The MagSafe Wallet and every MagSafe back accessory from now until the sun dies needs that grey back of this charger. Rene you can be specific on what material this really is but I think it’s a sort of soft plastic, and it’s great because it creates extra friction with the phone so it doesn’t detach. That was really a problem with the wallet because it was slippy leather rubbing against the phone as opposed to this Greg material that actually uses friction

Pretty much the best reason to have these is the ability to hot swap them. It does suck that it charges slower when just attached, but with the smart functionality, its good. The last thing I'd add is that similar to camera battery style, I would prefer to buy 1 apple battery and keep like a 10,000mAh Anker battery. Might give more charges. Charge apple battery when it depletes, and after a while, slap it back on. Might better more battery for the limited bag space.

I wonder now, if MagSafe was Apple's alternative solution to AirPower. The premise of AirPower is multiple device charging, anywhere on the charging pad. With MagSafe, the magnet makes it easier for you to place the device on the right spot. And instead of simultaneous charging for multiple devices, they give you more flexibility to charge your various accessories (on the go) with reverse wireless charging
