Is there a good master list anywhere of cases with built-in MagSafe magnets? I'm on the market for one that'll hold well to a car mount, but can only find scattered information in these forums, or through various Google or Amazon searches.
Got a tip for us?

Same here. I like a case with a raised bezel around the screen for protection, as much or more than I like screen protectors. Not seeing many good options. Also, not seeing great options for dash, vent or other car mounting. Wondering if I can carefully cut out a circle from my favorite cases, Speck Presidio2 Grip, and have a MagSafe charger snap directly onto the back of the phone (thru the hole I’d be making in the case) for a secure mount?
I bought a few off of Amazon to test out, since they had free returns. The non-MagSafe case I've been using is from ANLCQC, since it best fits my preference for a thin, clear case with minimal screen lip.
Proker MagSafe Case
Only minimally thicker than the ANLCQC, but a much taller screen lip. Didn't really care for the design, though.
RESTONE Clear Magnetic Case
Adds way too much thickness to the phone. And the sides are a bit rounded, which spoils the flat edges.
MagEasy Magnetic Case (from SwitchEasy)
Adds a bit of thickness, but feels good in the hand. The MagSafe ring is only a circle, lacking the "teardrop" magnet which is meant to orient it on MagSafe mounts. Though for the other cases and car mounts I tested, that orientation magnet doesn't seem strong enough to do much.
All 3 had a good, strong hold on a MagSafe car mount. But none fit my preference for a minimalist case, adding too much heft, so they'll all go back. I'll keep waiting for one of the slim case manufacturers to add built-in MagSafe.

I purchased this:FYY Case Compatible with iPhone 12/12 Pro 5G 6.1", 2-in-1 Magnetic Detachable Wallet Case [Wireless Charging Support] with Card Slots Folio Case for iPhone 12/12 Pro 5G 6.1"
This case works perfect with the MagSafe charger. The animations comes on when you place the charger. The wallet part of the case is a little bulky, however you can just use the case. It is good protection.

I'm using the Spigen Mag Armor. Always liked Spigen cases, and this one is no exemption. Less than $20 also.
