TORRAS Ostand Dual Ring vs SYNCWIRE and BENKS: Three MagSafe Rings Compared

This is the English edition of a review from my Japanese YouTube channel, iestaLife. I review gadgets from my home studio in Japan, so product links go to Amazon Japan.

Quick take

TORRAS calls its Ostand Dual Ring the “final form” of the phone ring. It splits the job in two: a large outer ring that works as a kickstand, and a smaller inner ring just for your finger. It weighs 34.1 g, has magnets on both sides, and the outer stand is the easiest I have opened. I compared it with the two rings I actually use, SYNCWIRE’s double ring and a BENKS ring, and honestly there was no clear winner.

What I tested

• TORRAS Ostand Dual Ring in matte black (5,980 yen list price, 4,679 yen on a time sale at the time of recording)
• SYNCWIRE MagSafe double ring, my main ring for the past few months (36 g)
• BENKS MagSafe ring with an aramid-fiber finish (23 g)
• All three on an iPhone 17 Pro Max with several cases, on a desk and on a magnetic car mount

What I found

Ring	Weight (measured)	Design	My impression
TORRAS Ostand Dual Ring	34.1 g	Outer ring = stand, inner ring = finger grip	Outer ring opens with almost no effort; inner ring rotates silently
SYNCWIRE double ring	36 g	Double ring with a clicky 360° rotation	The safe, proven choice
BENKS (aramid finish)	23 g	Outer ring = stand, center pops up for your finger	By far the lightest; similar idea to TORRAS

• The two hinges have different stiffness. The outer stand hinge is firm, the inner finger ring is soft. Single rings that do both tend to loosen over time, so splitting the roles makes sense.
• The outer ring stops at about 175°, not a full 180°. That never mattered in use.
• The weak point is the inner ring. After it rotates, I could not tell where to lift it without flipping the phone over to look. It takes some getting used to.
• Both-side magnets are strong. Whether the ring stays on your case when you pull the phone off a car mount depends on the case’s magnets, not the ring.
• Colors: matte black, gold and deep blue. The gold one is a little cheaper but is not double-sided magnetic.

Who it’s for

Pick the TORRAS if you use your ring as a stand a lot or want to stack MagSafe accessories on top of it. Pick BENKS if weight matters most. If you just want a ring you will not regret, SYNCWIRE’s double ring is still my default. In the end, habit matters more than specs: after a week, whichever one you like the look of will feel natural.

Watch the review

The video is in Japanese. Useful points: 8:00 weighing all three, 9:30 on a case, 12:40 the car-mount test.

Limitations

These are my own units, tested over a short period. I did not test long-term hinge durability on the TORRAS. Prices are Amazon Japan’s at the time of recording, and the BENKS price is from memory (about 4,500 yen).
