MagSafe accessories are becoming increasingly popular, and more and more manufacturers are now offering MagSafe products such as MagSafe finger grips, MagSafe power banks, and even MagSafe car mounts. That’s why I’m testing all the MagSafe accessories available on this website for you. This list will continue to expand, so it’s best to bookmark it!
MagSafe Accessories – All Products Tested & Reviewed
Below each tested product, you’ll find the pros and cons, a conclusion on who it’s suitable for, and a link to where I purchased the product. There’s also a video for more details.
The MagSafe Finger Holder from Anker
The new MagSafe Finger Holder from Anker is a brilliant invention. Why? Because it holds securely through magnets and doesn’t require adhesive like other finger holders. Additionally, it can be used with any MagSafe case, regardless of its texture, whereas adhesive holders only stick to smooth cases. It holds very firmly, and with the fold-out ring, it also serves as a stand. The finger holder can be easily rotated into the desired position. Furthermore, the MagSafe Finger Holder is of high-quality craftsmanship.
However, with the finger holder, wireless charging is no longer possible, and it doesn’t work with MagSafe car mounts. In such cases, you’ll need to remove the ring. Additionally, over time, these rings may stretch out, but this only becomes apparent in long-term tests.

Price: $15.99
Pros
✓ Holds securely to iPhone & MagSafe cases
✓ Superior to adhesive finger holders
✓ Integrated stand function
✓ Finger holder is rotatable for perfect positioning
✓ Very high-quality craftsmanship
Cons
✗ No longer supports Wireless Charging

✗ Ring may stretch out over time
Conclusion – Who is this product suitable for?
For those who have previously relied on adhesive finger holders and do not want to do without them, this is now a truly ingenious alternative. No adhesive residue on the phone or case, and you can finally use cases where adhesive finger holders wouldn’t stick.

The Anker MagSafe Power Bank
The Anker MagSafe Power Bank is very well-crafted and feels very high-quality, which is what you’d expect given its price. In addition to the very secure MagSafe mount, it also features an integrated stand function. The power bank charges at 7.5V, like the original, but it has a capacity of 5000 mAh instead of the original 1460 mAh, which costs $109. Additionally, you can charge all other wireless charging-enabled devices here, as well as anything else via cable.
Because the plug for the power bank is located at the bottom, you can’t use the power bank in stand mode as a wireless charger. Additionally, the power bank rotates slightly on the back of the iPhone. Another downside is the non-disconnectable charging function. Once docked, it starts charging, and if you want to interrupt it, you have to remove the power bank. Moreover, you can’t charge multiple devices simultaneously as you can with other power banks, and the Apple Watch can only be charged here via cable.

Price: $49.99
Pros
✓ Very good craftsmanship
✓ Comes with a stand function
✓ Holds very securely on the iPhone
✓ Charges at 7.5V like the original, but has a capacity of 5000 mAh instead of 1460 mAh and costs almost half the price
✓ Can charge AirPods and other wireless charging-enabled devices
Cons
✗ Cannot be used as a wireless charger
✗ No fixed position on the iPhone, rotates slightly
✗ Charging function cannot be turned off
✗ Cannot charge two devices simultaneously
✗ The Apple Watch cannot be charged on it
Conclusion – Who is this product suitable for?
The major advantage over regular power banks, of course, lies in the MagSafe mount. Everyone must decide for themselves whether they absolutely need this feature and if they can live with the drawbacks, or if they’d rather opt for a power bank with an integrated wireless charger, like this one, which has six times the power and is significantly cheaper.

The Apple MagSafe Duo Charger
The Apple MagSafe Duo Charger is typically Apple in that it is extremely well-crafted. With this charger, you can charge your iPhone or AirPods along with your Apple Watch. It’s all connected with just one cable, making it perfect for travel or on-the-go, but of course, it’s also great for your bedside table. It’s worth noting that the MagSafe Duo Charger also works when folded, so you don’t always have to unfold it, especially if you only want to charge the Watch. Another advantage is that the Apple Watch can be charged in a standing position, allowing you to still read the time. Even if you don’t have a MagSafe case, the Duo Charger still securely holds onto the iPhone and charges it.
In terms of price, we’re obviously in the upper range here. Additionally, some people have experienced issues with their phones, especially iPhone 11 and older models, charging too slowly, especially when charging the Watch at the same time. Fast charging is only possible with iPhone 12 and newer models. The last drawback concerns the absence of a power plug for fast charging. If you don’t have one, you’ll need to purchase one separately, and I’ve provided a link below.

