I'm interested in whether or not you could put one of these between the layers of a two layer case, an otterbox commuter for example. Are any of these rings thin enough to do this yet strong enough to still hold? Would be interesting to test.
Very unlikely, and the wireless charging wouldnt be able to go through the thickness of that kind of case. My authority on this is that ive played with magnets a lot
@@chunkycheesemonkey99 my bud has a 2 layer otterbox, and wireless charging works fine with hit. the main thing idk of is if it is thin enough to fit between the 2 layers.
Got one of these and the downside is that with this on a plastic case for my iPhone se - I can no longer charge my phone reliably on wireless charge pads (for example the one from IKEA) - the charge light will turn on but the distance it too far so it basically seems to give up after a while.
I purchased the mophie - Snap Adapters for MagSafe Compatibility two magnetic ring set from Best Buy retail yesterday new in the retail box and stick it to the glass back of an brand new 4th gen iPhone SE and that s&;! keeps coming off the glass iPhone back even when cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and completely drying. This crap is going back under a return! We’ll see if ohsnap! Phone grip works any better!
Super helpful video. Watched your previous one on the ESR & Spigen, I sware by Spigen and they are my go too brand but I think this one away it more for me. Used Mophie in the past great products. My girlfriend recently got her iPhone 14 pro and wants to use with a non MagSafe case so this is perfect- thanks Chris! 👍🏻
iPhone has a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic - oil repellent - coating means any of these sticky rings will come off easily. Best to get a bumper case with the mag safe ring embedded into the actual case.
do you know any MagSafe car chargers that supports charging and is not limited to iPhone 12 - 15 series only ? I bought both ESR HaloLock Magnetic ring (the nice looking one) to pair it with my ESR HaloLock Car charger with CryoBoost. it was disappointing that to find that it was not working. the charger keeps flashing instead of pulsing telling me that it detects incompatible device. I'm trying to find the scientific reason on why it would not work as it only involves magnetic attachment. I use the thin TPU clear case to attach the ring but no luck either. my iPhone is XS Max
@@thechristaft hey, i think me means, like. if its on the back of your phone, can you walk up to something metal and just stick your phone to it. not stick it to metal via the adhesive, but by the magnet. id like to know the answer too, thanks
@@thechristaft okay, I currently have an s22 ultra with a mous case. I want to get mag safe for it. But I'm not sure what the best route to go is. I'm not sure how well the magnets hold so idk if I should get the magnetic one to make it stronger, or the spigen. I like them both. Buy I like the strength of this one, but the thinner/cheaper spigen... any idea what would be better for me? Thabks
Did the ring stay attached to the back of the Aramid cover Case? I read that it has to be a thin plastic case or it won't hold on to the back of the case. Also if it doesn't stay on the case could u use alittle superglue on it? I have the Samsung aramid case and want to know if i need glue or not.
@@thechristaft thank you. I've read elsewhere that morphie ring is sharp to the touch. Did you find it sharp? And if it is, could it be placed on the inside of the case to overcome the issue of sharpness?
There are some sharp edges, I wouldn’t recommend inside the case as I think it is too thick. The Spigen ring was the thinnest and least sharp ring that I tried. And the hold was strong enough if you want to go that route.
Are there any rings that you can put on the inside of a case so that it doesn’t have the appearance on the outside of the case but you could still use mag safe accessories? Or is everything just for outside. I have a Lohasic case that has nice material on outside that looks good when I don’t have MagSafe on it but it’s not strong enough for the MagSafe wallet or battery
Are you using an iPhone or another phone? If your phone is already MagSafe, I don't think adding the ring to the inside will increase the magnetic strength, but if your phone is not Magsafe out of the box, then applying the ring to the back of your phone would help. Thanks for watching!
Question: I have a DIY project I'm hoping trying to pull off. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Plus, so it has MagSafe on the back already. I don't use a case. However, at work (I serve tables), I use a server sleeve/pad. I'm attempting to replace the paper pad with my iPhone. So I was going to tuck one of these (or glue) rings on the inside pouch of the server sleeve so that when I put my phone where the paper usually sits, it would actually stick to my sleeve because of the magnet I've glued on the inside of the sleeve. Hard to explain... not sure if you follow haha. In short, would I be able to use these rings as makeshift magnets? Or do they not work that way?
Cooper, thx for asking, so they do connect magnetically to your phone. I’m not sure how much jumbling would occur in what you outlined and if they could handle that, but as long as you are a little careful I think it could work. I would go with the rings made by Mophie as the rings are magnetic themselves so you’ll get a stronger hold.
@@bencronkhite8139I have read if u use just a metal ring it will get hot but if u use the magnetic rings it doesn't. I just bought some magnetic rings and I'm hoping it doesn't get as hot as a plan metal. If u have tried it can u let me know how it wet..
It has a very strong hold and can be difficult to remove, but I have removed mine a couple of times and if there was any residue left behind it came off. It does ruin the ring to take it off though because you basically have to destroy it to get it off. Thanks for asking, hope that helps!
@@thechristaft Did it reck your Aramid cover at all when taking it off and dose it stay on the case good? I read that it has to be a plain plastic case to work. I just got a Aramid Samsung case and want to know if it doesn't hold good could u use so type of glue to hood it better?
Not much at all, at least I don't notice it. I do notice the ring when I don't have the wallet on there. It does have a small presence and sticks out just a tiny bit from the back.
@@thechristafthave you run into issues with any of these third party rings doing damage to the phones battery? (I do not truly understand who magnets and metal work when it comes to passing electricity)
I have not noticed any issues with my phone, but I can't definitively say it's not possible. I will say in a non-scientific manor that it's the metal ring interacting with the charging coil, not directly with your battery. I believe phones have built in safety measures to control charging levels coming from the coil. If I find more information I'll share it.
In your opinion, if I slap this on the back on a case for the s22 ultra just to use with a MagSafe charger and Anker ring, do you think there will be a good connection between the anker ring and this magnet?
I was searching for magsafe rings and found spigen and sinjimoru ones. Do you know what of them is best in term of durability of adhesive and strength of field?
I am not familiar with sinjimoru, but will say the Spigen rings have a very strong adhesive. In terms of strength of field, the Spigen ring is metallic, not magnetic, so it's more dependent on the accessory's magnetic strength. The Mophie ring is magnetic so would have a stronger hold.

