As someone who doesn't use phone cases, Magsafe is like magic for things like car mounts. Not having to have any crap attached to the phone to attach it to things is just awesome
As an aside, there are magsafe compatible cases for iphones (as mentioned in the video), so you don't have to go caseless to take advantage of magsafe.
Yo…..that opening….. Love how you laid out the whole feature list of MagSafe and how to use it. So many people I know don’t even know they have it in their iPhones, or how it works best with cases. So glad you put this in here! ❤👏🏾🙌🏾
I use a MagSafe pop-socket wallet. It’s great for me as it allows me to hold a few cards and a pop socket I can take off when needed. I highly recommend it!
Really appreciate this video!! I’ve looked at all of these things over the past year, but it’s great to see it all wrapped up in one place. Keep up the great work!
This was a great video. In my case, it’s rare that I stay for the whole video when it’s a review/info type of video, especially when the information I’m specifically looking for is presented early. You did a very good job on this and presented everything in a way that kept me interested in other parts that I wasn’t looking for. Thank you.
I honestly prefer the Apple MagSafe battery pack. It’s more of a extender than a charger and is better on your battery health as it doesn’t get as hot like Anker and other brands.
@@AzamKhan-sy2tb most people I know do. But that a choice everyone makes for themselves. But if you keep it longer. A battery replacement isn’t that expensive
Having just upgraded from the XS to a 13 Mini, I’ve already got myself a few MagSafe items. I’m not a lover of full cases so, since getting my XS, have been using a bumper and grip. The grip is now MagSafe., and I’ve got a matching car mount. Plus, I have a MagSafe battery bank that doubles as a stand to trigger standby mode when I’m home. I also got myself a MagSafe tripod to - among other things - film my friend’s band. However, with the 13’s added stability, i might just need to hold it. Thanks for the content!
I have the Anker Magsafe powerbank 621 and I mostly use it with a really short wired cable. I just like its magsafe compatibility while also being thin so I can just use it when out and about without having to worry about heating or slow charging.
Same setting with my 633. I only use wireless charging if I forgot to bring my short cable. Even with wireless charging, my phone don’t really get hot since i always turned off my data/wifi whenever I’m charging my phone.
I’m a flight attendant and have the Ucomx since January’23 for my hotel stays and since I don’t need fast charging overnight it has worked well, hasn’t colored, and held up well. I charge 2 iPhones and my watch on it as. Depending on EarPods use them also. It also does landscape which so far has worked for standby mode if I’m only charging my iPhone and watch
I’ve had a MagSafe iPhone for years without using the feature. I’ve just changed my iPhone 14 Pro case to a clear ESR MagSafe one. It has a really strong magnet and makes my phone look new! I’ve attached a lamicall magnetic finger grip with kickstand and it’s amazing. So comfy to hold my phone and it feels so safe! Bought from Amazon for under £15. Found it much more tactile than the pop socket which I sent back.
I just bought my first Magsafe case when upgrading to the 15 Pro Max based on a recommendation from a fellow military veteran and it's an ESR brand one. You are absolutely correct about how strong the magnetic connection is. I love it plus the ESR case doesn't feel as brittle or rigid compared to other cases I have tried.
While I agree with nearly everything in this video, I have a MagSafe charger on my nightstand, on my desk at work, and I keep the little puck in my bag as well. I haven’t plugged in my iPhone a single time since I bought it. It’s definitely a good way to charge your phone assuming you have even somewhat consistent charging habits. That being said, it is NOT fast
I was really excited for magsafe when first announced, but years later still don’t own a single magsafe accessory. The Anker power bank is probably the most appealing to me, but I’ve still got a wired one from 6 years ago that works fine and can also charge my camera or Switch in a pinch. The wallet also looks kinda nice, but I need to carry more cards than it can hold, and cash.
I’ve really gotten into MagSafe, sometime during my iPhone 14 Pro ownership. I never used it for years, now I have a whole collection. I don’t necessarily need it though and there’s only one MagSafe product that I never want to be without again, that’s a MagSafe charging dock next to my bed and a car version. I always liked the iPhone docks from the 3gs days, but MagSafe is such a cleaner, more streamlined product.