Price: $109.99
Pros
✓ Extremely high-quality craftsmanship
✓ Can charge iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously
✓ Perfect for bedside table, on-the-go, or while traveling
✓ Functions even when folded
✓ Apple Watch can be charged in a standing position
✓ Charges even without an iPhone 13 MagSafe case
✓ Can also charge AirPods
Cons
✗ Expensive
✗ Many people experience issues with iPhone 11 and older models, not sitting properly?
✗ Fast charging only available with iPhone 12 and newer models
✗ You’ll need to purchase a separate 27W fast-charging plug if you don’t have one
Conclusion – Who is this product suitable for?
The Apple MagSafe Duo Charger is a nice solution, especially for people who don’t want to deal with the tangle of cables from the iPhone and Apple Watch chargers. I find the MagSafe Duo Charger even more fantastic for travel or on-the-go, as it’s compact and can charge all your devices. However, I wouldn’t leave it in a hotel room, just like I wouldn’t leave a cable behind there =)

The HaloLock Universal Ring by ESR
The HaloLock Universal Ring by ESR is a brilliant solution for some people, as it allows you to turn any smooth case into a MagSafe case. Additionally, this also works for Samsung devices, so you can use MagSafe accessories with Samsung devices as well. The small plate is not a magnet but simply a piece of metal and is also very thin. It adheres very well to smooth surfaces, ensuring the function works. This means your phone will now attach to MagSafe accessories, such as a car mount, and still charge at the same time.
The manufacturer advises against directly adhering the ring to the phone. Additionally, the ring is only designated for iPhone 12 and 13 models, not for iPhone 11 or earlier models. Unfortunately, you can only use the ring once and cannot repeatedly adhere it to another case, as the adhesive effect naturally diminishes. It’s also important to note that the ring only sticks to smooth cases, not to materials like silicone or leather. Another downside is the included adapter. You insert it into your Lightning port, providing the perfect template for placing the ring on the back of the case. Unfortunately, this only works correctly with thin cases; you can see what I mean in the video above.
Price: 15.99 for 2 pieces
Pros
✓ Turns any smooth case into a MagSafe case
✓ Works for Samsung devices as well
✓ Very thin
✓ Adheres very well
✓ Charging works
Cons
✗ Can only be adhered to cases, not directly to the phone
✗ Can only be used once
✗ Best suited for hardcase backs
✗ Only usable on smooth cases
✗ Adapter only works correctly with thin cases
Conclusion – Who is this product suitable for?
ESR has introduced a clever product here that allows you to turn any smooth case into a MagSafe case. Unfortunately, the installation is not ideal, but for those who have expensive Rhinoshield cases without MagSafe, this allows for an easy upgrade.

The MagSafe Wallet with Stand Function by MOFT
The MagSafe Wallet with Stand Function by MOFT offers several advantages. Firstly, it allows you to prop up the iPhone in various positions and includes a card slot. The quality and craftsmanship are good. Additionally, the MagSafe Wallet can also be used as a finger holder.
Unfortunately, with the blue model, which I also purchased, the magnet isn’t as strong as in the other models. So, it’s better to steer clear of the blue color. Retrieving the inserted cards is also a bit fiddly and less convenient compared to Apple’s original MagSafe Wallet. Like with all MagSafe Wallets, you need to remove it before MagSafe charging. However, you can magnetically attach the MagSafe puck between the Wallet and iPhone to serve as a reminder to reattach the Wallet in the morning. The price is a personal decision. Whether it’s genuine leather is not specified, but it’s doubted.
Price: $29,99
Pros
✓ With Stand Function
✓ Includes Card Slot
✓ Good Quality
✓ With Hand Holder
Cons
✗ Magnets may not be equally strong everywhere
✗ Retrieving cards is more challenging compared to the original
✗ MagSafe charging requires a workaround
✗ Relatively expensive
Conclusion – Who is this product suitable for?
The functionality for debit cards, etc., is somewhat limited, but it can be used if you don’t need to take them out constantly. Otherwise, it can be a bit inconvenient. However, for those who also need a stand function with various positions and a hand holder to prevent the phone from slipping, this product is worth a closer look. Some have reported that the magnet isn’t as strong, especially with the blue models, which is also the case with mine. Therefore, it’s advisable to avoid this color.

