The stainless steel mounts feature the company'southward custom (M)Force magnets, and a grippy rubber backing pad to provide a secure fit on either a case or a bare iPhone. In one case attached, they are designed to fit onto tripods, car vents or walls, or to adhere more than accessories to the iPhone via an unpowered "cold shoe" plumbing fixtures, such as an external microphone or light source.

As for the cases, these are made of either polycarbonate or TPU plastic, with several colors on offer, including options for a walnut or canvass finish. These feature magnets on the inside, but also offering an zipper betoken for a wrist strap and an optional lens mount insert if you ain Moment-made lens attachments.

If you're a Samsung user who's jealous of the iPhone's magnets, then Moment has you covered. Information technology offers (M)Force compatible cases for the Galaxy S21, which allows access to the same mounting system without needing inbuilt magnets.

Apple'south own range of MagSafe accessories includes the MagSafe charger, wallet and silicone and leather cases. The charger proved useful since the magnets mean it's a breeze to attach and showtime charging your phone. The wallets however have been widely criticised for defective force and easily falling off the back of the iPhone 12 when removing them from a pocket.

If these accessories sound like the iPhone 12 companions yous've been waiting for, they're available from Moment'southward website or Amazon. Unfortunately, it looks like there'south already quite a bit of demand based on the "back-order" labels on the Momentum store pages, so be prepared to await for a restock.

Update: Since MagSafe'due south debut we've seen a suite of accessories, including Razer's new and bizarre iPhone xiii MagSafe libation .
