MagSafe, Apple's innovative feature that uses an array of built-in magnets that allow compatible accessories to snap onto the back of an iPhone seamlessly, allows you to customize your favorite gadget in incredible new ways. Save for the iPhone SE, every new iPhone on sale has MagSafe.
Apple launched a stellar selection of MagSafe accessories alongside the iPhone 12, with big-name accessory makers immediately following suit. Today, there’s an incredible, constantly growing selection of MagSafe-compatible offerings, and we always keep an eye out for and test new products to determine the best ones worth buying.
From chargers and stands that redefine convenience, to a minimalist snap-on wallet, these are the best MagSafe accessories that every new iPhone owner must have on their radar. All are compatible with the latest iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro that precedes them, and older iterations like the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 mini.
Apple's own MagSafe charger is a must-have for iPhone 12 owners. It is designed to seamlessly attach to the latest iPhones with impeccably aligned magnets. It has a maximum power output of 15 watts, so it's plenty fast, too.
The accessory uses Qi wireless charging tech, so it will still work with AirPods and iPhone models without MagSafe. It has a built-in cable and a USB-C connector but no bundled power adapter. Apple recommends this reasonably priced option.
Apple’s slim and luxurious leather wallet with MagSafe is the best worth your attention. The accessory has enough space for two or three essential cards and built-in tech to protect them. Plus, it is compatible with Apple’s Find My service, allowing you to keep tabs on it like an AirTag.
The leather wallet has sturdy magnets to attach easily to the back of a compatible iPhone with or without a MagSafe case. You can order it in midnight, golden brown, dark cherry, green, and purple.
This 2-in-1 wireless charger by Belkin can simultaneously charge an iPhone and a set of AirPods. It has an elegant design with stainless steel bits and impeccable build quality.
We like that this wireless charger can hold MagSafe-toting iPhones in landscape or portrait mode. A version with an added Apple Watch dock is also available.
The Nomad Leather Folio is deservedly our favorite iPhone wallet case, and MagSafe compatibility is one of the many reasons we like it. The futureproof accessory is crafted from full-grain leather, which will develop a unique patina as it ages. It has slots for a trio of cards, a pocket for cash, and a removable magnetic closure.
PopSockets have been synonymous with improved iPhone handling for years, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that the PopGrip is the MagSafe accessory to get if you are constantly glued to your iPhone. The do-everything product will not only enhance the handling of your favorite gadget but also double as a viewing kickstand.
The PopGrip has a slim profile, a lightweight build, and super strong magnets for a secure fit. It is available in many finishes, ranging from an understated clear option to the eye-catching All Smiles design pictured here.
Available in iPhone-matching colors, the Anker 622 magnetic battery pack will seamlessly attach to the back of any MagSafe-toting Phone and charge it. The accessory is also compatible with MagSafe protective cases. Best of all, it has an integrated stand that can hold your iPhone in landscape or portrait mode.
The product has an ample 5,000 mAh capacity, a USB-C connector for replenishing its battery and wired charging of other gadgets, and a bundled USB-C cable. Anker backs it with a 2-year warranty.
Equipped with the strongest magnets in the business
Virtually impossible to damage
Plenty of storage capacity
Cons
Some might find the design too utilitarian
This magnetic wallet by Pelican is hands down the most rugged option for storing your essential cards alongside your MagSafe-equipped iPhone. The accessory is fully waterproof and impossibly tough. Better yet, its magnets are the strongest in the business, ensuring that the wallet will stay in place if you drop your iPhone.
The dual-compartment interior of the wallet has space for several cards and cash. It has a sturdy snap-on closure.
Sleek design is a perfect match for Apple hardware
Cons
MagSafe charger costs extra
The unbelievably affordable aluminum dock by Satechi will ensure that your Apple MagSafe charger is always in place. The minimalist accessory has a sleek all-metal design that will perfectly complement not only your iPhone but also any iPad or MacBook.
On the other hand, the product's base has micro-suction padding for a reliable grip on just about any surface. Setting up the dock is a quick and easy process.
The Caseology Mag case has an impressive design with a slim profile and a textured back that will dramatically improve the way your iPhone handles. Another bit I like about the product is its impulse-buy price tag, which frequently hovers below $20. You can order it in black, blue, and burgundy (pictured here).
Designed to meet military-grade durability standards, the case offers solid protection against scratches and drops for your iPhone. The product is available for the entire iPhone 14 lineup.
The Apple Leather Case is consistently among the most stylish options for protecting your iPhone. As expected, the MagSafe-compatible variants of the popular accessory are even more convenient. You can order the product for any iPhone with MagSafe on board.
Available in several colors, the case has a slim profile and feels great to hold. Like all leather accessories, it will develop a unique patina over time, ensuring that no other case looks the same.
The Peak Design mobile wallet is deservedly one of our favorite MagSafe accessories, offering ample card capacity (it fits up to 7 cards), an eco-friendly recycled nylon build, and a versatile design with a foldable iPhone stand. Impressively, the latter offers three viewing modes: landscape, portrait, and floating.
If you are looking for a cheaper and more versatile alternative to the Apple MagSafe charger, consider this Belkin offering. The BOOST↑CHARGE magnetic wireless charger has a 2-meter cable that’s twice as long, as well as a bundled power adapter.
However, be mindful that the accessory is a tad bulkier and, with a 7.5-watt power output, is not as fast. Belkin backs the product with a 2-year warranty.
The MagSafe-compatible Speck Gemshell case will protect and show off your iPhone. According to its maker, the accessory can help the gadget survive drops from up to 8 feet. Additionally, it has Microban antimicrobial tech, which reduces the growth of bacteria on its surface.
Belkin’s Car Vent Mount PRO is an incredibly convenient MagSafe accessory for drivers. It has high-quality magnets and a strong ball joint, allowing users to easily view their iPhone in landscape or portrait mode.
The Car Vent Mount PRO also has a surprisingly sleek design and a clever cable management setup. Belkin backs its creation with a 2-year warranty.
Apple’s MagSafe Duo Charger can simultaneously charge your iPhone and Apple Watch. It folds in half when not in use, so it’s as easy to store as it gets. It’s a great travel accessory, too.
We like that the gadget can charge the Apple Watch on its side or face up. The MagSafe Duo Charger comes bundled with a USB-C to Lightning cable. However, it lacks a wall charger.
The Grovemade wood MagSafe stand is a beautifully designed accessory for your workspace setup. Meticulously crafted in Oregon, the accessory has a stainless steel base and stand, leather and wood accents, and a natural cork base. It weighs almost 3 pounds, and it will stay in place on any surface.
Available with sanded maple or walnut wood accents, the product works with Apple’s MagSafe charger (not included), and it can hold your iPhone in landscape or portrait mode. If you prefer to charge it while flat, Grovemade has an equally great MagSafe charging dock.
Made using genuine carbon fiber, this thin case by Monocarbon is cool, high-tech, and rugged in equal measure. The MagSafe product has convenient sides with a 3D texture to prevent you from accidentally dropping your phone.