The anker box with watch charger is on my Nightstand. Love it! Have several battery packs and mini iPad stands. Anker has a portable MagSafe watch charger
An android user here. I used a magsafe charger to wirelessly charge my Samsung S20FE. I think they work well with other Wireless charging capable devices
I have the Belkin Boost charge pro 2-1 stand. Quite conveniency. Before I go to bed, I put my iPhone 15 on the MagSafe and the AirPods Pro on the qi stand. Next morning the iPhone 15 is back at 80 percent and the AirPods Pro are completely full.
The Belkin Charge Stand has been on my desk for the past year and I absolutely love it. I also own the Anker Cube and have traveled with it to several countries and states and it's holding up great with no issue.
My UCOMX travel charger has actually lasted longer than the MagSafe Duo and still going strong without any issues so far. Definitely a good alternative to an all-in-one travel charger for a fraction of the Apple one
100% this. We have 4 of them, in 4 different colors, comes with us everywhere. Its USB C, too, so you can even bypass the charger and plug your phone in direct, if you want faster cable charging. Quailty is better than average. Recommneded.
Thanks I’m new to MagSafe since I just replaced my 11 pro to 15 pro max. And I just ordered a case with o ring kickstand. I thought the o ring wasn’t magnetic but the magnet doesn’t seem strong enough. This video made me realize they have MagSafe stickers. I may order one to attach on the o ring and see if it’ll make it stronger
I found the quality of non licensed MagSafe charging products to be quite variable and not long lasting ie sometimes they just stop working intermittently after a few months. My Belkin stand (the tree) has been rock solid though. Esr also seems good so far with their battery pack.
After much research I purchased the Belkin 3 in 1 tree designed Masafe charger in blakc and I love it. I am just getting into Magsafe accesories after upgrading to a 15 Pro Max and now I know why Magsafe technology has become so popular!
the magsafe battery packs are more for being able to use your phone while the battery pack charges your phone up, and the stands are nice for if it's late at night, everything you have is low or dead, you just set it all on the stand and go to bed, wake up and everything is charged. The nice ones charge faster (qi2 or the faster apple watch charging protocol) so that if you need your watch for sleep tracking you can just leave it on for a few minutes and put it back on before sleep, and mine even has the apple watch part detachable for on the go charging in case I need to leave right away and my watch is low. I have the iPhone 15 so I can plug the charger right into my phone and charge the watch from the phone.
I've only contemplated the Magsafe wallet because I want to minimize size as much as possible but still not sure if I trust it. Also, loved your diamond ring and band during the charging dock part.
It's reliable if you have a case on your phone. It sticks better to a case surface than the slippery glass back of the iPhone. Sadly, the hand and ring is my wife's. I wish I could rock something like that!
I absolutely love my Apple brand MagSafe wallet. It works great, and with the “found my” app, it tells you if it ever slides off (which it never does) and gives you that location where it happened. I rarely carry my wallet anymore. I carry my ID, one card, and a few bills that all fit easily. If I need more then I just carry a wallet as well, but that feels like a pretty rare instance
This was super helpful! I’ve been curious about which MagSafe accessories are worth it and which ones are just gimmicks. Did you find any accessory you didn’t expect to love but now can’t live without?
I don’t understand the point of mag safe charging. So I use a wired mag safe charger AND it’s slower than lighting port charging? Why wouldn’t I just use a traditional lightning cable if there is going to be a wired involved anyways?
I love the anker cube, but I don’t think it is a good travel charger. That thing is properly heavy and I wouldn’t want to lug around an extra half a kilo of a charging brick when a few cables will do. It is a great option for a desk though. The thing supports fast charging and I can charge three devices at once. Costs the same as the belkin and comes in a sleeker packaging.
I love my MagSafe pop Sockets, I like to swap to my Wallet version for when I go to the gym with my cards in it, and just the regular one for when im at work
The only max safe accessory I really care about is the belgian max safe car mount and the portable magnetic battery charger. I've gotten tired and bored with the iphone. I've decided to preorder the z flip 5. I was pleased to find out that amazon offers cases with the magnets in them so I can continue to use the Magsafe accessories from my iPhone.
@@BobRossRightHand incorrect. The flip 5 case comes in 2 parts. The case that goes on the back when the phone is folded will have a circular magenta on it. That's all magsafe is my friend. A circular magnet.
