Any of the cases on this list will work beautifully with Apple’s MagSafe charger, other MagSafe chargers, and MagSafe accessories.

This helps guide your iPhone to just the right spot, snapping it into place. Also, if you want to use MagSafe accessories like the MagSafe wallet, only a MagSafe-compatible case will work. Note that the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are the same size, so cases are interchangeable.
