Torras Ostand MagSafe Power Bank review
Torras’ new MagSafe power banks are elegant and easy to use, keeping your devices fully charged on the go.
From your pocket to your nightstand, a MagSafe charger provides convenient power for your iPhone and AirPods. Founded in 2012, Torras mostly makes screen protectors and cases.
Recently, they brought the Ostand concept from their cases to a MagSafe battery.

The Ostand comes in 10,000mAh and 5,000mAh versions in black, grey, and white colorways. The O-shaped ring on the back and a clear charge status indicator make the Ostand pleasing to the eye.
The MagSafe and USB-C port make the Ostand strictly a 2-in-1 charger. On the 10,000mAh, you can power your devices on 20W wired and 15W wireless, while the 5,000mAh does 7.5W wireless and 15W wired.
The USB-C port also serves as an input and does pass-through charging to your device.

Torras Ostand MagSafe Power Bank review – Charging and use
The 10,000mAh charged my iPhone 14 Pro from 0-50% in around an hour and had an average time of two hours for 0-100%.
Despite its size, I found myself using the 10,000mAh the most since it could reliably double as a desk charger and a portable one with the stand. It holds up to its product claim, charging my iPhone from 0-100% 1.5 times before running out.
Torras Ostand MagSafe Power Bank review – The stands can be used for different angles and uses.
The 5,000mAh makes for a perfect “just in case” charger for your daily carry. It slips in nearly any pocket or bag, reviving my iPhone from 0% to around 70% before giving out.
When it comes to charging use, I’d warn users of any MagSafe charger this summer that use on a hot day can make your iPhone overheat in your pocket, causing charging to stop.
The Ostand itself is surprisingly sturdy and can easily take on most use cases. It has a full range of motion in 360 degrees and can be used as a holder, matching a Pop Socket’s versatility.

For durability, I took the 5,000mAh on a hike in my back pocket, and it could withstand the associated bumps and impacts.
Torras Ostand MagSafe Power Bank review – Good charging with a great stand
I can say that the Ostand Power Bank has the best and most versatile stand compared to other MagSafe batteries I’ve tested. The charging experience is equivalent across most batteries, but making the Ostand hassle-free is what makes it shine.
Both models of Ostand are pretty adaptable. I’d choose the 10,000mAh for heavy-duty charging for trips, while the 5,000mAh makes for a good charger on a long day or to let a friend borrow.
