I looked through the usual list of iPhone case makers (e.g., Speck, Otterbox, Incipio) and none mentions MagSafe compatibility. I presume MagSafe attachments will just work, at least on thinner cases?

This puts me at a quandary. I almost always buy a case that protects the screen like Apple's Leather Folio case. No such case is announced this time around, except for the Leather Sleeve which looks too tedious to use.

So I am more or less forced to get a non-MagSafe certified 3rd party case and take the risk (e.g., Otterbox Strada).
 
Apple (probably) didn't give any manufacturers a heads up about MagSafe. So it may be awhile before 3rd party MagSafe compatible cases are available.
 
I believe if the cases permit wireless charging, then they should be able to accommodate magsafe charging too.

They don't actually use MagSafe in the advertising but they do in the Q&A.

compatible with both
I just looked at their website again and they must have updated it. Now it says right on there "This MagEZ Case is compatible with MagSafe® System, and works with both MagSafe® Wallet and MagSafe® Charger." So this is awesome.
