Each case is organically aged and vegetable tanned so that with a longer duration of use, it will become better and unique to the user. The case extends 1mm above around the camera area and the front of the phone to provide protection from drops and impacts. The interior of the case is made up of soft microfiber material from Japan that gives satin-like padding to your iPhone 12 Pro Max. The case is slim and supports the MagSafe charger and other MagSafe accessories.
2. Apple Silicone Case with MagSafe
After Apple announced that the new iPhones will have MagSafe, it also launched a bunch of accessories with it. Among these are the new cases that have inbuilt magnets for better MagSafe compatibility. As mentioned in its name, the case is made up of soft-touch silicone on the outside, and a soft microfiber on the inside. Between both these layers are magnetic metals that align perfectly for the iPhone 12 Pro Max and other MagSafe accessories.
With this, the case not only supports MagSafe accessories but also supports the traditional Qi Wireless charging. The case has raised edges over the camera area and on the front of the phone to protect it from scratches while keeping it on any flat surface, or in case of a drop.

The perfectly aligned magnets make sure that your MagSafe accessories snap in and out of place quickly and firmly. Along with the MagSafe charger, this one also supports the traditional Qi wireless chargers that we’re used to. Apple says that interaction with MagSafe accessories regularly might leave slight imprints with time which is natural for leather products.

Since the case is super thin, it works perfectly with the MagSafe charger and other MagSafe accessories. The case also works with other Qi-supported wireless chargers.
