![]() I hope Moment is not the exception, but rather the new rule. I genuinely wish more case makers would build MagSafe compatibility into their cases for phones with wireless charging. Apple gets more accessories, Android gets the convenience, and accessory makers get a new standard to play with. The more MagSafe compatibility is adopted on both sides of the aisle, the more accessories will become available for iPhones as well as Android phones. ![]() MagSafe is easy to use and gives you confidence that your phone will charge and not get knocked off by an errant hand in the middle of the night. But there are so many more other opportunities out there, including Moment accessories, phone stands, tripod mounts, and more. I limit my usage to a vent mount, an occasional battery pack, and my Lenovo Smart Clock 2. Phones that wirelessly charge will always have cases that can take advantage of the wide range of accessories that are available to iPhone users. I love that Android phones can have MagSafe as well. For my S21 Ultra, I attached the Snap ring to the TPU case I was using, and it has stuck there ever since. By contrast, I found the Mophie rings can have a tough time sticking to glass-backed phones. What I like about Moment is that it’s building MagSafe compatibility into the cases themselves. If you search Amazon for “ MagSafe phone adapter,” there are a few brands to choose from. I don’t want this to turn into a Mophie review it’s just what I have. You can also stick your battery pack to the phone to hold it and use a cable to charge it. Obviously, if the phone doesn’t have it, it won’t charge, but you still get the convenience of using the vent mount. The beautiful part is, you can add a Snap ring adapter whether your phone has wireless charging or not. My contacts at Mophie hooked me up with their new line of accessories called “Snap” that include magnet rings you can add to your phone, a vent-mounted phone holder/charger, and a portable battery. Personally, I’ve been living that MagSafe life for months with my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. In addition to Moment, several accessory makers have created MagSafe-compatible accessories and even adapter rings for adding “MagSafe” to your phone. MagSafe solves that problem, and if you’re an Android user, you don’t have to look on with jealousy any longer because you can use MagSafe accessories as well. One of the biggest dings against wireless charging is the fear that a phone isn’t set down correctly or gets knocked off a wireless charger accidentally. There’s just something really nice about plopping your phone down on a charger and knowing that it’ll charge without any fiddling. Other manufacturers followed suit, introducing MagSafe-compatible stands, dashboard mounts, and more. Instead of just stopping at a charging puck, Apple eventually continued with a whole line of MagSafe accessories including chargers, wallets, and batteries. At that time, Apple took the magnetic charger concept several steps further because that’s what Apple tends to do. You may recall the original Palm phones had an optional charging stand called the touchstone that also used magnets to align the charging coils on the charger with the coils on the phone.įast forward to 2020, and Apple introduced MagSafe to the iPhone 12. One could argue that MagSafe is just the latest in a long and distinguished line of features that other manufacturers have borrowed from Palm. The beautiful part about this concept is that MagSafe isn’t really proprietary technology. ![]() ![]()
