How to Use MagSafe with an Animaglass Case
Yes, you can use MagSafe accessories with your Animaglass case.
Animaglass cases have a built-in magnetic ring that reinforces your iPhone’s magnetic connection. To use it, simply remove the interchangeable lenticular backplate before attaching your MagSafe accessory.
Why remove something so beautiful? There is a practical reason.
Why must the backplate be removed?
An Animaglass backplate is approximately 2 mm thick and contains the lenticular optical structure responsible for its distinctive depth and movement. Because it sits between the phone and the MagSafe accessory, removing it allows the accessory to connect directly to the case’s integrated magnetic ring.
You can then use compatible MagSafe chargers, stands, holders, wallets, and other accessories.
Using MagSafe takes only a few seconds
- Find the small nail notch near the upper-left corner of the backplate.
- Place your fingernail into the notch and gently lift the backplate.
- Bring your MagSafe accessory close to the case’s magnetic ring.
- Allow it to snap securely into position.
- Keep the backplate somewhere safe. You will want it again later.
The notch is deliberately discreet, so it is barely visible when the backplate is installed. Removing the backplate may take a moment the first time, but after you have done it once, the movement quickly becomes second nature.
Watch how it works

Why put the backplate back?
Some people enjoy leaving the MagSafe coupling system exposed—but that feels a little like letting your phone walk around undressed.
Once you have finished using your MagSafe accessory, detach it and place the Animaglass backplate back into the case. It restores the glasses-free 3D image while adding an extra 2 mm layer over the back of your phone—particularly welcome if your phone occasionally attempts to meet the floor.
And there is no reason to stop at one backplate. Your phone deserves a proper wardrobe: different images for different styles, moods, and occasions.
This modular construction gives you both experiences in one case: convenient access to MagSafe when you need it and a vivid, interchangeable 3D image when you do not.