The original PopSocket with MagSafe
The original PopSocket now also attaches via MagSafe. There’s no need for adhesive anymore, and I must say, it holds very securely. You don’t have to worry about it coming off. The craftsmanship is good, and you can even stand the iPhone on its side to, for example, watch videos. Additionally, you can change the colors of the PopSocket, but you’ll need to purchase those separately.
There isn’t a lot of material here, so I find €30 to be a bit pricey. Additionally, it’s important to remember that you can’t charge via MagSafe with the PopSocket attached; it needs to be removed first. Also, you can’t use MagSafe car mounts with the PopSocket attached to the back.
Price: $29.99
Pros
✓ No need for adhesive, holds securely via MagSafe
✓ Good craftsmanship
✓ Comes with a stand function
✓ Interchangeable colors
Cons
✗ Relatively expensive
✗ No longer supports charging via MagSafe
✗ MagSafe mounts no longer work
Conclusion – Who is this product suitable for?
For those who used to stick the PopSocket to their case or phone, this will be a very welcome solution. You can attach it to any MagSafe case and easily remove it.

The RhinoShield GRIPMAX holder
The RhinoShield GRIPMAX holder no longer requires adhesive and now attaches via MagSafe. Additionally, it allows you to prop up the iPhone in two positions. The holder provides a very secure grip, as you insert two fingers through it. As usual from RhinoShield, there are many different designs available for customization.
One thing I noticed when pulling it off is that it often detaches the entire construct from the phone. Additionally, this holder doesn’t feel as high-quality as the one from PopSockets, as everything here is made of plastic. Like with the PopSockets holder, you can’t use MagSafe accessories with the GRIPMAX attached without removing it first.
Price: $24.99
Pros
✓ No need for adhesive, holds securely via MagSafe
✓ Provides a secure grip
✓ Offers two stand positions
✓ Many design options
Cons
✗ Often detaches when pulled off
✗ Doesn’t feel as high-quality or comfortable as the PopSockets holder
✗ No longer supports charging via MagSafe
✗ MagSafe mounts no longer work
Conclusion – Who is this product suitable for?
Unlike PopSockets, here you have the advantage of inserting two fingers through the holder, providing an even firmer grip. However, I would have preferred a more premium material choice, as the bare plastic does feel a bit cheap. Otherwise, it’s a good product.

The EWA MagOne MagSafe Finger Holder
The EWA MagOne MagSafe Finger Holder adheres very securely to the iPhone, and it provides a strong grip when held with the finger. What sets it apart is that it still allows for MagSafe charging. Compared to other holders like PopSocket or RhinoShield, this one is remarkably slim. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a stand function like the other holders, but it comes with plenty of accessories. It includes three interchangeable rubber strips and an additional MagSafe ring for attaching to a case or another phone. This makes it easy to retrofit with MagSafe.
Price: $19.99
Pros
✓ Adheres securely via MagSafe
✓ Provides a secure grip
✓ Still allows for charging via MagSafe
✓ Not as bulky as other finger holders
✓ Comes with a lot of accessories
Cons
✗ No stand function
Conclusion – Who is this product suitable for?
The EWA MagSafe Finger Holder is simple and straightforward, but it does its job without adding as much bulk as other finger holders. The best part is that you can still charge via MagSafe, which is not possible with other finger holders.

The Anker MagSafe Magnetic Phone Grip
The Anker MagSafe Magnetic Phone Grip adheres very securely to the iPhone, providing a secure grip when your finger is inserted. Since the band is magnetic, you can easily attach your iPhone to the refrigerator. Additionally, you can use it to prop up your iPhone.
However, when the band is unfolded, it tends to flutter around and can be a bit bothersome. Charging via MagSafe is also not possible with the Magnetic Phone Grip attached, as it needs to be removed. This leaves me wondering what the perfect use case for this product might be.
Price: $19.99
Pros
✓ Adheres securely via MagSafe
✓ Provides a secure grip
✓ Can be attached to the refrigerator, etc.
✓ Comes with a finger holder
✓ Includes a stand function
Cons
✗ Band flutters around
✗ No longer supports charging via MagSafe
✗ What is the intended use for this?
Conclusion – Who is this product suitable for?
The Anker Magnetic Phone Grip is an unusual product and is well-crafted. However, I’m left wondering what specific use case this product is perfectly suited for.

