Are we only going to be able to get MagSafe cases from Apple or will other companies jump on and if so how much will apple take to the MFI?

If the point is to have magnetic attachments once you put a competitors case on if you lose that feature then is apple forcing everyone to their boring and frankly ugly cases released thus far?

It was announced that Belkin also will have MagSafe accessories soon, if not yet.
So yes, it’s safe to say third party MagSafes will be available soon.

I’m steering toward companies coming up with interesting accessories to take advantage of MagSafe.


Also Apple wasn’t the first to put charging magnets in use. The Palm Pre lineup took advantage of there wireless chargers by putting the Magnets in the charging Pucks that would grab the smartphone and hold them in place but of course Apple refined it
