How have I managed without this for almost 60 year

Backed the Mobile launch on Kickstarter and can't be more delighted with the whole range but this is my favourite. The combination of convenient and secure card carry and a minimalist stand is an absolute winner. Genius
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fits iPhone 13 Pro perfectly! Don’t listen to Mel!
on February 15, 2022
Posted by: Joe
I just got this so I can’t give a full review yet, but from everything I’ve experienced so far this stand wallet is as nicely thought out as all of PD’s other products. Are there some things that could have been done better? Yeah. They probably should find a way to integrate the mechanical lock of the SimLink, but it’s pretty strong with the case. And would it be a pain if it did mechanically lock? Not sure.
The main reason I’m writing this review though is because I almost didn’t buy this stand wallet because of Mel’s review. I don’t know what his issue is/was, but it fits the iPhone 13 Pro just as expected. It DOES NOT go past the rim as you’ll see in my pictures. The card capacity is great. I have 6 and some thinner insurance cards right now. The hinge is awesome. It’s a bit bulky, but honestly, it’s still pretty slim considering the capacity. There are at least equally bulky MagSafe wallets that hold far less. This is a solid buy and another awesome part of PD’s mobile collection. I currently own the bike mount as well and could not be happier. I hope this helps!

Great but with a caveat

The mobile wallet is great aesthetically, however it’s constantly demagnetizes hotel keys. I travel a lot, and this is a real pain after working a late day and just wanting sleep. So definitely be aware of this!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Minimalist Wallet
on February 14, 2022

Great minimalist wallet, my only complaint is that the walley does not "fan-out" the cars as I thought and can sometimes make it a bit finicky pulling out a middle card. Other than that, I love this little wallet and being able to attach it to my phone when needed.

My favorite MagSafe wallet so far
on February 11, 2022
Posted by: Dbow

I've tried several of these and this one is the best so far. Holds much more than some others. I carry 5 CCs, license and a couple of business cards and it manages this no problem without being bulky. I really like the magnetic flap and the magnets are plenty strong for phone attachment. I've yet to be disappointed by a PD product.

Best magnetic wallet
on February 10, 2022

I have tried a few magnetic wallets this by far is the best. Currently I have 3 credit cards, driver license and 2 folded bills in it. Its magnet is super strong and won’t fall of my phone case or anything metal. I love it works for me perfectly.

more features packed into same form factor

Roughly the same size as my previous Apple mag safe wallet but clever use of thinner material packs the stand and pull tab into roughly the same profile. Stand and pull tab work great - no regrets on this purchase.

Decent, but not up to my expectations
on February 4, 2022

Let me come right out and say I'm a Peak Design junkie. I have 6 bags, all clips, slings, loops, a tripod and I forget sometimes how much gear I have. I love the attention to detail, the smart features, the durability and for the most part also the design.
When Mobile was introduced, I was very excited! And now the gear is finally starting to tricke in, first up was the case with loop, the motorcycle holder and this wallet. And I'm torn. Coming from an Apple MagSafe wallet which has it's own unique challenges, I thought this product would remedy them all, but not so much. Overall, it does what it says. It stores your cards, and it attaches magnetically to the case, and it can double as a stand.
However, I'm lacking the polish and attention to details I'm used to with PD stuff. Perhaps it's the limited space they're able to work with here that puts severe limitations on it. Anyway, here goes:
The magnetic latching isn't very comfortable. The magnets are strong enough, but coming from MagSafe, I've gotten used to the snap on alignment. This doesn't align much if any at all. Perhaps that's a result of the added friction of the texture of both the wallet and the case. But it's very seldomly aligned very well, which becomes evident as soon as you want to extend the stand. And extending the case is finnicky. I got no lenght of nails that makes this easy or comfortable, it's simply tricky to fold out. And once you fold it in, it doesn't feel like it's folding all the way up. Probably related to the strong (and impressive) hinge, but you cant fold it any further than to close, but it will flex back a little bit.
The way to get your cards out is a pleasant surprise when you come from Apples MagSafe Wallet. However, there's so much fabric around this section, that i feels a little lose. Sure, I could stuff another 4 cards in there I guess, to get it to not feel "loose", but that's not an ideal solution. I believe something elastic here would've been a better choice.
And finally, pushing the cards back into the wallet is a little bit of an awkward move, you need to kind of push up against it from the miniscule bottom part of the wallet to get leverage. PD even includes an instruction for you how to do it, since it's not very obvious. And while all this is going on, you're much more likely than not to accidentally squeeze the flap that goes over the cards, on the inside of the cards, and unless you got small fingers or long nails, you now need to find a pen or something long and thin to fish it out, since you can't pull your cards out, since you need the now hidden tab to do.
I appreciate the effort of this product, and I don't want to disuade the ambition, I just sincerely hope that this product will be revised. How about using that square hole at the back for some snap on/alignment action?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
