MagSafe phone grips are now essential for many users, offering secure holds and personality without sacrificing convenience. A new 2026 guide from *Wired* highlights five top picks tested over months of daily use, including PopSockets’ classic design and Benks’ reinforced ArmorPop ring.
The grips attach and detach quickly via Apple’s MagSafe magnets, doubling as kickstands for video calls or streaming. ESR’s dual-ring HaloLock stands out for its portrait and landscape flexibility, while Baseus combines a 5,000-mAh power bank with a 360-degree rotating grip for on-the-go charging.
Compatibility remains a hurdle: grips work best with MagSafe-enabled iPhones or Qi2-certified Android devices. Samsung’s latest Galaxy S26 series, for example, only supports Qi2 features with a magnetic case. The guide also notes upcoming Qi2-native Android phones, which could broaden MagSafe accessory use.
