If you've got an Apple iPhone 12 then you have a technology that makes your current phone case obsolete: MagSafe. Sure it's designed to help you center the Qi wireless charger on the back so you can wirelessly charge fast, but turns out cases can utilize that same built-in magnet system too. Tech expert Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ explores the cool Jessir MagHolder MagSafe Wallet Stand for the iPhone 12 line (and any other phone you want with its included metal disc).
On Kickstarter until April 20, 2021.

It's a MagSafe wallet stand for your iPhone 12
0:03
Let's check it out. Dave Taylor here, and I'm checking out the Jaseer MagHolder MagSafe Wallet Stand
0:17
That's what this is. You can see it's really small. It's actually made out of vegan leather, though it looks like real leather, and it has a stand on it
0:26
What's most interesting is that it's actually designed for the... the MagSafe Chi wireless charging system on the iPhone 12 line
0:35
So with my iPhone 12 Pro, you can see I can put it on the back and without any
0:41
adhesive or anything else, it's strong enough to hold my phone or of course to put
0:47
it in two of the most common angles and then I can put it flat and I'm good to go
0:53
But it actually has a secret fourth position because you can turn it sideways and
0:58
now I can do something like this. which is a pretty fun way to do like a video chat or watch a movie or something
1:05
I'm not sure that it has a huge benefit over the more traditional horizontal
1:10
but it's pretty cool. And in terms of how strong it is
1:14
magsafe is strong enough to keep a charger on the proper spot on the back of your iPhone 12 for charging
1:22
but it's not insanely strong as magnets go. But as you can see, this is not shaking off
1:28
So it definitely works. Now, let me tell you just a little bit about it by opening up one of the boxes
1:34
They sent me a bunch of these so I could see different sizes and different colors
1:40
So all of these, these are the three different sizes. Let's start with sizes, right
1:43
So this that comes in three different sizes and you can see them here So the middle one is the mini That for the iPhone 12 mini And then we have the medium which is this one which is for the iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 pro
2:00
And then we have the max. And that's for the largest of the three, four possible iPhone 12 sizes
2:07
And here's the thing. You're thinking, well, okay, but what if I don't have an iPhone 12
2:13
They've got you covered. So we open up the box. and all of these are, I should say, color, these are all California poppy, is one of the four colors it comes in
2:23
Now, this example is the mini size, I think, and this color is actually Baltic blue
2:32
So it's a nice, subtle blue. And of course, this will work perfectly fine on my phone, too
2:38
Actually, because it is the mini, it has a little bit more space on the bottom
2:42
So probably not the optimal size for my iPhone 12 pro. but it'll still definitely work
2:48
Let me just sort of open it up. I could still use this size without a problem
2:53
But what I want to point out is that it also includes
2:56
in every single container this. And this is a 6 centimeter or 2.4 inch metal disc
3:05
with a 3M sticky back on it. So if you don't have a MagSafe phone
3:11
and you really want to use this stand, you can put this on the back of your phone
3:16
and now it has something to use for its magnet. And it actually feels it's a little stronger when you use the disc
3:24
Obviously, if you have a 12 or perhaps the iPhone 13 at some point, you won't need the disc, but it does give you that option
3:32
Now, one of the other things it has is it has space for up to two cards
3:37
So I put a credit card in mind and as you can see it pretty easy to take it out or put it back in I could do the same thing while it on the back of my phone though it a little tricky If you put two cards in I have to say assuming these prototypes are exactly the size and stitching and thickness and everything
3:59
it's going to be a little tricky to get two cards out. Now, they do have a little slot, so ostensibly you can push with your finger, but I'm finding that that is
4:11
As you can see, not entirely effective. So I would say most of the people I know that use these sort of wallet units
4:18
just have it for their driver's license if they're going to go out and socialize
4:22
or go to a bar or something. And that works pretty well. If you do something like that, be aware that this is only a magnet
4:29
So it is ostensibly possible you can end up going home and saying, uh-oh, where's my back
4:36
Now, it is a pretty strong magnet, but it's still just a magnet
4:41
is an enclosing case. So that's something you really want to know about. Now, one other cool thing
4:47
is that this is RFID blocking. So if you do have your driver's license in here, you don't have to
4:53
worry about someone walking past with one of those skimmer gizmos and getting any data off of it. So that's
4:59
nice. All right. So what do we need to talk about here? I've said, as I said, there are three
5:05
different sizes. There are four different colors. This is only two of them, obviously. The four colors are
5:11
Baltic blue and black and California poppy and saddle brown. The leather is actually vegan leather
5:18
You really, I mean, I really thought it was actual leather. They've come a long, long way with
5:22
these artificial leathers, which is great. So what we need to talk about is the price. And right now
5:27
it's on Kickstarter for at least another week or two. So if you're watching this video and it's still
5:34
what April of 2021 then you really want to jump on to Kickstarter and get it before it goes up to its full retail price But before I get to the price let me ask if you can give me some feedback give me a thumbs up
5:47
thumbs down if you really must, give me some comments, what do you wish I would have tested or demonstrated
5:53
And of course, if you're so inclined, go ahead and subscribe to my channel
5:56
It's a click or a tap on that little subscribe button on the lower right, and we are subscribed
6:02
Super helpful. All right, then let's talk about this. Whoops, let's try to find the right size
6:10
This is the Jaseer Mag Holder MagSafe wallet stand. Currently on Kickstarter, it's going to be $39 retail
6:21
but the early bird Kickstarter pricing is $19 for one of whatever size or color you prefer
6:28
That's going to bump up to $25 before the campaign ends. and then obviously it'll be at $39 for full retail
6:36
If you really want to get two, maybe two different colors, or one for your phone, one for your partner's phone, as the case may be
6:43
the current retail price is anticipated to be $78, but the Kickstarter price for $2 is $35
6:52
That's a pretty good deal. This is pretty slick, and I really like that I have this super convenient stand
6:58
just right there on the back of my phone. Lots to like about this. Definitely one worth checking out. The link to the Kickstarter campaigns in my video description, and I'll hope to catch you in my next video
