Tested: The 14 Best MagSafe Accessories For Your iPhone

Originally debuting on the iPhone 12 Series in late 2020, Apple’s MagSafe is a clever magnet-enabled attachment and coupling system that allows its user to pair a myriad of different add-ons and accessories with their late-model Apple smartphone. And while it admittedly took a good year or two before the tech world fully embraced the MagSafe system, a slew of major manufacturers have now leaned into the setup to begin producing a wide range of different magnetically-coupling wallets, stands, grips, and chargers — the latest and greatest of which we’ll be counting down today in this guide to the best Apple MagSafe accessories for your new iPhone.

Because there are so many different types of MagSafe accessories, it can be a little tricky trying to figure out what qualities and elements one should take into account when shopping. Having said that, there are a handful of traits that either apply to MagSafe accessories across the board — the most important of which we’ll be shining a light on directly below in this mini guide to the most crucial areas to think about when buying new MagSafe accessories. 

Function: No matter the manufacturer or type, every MagSafe accessory should serve one or more vital functions that either amplifies or bolster’s your device’s convenience or utility — making this an absolutely pivotal factor to consider when shopping. 

Materials: Just like with EDC pocket knives, backpacks, or practically every other genre of everyday carry gear, the materials used to craft a MagSafe accessory will play an enormous role in the item’s durability and overall quality. When looking at this area, you’ll want to review the accessory’s primary construction, as well as any secondary materials used for its liner, hardware, or other minor elements. What’s more, we also recommend looking into the type of magnets being used in a given MagSafe accessory, as the strength of these magnets can massively differ. As such, primary and secondary material selection is unequivocally one of the most important areas to take into account when shopping around.  

Compatibility: While every MagSafe accessory will be compatible with every MagSafe-equipped iPhone model (generations 12 and newer), some accessories aren’t compatible with particular cases, docks, or mounts. As a result, you’ll definitely want to consider your iPhone’s case along with any other accessories or peripherals that you’re regularly using in order to ensure that they’ll be compatible with whatever accessory you’re considering. 

Style: Not unlike cases for iPhones, MagSafe accessories are often designed to be aesthetically pleasing, blending both form and function. A decent number of MagSafe accessories are also offered in a variety of different finishes — making this yet another area you’ll want to look into when browsing or shopping. 

Size: MagSafe accessories come in all manner of different shapes and sizes, from tiny pop-sockets to robust multi-device desktop charging stations. As such, you’ll want to review an accessory’s size, while also considering your intended use, as an item’s size and mobility will largely dictate whether or not it will be conducive to EDC or if it will permanently reside at your home or office. 

Performance: Though this area really only applies to charging-related MagSafe accessories, you’ll definitely want to look into the performance specs of any MagSafe peripherals that you’re looking at, as metrics such as charging speed can massively impact the performance and overall user experience of an accessory. 

Despite the fact that MagSafe-equipped iPhones have existed for less than half a decade, there’s already an enormous number of available accessories and magnetically-coupling add-ons for Apple’s smartphones. In a bid to sort through the seemingly endless sea of available offerings and hone in on the segment’s few stand-out items, we began our search by first generating a list of criteria that we would use to make our initial picks. This included a MagSafe accessory’s materials, size, design and style, compatibility, and performance. We also looked at each item’s price, and the level of value and bang for your buck that it affords. This criteria would allow us to compile a shortlist of products that we suspected may represent one of today’s best MagSafe accessories. 

While factors such as materials, size, style, and charging speeds do provide a decent overall sense of a product, it isn’t until actually using and testing it firsthand that you start to get a more comprehensive one complete sense of its utility, performance, value, and worth. So, once we’d finished compiling our shortlist, we then proceeded to order every MagSafe accessory that we thought may stand as one of the best. This hands-on testing phase helps shine a light on factors such as how well an accessory’s magnet coupling works, while also fully revealing each item’s craftsmanship and build quality. After an extended field-testing phase, we were then able too further narrow down our original shortlist to a final selection of products that we found to be the best MagSafe accessories that money can currently buy. 

Editor’s Note: All MagSafe accessories were tested using the iPhone 14 Pro Max — the latest iPhone available when we conducted our field-testing. 

MOFT Snap-on Phone Stand & Wallet

Best Wallet: Sold in a whopping 19 different color options, the MOFT Snap-on Phone Stand & Wallet is a compact card-carrier that allows its user to streamline their everyday carry load out.

PopSockets PopGrip for MagSafe

Best Grip: With over 100,000,000 units being sold worldwide, there’s no denying the immense popularity of PopSockets phone grips. The PopSockets PopGrip for MagSafe maintains the same basic design and pop-out grip setup, however, instead of being attached to the phone using a permanent adhesive, this item magnetically couples to the back of a smartphone using the MagSafe system.

Apple MagSafe Battery Pack

Best Battery Pack: While there’s absolutely no shortage of MagSafe-compatible mobile power banks and battery packs on the market from third-party manufacturers, we believe it’s worth paying the so-called “Apple Tax” and shelling out the extra dollars it takes to get the tech giant’s own factory-built MagSafe battery. This is for several reasons.

Not only is this Lithium-ion battery pack capable of delivering as much as an additional 70% charge, but it — just like the iPhone itself — can be powered using an Apple Lightning cord. Even more noteworthy is the fact that, when magnetically-coupled with a smartphone, this high-tech EDC gadget’s battery level is displayed below the iPhone’s battery life on the smartphone’s display.
