Pitaka’s MagEZ Grip 2 is pitched as the thinnest and lightest MagSafe‑compatible phone ring. At just 5.9mm thick and weighing 37g, it attaches magnetically to iPhones with MagSafe or to other devices via Pitaka’s MagEZ cases. The design uses durable aramid fibre paired with zinc alloy, giving it a premium feel without adding bulk.
Everyday Practicality
The Grip 2 is more than a simple ring. Its dual‑ring magnetic design makes one‑handed use easier, reducing the strain of holding larger phones for long periods. The zinc alloy hinge is firm enough to keep the phone propped securely, whether in portrait for video calls or landscape for streaming. Unlike bulkier stands, it folds flat against the phone, so it doesn’t snag when sliding into a pocket or bag. Materials are a key part of the appeal. Aramid fibre — often used in aerospace and body armour — gives the Grip 2 a textured finish that resists scratches and fingerprints, while keeping weight low. The hinge mechanism feels smooth but deliberate, avoiding the loose wobble that plagues cheaper rings. Compatibility is broad: beyond iPhones, Pitaka’s MagEZ ecosystem extends support to Samsung Galaxy models and even the Google Pixel Fold, provided they use Pitaka’s MagEZ cases. This makes the Grip 2 more versatile than accessories locked to a single brand. In practice, it becomes a multi‑purpose tool: a grip for crowded commutes, a stand for desk work, and a stabiliser for casual photography.
At around £25 in the UK, the MagEZ Grip 2 is priced competitively against other MagSafe rings. Its strength lies in combining premium materials, slim design, and dual functionality. While it lacks the integrated wallet or battery features of larger MagSafe accessories, its simplicity is its appeal. For users who want a grip that doesn’t compromise the phone’s sleek profile, the MagEZ Grip 2 delivers exactly that.
