The new Samsung Galaxy S26 is almost here. You are probably going to buy it. It will be shiny. It will be fast. It will also be expensive. You do not want to break it on the first day. So, you need a plan. You need a case. But do not just buy the first cheap piece of plastic you see online. You need to think about how you actually use your phone.
We need to talk about MagSafe.
Yes, I know. MagSafe is an Apple thing. It started with the iPhone. But here is the secret. It is actually amazing for Samsung phones too. You just need the right case to make it work.
What is the Deal with MagSafe?
Samsung phones have wireless charging. That is built-in. But they do not have the magnetic ring inside the phone like iPhones do. This is where the case comes in. A MagSafe-compatible case has magnets inside the back of it. These magnets form a ring.
This ring changes everything.
Without the ring, wireless charging is a pain. You put your phone on the pad. You miss the “sweet spot” by an inch. You wake up the next morning. Your phone is dead. That is a bad start to the day.
With a Samsung MagSafe case, this does not happen. The magnets grab the charger. They snap the phone into the perfect spot. It charges every time. You do not have to guess. You do not have to fiddle with it. It just works.
Why You Want This for the S26
There are three big reasons to get a magnetic case for your new Samsung.
- The Car Mount
Driving in New York is crazy enough. You do not want your phone sliding around. Old car mounts are annoying. They have these big plastic claws. They are hard to open. They break.
Magnetic mounts are simple. You get in the car. You tap your phone against the mount. It sticks. It stays there. It is fast. But you need a case with strong magnets. If the magnets are weak, the phone falls when you hit a pothole. - The Accessories
It is not just about charging. It is about the other stuff. You can snap a wallet onto the back of your phone. You can snap on a battery pack when you are out late. You do not need to carry cables. It makes the phone do more work for you. - The Grip
Some of these magnetic accessories are ring holders. They help you hold the big phone. The S26 will likely be big. A magnetic ring grip helps you text with one hand. It helps you not drop it on the sidewalk.
Which Case Should You Buy?
There are a lot of options. But you should look at ESR.
ESR makes serious gear for Samsung. Their Galaxy cases are tough. They are not flimsy. But the best part is the magnets. They use a system often called HaloLock. The magnets are strong. Really strong.
When you put an ESR case on your Samsung, it feels solid. The buttons click nicely. It protects the screen if you drop it face down. The corners have air guards. This absorbs the shock if it hits the concrete.
But the magnet is the selling point. You can stick it to a fridge. You can stick it to a gym machine. It holds tight.
How to Choose
When the S26 comes out, look for these things in your ESR case:
- Strong Magnets: This is number one. Weak magnets are useless. ESR is known for having a strong lock.
- Kickstand: Many ESR cases have a little stand built around the camera. It is hidden. But you can pull it out to watch videos. It is very handy.
- Raised Edges: Make sure the case has a lip around the screen and the camera. You do not want the glass touching the table.
Be Smart About It
Do not wait until you get the phone to order the case. Order the case first. Have it sitting on your table. When the delivery guy brings your new Samsung S26, you open the box. You wipe it down. You put it straight into the ESR case.
That way, it never touches the danger zone. You get the protection. You get the magnetic snapping. You get the cool accessories. You are ready to go.
