Other MagSafe Grips We’ve Tested
Spigen OM104 MagSafe Phone Grip for $27: The OM104 is a phone/grip combo accessory for MagSafe and Qi2 devices that comes with a flexible nylon strap to slide your finger through while holding your phone. Dual magnets and a robust metal construction make the OM104 immediately feel like money well spent, and even after hours of sliding my finger in and out of the strap, it still feels soft, flexible, and most importantly, comfortable. It has one annoying design oversight. As you slide your phone in and out of your pocket, the nylon strap will start to droop down. The strap is longer than the grip itself, so when you close the kickstand, it’ll get pinched inside and won’t allow the stand to fully close. It’s comfortable to use, but that quibble knocks it down.
Casely MagRing for $20: Unlike other metal grips I’ve tested, Casely’s MagRing is made of soft silicone. I find that more comfortable on my fingers. It also has a 360-degree swivel, so you can position the grip at virtually any angle. But unlike the Anker we recommend above, this one is strictly a grip, so you can’t use it as a kickstand. Since the grip doesn’t fold in, your phone won’t lie fully flat on a surface. I also tested the MagRing+ ($30), which comes with a ring clip for attaching your keys. That comes in handy for quick trips to the grocery store or when I go to the gym and need a place to put my car keys and key fob. But I prefer the standard MagRing, since I typically carry my keys in my pocket or my bag. Casely has a few variations of the MagRing and MagRing+ in stock, but it appears to be on its last legs.
Smartish Wallflower for $25: The Smartish Wallflower isn’t perfect, but I still love it. It comes with seven small suction cups that look like a flower, allowing you to attach your phone to a wall (or any other surface) and leave it be. It mostly works, but it largely depends on how heavy your phone is and what surface you’re attaching it to. I didn’t have issues with an iPhone 17 and drywall, but the iPhone 15 Pro Max attached to a particleboard cabinet was too heavy for the grip to manage.
