MagSafe is Apple’s magnetic technology built into the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, iPhone 15, and iPhone 16 ranges. It consists of a ring of magnets on the back of the phone, and is designed to create a faster, more accurate wireless charging system. However, the magnets on the back also allow you to attach it to a variety of accessories such as external batteries, car mounts, and wallets.
If you use a case on your iPhone, you’ll want to make sure you have a MagSafe case (the case itself will have a ring of magnets). This will ensure a proper connection with the MagSafe accessory. If you use a non-MagSafe case, the connection will be too weak, and MagSafe products may slide off your iPhone. Our guides have many case recommendations:
When buying a wallet, make sure it supports MagSafe. It should indicate this prominently in the product description. MagSafe wallets come with a single ring of magnets that allow them to snap directly onto the back of an iPhone or onto a MagSafe case. This allows the wallet to maintain a strong and secure hold on your device. All of the wallets we’ve included in this guide have the MagSafe seal of approval.
