Magsafe - why didn't I try this earlier?

[Sway]

Had to pop into halfords, looked at the phone mounts as my galaxy fold is an utter pain in current one.

They had a demo magsafe unit, didn't even realise my case was compatible. Blimey, it's a good hold!

So, as they didn't have the type of dash mount I wanted, a spigen charging dash mount holder was procured from Jeff.

Utterly, utterly superb. I now see there's all kinds of magsafe accessories.

So, what have you got/tried that you'd recommend? Travel a fair bit for work, so wallet/powerbank both hold appeal.

I got a MagBak case for my S24 Ultra and it's been a godsend. My USB port has failed so I use a wireless battery back that just holds on to the case, it's great.

Usual things like car mounts (though our car is a bit bouncy and it sometimes tries to throw my phone in to orbit).

For me the handiest thing has been genuinely just sticking it to stuff. Checking oil at night on the car? Torch on and it'll stick to the bonnet. Doing DIY anywhere near boilers, ladders, anything metal essentially and it's super handy to just plonk it on things.

My wallet is a magsafe one so I can keep phone and wallet together if I need to, it's one with a trigger that slides the cards out.

I only really use magsafe chargers as they are easy enough to have dotted around the place.

Haven’t plugged my phone in to charge since September 2020 (iPhone 12)…

The Belkin desk charger that does phone, watch and AirPods is a good buy.

I've got MagSafe phone holders in both my cars, my wife's car and one on my desk, they are so natural to use.

I also use a MagSafe phone holder in my car and have a couple of MagSafe power bank chargers. One I leave at work and one I keep at home.

On a different note, I’ve bought one of these CarPlay screens for one of my cars. My phone connects wirelessly and it works well without any lag. There are cheaper ones out there but this has a decent sized screen and seems quite responsive.
