MagSafe Charging Stand

This phone stand was designed to perfectly incorporate a MagSafe charger, allowing my iPhone 13 mini¹ to be propped up at an angle, in any orientation, using only the magnets in the charger. The stand has four feet to prevent slipping (made of hot glue), a precisely sized cable cutout, and a shape with a carefully designed center of mass for proper balance.

I designed this stand using SolidWorks and produced it using tools at the Elko Engineering Garage.

My design is featured on the University of Alberta’s Elko Engineering Garage “Garage Makes” page.

¹ This charging stand is only compatible with the following iPhone models: iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 13 mini.
