This MagSafe adapter from Elago is a reusable sticker that makes any phone MagSafe compatible — including the new iPhone 16e.

This MagSafe sticker allows you to use the growing number of MagSafe accessories. That includes MagSafe chargers, battery packs, storage drives, car mounts, and more. If you’re looking for the best mag safe solutions, check out this guide on the Elago MagSafe sticker to make any device compatible with magnetic accessories.

MagSafe adapter: Sticker retrofits MagSafe onto your iPhone or Android

MagSafe is an improved version of wireless charging. It includes the usual inductive charging coils. But there are also magnets in the back of the handset so it clings its charger in exactly the right spot.

Currently, only the iPhone 12 and up have MagSafe built in. But iPhones going back to iPhone 8 support wireless charging. So if you have an iPhone 8 or later — or the new iPhone 16e — this sticker makes it MagSafe compatible.

Elago’s MagSafe adapter is as a stick-on silicone circle with a ring of magnets embedded in it. Attach the MagSafe Guide Sticker to any handset that supports wireless charging and you can use many MagSafe accessories with it.

That includes iOS devices going back to the iPhone 8. And many Androids support wireless charging. To be sure your MagSafe adapter sticker is in the right place, Elago’s accessory comes with installation guides for multiple different phones. And the adhesive is reusable.

With this MagSafe adapter, any of these handsets can use Apple’s MagSafe Charger or the Belkin Boost↑Charge Pro 2-in-1 Wireless Charger. And there are many more — including MagSafe wallets, magnetic battery packs, external storage drives, car dashboard mounts, and more.

The Elago MagSafe Guide Sticker is available in four colors so it matches your phone: black, stone, sand pink and jean indigo. This MagSafe adapter is available now on the Cult of Mac Store for $18.99.
