SAVE 50%: The iPhone 16e may not have MagSafe support, but these phone cases from Speck provide a nifty workaround for Apple's latest smartphone. Also, they're 50% off at Best Buy, just $24.99.
The good news: The budget-friendly iPhone 16e is almost here (you can even pre-order today starting at $599). The bad news: The iPhone16e bafflingly does not support MagSafe charging. That is, unless you have a third-party MagSafe-compatible phone case that would allow you to do so.
These cases from Speck are designed to fix the 16e's MagSafe issue, and they're currently sitting at a 50% discount — just $24.99 rather than the usual $49.99. They're going fast at Best Buy, so you'll want to be quick to snag this deal if you plan on picking up Apple's latest smartphone.
The aesthetically pleasing clear phone case from Speck isn't just style over substance. It's super protective while still maintaining a slim profile, being able to withstand drops up to 13 feet, and it's made from 50% recycled plastics. The case is also antimicrobial and employs a ClickLock system on the back to keep any MagSafe accessory of your choosing in place.
While we haven't tested this phone case ourselves, it should work with your new iPhone 16e. Mashable Senior Editor and Apple expert Stan Schroeder reports, "I cannot be completely certain that a third-party case with MagSafe will always work exactly the same as having MagSafe on the phone. But given that MagSafe is essentially a Qi wireless charger paired with magnets to automatically align with MagSafe chargers, and the iPhone 16e does support Qi wireless charging, it should work fine with MagSafe-compatible chargers. Some features, such as Find My for MagSafe Wallets, probably won't work (I will put this to the test once I get an iPhone 16e review unit). Still, if you're keen on getting the iPhone 16e, and you want to use MagSafe accessories, a third-party case is probably your best bet."
