I will be reviewing the “Magsnap” released by Deff, which is a MagSafe-compatible kickstand and a finger hook that you can use to hang your iPhone on your iPhone 17 Pro. We will verify the usability of the thin and detachable device by attaching it to various cases including aramid fiber cases.
This article uses sample products provided by the manufacturer for review.
MagSafe detachable, can be used as kickstand or finger hook
“Magsnap” by Deff (Headquarters: Osaka/Tokyo) is a dual-wield item that can be used as a kickstand or a finger hook.
“Magsnap” can be attached to and detached from a MagSafe-compatible iPhone using magnetic force, so it can be removed and used for wireless charging.
It is possible to attach accessories such as a MagSafe stand or wallet while wearing “Magsnap”.
It comes in only one color, black, and can be purchased at Deff’s direct shop, as well as the official Amazon and Rakuten Market stores.
The selling price at the Deff direct shop is 1,980 yen (tax included).

Luxurious feel with machined aluminum + aramid fiber sheet
“Magsnap” has a CNC-cut aluminum alloy body with an aramid fiber (Kevlar from DuPont) sheet, which is also used in Deff’s popular smartphone case “DURO” series, giving it a luxurious feel.
A PET sheet is pasted on the back of the main unit to prevent scratches on the iPhone or case, making it smooth and slippery.
Great compatibility with aramid fiber case!
I installed “Magsnap” on an iPhone 17 Pro (silver) equipped with Deff’s “DURO Special Edition”. The common aramid fiber material creates a sense of unity.
By the way, when I attached it to “DURO” which is not equipped with MagSafe magnet, the magnetic force was insufficient. It is best to attach “Magsnap” to a case that supports MagSafe.
“Magsnap” weighs approximately 15 grams. Even when combined with the iPhone 17 Pro (206 grams) equipped with “DURO Special Edition” (21 grams), it is not at a level where you can experience the change in weight.
The main body size is approximately 56 mm in diameter, which is about the same as the MagSafe ring, and the thickness is approximately 3.3 mm. Even when attached to the iPhone 17 Pro, the protrusion is suppressed to the same level as the rear camera, and does not diminish the merits of the thin and light “DURO Special Edition”.
The arm of the kickstand has a cutout for your finger to hook into, allowing you to raise it with a light force.
The arm can be smoothly and steplessly adjusted without any clicking noise, and can be opened up to 120 degrees. In addition, the arm part is said to be highly durable, having passed a test of 7,000 consecutive opening and closing operations.
I tried putting it in and taking it out of the back pocket of my jeans and the inside pocket of my suit, but it’s so thin that it didn’t get caught, the arm didn’t lift up, and it didn’t shift when I put it in and out of my pocket.
“Magsnap” has a built-in strong neodymium magnet, so even if you hold the arm and shake the iPhone lightly, the iPhone will not fall.
When charging your iPhone wirelessly, just hold the arm and pull it gently to remove it.
Kickstand with adjustable angle
“Magsnap” is characterized by a kickstand that can be rotated to freely change the angle.
The side that touches the iPhone has a good sliding effect due to the PET resin sheet, but you can avoid friction with the case by lifting the main body slightly.
Turning your iPhone sideways is convenient for watching videos, playing music, etc. If you charge wired in this state, you can also use standby mode.
The arm smoothly opens up to 120 degrees, so it can also be used in a lying position.
If you use it in portrait orientation, it is convenient for video calls and watching short videos.
Of course, you can also use it in portrait orientation. This is useful if you want to view your iPhone from above.
If you use it by hooking your finger, you can prevent “smartphone finger”!
The arm of “Magsnap” can be used as a finger hook in place of a smartphone ring by hooking your finger when holding your iPhone.
I felt that it would help reduce the strain on the fingers, which is the cause of “smartphone tendonitis” and “smartphone finger” that occur when you hold and use your smartphone by hooking it onto your pinky finger.
When I use my iPhone on the train, etc., I often unconsciously put my little finger on it, but by holding my middle finger in the “Magsnap”, I was able to stabilize the iPhone and felt that the strain on my hands was significantly reduced.
I tried combining it with various cases.
I tried combining “Magsnap” with cases other than “DURO Special Edition”.
I tried attaching it to the iPhone 16 Pro with Deff’s “SNAPCOVER” notebook type case that can be easily attached and detached using MagSafe. If you combine the notebook type case with a stand, it will be even more convenient to watch videos while placing your iPhone on your desk.
I installed it in Apple’s genuine tech woven case (black). The calm design of “Magsnap” blends in without being overly assertive. By the way, the “Magsnap” attached to the Tech Woven Case was able to be rotated smoothly and with light force.
I tried combining it with Simplism’s MagSafe compatible clear case “Turtle FULLSPEC”. The calm atmosphere of “Magsnap” is a nice accent to the combination of silver iPhone and clear case.
Summary: Stylish stands and smartphone holders that adults can use
General smartphone stands and rings that make it easier to hold smartphones tend to be non-removable, making wireless charging impossible, or have designs that are too poppy or rugged, making it difficult for adults (especially men) to use them on a daily basis.
“Magsnap” has a high-quality and stylish design using aramid fiber, and you can continue to use it even if you replace your iPhone with a MagSafe compatible iPhone. Especially when combined with “DURO Special Edition”, you can enjoy a sense of unity like no other.
It goes well with Apple genuine cases and clear cases, and the reasonable price of 1,980 yen (tax included) is also attractive.