@@Dreamfoodreviews I know what MagSafe is, that's not what I said tho. I said if you would use a wallet for example it will be taller than the phone while folded
With the release of Qi2, I’m finally buying into the MagSafe ecosystem. If I’m honest, when most MagSafe chargers were only capable of 7.5w, I saw it as a bit of a Gimick. Now with Qi2 (15w charging speeds), I think it will actually be quite beneficial to me.
Which iPhone and size are you using to test the MagSafe battery banks ? I have a 15 Pro normal size and I would like to know if it will cover my camera or it will be ok
Thanks. Great. I'm traveling to ecuador w my new Iphone 15. Love it. Got belkin camera stand you show on 15. like it. Please:what usbc-3 charger do you recommend for fast charging ?
The only Apple feature that actually innovated and doesn't exist elsewhere. Luckily I use a case so any phone can use magsafe accessories with a Mous or Dbrand case, just make sure the case is magsafe compatible and has good magnets. I don't wirelessly charge due to loss of efficiency and higher temps while charging but the accessories are nice, function and removable.
I used the magsafe battery (on sale for $75) and anker and the anker doesn’t work with mini phones well, it also gets very very hot. The apple one is much better at regulating heat between both the phone and battery pack. You can keep it in your pocket when using it. It’s worth the price jump if you find it for $75.
Got a nice case for my Pixel 8 that was only a few bucks, bought the magsafe rings, attached one to my case of the same color and it works great. Made my phone and it's cases magsafe compatible for about $15 for the magnets and a case.
My first video of yours. Now this is some unique tech channel and everything was perfect, scrolled some other vids of yours and I like that you really cover the wide spectrum of tech. No limited to just big name brands but all things tech. Instant SUB 👍🏻 keep it up g!
The circular Belkin charger takes some effort to get it to stay standing, and the cord is kind of heavy and wants to pull the charger off the table. Oy. But it's only $19 and you can lay it flat if you don't want to bother with getting it to stand up. No regrets on that purchase. Very helpful video for someone like me who upgraded to MagSafe from an old iPhone.
I've been using the UCOMX Nano 3 in 1 Wireless Charger for just over a year now and I am really happy with it. Yes, it is on the cheap side but for $30 it has been great. Every now and then you can hear a ringing but you have to be really close to it to hear it. I think I'm going to get the Anker cube next.
The peak design magsafe wallet is way better than the apple one. magnetic flap to hold your cards that when you pull on pulls all your cards up for easy access. It also has room for at least 100% more cards.
I agree the Peak Design is great! My only complaint is that the magnet is not very strong and the wallet detaches with minimal force. I contacted Peak Design customer service thinking it was a defective product but was told that it’s normal and not a design flaw and once I tested other MagSafe wallets with my phone I realized that it is indeed normal for MagSafe magnets to not be very strong.
I've got a magsafe wallet and battery pack, only the latter is an Apple Official. I like the battery pack stops charging when the phone gets too warm, though it's a bummer it's capacity is so low. It's really just for charging your phone a bit when your out and need that extra juice... I might get a magsafe 3-in-1 charger for my desk later, though definitely not the expensive belkin one...
I like my Apple Watch a lot, but I cannot stand that I can’t use Qi or MagSafe to charge it. It’s so inconvenient when traveling because I would much rather bring my MagSafe charger and not have to worry about my Apple Watch charger.
i use the belkin boost charger pro for a few weeks now. pros. - functionality great for everyday use - aesthetically nice and clean - travelling - easy to pack due to flatness cons. - pricey - travelling - a little heavy - travelling - needs plug for the power adaptor plus another travel adaptor for compatible outlet overall. - great for everyday use - can pass for a semi to less frequent traveller and dont mind a little bulk - if it proves to be durable (which by previous experience, belkin is) then it is worth it
Are the actual phone cases with magsafe magnetic or is it just a metal that magnets stick too? Would be dope if I can magnetically stick my phone using a magsafe case to any metal surface
Have used mag safe only since 2022. Had a work phone 13 pro for a year and gave it back at 100% battery health. Same thing with my 14 pro after 9 months when I quit that job. My personal 13 pro which has had little used, but right now after using it and charging it regularly since June of 2023 I am still at 100%. Apple figure out good wireless charging and it is nice. I used mag safe duo with the 30w charging brick that came with my MacBook.
Hello! Thank you for the video, I really like that Stouchi ring mount/holder... however, I don't have a Macbook but I use an Asus Tuf Dash 15, has a thicker display (about 6 mm) than a Macbook. Could anyone who has the mount tell me the clearance for the display for the mount, if possible? I doubt that the mount will fit on my laptop...