Since you have two of them could you measure the thickness of the MagSafe magnet to see if it’s thicker than the later-case please 🙏
One big downside of this is the ring is kinda sharp. When I installed it I tried pushing hard and running my finger along the edge and cut myself.
Totally agree! It is too thick.
Would you say the Mophie ring holds better than the ESR or SPIGEN rings or are they on a par?
I’d say all three are on par to be honest, didn’t have any issues with any of the ring adapters.

Since it’s magnets and not just a steel ring. I’m assuming you can stick the phone onto steel. Like on a fridge or a car?
You can, it’s not as stable as I would like though.

What is the best thickness for the circle? 2mm or 3mm or 4mm?
I’ll have to measure.
I see you test alot of magsafe products like this,how is the heat dissipation when it comes to rhese rings?

my iPhone is XS Max
The TPU clear case you are using, does it have the MagSafe ring built into it?
@@thechristaft nope, simple thin TPU clear case with the ESR Magnetic Ring attachs to it
Can you stick this directly to a metal surface? Will it hold the phone up?
You can stick it directly to metal or the back of your phone. It's hard to get off though so keep that in mind.
@@thechristaft hey, i think me means, like. if its on the back of your phone, can you walk up to something metal and just stick your phone to it. not stick it to metal via the adhesive, but by the magnet. id like to know the answer too, thanks
Great question, just tested it out, it will cling to a metal surface, but doesn’t quite hold the weight, so slips off.

How much better is it than with out a magnet does accessorizes still stick
I can definitely tell a difference with it on. It adds much stronger hold,
Which one do you recommend (has stronger magnet / hold ) compared with esr , Spigen offerings?
The ESR and Spigen rings aren’t magnetic, my choice at this point would be to go with Mophie if I was going to order another set.

Is this Ganna mess with my regular wireless chargers
It shouldn’t interfere with regular qi wireless chargers
So are u sure it will work in gym and kitchen and will work with all metal surface?
I’ll test it out for you tomorrow… it’s at the office right now.
Heads up, tested it out, the mophie ring does stick to metal, but it doesn’t hold the weight and slips off.

Is this ring safe to use with older Qi chargers? They warm against putting metal or magnets in between the phone and wireless charger.
Great question, haven't tested with older chargers, good observation.
Have you tried this yet? I am wondering as well

Would this fit otterbox case?
I haven’t used an otterbox, but assuming it has a flat back surface, then it should be fine.
Does it leave residue on the case when you remove it?? I saw them at best but for 14.99 and I really wanna pick them up

How about with spigen ring? You said it’s thinner than most of the rings you’ve tried. Will it do the job just fine with latercase?
Yes, definitely, Spigen ring is thinner and while not magnetic itself, still provides great extra hold.

So this ring in addition to an anklet ring and a MagSafe charger? I’m think that might be too many layers, but not completely sure.
@@thechristaft case + MagSafe ring with anker ring. Take off the ring, and then charge.
Okay, yeah, that makes sense, yeah that should work fine.

The reason the later case works marginally is because carbon fiber doesn't inhibit magnetic fields and is a semiconductor.
Good to know, yeah, Latercase has worked great for me and MagSafe.

Uhh... Bro it's magnetic. Mine is sticking to metal, c'mon
These things suck... If have a really smooth case the magnets don't stick at all. The coarser the case the better
