Is Your Case Blocking Wireless Charging? Best Slim OnePlus 13 MagSafe Case

Whoever invented smartphone wireless charging needs a raise, and casemakers who hinder it must be banned from making cases for a while. All jokes aside. But seriously, in 2025, a case that blocks wireless or MagSafe charging is doing more harm than good.

A good phone case should have these primary functions: protection, function, and style. Believe it or not, you can have all in one, including an uninterrupted wireless charging functionality.

If you own the OnePlus 13 and want every feature to work while protecting your device, we have just the right OnePlus 13 MagSafe case for you.

In this blog, we’ll discuss the role of your case in wireless charging, why wireless charging errors occur, and how a Oneplus 13 slim case can help.

Most OnePlus 13 wireless charging problems start with the materials used in your phone case. Thick plastic, hybrid rubber, or even fake leather can block the energy flow between the charger and your phone. Metal is also notorious for interfering with charging coils, so a metallic phone case can block charging.

Wireless chargers use electromagnetic fields to pass energy from the pad to your phone’s coil. This is where a slim OnePlus 13 MagSafe case does the job well. It reduces the space between the phone and the charging pad. With the OnePlus 13 still omitting the Qi2 charging protocol, users relying on the latest magnetic wireless charging standards may find compatibility limited. That makes choosing a case with built-in magnetic alignment, like an aramid fiber magnetic case, more critical for seamless charging and accessory integration.

Another reason wireless charging might not work with your current case is that it doesn’t have the magnets needed for MagSafe. Even if it says “MagSafe-compatible” on the label, your phone won't align correctly with the charger without that circular ring of magnets inside the case. Misalignment means slower charging power or none at all.

Lastly, some cases are just poorly designed. The charging coil on the back of your phone needs to line up perfectly with the one in your charger. If your case throws that off by a few millimeters, it’s game over for wireless charging.

When looking for a OnePlus 13 MagSafe case, there are five common mistakes you should avoid. Otherwise, you can compromise both charging functionality and drop resistance. That’s why picking the right one isn’t just about style. It’s also about smart protection and everyday convenience.

Here are the must-have features to look for.

Before you make a purchase decision, you must read a product’s descriptions and labels first. Look for cases that specify “MagSafe compatibility”, not just “wireless charging support.” Cases with magnetic array, such as our best OnePlus 13 case, lock into place with that satisfying click. Moreover, it gives you stable, efficient charging without the misalignment, no connection, and incompatibility drama.

If you want to flaunt the look of your OnePlus 13, thinner is better. A slim wireless charging case reduces the distance between your phone and the charger, which leads to better energy transfer. Besides, bulky cases can trap heat and slow down charging.

For a minimalist design, 600D aramid fiber is the best material for that ultra-thin barely-there profile without sacrificing durability. Its fine weave enhances grip and resists scratches and wear, making it ideal for users who want protection without the bulk.

Some cases go a step further and are engineered for coil alignment. Brands that care about craftsmanship will make sure that the magnetic array is placed precisely where it should be to match your phone’s charging coil.

Ever notice how your phone gets warm when charging wirelessly? That’s normal. But too much heat is bad news. This means the battery is suffering from overheating issues.

A case that heats up your phone can be uncomfortable to hold. You’ll feel the heat radiating through the case as the battery pumps itself with energy. The best OnePlus 13 case include heat-dissipating materials, and aramid fiber is good at dissipating heat.

Another criterion to consider is grip textures. They reduce drops and make your phone easier to hold. Grip texture is especially important with larger devices like the OnePlus 13. You wouldn’t want this premium device to slip out of your grasp that easily.

To protect your OnePlus 13 without the unnecessary bulk, Fiberborne’s aramid fiber cases are a top contender. Crafted with precision and designed for the modern user, their OnePlus 13 phone case offers a blend of style, functionality, and protection that’s hard to beat.

One of the standout features of Fiberborne’s aramid fiber case is its remarkable slimness. Measuring just 0.04 inches in thickness and weighing a mere 0.8 oz, our OnePlus 13 MagSafe case:

• Maintains the sleek profile of the OnePlus 13

• Exudes a premium feel

• Offers a comfortable, textured grip

• Textured grip addresses a common issue with the OnePlus 13’s slippery nature

The case offers protection against daily wear and minor drops. It’s also designed to feel like you’re using your phone without a case. We advise users prone to dropping their phones to consider installing a tempered glass screen protector for added security.

A surprising number of wireless charging issues can be traced back to the phone case, especially if it’s too thick or not designed with MagSafe in mind. Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to determine if your case is blocking charging (and how to fix it).

This is your first and most obvious move. First, remove the case and place your OnePlus 13 directly onto the wireless charger. And then, notice these things:

• If it starts charging without any hiccups, your case is likely interfering.

• If it still doesn’t charge, the issue might be with the charger, cable, or phone.

This quick test rules out the case and helps you zero in on the real problem.

Sometimes, it’s not the case itself but what’s inside it. Dust, metal stickers, credit cards, or even a PopSocket can mess with the wireless charging.

Below are some of the things you can do to check for obstructions:

• Run your fingers along the inside of the case.

• Look for metal plates (often used for magnetic mounts) or any foreign objects that could be blocking the coil alignment.

Remember, even a small obstruction can throw off the charging connection.

Certain materials are notorious for interfering with wireless charging. If your case is made of:

• Thick plastic

• Metal or metal-infused composites

• Multi-layered rugged materials

It’s probably preventing efficient power transfer. These materials absorb or block the charging signal, leading to charging problems. Instead, look for cases made from TPU, silicone, or aramid fiber, which are wireless-charging-friendly options. Aramid fiber, especially, doesn’t restrict signals like carbon fiber does.

Place your phone (with the case on) on a MagSafe charger and feel for the magnetic “snap.” If the magnetic connection is weak or nonexistent, your case likely doesn’t have a built-in MagSafe ring.

A weak magnetic hold = poor coil alignment = wireless charging failure.

MagSafe-compatible cases are designed to guide the charging coil into perfect alignment, improving charging speed and consistency.

If your phone still won’t charge wirelessly after trying all of the above fixes, there are other things to check:

• Charger or cable: Your wireless charger or USB cable might be faulty. Try using another known-working charger and cable just to rule this out.

• Charging port issues: Even if you’re using wireless charging, debris or damage in the charging port could interfere with software controls related to power management.

• Software glitch: Sometimes, a simple restart is all you need. You can also try booting into Safe Mode to rule out background apps messing with your charging functionality.

• Background apps: Close unused apps or put your phone in Airplane Mode while charging. This reduces power consumption and gives your charger a better shot at topping up the battery efficiently.

If your wireless charging isn’t working, don’t immediately blame the phone or the charger. Your case is often the hidden villain. Especially with flagship devices like the OnePlus 13, choosing the right slim MagSafe case makes all the difference.

The FiberBorne MagSafe Case stands out not just for its sleek, minimal design but also for its performance. So, if you’re tired of fighting with your charger every night, it’s probably time to upgrade your case game.
