Innovative Phone Protection: What Is a MagSafe Phone Case?


It's amazing to watch how mobile technology continues to evolve, simplifying and improving our day-to-day lives. Apple’s introduction of MagSafe technology represents a significant leap forward in terms of functionality, ease of use, and compatibility with a wide range of awesome accessories.

OtterBox has harnessed the power of MagSafe technology within our Apple exclusive and MagSafe collections.

In this article, we will explore the details surrounding MagSafe and why OtterBox MagSafe cases are the best of both worlds.

What is a MagSafe Phone Case?

A MagSafe phone case is specifically designed to capitalize on the benefits of MagSafe technology. This innovative phone case uses a magnetic attachment system that securely snaps onto the back of your iPhone, providing a strong and stable connection. 

MagSafe cases are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. With a range of different colors and materials, you don’t have to make a choice based on function alone. MagSafe technology has been a game-changer for iPhone users. Protecting your devices without sacrificing style or convenience is no longer a decision you have to make. The MagSafe technology built into your iPhone becomes even better when combined with the legendary protection of an OtterBox Phone Case. 

MagSafe wallets, mounts, grips and stands have also taken the market by storm. MagSafe technology has opened the door for a new way to accessorize your device, one that doesn’t involve adhesives.

Exploring The Technology: How Does MagSafe Work?

At the core of MagSafe technology lies a series of magnets strategically positioned within the internal charging coil of the most recent iPhone models (from the iPhone 12 and beyond). These magnets interact with those in the wireless charger to ensure they’re perfectly aligned to charge your phone quickly. While most wireless chargers deliver up to 7.5 watts, a MagSafe charger doubles that to 15 watts when locked into place. Since the magnets attach to the charger, you don’t have to worry about the perfect connection being broken, even if your phone vibrates while charging.

Can You Use a MagSafe Charger Without a MagSafe Case?

One of the most frequently asked questions about MagSafe technology is whether or not you can use a MagSafe charger without having a MagSafe phone case. The simple answer is yes! While your newer iPhones offer the same magnetic connection, MagSafe cases provide a more secure attachment that does not risk damaging or scratching the exterior of your iPhone.
