When the first iPhone with MagSafe charging was released, I got really excited about it. Although I didn’t get back to iPhone when the 12 was released, I’ve always been checking what are the cool things being created by manufacturers and companies to support this innovation by Apple.
Apple definitely nailed one of the biggest problems of wireless charging. Being able to charge your phone wirelessly without missing the contact of the phone and the charger is very helpful at all times. Many people had trouble charging wirelessly in the past because a minor mistake in placing your phone on a wireless charger will just stop it from charging properly.
I know, I’m always too late to review gadgets but I’d still love to share things like this. So today, I’m going to share with you the current MagSafe compatibles that I am using and would want to get in the future.
Of course, these products will be linked to my affiliates to support my blog. Most of them are my purchase of course and they are relatively cheap because I love affordable tech gadgets.
Mcdodo 2-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand
Since I have this, I can also give you my thoughts about it.
This is a 2-in-1 charger that allows you to charge your iPhone 12 and 13 series and your AirPods at the same time.
Out of the box, it has a charging stand and a USB type C cable. The power brick is not included which is very usual and has been normalized by Apple too hahaha.
It claims to power up to 15W charging but according to Apple the only wireless chargers that iPhone supports for that wattage is the Apple MagSafe Charger and the Belkin Portable Wireless charger pad. They are quite expensive but they are 100% supported for iPhones plus it has a great quality.
Cons of this McdodoMagSafe charger
The only issue I had with this Mcdodo Magnetic Wireless charger is that it is quite sharp on the edges and because of that and the strong magnet, my iPhone was damaged.
My iPhone is pink so I couldn’t get the damage to appear in photos but it’s like a crescent scratch because I removed the phone sideways and I didn’t have a MagSafe-compatible case at the time.
But if you use a case that is compatible with MagSafe it’s perfectly fine.
The other thing is that the bottom is only usable for AirPods charging or anything that would fit on the molded tray for AirPods. I guess it would’ve been nice if it’s flat so that you can charge other devices aside from AirPods.
Smart Devil Silicone MagSafe Compatible Case
Because of the damage that my iPhone had from my charging stand. I decided to buy a case that will protect it from further damage.
I ordered cheap imitations of Apple’s leather MagSafe charger but on the first attempt, the seller was too slow to ship the items. So I canceled it and ordered another one, it’s also taking a while to pack so I contacted the seller and I think they have accidentally canceled the order (not sure). The reason why I thought it was accidental is that they even sent a photo of the item to be packed.
Anyways, those two stores had high ratings but they were from China and I think the Spring festival is about to happen and maybe it’s a holiday. You can also check it out here it seems nice.
Going back with the Smart Devil! It was quite slow to be delivered (not to ship out) because it was stuck on custom checking in China. I believe things with batteries and magnets need a thorough checking with customs not sure though. But I contacted Lazada to check it out and they were able to expedite the delivery after the customs checks.
I ordered the pink to match the phone and it’s a perfect match indeed!
The silicone is very smooth. The magnet is awesome it perfectly sticks on Mcdodo’s Charger and the next item which is the Most O-Snap.
It also has a suede-like inner layer that protects the phone itself. The buttons are also clicky and the best part is that Smart Devil is always providing a good quality glass screen protector.
No cons to this one because it’s lovely. Maybe just the color option they only have a few.