I’m dipping back into tech after being pseudo-semi off the grid for about a decade so I am not sure if that’s a common reference. But the “Mad Catz quality” label was such a perfect description of second party products at the height of the iRevolution
I’m really excited for a second generation MagSafe battery pack. With no more mini iPhone the size should (hopefully) jump up to fit the 6.1” models, giving greater capacity. Plus I would expect USB-C. Helpful video since I will be upgrading from 11 :)
i feel like they can improve the battery technology instead of straight-up excluding the mini iPhones. sure, they didn’t sell very well but doing that would probably lead to a whole lot of third party products making their accessories far too big for the minis too. i also think that having twice the thickness of the iPhone 13 Pro would be really hard to hold.
The thing I love most about the MagSafe battery pack is that you can stick it in your pocket and not notice. There’s already tons of 3rd party options if you want a bigger MagSafe battery pack…
You can get a MagSafe case for iPhone X and 11 I’ve been using it for my iPhone 11 and it works great just charges really slow takes about 2 hours to fully charge but good option to have.
The MagSafe duo get yellow regardless of how much you use it. I don’t handle mine religiously, and it still got yellow and nasty. Get some covers for it if it bugs you though, they are affordable.
I bought a stand from Best Buy for like $7 that holds a standard apple mag safe charger which works for me upside down on a shelf next to my bed, however sometimes I wish the magnets were stronger
I noticed that the camera is really close to the magnet on the 14 pro 6.1 iphone. Is it an issue with some magsafe accessories ? Is it possible, for exemple, to turn the iPhone on the Anker Macgo battery to use it as a stand to watch videos ?
I have the Stouchi mount. It’s very useful. I bought it as a continuity camera mount but I mostly use it as a kickstand and ring holder. I’ve had it for a few months and it still works like new.

MagSafe is great concept but lack of physical pins/pads in design as you point out @ 14:50 might be reason why it never be more than a gimmick. Especially since big chunk of energy is lost in heat. TBH Motorola (Z series) take on this was better but due shady licensing (Motorola was greedy) and lack of proper documentation it never took off. I would love to see someone revisit this concept.
My mag safe duo stopped charging after buying it near launch.very disappointed as I was on vacation and didn’t have a watch charger.I replaced it with the anker cube and it’s much better.
I honestly will never go back to using my phone without my MagSafe pop socket. And I charge overnight on a not made for MagSafe charger and don't personally care that the speed is limited - for overnight charging I prefer it that way. Have been pretty much exclusively wirelessly charging my phones since my XR and have had zero problems. Also apples MagSafe battery bank is honestly great... overpriced but great. I bought a much cheaper (not MagSafe certified) one before I took the leap and only used it a couple times because it got HOT but have never had that issue with the apple one.
I love magsafe i have the apple battery pack and i put a silicone case on it with a magsafe ring on the back so i can put my apple wallet on the back. By 4pm the magsafe battery is dead and my phone is on 90% . I take the battery and put it in my car and just use the wallet on the phone for the rest of the day

Thanks. Great. I'm traveling to ecuador w my new Iphone 15. Love it. Got belkin camera stand you show on 15. like it. Please:what usbc-3 charger do you recommend for fast charging ?
The only Apple feature that actually innovated and doesn't exist elsewhere. Luckily I use a case so any phone can use magsafe accessories with a Mous or Dbrand case, just make sure the case is magsafe compatible and has good magnets. I don't wirelessly charge due to loss of efficiency and higher temps while charging but the accessories are nice, function and removable.
My best MagSafe accessories is the pop socket.
I used the magsafe battery (on sale for $75) and anker and the anker doesn’t work with mini phones well, it also gets very very hot. The apple one is much better at regulating heat between both the phone and battery pack. You can keep it in your pocket when using it. It’s worth the price jump if you find it for $75.
Got a nice case for my Pixel 8 that was only a few bucks, bought the magsafe rings, attached one to my case of the same color and it works great. Made my phone and it's cases magsafe compatible for about $15 for the magnets and a case.
I’ve always wanted a MagSafe phone and i recently got the iphone 15 so i will finally be able to use MagSafe
I like the Mac safe battery pack made by OtterBox because you can charge the battery pack with Mag safe or the USB-C port on the back
Hey nice video.
