This was one of the main reasons why I purchased the mobile line on Kickstarter. This thing holds 4 cards and 6 bills with room to spare. Awesome for a kickstand at multiple angles.
I got this with the universal phone mount thinking that would keep it in place. However, every time I pull out my phone out of my pocket/field pouch, it keeps on detaching or rotates out of place. It stays in place if used as a stand though and that is handy.
This wallet has such a good design! I used the Apple wallet for over a year (on iPhone 12 & 13) with 3 cards and struggled with it. If I didn't turn a card so that the raised numbers were facing the opening on the back (magnetic) side, I could not get the cards out! (And, yes, that meant I had to take the wallet off the phone to remove any cards.) When my new bank card didn't have raised numbers, I switched to the PD case and wallet. The Mobile Wallet design is excellent! First, one can easily remove cards from it (even if I carry more that 3 cards. The magnet is very strong (stronger that the Apple wallet's), so the wallet is very secure. The only change I would like would be to add "Find my" capacity to the PD wallet, just in case it ever does get knocked off the phone. Of, and maybe some other colors for the case and wallet?
Again, really fast shipping like the phone case. It snaps on well and I love the material. It's a nice pairing to the case.
The quality is underwhelming compared to the case, maybe my expectations were too high. The magnetic tab feels pretty cheap and flimsy, and when I have the stand/wallet closed, it doesn't meet perfectly at the edges, kind of off a bit.
For the high cost, I feel like it could use some improvements. Like the title says, good but not great.
I have been using the slim version of this wallet and have to say I am impressed! I am excited to flip it open and satisfyingly slide my cards out and when I am done the satisfying snap that the magnet makes is great! I catch envious glances from people hauling bulky wallets!
I purchased most of the Peak Mobile accessories for iPhone, love them all except for the slim wallet. Followed all the directions but difficult to store and retrieve my 4 cards plus you have to take it off entirely to use the other mag safe accessories.
