Why do you need a MagSafe-compatible iPhone 12 case? After all, good iPhone 12 cases will work with a MagSafe charger as long as it’s wireless-compatible. But to get that secure magnetic attachment with the MagSafe charger and use other MagSafe accessories, you’ll need a MagSafe case. Here are some of the best MagSafe-compatible iPhone 12 cases you can buy.

Unlike regular wireless-compatible cases, MagSafe-compatible cases have a circle of magnets inside. This creates a stronger connection to the MagSafe charger and MagSafe charger alternatives. This helps guide your iPhone to just the right spot, snapping it into place. Also, if you want to use MagSafe accessories like the MagSafe wallet, only a MagSafe-compatible case will work. Note that the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are the same size, so cases are interchangeable.
You can’t go wrong with Apple’s own designs; I like the look and feel of the Apple iPhone 12 Silicone Case with MagSafe. The case is slim, perfectly form-fitted to the iPhone 12, and has the Apple logo on the back. It comes in a nice variety of colors.
