Belkin's Stage PowerGrip gives an iPhone a camera-like handle and combines it with a battery. A physical Bluetooth shutter button changes how the phone is held, while the magnetic back keeps the grip attached during a walk. The same accessory can also prop the phone on a table. It is a playful object with a clear purpose.
Belkin lists a 9300mAh battery, up to 15W wireless output and a retractable USB-C cable. Those figures describe the accessory, not how much extra runtime every iPhone will receive. Wireless charging loses some energy as heat, and the phone's own limits shape the charging rate. Belkin's support pages give the exact compatibility and charging details.
The shutter is most valuable when you want to hold the phone in one hand and shoot without tapping the screen. A strap and substantial grip can help on a long photo walk. They also add a noticeable block behind a device that is otherwise easy to pocket. This is a camera-day accessory, not a subtle everyday MagSafe wallet.
Independent comparisons with other phone grips focus on how comfortably the handle sits in the hand and how quickly the phone can be removed. Those are useful questions to ask before being impressed by the battery number. Check that your case has a reliable magnetic hold, and pair the shutter before leaving for a shoot.

Stage PowerGrip bundles a grip, stand and backup power for a city trip. If the priority is the smallest possible battery, a plain magnetic pack will carry more easily. The PowerGrip is for people who actually use the shutter.