The ESR HaloLock MagSafe Wallet
The ESR HaloLock MagSafe Wallet securely attaches to the iPhone via MagSafe and provides space for 3 cards. What sets this wallet apart is its stand function, allowing you to prop up the iPhone in both portrait and landscape orientations. The craftsmanship is also very good. The only downside is that you can no longer charge via MagSafe with the wallet attached.
Price: $29.99
Pros
✓ Adheres securely via MagSafe
✓ Holds up to 3 cards
✓ Comes with a stand function
✓ Very good craftsmanship
Cons
✗ No longer supports charging via MagSafe
Conclusion – Who is this product suitable for?

The UGREEN Nexode MagSafe Charger
The UGREEN Nexode MagSafe Charger stands out with its excellent craftsmanship and substantial weight of about 1kg. It can charge the iPhone via MagSafe at up to 15 watts, which is the same as the original MagSafe charger. Additionally, it can charge other devices with USB-C at up to 100 watts, such as a MacBook, etc. The more devices you connect, the lower the charging power per port. You can find a detailed overview in the Amazon listing.
One negative aspect I noticed is the center of gravity when the iPhone is attached to the charger. It shifts far forward, making the setup prone to tipping forward. Also, one should not underestimate the weight of 1kg.
Price: $179.99
Pros
✓ Excellent craftsmanship
✓ Comes with a MagSafe holder and 15W charging function
✓ Supports charging at up to 100 watts
✓ Perfect for traveling, office, etc.
Cons
✗ Prone to tipping forward
✗ Quite heavy
Conclusion – Who is this product suitable for?
For me, this is a really well-designed device. Especially for travel or office use, I see it as a perfect companion. You no longer have to carry around all your cables, one device is enough from now on. Unless you also have an Apple Watch, then you still need to bring the charging cable for that.

TORRAS MagSafe Phone Ring
The new MagSafe phone ring from Torras gives a very good impression of quality. With it, you can position your phone in almost any orientation and still have a finger strap. The magnet is extremely strong; there’s no need to worry about it not holding and your phone falling off. Additionally, we provide two MagSafe stickers. These are thin magnetic rings that can be adhered to a Samsung device, for example, to enable MagSafe compatibility. You can also attach this ring to non-MagSafe compatible cases, but you need to ensure the material of the case is suitable for it to hold.
For many, this could be a dealbreaker; you can’t charge your phone via MagSafe with this ring attached. So, you’ll either need to remove it before charging or charge via cable. Additionally, I find €23 to be quite expensive.
Price: $23.99
Pros
✓ Very high quality
✓ Phone can be positioned in each position
✓ Includes finger strap
✓ Extremely strong magnets
✓ MagSafe stickers for other devices or cases
Cons
✗ Unable to charge via MagSafe with the ring attached
✗ Expensive
Conclusion – Who is this product suitable for?
It’s one of the highest quality MagSafe rings on the market, which is also reflected in the price. Additionally, it offers many positioning options. Anyone looking for such features and can live with not being able to charge via MagSafe simultaneously should consider purchasing this product.
You can find the ring on Amazon
Moft MagSafe Stand
The MagSafe tripod from Moft is crafted with excellent quality. The MagSafe magnet is also very strong. What sets this tripod apart are the numerous setup options, as seen in the video. The small hinge is very sturdy, giving the impression that it won’t break easily. Additionally, you can still use your MagSafe accessories, as they also adhere to the Moft tripod.
However, charging via MagSafe is no longer possible without removing the tripod. Also, I find the price a bit high for a tripod; I think there are better options available for less money.
Price: $39.99
Pros
✓ Very good build quality
✓ Very strong magnet
✓ Phone can be positioned in multiple angles
✓ Stable hinge
✓ MagSafe accessories can still be used
✓ Great for taking pictures, videos, or video calls
✓ Perfect for watching videos, e.g., on a plane
Cons
✗ Charging via MagSafe no longer possible
✗ Expensive
✗ There are better and cheaper options available as a stand.
Conclusion – Who is this product for?
Primarily intended as a stand, as indicated in the description. However, there are much better and cheaper options available. I would rather describe this MagSafe accessory as a good all-around stand that performs adequately in various scenarios.
