TThe new MagSafe charge of the iPhone 12 is a brand new feature, but there’s one thing no one ever mentions: Separating the phone from a charger is not effortless, which means when you touch the device and forget that it is charged, you may pull the cord a little too hard. Nomad solution the problem is a 1.5-kilogram solid steel dock for Apple’s wireless charger, which leverages gravity to easily break MagSafe’s magnetic grip.
The MagSafe mount seems to be the simplest and crudest way to improve the use of the Apple MagSafe charger without physically attaching the puck to the surface of a desk or nightstand. Even the installation seems pretty easy. The MagSafe loader is low in accuracycut the hole in the top of the MagSafe holder, where it is securely fastened with a non-permanent microsuction tape that allows the puck should be removed as needed.
The charging cable is then routed to the base of the MagSafe bracket, and that’s about it. When an iPhone 12 is placed on top, it will automatically align and attach to the wireless charging puck, but when users go to pick up their device, the gravitational pulling force on the 1.5-kilogram stainless steel dock is stronger than MagSafe’s magnetic restraint, ensuring that everything except the phone stays firmly planted where it is.

It’s a simple solution, but a not cheap at $ 50. That does not take into account the cost of wireless charging hardware –all you get is a piece of heavy steel. So why not just use that microsuction tape to attach the Apple MagSafe charger directly to a desk or table? Well, rcharger positioning when an adhesive is involved it is not as easy as moving around the Nomad’s MagSafe mount. There is also a risk that the adhesive will affect the finish of a desk or table. The Nomad support has a giant non-slip rubber grip on the bottom, which should protect any surface on which it sits.
