MAG-RING PHONE STAND BASE

I don’t know if this is the strongest of it’s kind as others have suggested — although I can tell you it’s way stronger than my MOFT MagSafe wallet/kickstand.(Update 2: I bought some metal rings with adhesive backing to attach my MagSafe wallet to another item, and they came in a multipack so I stuck one on the back of my phone case and WOW it makes this Quarble thing grip ridiculously well. It’s so strong I had to pull the silicone cover off and superglue the magnet ring it because it was literally pulling the silicone ring off instead of just coming off. This product should come with metal rings like the ones I just got, instead of the metal plate that they give you, because that blocks wireless charging. These rings don’t!)By the way, this comes with a metal plate with adhesive, so if you have a non-MagSafe phone and don’t care about wireless charging, you can actually just use that, which seems pretty nice!As you can see, I don’t have an iPhone 12, I’ve got an older iPhone with a case that adds MagSafe magnets, and this product works great with it. It’s absolutely sturdy enough to use. But if I go shaking my phone around wildly, yeah, I can make it fall off. But it doesn’t fall off during normal use once you get used to it. This feels as strong as the magnets that hold my iPad Pro to my Magic Keyboard, to be honest. Of course, the iPad’s bigger and there are more of them, but you get what I mean. It passes the upside-down test with flying colors. Unlike that MOFT product, with this I feel assured that I’m not going to drop my phone on my face while lying in bed.I grip my phone pretty firmly with my syncwire ring holder (which, side note, is by far the best ring holder of the dozen or more I’ve used, and has lasted over a year). Even though I squeeze my phone while holding it in weird ways, this magnet keeps it held without falling off.I was worried that it would be annoyingly thick and heavy. And yeah, it’s honestly kinda thick, but its not as heavy as it looks, and the thickness actually isn’t a bother.Overall I’m quite happy with this purchase. It’s great to still be able to have my ring holder, but also have wireless charging when I want it, or a wallet when that’s needed.UPDATE:As you can see in my photos, I have made this magnetic base black, along with my phone case and ring holder. I learned some interesting things about this product in the process, worth knowing even if you don’t plan to modify yours.I got a new Syncwire ring holder for my phone, because my old one had a dent in it and I wanted to make everything look nice. So I used some dental floss to loosen the old one from this Quarble magnetic base, and then once I thought I’d loosened it enough, I pulled them apart. This was a mistake! It put a significant dent in the metal back of the Quarble. :(In an effort to salvage it, I pulled the silicone cover off (this doesn’t damage the silicone at all, btw) and had a look. The metal plate on the back is connected via an adhesive, so I pried it off with a credit card. Underneath was a black plastic layer that fills the inside. But it isn’t just a flat plastic piece — there’s some divots and a hole in it. The magnets inside are all connected to each other by a metal base, but not glued into the Quarble. So I thought well, I can work with this. I went to a hardware store and bought some gorilla glue liquid epoxy — its two tubes of stuff that you mix together and in half an hour it dries hard, and it binds to plastic, so I could use it to fill in these areas. But I also had to cover that little hole in the middle, so I had a brilliant idea! I stuck an NFC sticker to the other side of the plastic, mixed the epoxy, filled the plastic, and waited half an hour. Voila, it was pretty close to flat. Next, I used a circle cutting tool to cut circles from a spare vinyl skin I had (different brand than the phone skin) for both the back of my new ring holder as well as to cover the plastic and epoxy inside the Quarble. I popped the vinyl on, added the magnet ring back, slipped on the silicone cover, and stuck on my ring holder.Quite a process, yeah, I know. But now my Quarble, phone case, and ring holder all look better, and I can use the NFC sticker to trigger a Shortcut to run whenever I tap the Quarble to the top of my phone on the back, just like how you’d Apple Pay. I have mine play music — it gets every song in my library that I’ve listened to in the last two weeks and shuffles ‘em! It’s super cool to have! Quarble could add this to their magnetic bases for a few cents more, and it’d be so cool. You could get in the car, tap your phone mount, and then mount it, and as you did your phone would play your favorite playlist and open your favorite map app! But if they don’t add this, anyone can add it themselves. NFC stickers are very cheap — even if you just want to buy a few, you can get them on amazon for 50¢ or so, and in packs of 10 or so.Even with the issues I had with the metal getting damaged, and my design complaints, I’m still giving this product five stars, because even though it isn’t perfect, it does what they claim it does very well.

I use it with a casely bold magsafe case and absolutely no issues with adhesion on my iphone 13 promax.This thing is SOLID and hooks and holds my popsocket holder in my car like a champ. Just gotta figure out how to get the popsocket off now because it holds so well I've destroyed my popsocket and need to replace it, lol. It doesn't scratch my case and I pull it off and on a lot (adhd hands). Huge fan of this.

This item attached to my phone very well. However it does not allow charging on all wireless chargers. The chargers do work without the ring on the phone.

I already had a magnetic mount on my dash, but its magnets didn't align well with my official MagSafe case. I was looking for, basically, an adapter. I didn't want an entirely different mount. This item is a thick disc that sticks to my existing magnetic mount (through magnets) on one side, and provides a circular, MagSafe-compatible magnetic array on the other. It is the perfect item for my needs. I can now easily stick my iPhone 12 Pro, in its official MagSafe case, to this disc, which is (in turn) attached to my pre-existing mount. The hold is strong. This thing is not coming off.

I’ve had two problems with my iPhone 12 Pro:1. I was dropping it repeatedly, many more times than I’d ever dropped any other phone, and only in the first few months of ownership, and2. I was getting iPhone elbow, due likely to two factors, the weight of this phone and the shape, with its thick, flat sides.Finally they started making useful accessories, which is great. I love this little magnet. Yeah, it’sa little thick, but with it AND a popsocket attached to my big, ol’ phone, I can still carry it in my pocket if I so choose. And even I take it off, it’s only because I’m transferring my phone to the Quarble phone mount in my car.My only beef is that it’s black. It’s black, and so are my cup holders, the bottom of my purse, my car’s console pockets, etc. so when I take it off, I often cannot find it, even when it’s right there.I’ve been known to take it off indoors, too, to place it on my little phone stand in my kitchen. But my kitchen counters are black, and if I’ve placed it with the magnet side up, I can’t see it. At. All.I would ask Quarble to consider making the silicone cover in alternative colors. I’m ordering a new one, since this time I REALLY can’t find it, but black is not my preference. It just disappears into the background of everything.

Maybe I need to have a stronger magsafe case but this did not hold my phone secure at all. Other magsafe accessories work well with my phone case but this did not hold well. I do not recommend. I don't believe there are as many magnets inside this as the higher magsafe products it feels light.

At first this thing was great, build quality seemed fine and it was working well. I guess the glue got to hot out in the car because the metal plate that the popsocket attaches too came off. That's not a problem except for it's so sharp that it sliced my finger open like a razor blade.Took 2 days for the metal plate to pop off and slice me up, so needless to say it got returned (without the bloodied metal plate and biohazard)

I use the Magnetic Base on my iPhone 12 pro without a case. I feel the magnet on it is much stronger than my MOFT snap-on MagSafe wallet. Once attached, the base is hard to move. I feel safe when holding my phone by the ring holder adhered to the back of the Base. I may want to take off half star for 1) the base is a bit thick; 2) the price is a bit high for just the base. I wish it comes with a ring holder or a popsocket.
