Hi friends

I'm a recent iPhone adoptee, having been an Android guy for like 15+ years. I got the 14 Pro Max or whatever, and have shoved it into one of these battery cases which I am so far very happy with. The nice thing is that the battery case seems to work just fine with the wireless charging pucks I have scattered about at home and work, but I tend to need the extended battery on my phones because I use it to run my insulin pump and glucose monitoring for my diabetic care.

The only thing I'm missing now is that I used to have one of those phone-grip-ring things on the back of my old Android phone, which I found made it a lot easier to hold while I was doomscrolling in bed or whatever. Something like these things:



A bunch of them say they're magsafe compatible, but from what I have seen that just means that the ring itself magnetizes onto the back of the phone and would otherwise be removable if you wanted to drop it on a magsafe thing. Are there any options that exist that wouldn't interfere with wireless charging that I could leave on the back, even in the case I have? I know that's probably asking for too much, but I figured I'd see if anyone knew of good solutions for this.

I have been digging and digging through the internet unsuccessfully, but I thought it might be worth asking here.

Is there a battery case for the iPhone 14 Pro Max that:
  • Still supports wireless charging;
  • Has a USB-C input on the exterior of the case but a lightning port on the interior of the case (that plugs into the phone)?

I have been using one of these for the last year and it has been pretty good but I would love it if the external port was USB-C instead, since every other device I own is USB-C. I don't want to upgrade my phone just to get a better port. :colbert:
