When using magnetic charging, we might wonder: will my magnetic phone case affect the magnetic charging process? If I use a magnetic phone wallet with my phone case, will it affect the magnetic charging process? If you have these questions, then you definitely can't miss this article. We'll tell you what happens to your phone case and wallet during the magnetic charging process.
What is magnetic charging?
Magnetic charging is a technology that combines magnetic alignment with wireless charging. We can understand it from the two aspects of magnetic attraction and charging.
- Magnetic alignment: The phone and the power supply are aligned and connected together using the magnetic force between the magnets.
- Wireless charging: The principle of wireless charging comes from electromagnetic induction. The charger has a transmitting coil inside, and the phone has a receiving coil inside. When the charger is connected to a power source, it will form an interactive magnetic field. The phone's coil will generate current in this magnetic field and convert it into electrical energy to charge the battery.
During wireless charging, there may be instances of misalignment leading to overheating or charging interruption. This is where magnetism comes in handy. The magnetic force between the magnets connects the charging device and the phone, allowing them to automatically snap together and align, ensuring that both are in the optimal position. This makes the charging process more efficient and stable, and also prevents overheating.
What is a magnetic phone case?
A magnetic phone case has a built-in magnetic ring inside the phone case. The magnetic ring helps the phone complete the magnetic charging process or can be used with other magnetic accessories.
Some phones support wireless charging but lack a built-in magnetic ring. Users of these phones can purchase magnetic phone cases to facilitate magnetic charging. Other phones have built-in magnetic rings, but some users still choose to buy magnetic phone cases for better magnetic charging or to use with magnetic accessories.
The magnetic ring inside the magnetic phone case provides a stronger magnetic force to the phone, facilitating magnetic charging and improving the efficiency and stability of the wireless charging process. In addition, the magnetic phone case can be used with other magnetic accessories, such as magnetic stands, magnetic card holders, and magnetic power banks.
Does Magnetic Charging Work Through a Phone Case?
To answer this question, we can give a definite answer: magnetic charging can penetrate a phone case, but this requires certain conditions to be met for the phone case.
- First, the phone case should not be too thick. Wireless charging for mobile phones uses electromagnetic induction, so the effective range is relatively short, usually between 0-5 millimeters. Therefore, the phone case should not be too thick, as an overly thick case will increase the distance between the phone and the charger, preventing effective wireless charging.
- Secondly, pay attention to the material of your phone case, as different materials can have different effects on wireless charging. Magnetic charging works through electromagnetic induction, and metal can affect this process. Therefore, avoid buying all-metal phone cases. TPU and silicone phone cases, on the other hand, will not affect magnetic charging at all.
- Third, whether or not it has a magnetic ring. The presence or absence of a built-in magnetic ring significantly impacts the magnetic charging process, especially for phones without one. A phone case with a magnetic ring can enhance the magnetic charging experience. For phones with magnetic rings, a case with a magnetic ring further improves the magnetic charging process, providing the best possible experience.
In actual charging, magnetic phone cases can make the phone more stable and efficient during magnetic charging, reducing the chance of low charging efficiency or overheating due to inaccurate positioning.
What is a magnetic wallet?
A magnetic wallet, as the name suggests, is a wallet that attaches to the back of a phone or phone case using a magnet.
Unlike traditional wallets, magnetic card holders can be directly attached to the back of your phone or phone case. When you're out and about, you no longer need to carry a separate backpack to hold your wallet; you can simply carry it through the phone case. And unlike traditional wallets, you don't need to remove the cards before using them; you can use them directly through the wallet.
Compared to traditional wallets, magnetic card holders are more portable, and their integrated design makes them lighter and easier to use, allowing for convenient access anytime. Besides magnetic wallets, there are also magnetic accessories that can be magnetically attached to phones or phone cases for even better results, such as magnetic stands and magnetic power banks.
Will a magnetic wallet affect magnetic charging?
Unlike magnetic phone cases, magnetic card holders can slightly affect the magnetic charging process, especially when the wallet is placed in the charging area or contains metal or thick cards, which can somewhat hinder the magnetic charging process.
If you need to charge your phone magnetically while wearing a magnetic wallet, we recommend removing the wallet first to avoid overheating or reduced charging efficiency during the charging process.
How to choose the right magnetic phone case and wallet?
To choose a suitable magnetic phone case and wallet, you can start from the following points.
Magnetic phone case
- Does it have a built-in magnetic ring? For better wireless charging performance, you can buy a phone case with a built-in magnetic ring. The magnetic ring assists in the magnetic charging process. For example, aulumu magnetic phone cases all have built-in magnetic rings, so regardless of whether the phone itself has a built-in magnetic ring, the case can be used to complete the magnetic charging process.
- Thickness control. As mentioned earlier, overly thick phone cases can affect the wireless charging process. Therefore, when purchasing a phone case, pay attention to its thickness, focusing on the wall thickness data to avoid reducing wireless charging efficiency. Choose a thinner case whenever possible, such as the aulumu aramid fiber phone case, which is only 1.2 mm thick, allowing the magnetic field of wireless charging to penetrate the case.
- Material selection. Choosing phone cases made of TPU, silicone, aramid fiber, or leather can greatly reduce the impact of the phone case on magnetic fields, or even eliminate the impact altogether. Avoid choosing metal phone cases, as metal can significantly affect electromagnetic induction.
Magnetic wallet
- Magnetic strength. For better adhesion, choose a magnetic wallet with stronger magnetism. The stronger the magnetism, the better it will adhere to your phone case, and you won't have to worry about your wallet falling off.
- Card capacity. If you frequently use cards, choose a wallet with a larger capacity to hold more cards.
Besides magnetic wallets, the selection of other magnetic accessories is the same. You can choose according to the magnetic force and your own needs to find the magnetic accessory you are satisfied with. If you don't know which accessory to choose, you can take a look at aulumu's magnetic accessories. You can always find a magnetic accessory that you want.
Conclusion
Does Magnetic Charging Work Through a Phone Case? The answer is yes. As long as the correct magnetic phone case is chosen, it can enhance the magnetic charging process. Conversely, choosing the wrong phone case may reduce charging efficiency. Magnetic phone wallet are thicker than phone cases, so try not to charge them wirelessly together to avoid affecting the magnetic charging process.
