Best MagSafe Phone Grip Anker's MagGo 610 strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and durability. If I weren't in love with the look of my PopSocket grip (see below), I'd reach for this one all the time. It's comfortable to grasp, lightweight enough that it doesn't weigh my phone down, and it looks sleek.
The ring is sturdy enough to use as a kickstand in landscape mode, though it won't work in portrait orientation. It doesn't hurt that it's the cheapest MagSafe grip in this guide too. The Popular PopSockets MagSafe Grip I'm a bit of a PopSockets loyalist.
I've been using them for years and bought one for my iPhone and another for my Kindle. I find it the most comfortable out of all the grips, though that could just be because I've used them for so many years. The MagSafe PopSockets are my favorite because I can pop them on and off whenever I'm using a wireless charger or when I just don't need them.
But what makes PopSockets’ grips stand out is the sheer variety of designs and shapes they come in . I recommend buying through PopSockets' website directly, since you have more options to sift through. The one pictured here is the Dichroic Heart .
A Double-Jointed MagSafe Grip This is one of the most unique grips I've tested so far. The ring is more rectangular than circular, which took me a while to get used to. But ESR thought of all the details.
The inner portion of the ring has a smooth, rubber lining that makes it much more comfortable to hold for longer periods. It also has a dual-joint design with two rings connected. The first acts as a grip and stand for landscape mode, but you can pull the second out to use as a portrait-mode kickstand.
That ladder-like design comes in handy for FaceTime calls, especially while on the couch or at my kitchen counter. I also use it to keep my phone propped up on my desk throughout the day. Best Kickstand and Grip Combo If you're not used to MagSafe grips, they can feel a little awkward, specifically when finding a secure hold.
This one from Benks comes with both a ring and a grip. The ring acts as a kickstand, rotating 360 degrees, so you can switch between portrait and landscape orientation. Pop out the grip in the center, and you'll find a loop to put your finger through, allowing you to hold your phone more comfortably with one hand.
The grip comes in a variety of colors and prints, complete with the option to buy a matching phone case. Best Power Bank and Grip Combo MagSafe power banks are great for charging on the go wirelessly, but they can also feel unwieldy. This one comes with a grip that makes it easier to hold your phone while it's charging.
It also rotates 360 degrees, so you can prop it up in portrait or landscape orientation. The magnets on the power bank are strong, so it has a durable hold too. The power bank itself has a 5,000-mAh battery and is Qi2-certified .
That means it supports the latest wireless charging standard and can dish out faster wireless charging speeds. It can supply 15 watts wirelessly and 20 watts wired (via a USB-C cable). LEDs on the side show how much battery is left.
A Basic MagSafe Grip 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, this one is strictly a grip, so you can't use it as a kickstand. My only gripe is that, 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 you can attach your keys to.
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..
