You may have heard of MagSafe accessories if you own an iPhone. But what exactly is a MagSafe case? In simple terms, a MagSafe case is a type of phone case that is specifically designed for iPhone models that uses MagSafe technology. This standard was first released in 2020 with the iPhone 12.
MagSafe is a proprietary technology developed by Apple that uses magnets to attach accessories to the back of iPhones securely. A MagSafe case is a phone case that has magnets embedded in it, allowing it to attach firmly to the back of an iPhone with MagSafe technology.

MagSafe works through a series of magnets that are integrated into both the iPhone and the MagSafe accessories. The iPhone's magnets are positioned in a circular array around the wireless charging coil; the MagSafe accessories also have embedded magnets that align with the iPhone's magnets.
When you attach a MagSafe case to your iPhone, the magnets in the case align with the magnets in the iPhone, creating a strong magnetic connection. A magnetic connection is formed if the case is securely snapped into the iPhone. This magnetic connection ensures the case stays in place and properly aligns with the iPhone for optimal wireless charging.
In addition to charging, the technology also allows for the attachment of other MagSafe accessories like wallets, mounts and stands, which can be easily attached to the back of the iPhone using the same magnetic connection. This makes it convenient for users to customize their iPhones with various accessories that can enhance their experience.
