Anker has launched the 620 MagGo Grip, a magnetic pad centred on a flexible magnetic strip. The accessory has been designed to hold your phone as you work out, allowing you to magnetically attach your phone to gym equipment, which could be helpful if you are watching instructional videos or following an app-based workout. Anker suggests that this feature could also be applied in your kitchen, helping you to keep your phone clean.
The dual-sided magnets can form a ring to wrap around a pole, create a phone stand, or improve your grip. You can rotate your magnetically attached phone 360° to find the best viewing angle. The Anker 620 is compatible with iPhone Series 12 and above and is billed as sweat-resistant and washable. The MagGo Phone Grip is available in black or white, with a purple version also on sale in the US. The gadget measures 2.36 x 6.02 x 0.55-in (~50 x 153 x 14 mm) and weighs 2.08 oz (~59 g).
You can buy the Anker 620 MagGo Grip in the US for US$19.99 and in the UK for £17.99. Customers in EU countries such as Germany can currently get 15% off the €23.99 retail price, allowing them to purchase the device for €20.39; the deal is due to end on May 14. It is unclear when the accessory could launch in other countries.
