Qi2-certified StuffCool Odin offers strong magnetic grip and efficient wireless charging
Built-in braided cable doubles as ergonomic grip loop while charging
Flimsy kickstand is Odin’s only real flaw in design
Unless you’re an acrobat, holding a phone attached to a powerbank in a single hand is always problematic. If you’ve ever tried balancing your iPhone mid-air while charging through a powerbank, one eye on its battery and the other on gravity, then StuffCool’s new Odin powerbank might just feel like divine intervention.
SurveyThe Odin is StuffCool’s latest weapon in the portable charging arena – a 10,000mAh powerbank with Qi2-certified MagSafe capabilities, a built-in stand, an integrated braided Type-C cable, and enough wired firepower to juice up your smartphone to 50% in half an hour. On paper, Odin’s an ambitious all-rounder. After a week of real-world testing, it’s also a near-complete package – with one slightly wobbly Achilles’ heel.
Slim, magnetic, and made for the iPhone
Despite its 10,000mAh capacity, Odin manages to keep its footprint remarkably small at 7.0 x 10.8 x 2.0 cm and just 230g. For something that securely magnetizes on the back of an iPhone 15 Pro without turning it into a heavy brick, that’s no small feat. The grip is satisfyingly snug, aided by Qi2 magnets that are strong enough to prevent accidental slips but not so strong you need to dislocate your wrist to detach it.
But there’s more than just stickiness to admire. The integrated Type-C cable – braided, sturdy, and cleanly recessed into the Odin’s side – is a clever design addition. When not in use, it loops around the powerbank’s body and locks into place with an assuring click. When in use, especially with your iPhone in hand, the loop becomes a comfortable resting nook for your thumb, enhancing grip and control. It’s one of those design additions you don’t realize you need until you use it – and then can’t live without.
Wired vs Wireless: The charging experience
StuffCool promises a max 35W wired output via Power Delivery (PD) and PPS. In real use, that translates to some serious hustle. A drained iPhone 15 Pro charged up to 32% in 15 minutes using the built-in cable, consuming the final 7% of Odin’s battery. That’s solid math for an emergency top-up.

Wireless charging is naturally slower – but surprisingly efficient. Across multiple tests, the Odin consistently delivered 55–75% battery to the iPhone 15 Pro in under 2.5 hours, depending on starting charge. In one case, it took the phone from 9% to 92% in 150 minutes, while draining the Odin from 100% to 51%. That’s about 1% battery used per minute of wireless charging – a respectable tradeoff for the freedom of going cord-free, in my opinion.
There’s also good news for Android users. Devices like the Moto G32 (though not PD-enabled) still got a 60% top-up in an hour over the wired Type-C connection. Even AirPods Pro 2, when charged via the built-in Type-C cable, barely sipped Odin’s juice – only a 3% drop while powering the case from 49% to 97%.
During all the charging experience of various devices on the StuffCool Odin, neither the powerbank nor the iPhone or other gadgets overheat on touch, while using them indoors.
A few misses on the StuffCool Odin
Recharging the Odin itself takes time, even when you think you’ve connected it to a fast-charging adapter. Using a 67W Xiaomi adapter, it took 2 hours and 33 minutes to go from zero to full. That’s not the fastest turnaround, but given the 10,000mAh capacity and real-time battery percentage display, you’re unlikely to get caught off guard – unless you forget to plug it in overnight.
If the Odin has a design weak link, it’s the kickstand at its back. Designed to prop up your phone during StandBy Mode or video calls, the stand feels flimsy, under-engineered compared to the rest of the package. It works, but not without fear of breaking when you’re trying to prop it open. Given the polish elsewhere on the product, this oversight stands out.
Should you buy the StuffCool Odin?
At ₹3,799, the StuffCool Odin punches above its weight. It’s Qi2-certified, thoughtfully designed, and built for the modern device ecosystem – Apple or Android. The real charm lies not just in specs, but in the ergonomics: the snug magnetic hold, the braided cable loop, the minimal bulk.
It’s not perfect – the kickstand could use a design rethink, and recharging it demands patience – but those are largely forgivable sins in an otherwise well-rounded product.
