Hi. I am looking for a nice magsafe stand that doesn't do charging. I generally just plug it in when charging. I've looked on Amazon and a lot of the stands they have don't look like they'll hold up the phone. The one I want will have a wide, weighted base and won't tip over. Anyone know of something worth buying?

I have the Spigen Onetap on my desk and it’s brilliant.

It sticks to the desk so stays put when removing phone, and is faultless.

Thinking about the charging version for my bedside unit.

Don’t know why you wouldn’t just buy a device that has charging for a permanent spot like a desk or bed side… another example is in-car mounts, why even consider a MagSafe mount when the ones that can charge are similarly priced?

That said I have a few specialized or non-charging devices:

Moment tripod mount: https://www.shopmoment.com/products/moment-pro-tripod-mount-for-magsafe

MagSafe camera grip (does charge and also acts as a stand): https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-Bluetooth-Bracket-Smartphone-Wireless/dp/B0BRKSSH59/

Moft laptop phone holder: https://www.moft.us/products/snap-monitor-phone-holder-1

MagSafe FaceTime/Continuity Mount (similar): https://www.amazon.com/lepivcank-Continuity-MacBook-Compatible-Ventura/dp/B0BKQKMGTG/

Because I don't MagSafe charge. I just want my phone to stand there and look nice and be available for use. I never leave my phone just plugged in and I only charge when it gets below 40%.

you could alternatively buy a magsafe charger and separate stand and not plug it in :p
Yup. Or I could get one of those ones that lets you put the MagSafe puck in and use that. I do have a couple of pucks, I just don't use them.

Just looking for options. I've tried a few stands that ended up being not so good and got returned because they just weren't stable enough.

I know you asked specifically for magsafe, but a simple phone stand like this has served me well. Easier to take on and off than magnets too imo. This one's super adjustable too.
