If you don’t carry a MagSafe wallet with your iPhone, there might be situations when you want a simple stand for travel, increased grip, stand at your desk, etc. The UAG Magnetic Ring Stand falls into that category. It gives you a better grip on your iPhone, doubles as a kickstand, and still slides in your pocket without getting in the way. Let’s take a look at what it offers.

Design and build quality
The UAG Magnetic Ring Stand is built with zinc casting and a polished metallic finish that feels sturdy in your hand. Because of the way it expands, you can really feel the strength of the hinge. It does not look or feel like the cheap plastic rings you can find for $5 online. The design is slim and collapsible, so when you fold it flat it adds almost minimal bulk to your iPhone. The only reason you might not want to keep it on there all the time is because you can’t charge it over MagSafe if so.
UAG also designed it with their hexagon shape, which gives it a unique look and helps with grip. Overall, it feels like a well-made accessory that matches the quality of their other accessories.
Every day use and grip
The main reason to use a ring accessory is grip. On bigger iPhones, it makes one-handed use much easier. The 360-degree rotation lets you position it exactly how you want, whether you are reading email, checking calendar, etc. Because it is magnetic, you can easily pop it on when you want extra security and remove it when you don’t. That flexibility is something you do not get with a built-in ring case. It’s really two accessories in one.
