Except for MagSafe compatible Apple cases of course.The vast majority use phone in a case which makes all these accessories near worthless as the magnets though the case are not strong enough.
Not strong enough still.Except for MagSafe compatible Apple cases of course.
What does that have to do with the country? There are plenty of products with good cable management.Lucky for them, that is not their problem. Cable management is the user's issue.
What a country!
I'd like a shorter cable!Now if Apple could finally release a MagSafe charger with a longer cable, then we could actually put all these nice stands into the places we would like to put them. 😤
Did you get them for free due to testing or writing a review? Full disclosure here, please. TIAYou will love it trust me I have a few and it’s great
Qi charges much slower and with much more power loss. The main point of MagSafe was to address those issues.The brilliant part about qi is that the charger doesn't have to be heavy because there no mechanical adherence.
Qi is superior for a charging stand. The Magsafe puck is cool if you need to charge and talk on the phone. A magsafe stand makes no sense to me.
Luke: $40??? We could almost buy our own ship for that!yep $40 sounds too much for a stand.
I like the fact that more companies are realizing that with MagSafe, it’s more functional to have a stand than it is a flat desk puck-style charger, whether it’s for desk use or bedside table. But as others have noted, the pricing for this 12 South stand is ridiculous. I understand that they have to build in multiple layers of margin in order to be able to sell these things into wholesale and retail, but they’re going to disappoint both consumers and retailers when people find knock-off versions for half the price.
But you’re still paying extra for the MagSafe itself. Both to me kills the pointI got something exactly the same from amazon in stainless steel for £15.99 so this is not worth the money
Totally agree. It would be great to see some higher end MagSafe stands designed with unique metals, woods or engineering, instead of the typical desktop class stuff that everyone seems focused on.For the price of this, I can buy an official Apple MagSafe charger and a cheap stand that looks better and is probably functionally on par with the 12 South stand. I'm not saying they don't make a quality product, it's just not an area that requires a premium-priced product with negligible benefits over cheaper ones. 12 South isn't exactly a luxury brand, anyway. If this were a Porsche Design or first party Apple product, then maybe paying a premium would be acceptable.
True, but I'd rather charge via Qi at 7.5 watts and not have to rip my phone off the stand every time I respond to a text message.Qi charges much slower and with much more power loss. The main point of MagSafe was to address those issues.
I use double sided tape and it doesn’t move they are all gonna move a bit but it’s easy to fix itIn the first one posted that has the video (the Amazon one) you can see it wobble in the video when she puts it down.
also at no point can you see them pick it up I assume bc the stand comes with it.
Id pay for the 12 south one if it was heavy.
Fair enough. My comments were addressed to your earlier statement that "Qi is superior for a charging stand."True, but I'd rather charge via Qi at 7.5 watts and not have to rip my phone off the stand every time I respond to a text message.
I think magsafe's true purpose in life is prepare for an eventual port-less iPhone. I just hope they keep the Qi standard charging ability.
Just got mine delivered from Apple's online store.Expensive, but I ordered one. I have a Magsafe charger, that I don't really use. It is slightly annoying putting the charger on and off. I think I'll like it a lot more on this stand.
