MagSafe Ring Adapters - What you need to know

Ғылым және технология

I’ve done a couple of videos about MagSafe ring adapters, and I’ve received a ton of comments on those videos… so I thought I would spend some time answering some of the most common questions I get about MagSafe ring adapters. I’ll leave links below to a few options if you are looking to pick one up. If I were to buy any of these, I would recommend buying the Spigen ring adapter. I share more in the video about why the Spigen ring adapter is my top choice, so check it out!
Links to a few products I recommend are below. These are Amazon affiliate links and I do get a small commission if you purchase using these links, so thank you in advance!

    Idk if you noticed.. Lew is using the ring on a Pixel case. He isnt using it on an iphone case because he doesn't think the iPhones magnets are strong enough.. he is using it because the Pixel doesnt have magsafe at all and he is making it mag safe compatible. Hence why he says you can make anything magsafe. Its not about iPhones magnets not being strong enough through his case. Its about phones that dont have magsafe can be made to have magsafe. Just to clarify

    Great point, but I will say that Latercase does weaken the magsafe strength when used with iPhone. It's not by much, but you can definitely tell a difference.

    There is no need to stick one of these directly onto an iPhone (for those wondering). These Adapters are made to strengthen the existing MagSafe on an iPhone (especially when the phone is inside a cover).

    Wait, so if I attach an adapter to my case, it will increase the magnetism? Because both the loops I purchased don’t hold on my IPhone 15 ProMax. Miss the adhesive ones. They never fell off.

    Chris, you did a fantastic job! I am a scientist and a doctor. Most KZread reviewers are incomplete examining the features of a product and seldom address the critical problem areas with products. Efficient and articulate reviews are desperately difficult to find on KZread. "Blah, blah, blah, I love to hear myself talk", seems to be the norm with KZread reviewers, ugh! I am always amazed by the airheads who do reviews. You sir, are no airhead and rightfully you get the first ever comment I have left on KZread. Bravo!

    When I started magging my devices an car to have devices mounted in different areas it was very important to be able to align them very differently so I could easily reach to the right, left, up or down an the device be in a perfect hand position. So I'm wondering if I should avoid that extra part. Though having swivleing/rotating mounts could make that useful. Also it was convenient for me to have much smaller diameter magnets; considering I placed tiny mounts in several places in my car. An it all looked elegant. I wouldn't even have had room in the areas I placed some of these if they were that big. Is there a reduce the diameter to a smaller mag if I would choose this brand?

    A "need to know" subject could have been about certain materials which a MagSafe ring adapter adhesive cannot stick to. From there, making notes on how to attach the or which MagSafe ring adapter to use for certain style cases. I am wanting to find a MagSafe ring that would be best compatible for a Samsung "Silicone Cover with S Pen" for the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

    Hi! As you said that some rings have the additional piece of magnet that helps with allignment, i’m wondering, i’m able to get a discount on the Panzer Glass magsafe ring which is just the ring without the additional piece. I would be using it for MagSafe wallet only. Will it be less convenient and comfortable and should i not buy this ring then? I dont NEED it, just thought it could be cool. But if i’ll have troubles with the wallet constantly falling off, then i wouldnt wanna buy it. So i thought you might know a little more, what do you personally think? Thank you for the video :)

    I got the one from Mophie attached to a plastic cover on my Iphone SE. It works great with their stand. but the adapter so thick that my old non-magnetic wireless charge pads now don't work reliably anymore. I have to take the cover off to charge on a pad (So I never do it). This messed up my idea of having wireless charge pads on my night stand and mag safe on my desk.
