I tested this iPhone Creator Kit with 5 MagSafe accessories in one – here’s my verdict

The sheer number of MagSafe accessories available is one of the main reasons why you should own one of the best iPhone 16 Pro cases right now. I’ve personally used a number of MagSafe-compatible charging stands, cases, and wallets over the years, and I really miss this feature every time I switch to an Android phone. So when the creator of Moft cases sent me their “creator’s kit” to test, it started an internal discussion about whether I need a ready-made solution or whether I choose phone accessories according to my needs.

We promise you’ll turn your iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro into an all-singing, all-dancing productivity machine with a variety of included MagSafe accessories. The set costs $149 on Amazon and includes a case, lanyard, wallet, tripod and notebook.

With the exception of the lanyard, I use all of these items individually during my normal work day. I never leave my phone naked, I keep my office card in a small wallet, I have a MagSafe tripod (also made by Moft) in my bag, and (because I’m old) I usually have a notebook and pen on hand.

The question is, would I trade all of these individual accessories to play Moft all the way? If I want to save money, the answer is quite simple. Apple’s own silicone/clear cases will cost $49, the company’s FineWoven wallet costs $59, and since Apple doesn’t offer a stand, just purchasing the Mofta case will cost another $39. That’s $147 before I spend $12 on a pack of three Field Notes – which gives me $159 without the lanyard in sight.

Even though I will save money with this bundle, I’m still not sure if I would purchase the Maker’s Bundle. Here’s why: the whole is not greater than the sum of its parts. While you can use one Moft accessory on top of another, it’s not an elegant solution and means there’s a tower on the back of the phone. So you’re left to decide between placing your notebook, wallet or tripod on the back of the device.

And while I’m usually a big fan of modularity in phones (anyone remember Moto Mods?), in this case the only real winners from the set for me are the case itself and the snap-fastened wallet. I don’t need a leash; the notebook is too small to use effectively; and the tripod is only useful in photography, which I don’t do very often.

That being said, there’s something incredibly satisfying about having an entire MagSafe set of the same brand and color scheme. In this case it is a type of porcelain, off-white, which I really like. For those who want uniformity in everyday wear, the Creator Kit perfectly meets this.

I started by mentioning the price, which may be alarming to some. However, Moft is known for having fun on Black Friday and in some cases can offer up to $60 off on some of their products. These discounts are not typically limited to the United States. So while it’s not certain whether the Creator Kit will receive a discount, it’s a possibility, which would make it a much more enticing prospect for iPhone users.
