I look for a wallet case like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GKPZCDF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but works with MagSafe. Thank you in advance.

This is probably gonna be a long post...

Off the bat, the experience of the MagSafe wallet will be different for everyone. EVERYONE! The reason I say this is because every review I’ve read and seen has said bad and good things, mostly bad though. For me however, it’s good. And it also really depends on how you use your phone, what pants/shorts you wear, how you use a wallet etc.

I have the 12 Pro Max for reference and I am a guy.

I personally put my phone in my back pocket. I wear pants 99% of the time. I wear both somewhat tight jeans and not so tight jeans. I love minimalist wallets. I really only keep 3 cards on me. ID, 2 credit cards. I use 3 different cases. A clear case (not MagSafe), Apple Leather case (MagSafe), and a bumper case (a bumper case only covers the sides of the phone so it is automatically a MagSafe case).

The Price: $60 USD—— First of all, it’s a wallet. It is advertised as a wallet, a minimalist wallet at that. Now I have spent more than $60 on wallets before. So for me, $60 on a wallet is reasonable. Obviously not everyone has $60 sitting around to spend, that being said, your first immediate thought should be “Are you okay with spending $60 on a wallet?” No? Then don’t read any further and stop looking into the MagSafe wallet. Remember the only function of this is to be a wallet, a card holder. That is all, that is is the original purpose of a modern day wallet, to hold your cards.

The Design—— Once you are pass the point of price, next up is the design. Again it is a wallet, a wallet that attaches to your phone (iPhone 12 and above) without a case or with a MagSafe case. If you don’t have a MagSafe case or don’t use one I’ll touch on that later in a different section. This wallet holds 3 cards, DO NOT TRY TO FIT 4! Unless you’re literally using paper cards (which is highly not recommended) 3 cards max. Also this is not a wallet meant for people who like to carry cash, if you want to carry cash or you must carry cash, then either do not buy this or buy a money clip (you can buy them for cheap for around $5 USD). Now your next question(s) should be “Can I go through my daily life with only 3 cards? No? Then stop right here and do not buy this product” And “do I need to carry cash with me?” Yes? Then do not buy this product or buy a money clip and proceed to the next section

The Feel—— It’s leather. It’s premium. Are you against leather? #saveTheAnimals? Then don’t buy this product.

The Usability—— Cool, chances are all that’s left is to purchase this wallet. So do it, as long as you keep your receipt and or are able to fully get a refund you have no reason to at least try it out during the return window. Furthermore, if you do not know the return window, ask! The general rule for return windows is I believe 14 or 7 days (here in the US). (Time skip some time) You open up your package, attach your wallet for the first time and it feels good. This whole section is honestly just purely opinion based. I have yet to have this wallet fall off for me. You can try it out yourself, try it without a case and with a MagSafe case (if you have one) you will feel the difference between the 2 choices. I personally like the bit of added weight I get when I have it on. Taking out the cards from the little hole on the back makes it easy to take out the cards, I would highly recommend to put the card you use the most in the back where the hole is, this way you can always guarantee that this will be the first card you take out. If you put your phone in your back pocket like I do, I highly doubt it will ever fall off. Your front pocket is a different story, this will be different because it depends on how you take out your phone from your pockets. If you grab the sides of your phone while taking it out of your pocket, chances are your MagSafe wallet will be in your pocket when you take out your phone. If you grab your phone with your whole hand then you have no worry about the wallet staying in your pocket. If you grab the top of your phone then depending on the phone you have it may or may not stay in your pocket (more on this later). I also personally love the fact that I have an empty pocket now or in some cases 2 empty front pockets (I sometimes, rarely use a money clip for when I know I go to places that require cash).

The iPhone 12 Mini—— The wallet is an exact fit for the mini so chances are no matter where you put your phone with the wallet it won’t fall off, why? The mini is exact making it so your gonna grab the wallet along with the phone almost at all times. The only caveat is using this with a bumper case on the mini, bumper cases have a slight lip on the back so that way the phone doesn’t touch the surface you place your phone on, so if you use a bumper on your mini or plan to, you most likely won’t be able to use the MagSafe Wallet

The iPhone 12 / iPhone 12 Pro—— They’re both the same size, so one section. This is where “how you take out your phone and where you place it” starts to matter more. Putting on the MagSafe wallet leaves this “bezel” on the bottom of the phone. If you grab your phone by the sides or the bottom/top of the phone when in your front pocket, decent chances it will stay in your pocket. Again it matters how much of your hand grabs your phone when in the pocket to take it out.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max—— Pretty much the same as the 12 and 12 Pro, however you have more of a “bezel” on both top and bottom so the where you put your phone and how you take out your phone matters even more. Again if you put your phone in your back pocket, you should be perfectly fine.

No case—— The wallet attaches fine, it is neither strong or weak. If bumped hard enough it will fall off. Using it without a wallet does make it easier to use as far as taking off the wallet to take out a card. So that would be the biggest pro to using no case.

Clear cases (not MagSafe)—— Most generic clear cases and by that I mean unless you get a very slim clear case or a very bulky one. They’re all the same thickness. It still attaches, however, it is not very strong. It will still stay there but if you bump your phone, very good chance it will fall off.

Apple Leather Case (MagSafe)—— By far the best way to keep your wallet attached. Why? After your leather case absorbs the oils from your hands and develops the patina this starts to make the case “sticky”, not actually sticky but it’ll feel more grippy the leather. This makes the wallet attach better, so much so that after I think 15mins, unless you actively try to take it off, it’s not coming off. Downside, you’ll see a very faint and I mean very faint unfinished circle on your leather case.

Bumper Case—— Same as using the phone naked, just with a bumper case. Very important though if you have a mini, it is recommended to not use both a bumper and a MagSafe wallet as most bumpers have a back lip to prevent the phone from touching the surface of where you place the phone. This lip will make your wallet fall off very easy.

TLDR:

$60 too much? Don’t buy

Need more than 3 cards or need to carry cash? Don’t buy

Not a fan of leather and #saveTheAnimals? Don’t buy
