If you’re anti-case, you can skip this pick. If you prefer protection (smart!), well then you shouldn't buy just any case for the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, or iPhone 14. A standard case will just weaken the magnetic attachment between the iPhone and the MagSafe accessory. Grab a MagSafe case instead—the official ones from Apple are totally fine, with a reliable ring of magnets inside. I like the leather cases, but the silicone ones will do the job for a little less, and they come in a variety of colors. The buttons remain clicky, the cutouts for the ports are accurate, and the entire bottom edge of the phone is protected too. (Though they do tend to attract dust and lint.)

Several brands sell MagSafe wireless chargers nearly identical to Apple's. Here are the models we've tested and like. Note: Most don't include a power adapter, so you'll want one that's at least 20 watts (like this one).

• Apple MagSafe Charger for $39: The official charger will charge your iPhone the fastest (15 watts) because it aligns to a very precise spot that allows for better power transfer. Unfortunately, the 3-foot cable is frustratingly short and makes it tough to use the phone while charging, unless you're right next to an outlet.
• Sonix Magnetic Link Wireless Charger for $30: Apple's MagSafe Charger's cord is too short. Sonix remedies this with a cable that's 6.5 feet, making it easier to use the phone while it's charging. It's flat, so it stays put on a desk, and you can choose from an array of fun colors and designs. The downside is that it charges slightly more slowly.
• Spigen ArcField MagSafe Charger for $25: Undercutting the competition with such a low price, Spigen's charger is arguably all you need if you just want the convenience of a MagSafe charger. It charges at 7.5 watts, with no power adapter included. The downside? The cable feels very flimsy.
• Courant Mag:1 Classics for $80: Despite what Courant says on its website, this charger will recharge your iPhone at 7.5 watts like all the other third-party MagSafe chargers. Still, it's one of the most luxurious models I've tried, with lovely Italian leather mixed with matte aluminum. The braided cord is nice and long too (6 feet!). It's expensive, but if you choose the Mag:1 Essentials version, you can get a nice linen material for $40. It comes with a travel pouch but no charging adapter.
• Nomad Base Station Mini With MagSafe for $70: Nomad's square wireless charger has a weak magnetic connection, but it's not meant to be held up while you use the phone, unlike the chargers above. Still, you get peace of mind with precise alignment. It charges at only 7.5 watts. Nomad includes a durable USB-C-to-USB-C cable but no power adapter.

I love this treelike wireless charger. It saves so much space on my desk, and I can recharge the iPhone at the fastest 15-watt charging speed possible, along with an Apple Watch and AirPods. It's a must-have for anyone who has all three of those devices (or any earbuds with wireless charging support). Belkin also has a pad version that adds MagSafe support for AirPods, but it takes up more room, and I much prefer the floating aesthetic. It's like magic!

★ Two Cheaper Alternatives: Satechi's 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand ($120) and Twelve South's HiRise 3 ($80) are slightly cheaper and more compact. You can squeeze in your Apple Watch at the back, wireless earbuds at the front of the base, and the iPhone can float on the stand nearby in portrait or landscape orientation. They don't charge as quickly as Belkin's system, but they do the job. Read our Best Apple 3-in-1 Chargers guide for more.
