So I received an Apple gift card about a month or 2 ago and bought a saddle brown leather case for my 12 Pro. I have about $30 left on my gift card and I’m curious what y’all think I should get:
- MagSafe charger (cool but the 20W wired charger I have is faster and doesn’t leave an imprint)
- MagSafe Wallet (slim but I use Apple Pay on my watch often)
- Belkin car mount (I have a cubby where my phone fits and the mount doesn’t charge)
- Apple Watch band (Nice but I haven’t felt the need to change it really)
- Save the $30 for later accessories

Would love any comments too!

I bought the Apple silicone case with MagSafe. Hadn’t planned on buying any MagSafe accessories/chargers as I already have a couple of fast plug in chargers.

I thought that the MagSafe case would be strong enough to hold securely to my current magnetic car mount. However, that was not the case. So I figured if I was going to buy a new car mount, I might as well get one that charged with the MagSafe also. I did a YouTube search and found a nice review by ENFORCERMAN on the Zeera MagSafe auto mount/charger. This Zeera is just what I was looking for. It holds my phone very securely even over the back roads in NH which are full of pot holes and frost heaves. It also prompts the MagSafe green circle with the charged amount to show on the phone. I haven’t done any scientific measurements but it definitely is charging more rapidly than most of my home chargers. I highly recommend it. Took about 10 days to receive it.

I want that mount but seems the apple leather case won't work with it. stating it's too slick. I don't need it to charge, only for a mount as I need to plug in for apple car play to work.

Ooh that’s really good to know, where did you see that it was possibly too slick?

It's on Zeera's own sales page.
If your phone is wearing a phone case, please use the original Clear/Silicon MagSafe case or a ZEERA MagSafe case with enhanced magnetism. (Leather MagSafe Case is too slippery to hold your iPhone 12 while driving)

That’s too bad that it doesn’t work with the leather. I bet it cost them quite a bit of sales.