1 mil$ question; how can I turn my non-MagSafe battery pack into MagSafe?
My first video of yours.
Now this is some unique tech channel and everything was perfect, scrolled some other vids of yours and I like that you really cover the wide spectrum of tech. No limited to just big name brands but all things tech. Instant SUB 👍🏻 keep it up g!
The circular Belkin charger takes some effort to get it to stay standing, and the cord is kind of heavy and wants to pull the charger off the table. Oy. But it's only $19 and you can lay it flat if you don't want to bother with getting it to stand up. No regrets on that purchase. Very helpful video for someone like me who upgraded to MagSafe from an old iPhone.
I use Peak Design’s case/wallet. I find it is MUCH stronger than the phone magnet itself.
They also sell a bunch of different mounts: car, bike, etc.
What was the leather case that you were using for you iphone? If you don't mind me asking
I've been using the UCOMX Nano 3 in 1 Wireless Charger for just over a year now and I am really happy with it. Yes, it is on the cheap side but for $30 it has been great. Every now and then you can hear a ringing but you have to be really close to it to hear it. I think I'm going to get the Anker cube next.
Me too
The peak design magsafe wallet is way better than the apple one. magnetic flap to hold your cards that when you pull on pulls all your cards up for easy access. It also has room for at least 100% more cards.
I agree the Peak Design is great! My only complaint is that the magnet is not very strong and the wallet detaches with minimal force. I contacted Peak Design customer service thinking it was a defective product but was told that it’s normal and not a design flaw and once I tested other MagSafe wallets with my phone I realized that it is indeed normal for MagSafe magnets to not be very strong.
Really like the phone wallpaper, did you shot that yourself or got it somewhere?
Anker products are amazing, they’re definitely getting my money before Apple in terms of charging / accessories. Better products for a better price.
I've got a magsafe wallet and battery pack, only the latter is an Apple Official. I like the battery pack stops charging when the phone gets too warm, though it's a bummer it's capacity is so low. It's really just for charging your phone a bit when your out and need that extra juice...
I might get a magsafe 3-in-1 charger for my desk later, though definitely not the expensive belkin one...
5:24 this is the best one! Do you have a link for it?
13:55 and don't heat up the battery. Heat = less battery life
I like my Apple Watch a lot, but I cannot stand that I can’t use Qi or MagSafe to charge it. It’s so inconvenient when traveling because I would much rather bring my MagSafe charger and not have to worry about my Apple Watch charger.
Hi, what brown leather case are you using? Is it the Nomad Horween Leather?
The Belcon stand is freaking awesome
i use the belkin boost charger pro for a few weeks now.
pros.
- functionality great for everyday use
- aesthetically nice and clean
- travelling - easy to pack due to flatness
cons.
- pricey
- travelling - a little heavy
- travelling - needs plug for the power adaptor plus another travel adaptor for compatible outlet
overall.
- great for everyday use
- can pass for a semi to less frequent traveller and dont mind a little bulk
- if it proves to be durable (which by previous experience, belkin is) then it is worth it
Are the actual phone cases with magsafe magnetic or is it just a metal that magnets stick too? Would be dope if I can magnetically stick my phone using a magsafe case to any metal surface
Tell me, what kind of stand is presented at the presentation of the Apple function stand by iOS17?
Have used mag safe only since 2022. Had a work phone 13 pro for a year and gave it back at 100% battery health. Same thing with my 14 pro after 9 months when I quit that job. My personal 13 pro which has had little used, but right now after using it and charging it regularly since June of 2023 I am still at 100%. Apple figure out good wireless charging and it is nice. I used mag safe duo with the 30w charging brick that came with my MacBook.
Hello! Thank you for the video, I really like that Stouchi ring mount/holder... however, I don't have a Macbook but I use an Asus Tuf Dash 15, has a thicker display (about 6 mm) than a Macbook. Could anyone who has the mount tell me the clearance for the display for the mount, if possible? I doubt that the mount will fit on my laptop...
