Design and materials
Like the one Mophie used in her new 3-in-1 travel charger, the magnetic carrying stand has a super soft fabric on the outside. The interior also has a smooth surface, although slightly different from the exterior.
Metal is used for both hinges, the bottom one reminds me of the design of the iPad Magic Keyboard hinges. The MagSafe compatible disc is covered with black silicone (or rubber) to prevent scratching your iPhone or case.
The Mophie Magnetic Carrying Case is great and fits in a 5.6-ounce bag, yet it's solid and durable thanks to a solid core and metal hinges.
Please note that this is not an active aspect, as MagSafe is only for magnetic connection to a compatible iPhone (or any device with a mophie snap adapter).
In use
For several weeks, I've been using the mophie magnetic portable stand and have found it to be a really useful item in a number of situations.
With a totally foldable and lightweight design, it's ideal for travel and desk setups, but it's also wonderful for usage around the house, such as in the kitchen, on a bedside table, on the bathroom counter, and more.
The bottom hinge can be adjusted 180 degrees, while the top hinge may be adjusted 90 degrees. That means you can achieve the ideal viewing angle for your iPhone, whether it's at eye level or you need a top-down view in the kitchen or elsewhere.
And, thanks to the MagSafe capability, you can simply switch between portrait and landscape modes on your iPhone.
Constructive thoughts
The only minor flaw with this stand is that it wobbles slightly when tapping or swiping on your iPhone. It's only a logical result of the foldable and very flexible two-hinge design, in my opinion. However, holding on to the back of your iPhone while touching or tapping more softly is a simple approach to avoid wobbling.
I seldom need to charge my iPhone during the day, so this stand's lack of power is really a plus. However, for those who like more flexibility, I think a second version with a USB-C connector in the bottom hinge – similar to the iPad Magic Keyboard – and wireless charging through MagSafe would be fascinating.
Conclusion on the mophie magnetic portable stand
Whether you travel regularly or not, I believe this made-for-MagSafe stand is simple to suggest because of its adaptability, which makes it useful in a number of situations.
The magnetic portable stand costs $39.95 direct from mophie and Apple (typically 20 percent off or up to 30 percent off when purchasing two devices).
