This $14 ring on Amazon turns any iPhone or Samsung Galaxy case into a MagSafe phone case

MagSafe is one of the most popular iPhone features in recent memory, but if you’re not using a MagSafe-compatible case, you won’t be able to use the associated features like MagSafe charging.

While MagSafe phone cases from brands like CASETiFY and Mujjo are handy and well-made, they’re more expensive than standard cases since they come with a magnet already built-in. If you’re not willing to spend that extra cash, there’s an easy way to make your current case — or any case — MagSafe compatible with the $14 ESR HaloLock Universal Ring on Amazon.

It's easy to install and is compatible with iPhones and the Samsung Galaxy S23 lineup.

The ESR HaloLock Universal Ring 360 MagSafe Conversion Kit instantly upgrades your simple no-frills phone case to MagSafe to give you the benefits of fast and easy wireless charging. Keep in mind, though, that this is only compatible with PC or TPU cases without a non-slip coating, which aligns with most traditional phone cases.

Here’s how it works: the ring’s unique design triples the magnetic strength to ensure that your phone stays securely attached to any MagSafe accessory you use. If you’ve ever tried using a MagSafe accessory like a wireless charging station or Apple’s MagSafe charger with a regular phone case, you already know that your phone slides right off and doesn’t adhere. The ESR HaloLock Universal Ring 360 ensures that it stays attached.

While it may sound daunting to install, it's actually a breeze. It comes with a physical stenciled guide to ensure that you attach the ring in the center back of your phone case. Once installed, the ring can be removed, but not repositioned. Also, you get two ESR HaloLock Universal Rings in one box.

Also, many don’t know that MagSafe technology doesn’t just work with iPhones. It also extends to the Samsung Galaxy S23 series as well — and the ESR HaloLock Universal Ring 360 MagSafe Conversion Kit also works on that device. Just attach it the same way you would on an iPhone.

Thousands of Amazon shoppers say this genius invention is great for those who don’t want to upgrade to the latest iPhone, but still want to benefit from MagSafe technology and accessories.

“They really couldn’t have made the install any easier,” one five-star reviewer wrote after installing it on their iPhone XR.

Another shopper who used it on their Samsung Galaxy S23 added that installation “went on without a hitch.”

“The installation was a breeze and it works great,” the shopper wrote. “Starts charging right away and did not even get a little bit warm charging.”
