this Anker accessory adds extra grip to your iPhone with MagSafe

MagSafe has opened the doors to an entire ecosystem of accessories. Accessories that go beyond portable batteries or wireless chargers. And it is that Anker has created a ring to grab the iPhone comfortably (15.99 dollars on Amazon), similar to those that have become fashionable recently (the so-called Popsockets) but using MagSafe. We have been using one daily for several weeks and our experience is as follows.

Magnets to better grip your iPhone

First of all, it should be specified that this Anker ring only compatible with iPhone with MagSafe, so it belongs to the brand’s MagGo family of accessories. That is, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 (and subsequent models). Works with uncased and case-encased iPhones protectors, although they must be compatible with MagSafe. With that cleared up, it’s time to take advantage of this new grip system for your iPhone.

Anker’s ring easily snaps onto the iPhone. Being a MagSafe system, we only have to bring it closer to the terminal, leaving the apple in the center. The strength of the magnets will do the rest and stick it to the iPhone.

The accessory consists of two rings: one that attaches to the iPhone via MagSafe and one that we can twist and pull to grip or use as a stand. This inner ring is difficult to move the first few days. To the point that to remove it you have to take off the accessory from the iPhone, turn it over and put it back. But over time it loosens up a bit and makes it easier to move around.

I recently discovered a trick and that is that you don’t have to remove the Anker ring to rotate it and change its angle on the iPhone. Simply unfold the inner ring and rotate it to make the whole thing move with surprising ease. Of course, it may leave marks if you use it with a cover.

Magnetic ring from Anker: support and grip for your iPhone with MagSafe

With this accompanying letter, we have already clarified the operation. It’s nothing complex and requires a “break-in” to start squeezing it. The advantage of this accessory is that it does not require adhesives or covers. Simply place it on the MagSafe and it sticks to the iPhone.

You can put it on and take it off whenever you want. Without leaving stains on the covers or the device itself. Of course, in use, the white model will darken, so we recommend the color “interstellar gray”. In this document, the passage of time is surely less noticeable.

One aspect that we have not mentioned is that we don’t have to use this ring when we want to use wireless charging, either the traditional or the MagSafe. The support mode, in which the central ring is unfolded as much as possible and the iPhone is placed on a table or any surface, adds comfort when watching films and series. However, we will not be able to place the iPhone vertically to see notifications or make FaceTime calls.

If you were looking for a similar, well-built accessory, this anker ring is a great answer to your needs.
