If you've ever seen someone stick their iPhone onto a magnetic charger, wallet, car mount, or stand, you've most likely seen MagSafe in action.

MagSafe is Apple's magnetic accessory system for iPhone. Compatible iPhones have a ring of magnets built into the back. Those magnets let compatible accessories attach directly to the phone and stay in place while you use them.

A MagSafe case has that same magnetic ring built into the case. That means you can keep your phone in its case and still use MagSafe chargers and accessories without taking the case off.

Think of MagSafe as a way for your iPhone and accessories to connect magnetically. And once you start using it, it's pretty convenient.

How Does MagSafe Work?

The easiest way to understand MagSafe is to think about the back of your iPhone as a little magnetic docking station.

Compatible iPhones have a ring of magnets surrounding the wireless charging coil. When you bring a MagSafe accessory close to the back of your phone, the magnets pull it into the right position and hold it there.

That's especially useful for charging. Instead of placing your phone on a wireless charging pad and hoping you've lined it up correctly, a MagSafe charger snaps into position on the back of your phone.

But charging is only the beginning. The same magnetic connection works with a whole range of accessories designed to attach to the back of your iPhone.

What Can You Use With a MagSafe Case?

This is where MagSafe gets really fun.

Once you have a MagSafe-compatible iPhone and case, you can use all kinds of accessories without plugging anything in or constantly taking your case off.

MagSafe Chargers

The most common MagSafe accessory is the charger. Simply place your phone near the charger, and the magnets snap it into place. Your phone stays aligned while it charges, whether you're working at your desk or winding down for the night.

Magnetic Wallets

Don't want to carry your whole bag just to run out for coffee? A MagSafe wallet attaches directly to the back of your phone, giving you an easy place to keep a few essential cards. When you need it, snap it on. When you don't, take it off.

Car Mounts

A MagSafe car mount makes it easy to keep your phone visible while you're driving. The magnetic connection holds your phone in place, so you can see your navigation without balancing your phone in a cup holder or wedging it somewhere on the dashboard.

Stands

A magnetic stand can turn your phone into a little hands-free screen.

Use one at your desk while you're working, prop your phone up while you're watching something, or keep it beside your bed for easy access. The magnetic connection makes it simple to attach and remove your phone whenever you need it.

Battery Packs

MagSafe battery packs attach to the back of your phone so you can add extra power without carrying a separate charging cable. It's especially handy when you're traveling, spending a long day out, or know you'll be taking about 400 photos.

Do You Need a MagSafe Case?

If you already use MagSafe accessories, a MagSafe-compatible case makes life a lot easier.

Your iPhone may have the necessary magnets built in, but a regular case can get in the way of that magnetic connection. A MagSafe case has a magnetic ring built into the case itself, allowing compatible accessories to connect without removing your case.

If you're shopping for a new case and know you'll be using MagSafe accessories, it's worth choosing one that's designed for it from the start.

That way, you get the protection and style you want without giving up the convenience of your favorite accessories.

MagSafe, But Make It Wildflower

Wildflower MagSafe cases combine the magnetic functionality you want with the bold prints and statement-making designs you actually want to carry around. Each case features an Apple-certified magnet and a protective raised bumper around the phone.

So you can snap on your charger, wallet, stand, or other compatible accessory and still have a Wildflower case underneath it all.

Because your phone accessories should work with your life, and look cute while they're doing it.
