Personally, I think the magnetic form factor is where it earns its keep. I had a cheap wireless bank before this style came along, and it would slide off my phone the second I put it on a table at an angle. The MagSafe-compatible snap here is proper firm, which matters more than it sounds.

Honest reservations

Look, 10W wireless output is decent but not fast. If you're expecting your phone to rocket from 10% to 80% in half an hour, you'll be disappointed. This is more of a slow top-up companion than an emergency rescue device. Pop it on while you're watching something, not when you're about to rush out the door.

Also no official "was" price to anchor against here, so whether £17.97 is a screaming deal depends a bit on what you were expecting to pay. For context, comparable MagSafe-compatible banks from less-known brands sit around this price, while bigger names charge considerably more. UGREEN's reputation in charging kit is solid, not flashy.

Who should buy it

IPhone users who commute, travel light, or just hate cables cluttering a bag. Not for power users who need a full recharge fast, and not really for Android unless you're happy going wired.
