Gone are the days when gadgets were just about function. Today’s everyday essentials need to spark joy, tell a story, and yes – work brilliantly too. After 9 months of design iterations and engineering breakthroughs, we are excited to introduce the FlexPow Transformable MagSafe Power Bank.

Most charging solutions force you to choose: Either a single-device power bank for mobility, or a bulky multi-device charging dock tied to your desk. FlexPow breaks this compromise with a revolutionary design that delivers both freedom and functionality.

FlexPow reinvents multi-device power bank with an addictively satisfying sliding mechanism inspired by push card games. This isn’t just another gadget – it’s a conversation starter, a desk toy, and a powerful charging solution all in one. The perfectly engineered transformation mechanism delivers a tactile experience that makes every charge a moment of joy. It’s like having a fidget toy that actually powers your devices.

Engineered for the Perfect Click

The heart of FlexPow’s magic lies in its precision-engineered rotating axis. With 12 perfectly calibrated slots and a spring-loaded limiter, each twist delivers a satisfying mechanical click and just the right amount of resistance. That satisfying slide-and-click mechanism isn’t just engineering – it’s a tactile experience you’ll want to play with, a mindful moment in your busy day.

Play While You Power Up

Even when your devices are fully charged, FlexPow becomes your perfect EDC companion. Whether you’re deep in thought during a challenging project, taking a quick mental break, or just fidgeting during a long call, the smooth sliding action and precise mechanical feedback create an oddly satisfying, almost meditative experience. It’s the same comfort you find in clicking a pen or shuffling cards, but elevated to an art form.

With a simple twist, FlexPow transforms from a sleek unified form into a versatile charging station. Charge your iPhone and Apple Watch, or AirPods.

The built-in stand lets you enjoy TikTok while powering up your iPhone and AirPods or Apple Watch simultaneously. Rotate 90 degrees, and you’ve got the perfect Netflix viewing angle – all while charging continues uninterrupted.

Intelligent pass-through charging means you can power both FlexPow and your Apple devices simultaneously.

Fold it into your palm and snap your iPhone magnetically into place, ready to power your urban explorations. Whether using a MagSafe-enabled iPhone or case, the bond is instant and unwavering. No wobble, no slip.

At just 14mm thick, FlexPow slips easily into anywhere, blending portability with bold style. Small enough to slip into your pocket, yet powerful enough to keep you moving.

It’s not just for Apple devices. FlexPow’s USB-C port works both ways – recharge FlexPow, or power up your action camera, Nintendo Switch, or any other USB-C device. It’s truly universal power in your pocket.

FlexPow offers rapid charging with Qi2 wireless charging and USB-C ports, letting you power up any compatible device in record time. 

Crafted from frosted tempered glass and aluminum, FlexPow brings a touch of sophistication to your desk. When not in use, it’s an elegant piece that complements your workspace. When needed, it’s a powerful charging companion that goes wherever you go.

FlexPow has gone through multiple design phases, from concept sketches to initial prototypes. Our aim was always to keep the device compact, intuitive, and multi-functional without compromising on power output.

b. Iterative Upgrades in Action


In T1, we found looseness in rotation and couldn’t capture the desired “click.” With T2, we introduced limit slots and increased the base thickness to secure the hinge firmly. Adding a magnetic piece also enhanced the smoothness, making each rotation and close feel seamless and satisfying.
