TORRAS Ostand Case Adds a Magnetic Twist Apple Didn’t Think Of
A good case protects your phone, a better case protects your phone without compromise, and a great case gives it extra features. I’ve seen phone cases that get away with doing the bare minimum. The TORRAS Ostand OFitness case isn’t one of those accessories. Aside from protecting your iPhone against impact, making it feel more ergonomic with rounded edges, retaining its MagSafe and wireless charging abilities, as well as enabling its Camera Control feature, the Ostand OFitness also packs a slim, popout ring that rotates a full 360° to let you prop your phone up without needing an external stand.
We saw the Ostand OFitness and the Ostand OAir at TORRAS’ booth at CES 2025, and the thing with any good company is that it iterates on its best-selling product – the Ostand range. The new Ostand OFitness is more durable and more ergonomic than before – but there’s more. The stand also allows your iPhone to wirelessly charge 30% faster than previous versions, and the MagSafe gets a boost thanks to hidden magnets that reinforce the feature for better accessory attachment. The Ostand OAir has the same features too, except with enhanced AirMax cushioning around the corners that feel like a puffer jacket for your phone. Neat, no?

Make a product good enough and chances are it’ll get ripped off almost immediately. However, I’m yet to see a ripoff of the Ostand series of cases from TORRAS. The reason being (and I saw this first-hand in 2024), they’re over-engineered to the point of being impossible to replicate without pouring millions into R&D. That O-shaped stand (which is where the series gets its name from), is a technical marvel, with space-grade metallic components small enough for the eye to barely see, magnets so slim they’re almost paper thin – but also incredibly powerful, and a hinge that’s ridiculously sleek, bringing laptop-hinge-level friction into something that’s just a couple millimeters thick.
The Ostand OFitness builds on that stellar R&D with a case that’s somehow even better than before. It comes in five pastel shades that are equal parts subtle yet eye-catching, with a frosted transparent plastic back that’s fingerprint and smudge-proof, and a TPU bumper with built-in Airstrip Airbags that provide extra protection to your phone from drops and bumps. Meanwhile, the outside of the bumper is lined with textural dots that enhance your grip, giving those airbags a run for their money because you’ll probably never accidentally drop your phone. Meanwhile, the camera bump gets its own 1.5mm protective lip to absorb any impact so your phone’s precious lens system remains unscathed.
The star of the show, however, is that O-shaped ring that sits absolutely flush into the case-back. It isn’t like those snap-on rings or pop-sockets that protrude from the back of your phone, absolutely ruining the aesthetic. You barely know it’s there when it’s shut, but tuck your finger into the slight divet, and you can prop open the ring, which can then be used as a grip or a stand. The ring’s hinge is fairly stiff, so it holds its angle like the friction-hinge seen on laptops. This means you can prop your phone up at any angle, going from a mere 20° all the way up to 60°. The ring also rotates on its hub like a hubless wheel (thanks to that incredibly engineered design), allowing you to prop your phone in landscape or portrait.
Built into the ring are a series of magnets that allow the ring to snap shut securely, but they also serve to ‘boost’ your phone’s MagSafe powers. Most cases can sometimes interfere with your iPhone’s MagSafe magnetic array, but with the right boost, the Ostand OFitness actually ‘increases’ the MagSafe power, allowing accessories to snap on way more securely. Meanwhile, all the buttons remain accessible through individual button bumps, although the Camera Control area gets a cutout, allowing your finger to intuitively sit in the groove and control the camera features using the phone’s capacitive touch surface.
Meanwhile, the Ostand OAir has a slightly more unique design thanks to those exaggerated bumpers on the top and bottom, providing an extra layer of edge-protection along with the same features as the Ostand OFitness. Sometimes a case is more than just a protective cover and functional tool for people, it’s also a style statement – that’s where the Ostand OAir comes in, quite literally making your phone look like it’s wearing a classy puffer jacket!
That said, the cases aren’t for a specific demographic. They’re quite literally for everybody because they enhance the iPhone’s usability. The O-ring can be used for functionality or fidget, making it perfect for content creators, consumers, or anyone in between. And hey, don’t worry about these cases turning yellow with time – TORRAS stands behind its cases and has been doing so for the past 16 years. If they can engineer a magnetic ring with a 360° swiveling design, they can ensure their products don’t yellow or patina with time!
