Amazon's Kindle lineup is arguably among the most popular e-readers, and for good reason. It's reasonably priced, comes with an e-ink display, and has access to an impressive e-book library via Amazon. It has multiple exciting models, including the color e-ink featuring Kindle Colorsoft, which has got many folks excited, and the Kindle Paperwhite, which is Amazon's most popular Kindle. Thanks to its popularity, Kindle has spawned a massive accessories market that includes essentials like Kindle covers, carrying cases, grips, and screen protectors.

However, when you dig deep into this accessories market, you can find some really nifty gadgets that can take your Kindle experience to the next level. One such accessory is the MagSafe ring from Kalapop. While MagSafe is something you don't typically associate with Kindles, magnetic rings are an increasingly popular hack among Kindle owners to add support for various MagSafe accessories. The Kalapop Metal Ring set is pretty affordable at $6 and comes with six rings in the package, allowing you to not only make yours and your entire family's Kindles MagSafe-ready but also your non-MagSafe smartphones.

The Kalapop Metal Ring is a MagSafe-compatible metal ring that comes with a strong adhesive sticker to attach it to the back of your Kindle or the Kindle cover. Once applied, it can be removed but can't be repositioned as the adhesive is single-use. So, you'll have to be careful with the alignment. Once the metal ring is applied to your Kindle, you'll be able to use MagSafe accessories like MagSafe-compatible grips, including PopSockets, stands, mounts, and card holders. If you have a Signature Edition Kindle with wireless charging support and you're looking to use a MagSafe charger, the alignment of the metal ring is crucial, and it has to be in the center of the back panel.

One way to get an idea of the basic positioning of the charging coil location is to attach a MagSafe charger to the back of your Kindle before installing the metal ring, as MagSafe chargers are said to stick to the back, just barely, but enough to give you an idea of the positioning of the charging coils. Thanks to this seamless MagSafe support offered by the Kalapop Metal Ring, it's pretty popular among the Amazon shoppers who have given it a solid rating of 4.4 from over 550 reviews. Kindle owners appreciate how the ring is "super sticky" and attaches well to the e-reader, allowing them to use MagSafe accessories.
