Maggie Compatibility Guide

Thank you for choosing Maggie! Ensuring compatibility with your device and setup is essential to achieve optimal performance and a secure hold. We want you to be happy with your Maggie while also understanding setup requires upfront to ensure Maggie works effectively. We understand everyone's setup is different when it comes to phones and phone cases so would like to be transparent by providing as much information as possible before your purchase. Due to the nature of the product, we also want to ensure your device is protected when using Maggie. This guide will help you do so.

Compatibility Overview

Maggie relies on MagSafe technology, which is built into iPhones 12's and above (excluding SE). To ensure proper magnetic strength, we recommend using a compatible iPhone and, ideally, a high-quality MagSafe-compatible phone case. You can find further information for other model phones below. For Max Models or large Phones, please ensure you are using a longer stem mount to accomodate larger phones. If you’re unsure, please reach out. 

Key and Important Recommendations

• We always recommend using a High-Quality MagSafe-Compatible Case with your Maggie:
  While Maggie can function without a case on compatible iPhone models, the smooth backing of most iPhones does not provide any added grip - you may find the magnetic strength to be weaker compared to using a high quality MagSafe Case with stronger magnets. This is important to consider so you can feel confident of a secure hold during exerted efforts on the Turbo Trainer. Ideally, we would recommend a textured none metal case for your device - please ensure it is a MagSafe Compatible case. 

Designed for iPhone

Maggie is primarily designed for iPhones. All models from the iPhone 12 onward (excluding iPhone SE) are equipped with built-in MagSafe magnets, which are necessary for Maggie to function. Without these magnets, your phone will not securely attach to Maggie.

For non-iPhone models, compatibility may still be achieved by using third-party MagSafe-compatible cases (details below).

MagSafe-Compatible Cases

If you use a phone case, it must be MagSafe-compatible. Non-MagSafe cases create additional distance between the phone and Maggie, reducing magnetic strength and compromising hold.

Identifying a MagSafe-Compatible Case:

• Look for a visible circular ring on the inside or outside of the case.
• If uncertain, check the manufacturer's specifications or test the case with Maggie before use.
• High-quality cases often include stronger magnets, further enhancing the hold.

Options for Non-MagSafe Phones or Older iPhones

If you have an older iPhone model (pre-iPhone 12) or a non-iPhone device, you can purchase third-party cases with built-in MagSafe-compatible magnets. These cases enable compatibility with MagSafe accessories like Maggie without the requirements of having MagSafe Magnets built into the device itself.

What Phone Cases do you Recommend?

We personally recommend and use Mous cases for our devices - they have cases for a wide range of phones along with offering great phone protection and a strong hold.

Disclaimer

Maggie secures your phone magnetically to your handlebars, but we cannot guarantee a 100% hold in all circumstances. Factors such as exerted effort, improper placement, or variations in cases and phone including textures may affect performance.

To minimize risks:

• Test your setup before use.
• Ensure your phone is properly aligned with Maggie.
• Maggie is not designed for outdoors use.

Important: Draaft is not liable for any damage to your device. Please take care when using Maggie and reach out to us for troubleshooting or support if needed.
