The highly anticipated Google Pixel 10 series has been the subject of numerous leaks, giving us a sneak peek into the exciting new features these phones will offer.
One of the most intriguing features that I am eagerly looking forward to is the inclusion of built-in Qi2 wireless charging support. According to rumors, the new phones will come equipped with a set of magnets similar to Apple’s MagSafe technology found in the iPhone.
This advancement not only promises a more seamless wireless charging experience but also opens up a whole new world of accessories under the rumored ‘Pixelsnap’ branding.
For current Pixel users, especially those like myself who own a Pixel 9 Pro XL, these leaks may spark envy. As someone who has extensively tested the Pixel 9 Pro XL, I find myself reluctant to switch to a new phone just to enjoy the benefits of MagSafe.
Fortunately, Mous has come up with a simple yet effective solution. The company offers a range of ‘MagSafe Compatible’ cases that can add MagSafe support to phones that do not have it built-in.
With various design options available for recent Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones, the MagSafe Compatible case for my Pixel 9 Pro XL is currently priced at a reasonable £29.99.
Upon receiving the case, I initially had doubts about its ability to accommodate the necessary magnets without adding bulk to my phone. However, after testing it with Apple’s official MagSafe Charger, priced at £39, I was pleasantly surprised by how seamlessly it worked without any additional setup required.
While the Pixel 9 Pro XL may wirelessly charge at 12W by default, unless paired with a compatible stand accessory, the MagSafe Compatible case offers a convenient solution for users looking to explore the benefits of MagSafe.

With a robust MagSafe ecosystem that has flourished over the past five years, there is a wide array of accessories available from both Apple and third-party manufacturers like Mous. These accessories range from grips, mounts, wallets, power banks, keychains, to docking stations, all compatible with Mous MagSafe cases.
Even if an accessory is marketed for the iPhone, it will still seamlessly work with any Mous MagSafe case. The prospect of expanding my collection of MagSafe accessories is truly exciting.
As the Pixel 10 series debuts, Google’s lineup of Pixelsnap accessories is expected to be compatible with the existing MagSafe ecosystem.

While the main highlight of this case is its MagSafe compatibility, the ‘Super Thin’ version I opted for offers a durable polycarbonate shell and a soft microfiber lining to safeguard the phone. The meticulously designed corner cut-outs prevent common issues like cracking, ensuring a long-lasting and protective case.
With its seamless MagSafe compatibility, top-notch protection, and affordable price point, the Mous case has truly broadened the horizons of accessory options for my Pixel phone, making it a worthwhile investment.
