MagSafe charger connects and disconnects with leather case

Charging my iPhone 12 with a MagSafe charger while there is a leather MagSafe case on the phone it constantly connects and disconnects. There is no such problem with a 3rd party "MagSafe" plastic case or without any case. Does anyone have the same problem?

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Hello komaromimarcell,


If the leather case is holding any items such as an ID, credit cards or passports, it's possible they could be interfering with charging capability and causing the intermittent disconnects.


  • "Don't place credit cards, security badges, passports, or key fobs between your iPhone and MagSafe Charger, because this might damage magnetic strips or RFID chips in those items. 
  • If you have a case that holds any of these sensitive items, remove them before charging or make sure that they aren’t between the back of your device and the charger."

These details are located in How to use your MagSafe Charger with iPhone 13 models and iPhone 12 models


Let us know if this helps.


Cheers!