I’m dipping back into tech after being pseudo-semi off the grid for about a decade so I am not sure if that’s a common reference. But the “Mad Catz quality” label was such a perfect description of second party products at the height of the iRevolution
First video I've seen from, ez new sub
I’m really excited for a second generation MagSafe battery pack. With no more mini iPhone the size should (hopefully) jump up to fit the 6.1” models, giving greater capacity. Plus I would expect USB-C. Helpful video since I will be upgrading from 11 :)
i feel like they can improve the battery technology instead of straight-up excluding the mini iPhones. sure, they didn’t sell very well but doing that would probably lead to a whole lot of third party products making their accessories far too big for the minis too. i also think that having twice the thickness of the iPhone 13 Pro would be really hard to hold.
The thing I love most about the MagSafe battery pack is that you can stick it in your pocket and not notice. There’s already tons of 3rd party options if you want a bigger MagSafe battery pack…
Oh well, maybe next year!
You can get a MagSafe case for iPhone X and 11 I’ve been using it for my iPhone 11 and it works great just charges really slow takes about 2 hours to fully charge but good option to have.
Samsung Z fold 5 magsafe case works perfectly
The MagSafe duo get yellow regardless of how much you use it. I don’t handle mine religiously, and it still got yellow and nasty. Get some covers for it if it bugs you though, they are affordable.
12:50 If the iPhone is able to charge the powerbank, then shouldn’t it be able to charge other phones, too?
Thanks for the video 🎉 really helpful
Hi, are you interested in reviewing the Smart Sprinkler Controller?
Very helpful, thank you.
I bought a stand from Best Buy for like $7 that holds a standard apple mag safe charger which works for me upside down on a shelf next to my bed, however sometimes I wish the magnets were stronger
My go to is Anker 3-in-1 Cube with MagSafe.
I have the 3 in 1 Belkin MagSafe charger. I love it and I have Belkins MagSafe car charger. Both are amazing
I noticed that the camera is really close to the magnet on the 14 pro 6.1 iphone. Is it an issue with some magsafe accessories ? Is it possible, for exemple, to turn the iPhone on the Anker Macgo battery to use it as a stand to watch videos ?
Great info I learned a lot. Thanks
The MagSafe duo is way too slow for charging the Apple Watch. Is the Anker Cube faster?
Mous has Magsafe Cases for some Android phones. It's awesome.
Hey do you know if future iPads will get MagSafe?
Wow I can’t believe you don’t like the Belkin stand! I have the black colored one and it’s incredible and I use it daily. WELL worth the money spent
I have the pop socket magsafe wallet - it’s is not slim at all 😞
have a magsafe case for my pixel 7 so usefull :D it works pretty well for me
I have the Stouchi mount. It’s very useful. I bought it as a continuity camera mount but I mostly use it as a kickstand and ring holder. I’ve had it for a few months and it still works like new.
Great Video! But what case is that?
If I’m the millionth viewer, I want a MagSafe accessory as my lottery present 🤣
I have the Anker magGO and it gets very very hot during use

Take a drink every time Jimmy says, 'actually'. (20 times)
I thought the same during editing. Actually, I removed a lot during editing 😉
fantastic vid man. thanks. what is your iPhone case? i likey :)
MagSafe is great concept but lack of physical pins/pads in design as you point out @ 14:50 might be reason why it never be more than a gimmick.
Especially since big chunk of energy is lost in heat.
TBH Motorola (Z series) take on this was better but due shady licensing (Motorola was greedy) and lack of proper documentation it never took off.
I would love to see someone revisit this concept.
Agreed! Hoping this is just V1 of something much better in the future!
How can I get your wallpaper
My mag safe duo stopped charging after buying it near launch.very disappointed as I was on vacation and didn’t have a watch charger.I replaced it with the anker cube and it’s much better.
I honestly will never go back to using my phone without my MagSafe pop socket. And I charge overnight on a not made for MagSafe charger and don't personally care that the speed is limited - for overnight charging I prefer it that way. Have been pretty much exclusively wirelessly charging my phones since my XR and have had zero problems. Also apples MagSafe battery bank is honestly great... overpriced but great. I bought a much cheaper (not MagSafe certified) one before I took the leap and only used it a couple times because it got HOT but have never had that issue with the apple one.
Big thanks mate
I love magsafe i have the apple battery pack and i put a silicone case on it with a magsafe ring on the back so i can put my apple wallet on the back. By 4pm the magsafe battery is dead and my phone is on 90% . I take the battery and put it in my car and just use the wallet on the phone for the rest of the day
Are Magsafe mounts just a metal plate then, essentially?
