Liquid silicone is in a different class from regular silicone. It has a smooth, warm feel that's genuinely satisfying to hold — similar to Apple's own cases, but without the $50 price tag. The microfiber lining inside protects your iPhone's back from scratches even when the case flexes.

How to Tell If a Case Has 'Real' MagSafe
Not every case that says 'magnetic' is actually MagSafe-compatible. Here's how to tell the difference:
-
Look for a proper circular magnet array inside the case, not just a single metal strip
-
Check for N52 magnet strength rating — weaker magnets reduce wireless charging speed
-
Test with a MagSafe charger — it should snap and centre instantly, not just stick loosely
-
Verify it works with MagSafe wallets and car mounts, not just chargers
💡 All MagSafe cases at TheCaseCraft are tested with actual MagSafe accessories before listing. If it says MagSafe on our store, it works properly.
