MagSafe for Kindle & Fire with wireless charging

tomsem · 03-30-2023, 05:13 PM

I came across this product (probably available elsewhere):

These let you enhance most Qi compatible devices so they align perfectly on MagSafe charging pads, and can be used with various MagSafe accessories (mounts & stands for example).

As my Paperwhite SE and Fire HD8 Plus support wireless charging, I got a couple of these and so far they are working great.

My Fire HD10 Plus has a magnetic zone that helps to align it on my MagSafe chargers. But it's not strong enough to even lift the charging pad up, so I may stick a ring on there too for slightly better alignment.

Previously I'd gotten a clear case with a MagSafe ring for my wife's iPhone 11, which has wireless charging but not MagSafe. Prior to this, it would sometimes fail to charge, if it slipped out of alignment (common issue with Qi only charging).

I have some small circle magnets from Amazon. They are thin and have a sticky back. I put them on the inside flap of my Kindle leather cover so I can add a magsafe popsocket. I didn't think of trying my magsafe charger on it until I saw your post. Unfortunately, I don't think I put the magnetic stickers in the right place for that to work.

Yes, even cases for iPhones tend to have an additional magnet ring in them to help out (though my first case didn't have one and MagSafe still worked fine. I don't use a case so it is just stuck on the back (in the right location).

Wireless charging is pointless for no matter what the charger type you are still plugging something into an outlet anyways
