I’ve had my iPhone 12 Pro with an Apple Silicone Case for 1.5 weeks now and I wanted to share my thoughts with all of you since Apple doesn’t allow reviews to be added to their store anymore. Show

Last year’s flagship phone is still a great pick. If you’ve got a 2020 model, here are the cases, chargers, and other extras you’ll want to snag. The iPhone 13 is here, but that doesn't mean you need to upgrade, or that last year's iPhone 12 line is a bad buy. Apple still sells the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini at lower prices, and you can find the Pro models at various retailers for a discount. If you don't need the latest and greatest, spending as little as you can on a smartphone is financially smart. It's also smart to use a case to protect your fragile smartphone. I've tested more than 50 cases and accessories, from wireless chargers to wallets, to kit out your phone—ones that are MagSafe compatible and ones that aren't. These are our favorites.

Read more Is the Apple MagSafe case worth it?If you're not fussed by fancy extras then the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max Silicone Case with MagSafe is 100% worth the investment. It's not going to slip out of your hands, it protects the camera well, and its shock-absorbent design makes it a great choice for everyday use.
Does MagSafe leave marks on silicone case?Apple says that the MagSafe Charger can leave circular imprints on leather cases. However, this can also extend to other cases as well. MacRumors reported that some users have already noticed the MagSafe imprint on their silicone cases.
Do MagSafe cases make a difference?Choosing MagSafe compatible accessories will help you make the most of your iPhone's capabilities and enable faster wireless charging. You should also choose a MagSafe case in order to protect your iPhone while ensuring that it can still connect with MagSafe compatible accessories.
What's the point of MagSafe case?Magsafe cases have magnets integrated into the back. This allows for the iPhone 12 to securely snap directly onto a Magsafe case and for external magsafe accessories, such as the wireless charger, to do the same.
