With MagSafe, the new line of cases will automatically snap onto the back of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, making for super easy application. Charging accessories will do the same, leading to ultra-simple charging of up to 15W.
Shoppers should note that the accessories listed in this article are not available to purchase yet, and will likely launch at the same time that iPhone pre-orders do, starting this Friday for iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. On November 6, pre-orders will go up for the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
To start, there's a Silicone Case with MagSafe for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. It's available in Plum, Deep Navy, Kumquat, Cyprus Green, Pink Citrus, White, Black, and (PRODUCT)Red. It's priced at $49.00.
The same Silicone Case with MagSafe is available for the iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 mini, and in the same colors. They're also priced at $49.00.
The Clear Case with MagSafe is available for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, the iPhone 12 Pro Max, and for the iPhone 12 mini. It's priced at $49.00.

Of course it does. As you an see in the product photos it's the same opening as previous years as the opening at the bottom isn't just for charging but for the speakers too.I hope the MagSafe cases have an opening at the bottom to allow the phones to be charged with a lightning cable - for those who do not opt for wireless charging. Unlike the previous Apple cases for iPhones, the MagSafe cases seem to be fully cover the bottom edge of the phone.
What covers the bottoms? The clear case and silicone case have an open bottom just like past years models so nothing obstructing one from swiping home.I hate that it covers the bottom, I love how the bottom is open on the 6-11 cases so swiping home feels clean
Things like dust, sand and lint is not going to make the case fall off. You’d have to have HUGE amounts of detritus between the phone and case and I’m not sure if even that would break the magnetic bond. The only way I could see getting an amount of stuff between the case and phone, would be if you took the case off, poured a cup of stuff into the case then tried to put your phone in it.Leather was mentioned, I'll just assume right now they are coming soon.
It was mentioned already, can I SLIP the phone snug inside these case rather than relying on just a darn magnet. If not, I am not a fan of that what so ever.
Yes dirt and other junk can easily slip inside. Over time, I can see myself holding the phone in this case and the phone simply falling out.

These MagSafe cases are still going to have a tight fit on the device. One thing that will be similar, is how you will have to pry the case from one end or edge in order to release it from the phone. In order to break the magnetic bond, much like with the iPad Pro’s Magic Keyboard, you have to pull from one edge to get it to pop off. This will also be true of the MagSafe charging puck.
I think it looks great and can't wait to get one!How did they manage to make the clear case so ugly?
The presentation mentioned a leather case so it's coming...not sure when though.No leather case?
Best hope you don't need the mag stripes on your credit cards to work after using that mag safe case....
Will the MagSafe wallet pass-through charging, though?
Exactly. I can’t find this anywhere. If not, then what’s the point? I can get a cheaper and more functional third party wallet case from any number of companies.
It’s on the product page. You have to remove the wallet. And that makes perfect sense since the wallet is shielded.
Thanks!
In that case, it kind of defeats the purpose of having a magnetically attached case, though.
From charging perspective maybe. But from the wallet perspective no. It’s totally removable. I don’t plan on leaving the wallet on my phone 24/7.
I'm sure a third party will make a really nice magnetic money clip/wallet that will fit 3-5 cards plus cash. I personally need 5+ cards everywhere I go, so maybe that does it. Would be nice...
