Is this case for your MagSafe charger completely useless?

Yes, it exists: a leather case for your MagSafe charger. Stylish, but isn’t it completely useless?

The unveiling of the iPhone 12 gave users a new option: wireless charging with MagSafe. Wireless charging is already possible from the iPhone 8, but with MagSafe your phone sticks to the wireless charger with a magnet. Useful in a number of ways, including that you can just pick up your phone while it’s charging. Also ominous considering this makes the Lightning port more or less obsolete, but that’s for another time.

Apple’s controversial decision to stop putting a full charger in the box does provide a choice. Do you opt for ‘just’ a charger with Lightning connection, or do you buy a new MagSafe charger? If you have opted for the latter, then there is now an ideal accessory for you. At least, he’s a bit between genius and stupid.

The company Nomad already sells a wide range of leather accessories. Cases, bands for your Apple Watch and even a case for your AirPods (Pro). There is now a leather ‘case’ for your MagSafe charger. As you can see in the image above, this is the best way to get your iPhone on its MagSafe charger to match with your other Apple gear.

Matching

Nice in itself if you already have the leather case for your iPhone, but otherwise the leather MagSafe case seems more like a gimmick than protection. Anyway, nice to match with the rest of all Nomad accessories. So far only useful if you have an iPhone 12 with MagSafe functionality and it’s not much more than some kind of oversized Droste chocolate either. Protection is always good, but the MagSafe charger seems to be a fairly robust thing anyway.

Whether you like this or are indeed looking for the benefit, that’s up to you. In any case, you can order the leather MagSafe case from Nomad. That’s going to cost you $24.95. You can choose from black and brown.
