Our Verdict
With its modular design, the MagEZ Slider 2 clearly stands out from its competitors. It has a removable power bank and can charge an iPhone, AirPods and an Apple Watch at the same time.
Pitaka takes a modular approach with its MagEZ Slider 2 charging station. It’s a MagSafe-compatible charging station, with a charger that’s also a removable 4,000 mAh power bank that you can take with you.
But it goes even further with the smart design, especially on the back, where there’s another wireless charging area for AirPod cases. Once a small shelf is attached, you can place an AirPods case on it and it will charge. On the side is a USB-C port for charging; Pitaka offers the MagEZ Slider 2 with a USB-C charger for an Apple Watch for an additional fee. But you can plug in any USB-C cable or use the Apple Watch USB-C charger that comes with the Apple Watch.

Its rotating base allows you to face the station in any direction without twisting the power cable. The base can also be locked if you want it to stay facing a certain direction. And the MagEZ Slider 2 has very compact dimensions, occupying only 7.5 by 7.5 cm of table space.
In 30 minutes, the MagEZ Slider 2 charged an empty iPhone 15 battery via MagSafe to 76%. An Apple Watch 7 increased its battery life by 24%.

Should you buy the MagEZ Slider 2?
The modular design clearly sets the MagEZ Slider 2 apart from its competitors. The removable power bank is a nice touch: you don’t have to sit and wait for your iPhone to charge; you can take it with you. It can only serve as an iPhone charger, but you can also use it to charge an Apple Watch and AirPods.
