So as I understand it, I'd have to choose between this and MagSafe charging setup I've invested in? This does not seem to have magnets/coil on the outside so I can't keep my phone with this attached on the MagSafe charger it seems. I wonder if I detach them can I keep the isolated pack on MagSafe to charge?

This is more confusing than it needs to be. At least there is reverse charging so I don't have to choose between charging and CarPlay.

This is not a general purpose charging system. This is a mobile power pack to extend your phone’s battery life while you are on the go. It’s similar to carrying a power pack like the Ankers around but is slimmer and attaches with magnets.
Yes, but since there is no way to charge this thing in a setup with only MagSafe chargers, I’ll have to bring wire back in my life. The phone will only charge this when plugged in, this will only charge the phone when plugged in, and it can only be independently charged when plugged in. There should have been a charging coil at the back so the power bank itself could be charged via MagSafe charger.
