iphone 12 and non-magsafe case

There is a magnet built into the MagSafe coils beneath the glass back on the phone, so you should still be able to use a MagSafe charger without having to buy a MagSafe capable case. The MagSafe cases as I see them are more to permit you to add accessories such as the magnetic wallet Apple is selling, which likely would not attach without a MagSafe case with a magnet in the case.

And of course you can still use any normal wireless charger and never go MagSafe at all.

I hear there is a problem with the iPhone 12 charging wirelessly. Apple is supposed to be working on a fix.

I got a shieldon wallet iPhone 12 mini case and it will not work with MagSafe. The magnet in the wallet case shifts the magnets location and it will not align. Even if you force the location no charging is occurring. The case works fine on most QI chargers. Seems stupid of apple to not just adopt QI and give us something less in reliability.

Funny enough on Amazon it says nothing about MagSafe on the shieldon page and only that it’s not Qi compatible. If you say your case is iPhone 12 mini compatible why design not to be 100% compatible with all it’s functions.

A lot of cases were designed and manufactured before Apple even announced Magsafe on the new iPhone's. If you made an assumption a case was Magsafe compatible, yet the manufacturer NEVER said it was, you made an inaccurate assumption. Saying the case is compatible with iPhone 12 Mini, does NOT mean it is Magsafe compatible.

I now have two new cases for my new iPhone 12 Pro Max. Neither are Magsafe compatible. Which is actually fine with me as I have no interest in joining the Magsafe wagon. I don't have interest in faster charging as I put my iPhone on a Qi charging stand with outputs 7.5W at night while I sleep. Slower charging is healthier for the battery in our phones.

I bought an Otterbox Magsafe compatible case from Apply for a 12pro max. Sadly it will not allow my phone to be charged by my Belking Boost 7.5W Qi charger which has been charging my 11pro max through a leather case successfully.

A bit disappointed really.

Personally, I don't **EVER** want another case with a magnet in it. My Book-Book case for my 11 has a magnet base that holds the phone in the case. The case picks up EVERYTHING - my keys, ink pens, nail file. It is very annoying. I have LOVED previous versions of the book-book case, but not loving the magnetized one.

The the Shieldon Wallet case is not MagSafe Compatible. Not Apple's fault there. And Apple did adopt Qi charging as evidenced by the fact you said it works on most Qi chargers.

You probably have your phone and cases by now. But Otter Box does have a Magsafe case.

I know there's a case that charges the phone itself, but have no idea if it is light and easy to use... Anyone has it?

I have not had that issue with the MagSafe case. It’s working so far with the MagSafe wireless charger.
