How strong is the magnet, can you pick the phone up by the battery pack or vice versa? Seems less practical than the battery case that doubles as protection for the device and charges faster too.
- mholm 5y agoWhile I can't speak for this one in particular, all the magsafe accessories I've used so far have been more than enough to support the entire weight of the phone, without any wiggle. I'd much rather have this than a battery case, as this is much more convenient to just slap on and slap off, rather than removing/applying a full phone case. More storage efficient too.
- xattt 5y agoWhat is the physics textbook math behind this? Is there a certain magnetic force needed to induce a coefficient of static friction that prevents wiggle?
- mholm 5y agoFor the accessories I've used, it's been the texture of the materials providing most of the static friction, leather/rubber both have high static friction combined with the amount of force pressing them to the back glass. I have a magsafe car mount, and I'm pretty sure I could get in a car accident without it moving, but with a fairly simple twist I can pull it right off.
- passivate 5y agoHow often do you need to remove a phone case? For people who purchase one, I don't think its all that common to do so.
