1. Apple Silicone Case with MagSafe
Right at the top of this roundup is the silicone case from Apple. Made of top-grade silicone material, the case features a sophisticated design that looks premium on the iPhone 12/12 Pro.
Featuring a pretty smooth finish, the case also provides a much-improved grip, allowing you to hold your 6.1″ smartphone comfortably. Besides, the silicone case also features neat cutouts for convenient access to all the ports.
If Apple’s silicone case claims to be an elegant companion of iPhone 12, the OtterBox Figura Series case isn’t behind either. Figura Series sports a slim profile that wraps around the 6.1″ iPhone 12/12 Pro snuggly.
What’s more, the OtterBox MagSafe compatible case has got the essential cushion to thwart the impact and also prevent scratches. With the soft and smooth finish, it also provides a secure hold, thereby reducing slip-offs.
If you want to opt for a fast and secure charging solution, look no further than the Apple MagSafe charger. It takes advantage of the perfectly aligned magnets attached to the iPhone 12 Series to deliver faster wireless charging up to 15W.
Notably, the MagSafe charger is also compatible with Qi- charging technology. That means you can use it to wirelessly charge your iPhone 8 or later and AirPods with a wireless charging case.
If you are on the lookout for a premium leather wallet with MagSafe, check out this offering from Apple. Carved out of high-quality leather, the wallet has a professional look and feel.
The leather wallet magnetically attaches to the back of the iPhone and has got enough space to hold multiple credit/debit cards. It features a cutout on the back to let you pop up your credit cards with ease.
Belkin’s wireless charger stands out on multiple fronts. For starters, the charger can let you securely charge not only your iPhone 12 and 12 Pro but also Apple Watch and AirPods with a wireless charging case.
With the 3-in-1 functionality, the wireless charger also doubles as a handy dock for your accessories. You can use the adjustable design to have preferred viewing angles while media streaming or video calling.
Another MagSafe case that has caught my eyes is the OtterBox Aneu Series. What makes Aneu Series case a good pick is a compact design that not only makes a nice match with the iPhone but also absorbs shock. So, you kind of have the best of both worlds.
Aneu Series also features beveled edges to guard both the 6.1″ OLED display and the dual/triple cameras of your smartphone. As for buttons and cutouts, they have looked on-point to me.
Yet another MagSafe accessory from Belkin that has found a safe spot in our lineup is the Car Vent Mount Pro. It comes with a strong magnetic module that keeps the iPhone 12/12 Pro securely mounted. Besides, the presence of a steady base and sturdy vent clip further improves stability.
Another notable feature worth mention is the useful ball joint that lets you position your iPhone in both portrait and landscape orientations. Thus, you will have better viewing angles.
If a top-notch clear case with MagSafe is what you are after, the official case could be the right way to go. The case has got a form-fitting design that fits around the edges of the iPhone. Besides, it also features tactile buttons and precise cutouts so that accessing ports and the speakers can remain hassle-free.
In terms of protection, the clear case can withstand shock thanks to the cushioned corners. And you can also count on it to safeguard your iPhone 12 against scuffs.
Just in case you are hunting for a relatively affordable yet equally efficient wireless charger for your iPhone 12 Series, give serious consideration to ESR HaloLock magnetic wireless charger. The wireless charging pad features a magnetic ring that ensures your iPhone can remain perfectly aligned for faster charging. Additionally, the pad sports a soft finish to prevent scratches.
Notably, the HaloLock Magnetic wireless charging pad works with most cases. That means there is no need to remove the case from your iPhone 12 or 12 Pro. Another feature that makes it quite user-friendly is the heat-dissipating system that keeps your smartphone cool while it’s charging.
How about trying out a magnetic car mount that also doubles as a car charger? It’s this 2-in-1 functionality that sets ESR HaloLock magnetic wireless car charger to mount apart from the rest.
The magnetic wireless car charger mount has a compact yet rugged design. With the strong magnets, it locks onto the iPhone 12 series’ built-in magnets for a secure and steady hold. What’s more, it also offers the flexibility to let you place your smartphone both vertically and horizontally for a much-improved viewing experience.
Moment has released several awesome MagSafe accessories for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. My favorite of them all is the new Cold Shoe mount that allows you to connect third-party accessories like lights and microphones. I like the camera quality of iPhone 12 and 12 Pro and consider them to be the best video recording smartphones on the market right now.
However, by the nature of being a smartphone, the mic quality is not that good. So, attaching a mic is always a good practice if you want the best recordings. This Cold Shoe mount allows you to do exactly that. And if you shoot a lot in the dark, you will be happy to know that you can also attach lights. If you use your iPhone as a video recording took, purchase this mount.
No matter how good you are at hand-held videography and photography, using a tripod for stabilization will always give you better results. That said, I mostly avoid using tripods as they are too cumbersome to attach and remove. The new MagSafe technology in iPhone solves this problem by allowing third-party creators to create magnetic mounts for tripods.
With this mount, you will no longer have to use clamps to attach the tripods. It solves the same problem that the MagSafe wireless car charging mounts for iPhone 12 and 12 Pro solve when you are driving a car, that is allowing you to mount your iPhone without dealing with clamps.
If you want a MagSafe mount that allows you to attach your iPhone to anything including, magic arms, tripods, rig mounts, ball heads, and more, check out the multi-threaded mount with MagSafe. The mount comes with five female threads on one side and extra strong magnets on the other side, ensuring that your iPhone has a secure connection.
If you want to buy a simple wall mount that allows you to attach your iPhone 12 and 12 Pro to walls or any flat surface for that matter, check out the MagSafe wall mount from Moment. The wall mount has strong magnets on one side and an adhesive on the other. You can stick the adhesive side to any flat surface and then use MagSafe magnets to attach the iPhone.
The mount even has a countersunk through-hole so you can screw it into a stud or drywall anchor if you want. So, if you don’t trust the adhesive, you can permanently fix it to the wall and make sure that it doesn’t fall off the wall.
PITAKA is well-known for producing one of the best magnetic cases for smartphones. And its MagEZ case for iPhone 12/12 Pro has got all the qualities to warrant immediate attention.
The incorporation of built-in magnets enables it to work with magnetic car mounts. As a result, you can install your smartphone on a supported mount to have convenient viewing angles. More importantly, the built-in magnets don’t interfere with wireless charging.
So, that ends our roundup of the top MagSafe accessories designed for iPhone 12 and 12 Pro. With a variety of accessories vying for attention, I guess your all-new iPhone has found the right companion. If yes, let us know your favorite accessories.
