Is anyone fortunate enough to experience with any 3rd party MagSafe battery pack for iPhone 12 variants?

This is early to ask but good to know what options we have at the moment.

Looking at this brand called “Oisle”. Can someone shed the light on me if anyone had chance with their products?

I've read on here people ordering and its pending but no reviews yet. I'm genuinely psych for these backpacks. Apple wasn't the first to add magnets on their phones but this is pretty cool tech they added to the iPhone.

EDIT: Oisle magsafe backpack has a 1 start rating on amazon lol so buyer beware. Unit failed after 1 day. I'd rather wait for the bigger companies to produce one.

I am taking with huge bottle of salt on 3rd party in general. Especially with battery pack although we won’t have flight travelling next year much .

Was scratching my head whether Apple will come out with MagSafe wallet style batt pack. It might just be a wish list to wait for long.
 
It seems like an obvious accessory for apple to produce.

I for one am looking for ravpower or anker to produce a viable product, which will likely be cheaper but doesn't compromise quality.

I ordered mine about 3 Weeks ago and received it yesterday.

I like it and the magenets are ok. Charging is only 5W or 7W if you connect it also to the wall outlet. The Powerbank can be charged with 18W and USB-C.

Here a few Pictures on my iPhone 12 Mini with and without Case and on my iPhone 12 Pro without case.

I like the idea but, I am going to wait for Apple or some other respected party. Hopefully, said accessory won’t mark the phone like the current MagSafe does.

Apple produce will be perfect. I guess it is the waiting game as they can earn another chunk as part of MagSafe accessory line.

Material seems nice to hold in hand.

How does the magnet hold with MagSafe case? Quite firm I hope.
 
The Magnet holds up pretty good. Not to strong and not to weak. I think it is the same as for the Belink Vent Mount.

And compared to the regular MagSafe Puck it does not leave any marks on the phone or case because the magnet parts are soft rubbered.

Belkin vent mount magnet is quite strong. I like being it soft rubber but concern that it will be wear and tear over time.
I’ll give it a go. I have ordered from Aliexpress for £47.
Currently 12 pro battery is not very lasting.
 
I did not get any marks on my 12 Pro. And also the back is not really scratchable and easy to wipe off.
I am pretty happy with the battery of my 12 Pro. I was concerned because I switched from the 11 PM to the smaller 12 Pro.

Good to know it does not leave marks on the phone. Would it be possible to post a picture of magnetic side of the battery pack so we can see what the rubberised part looks like? Thanks.
