r/MagSafe

i recently got a magsafe case and discovered it’s possible to attach my phone to metals (like fridges etc.) and was wondering if this is safe to do without damaging my phone? i figured it could come in handy when both hands are full and i’m on a video call, but wanted to check that my phone won’t be affected. thanks!

I’m awaiting a the arrival of a new iPhone and I think I’d like to get some MagSafe accessories… probably a charging cable, likely a car mount, maybe a wallet, possibly a combination charger for my AirPods and watch…

I’m wondering what MagSafe “specs” or hard-to-know-until-you’ve-lived-with-MagSafe factors I should know while shopping around for such accessories? Factors like “a wallet of N thickness or more will almost certainly snag on pockets”, “a magnetic hold of less than N is too little for a car mount due to vibration”, etc.

I’m also open to hearing about some less widely known MagSafe accessories (other than the types I’ve mentioned above) that are excellent.

Thanks!

Got myself a Samsung S26 Ultra with Spigen's Tough Armor a while ago and I'm generally pretty happy. Although, the more research I do into it, the more I'm starting to wonder if the fact my phone, my current case, and in fact most upper end cases keep the magnetic ring hidden isn't a massive design flaw?

Maybe I'm missing something here.

So, the idea that puts the "safe" in MagSafe is related to the battery degradation involved from misaligned wireless charging coils. The magnetic ring is meant to help snap it in place. But what if you can't see the ring? What if you're off? You lose the benefit and still degrade your battery faster.

Asking in good faith because I don't trust the responses from LLM and want to hear some actual people weigh in on this.

I moved into an apartment which uses only RFID key cards. I don’t have a habit of carrying any kind of wallets because I always use Apple Pay and have a physical card in my car in those scenarios I may need to use one. I tried a couple different MagSafe wallets which are bulky and block RFID signals so when my hands are full it’s super annoying to remove the card and unlock the door.

Any slim wallet suggestions that only takes 1 may be 2 cards?

Does anyone know of a good brand that has strong stick on magsafe? I’m planning to make a phone case into a magsafe one. It’s the 2 in one thing with a black lining and a snap on hard case. I basically wanna sandwich it in between.

Kinda like this:

Inner lining -> Magsafe ring -> hard case

It works on a normal metal ring enough but my popsocket slides off if you give it a good amount of pressure. It’s like at medium level. I was wondering if Moft is a good brand for it? Does it have a stronger magnet?

TL;DR: basically, I’m looking for a magsafe that’s strong enough even if you stick it inside your case instead of the outside.

So basically to give some context, decided to get one since I saw it on sale for 20 bucks, since I’m a case-less person but always wanted a stand sometimes for videos/music as I work or just drink a coffee and I didn’t want a full on case or moft wallet, etc. So basically I plan to take it on and off as I actually use it and just slip it into my pocket otherwise (for now at least)

So I bought this and I’m seeing the magnets are quite strong and I’m relatively new to MagSafe removal (only use a MagSafe Belkin charger before) so I was just wondering if removing this accessory do I slide it off or just yank it off.

I know this sounds like a dumb-question guess I just don’t want to either a) break the oh-snap ring or b) just scratch the phone. I don’t really care about “phone aesthetics” but I guess just don’t want to ruin the resale value of my phone lol.

I have a 2016 Toyota Corolla (US model) and I’m having trouble finding a reliable phone mount setup.

The vent design is a bit unusual and so annoying.

The driver-side vent has essentially one thick horizontal slat, and the center vents don’t have deep or sturdy slats either. Because of this, most vent mounts don’t grip properly or feel unstable.

I’m looking for a MagSafe phone mount, ideally with wireless charging. I’ve been browsing budget options (mainly on Temu), but I’m not sure what will actually work long-term.

I previously tried a dashboard adhesive mount, but it keeps falling off in the summer. I suspect this is because:

• the adhesive is low quality
• the dashboard gets very hot
• the surface is slightly textured

After a few days in the heat, it loses grip and falls off.

At this point, I’m considering:

• suction cup mounts (especially ones with a locking mechanism)
• higher-quality adhesive mounts

I’m unsure which direction is better. Specifically:

• Are suction mounts reliable long-term in hot weather?
• Do they also fail over time, or are they easier to maintain?
• Is a high-quality adhesive mount actually more reliable than suction on a textured dashboard?

Most of the options I’m seeing in my budget range (~$8–$15) also raise concerns about weak magnets and inconsistent charging performance.

I’d prefer something that doesn’t block the windshield and can be mounted cleanly on the dashboard.

Any recommendations or experiences would be helpful.

Which MagSafe accessories are actually worth it for daily use? Looking for recommendations!

I was wondering if the Apple wallet fits if you have the arc pulse “case” on iPhone 17 pro? Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to decide between these two ESR 5-card MagSafe wallets and would love your opinions, especially since I’m on a tight budget.

Option 1 (Non-Geo with Stand & Grip):

• Adjustable stand + finger loop

• 5 cards capacity

• No Find My tracking

• Link: https://amzn.in/d/08MZhVRZ

Option 2 (Geo with Full Find My):

• Built-in tracking like AirTag (left behind alerts, play sound, location on map)

• 5 cards capacity

• Slimmer, no stand

• Link: https://amzn.in/d/0eeqx1Ct

Both have strong magnets, RFID blocking, and vegan leather. I mainly need it for daily cards and want something that sticks well to my iPhone.

Questions:

• Is the Find My feature worth the small extra cost and occasional charging?

• Is the stand/finger loop actually useful in daily use?

• Has anyone used either of these long term? Any issues with magnets, durability, or battery?

Would really appreciate your recommendations. Thanks!

I just got back from a hiking trip with my brother and ran into this problem:

Our hotel only had like two outlets by the bed, but between the two of us we had phones, Apple Watches, and sometimes AirPods to charge. In theory we could’ve taken turns charging all the devices, but after a 12-hour hike, we both just showered and passed out. Next morning, both of us had at least one device that didn’t get charged.

So now I’m looking for a good 3-in-1 wireless charger for travel. I checked Amazon and the ESR foldable and Anker ones both look pretty solid. Anyone here used them? How are you guys liking them?

Open to other recs too. Prefer something that charges fairly fast and doesn’t get too hot.
