    ESR. They have cases as low as $13 with strong magnets and a premium feel.

      Wow, nice backhanded compliment there. You’ve really nailed damning with faint praise.

        Backhanded? The compliment is sincere.

        I’m sorry if it came across otherwise. I mean what I said.

    I like casetify. Stylish, protective, and MagSafe works. Might be a bit overpriced though.

    The Ghostek Atomic Slim case. Two layers of padding inside, and an aluminum frame. Also has the strongest magsafe magnet in the case I’ve used. I still have one on a 13PM that I got with it and aside from a couple scuffs in the anodizing, is in perfect shape.

    The only issue that we saw is the camera protective area is a little larger so on the pro model it interfered with some of the larger hand grips slightly (the pro max model was fine, and smaller grips worked on both).

      How chunky is that? I bought the Gripmunk which seems pretty decent and saved the phone at least once, but it’s chunky.

    MagSafe magnets are in the dock, not in the case.

      Magsafe has magnets in the phone, the dock, AND the case for a firm connection.

      Here’s a pic of my Apple silicone case with no phone inside of it. It’s magnetic.

        It’s a conduction ring, too, so that the charge gets from the charger to the phone.

        But people who don’t know should be made aware of this that iPhone cases now also contain magnets.

          I thought that coil was the NFC coil so that the phone could identify the case and accessories. It’s only a few threads, which would be small for an induction coil.

      I highly recommend a MagSafe-compatible case if you’re thinking of getting into the ecosystem. Even a thin TPU case is enough to keep your phone from docking correctly, if at all.
