Similarly to other frequent fliers, my must-have entertainment items for a long day of travel include noise-canceling headphones, an e-reader, my laptop, and, of course, my phone. Keeping the battery on all of these electronic devices alive can feel like a full-time job, which is why seasoned travelers like me know the importance of portable chargers that can quickly add juice to a low battery.

Although portable batteries are essential, I’ve always struggled with how bulky and heavy some models are, especially when they use the same long cord from my wall charger. That’s why I was so excited to try out Clutch’s ultra-thin portable charger, which proved to be a convenient solution to this problem. And right now, shoppers can take advantage of the brand’s buy one, get one 50 percent off sale with the code BOGO50 at checkout.

Clutch Pro USB-C Charger

This sleek, 3.7-ounce charger adds practically no weight or bulk to my phone. But the highlight of the product is how well it magnetizes to the back of my phone while I’m using it. The attached USB cable is just long enough to plug in but doesn’t dangle or wrap around my phone, which is a huge pro for me. Both my phone and its case are compatible with magnetic chargers, but it also comes with an adhesive ring to attach to your device if needed. 

While the charger is useful in my day-to-day life, it’s quickly become a staple for traveling. Since it’s so small, it takes up virtually no space in my carry-on bag, and I love that I can attach it to my phone while exploring a new city with ease. Since the charger is powered by a lithium battery, it can’t be stored in a checked bag, which isn’t an issue for me, since I like to have it on-hand while flying or driving anyway. 

The portable charger’s convenience and thin design makes it well worth it in my opinion, though it isn’t quite as powerful as other chargers I’ve tried in the past. The battery itself charges quickly, but it takes a bit longer to charge my phone. I don’t rely on the Clutch as my sole source of power, but it’s incredibly helpful to have in a pinch. 

Hundreds of shoppers agree that it’s a convenient item to have while traveling, with more than 560 people giving the charger a perfect review. One customer said they are actually able to get a full charge on their iPhone 15, adding that it’s “super thin” and “fits in [their] belt bag or pocket with no added bulk.”
