The best MagSafe cases, chargers, and accessories for the iPhone 12

Get amped up for Apple's newest charging system.

If you’ve bought a new iPhone 12, you know all about the new design, display, camera, and iOS 14 enhancements, but there’s one new feature you might not have tried yet: MagSafe. Apple’s new magnetic accessory system allows for a whole new ecosystem of accessories: stands, chargers, cases, wallets, mounts, and maybe even other creative uses for the technology.

MagSafe is a precise ring of magnets, a Qi wireless charging coil capable of up to 15W, and an NFC antenna, all meant to allow you to magnetically attach accessories to the back of your iPhone. Here are some of the MagSafe accessories you might be interested in, divided this list into two sections: Made for MagSafe and MagSafe Compatible. They are not the same thing!

MagSafe accessories that are officially certified by Apple are generally of higher quality, but they also use the NFC coil to communicate with your iPhone. Only devices with the Made for MagSafe certification badge can charge your iPhone at 15W—other chargers (typically listed as “MagSafe Compatible”) are still limited to 7.5W.
