Issues with magnet

I have had my new phone case and magnetic phone wallet for about a month now and it’s amazing the only down side is sometimes the magnet on the back that keeps the wallet clasped to the back plate that attaches to the phone will pop open doesn’t detract from the fact this has been the best tech based purchased I’ve made in a while the wallet has been such a boon to keep track of all the things I need to tote around throughout the day
Great design and feel. Fits 3 cards and 2 to 3 banknotes perfectly. No issues with the magnets adherence to the back of the iPhone. I wish it was a little less expensive, but I'm satisfied with the purchase.
This is my third mobile wallet, it was time for a change in colour and to include the stand, and I'm very impressed with the product. The stand adds minimal size, but packs a huge benefit. To be able to stand my phone up during the day to keep an eye on messages without having to pickup the phone is very practical, and then I use the same stand at night when the phone is on charge is great
I do like the fact that cards are much easier to get out. I was hoping it would stick to my existing case like it does not. It’s about the same as my Apple wallet and since the AW has tracking which has saved me a few times I will probably not use this one.
I’ve had one of these wallets on my phones with their cases for years. Huge fan of everything they do here - all the mounts and simple yet effective attachment to the case is phenomenal. The motorcycle mounts are hands down the best available. Here’s the only thing I can’t figure out, why does this wallet still not permanently lock into it? I have almost lost this wallet so many times! Phone drops - wallet disconnects. Pull phone out of pocket without special consideration of the wallet - wallet disconnects. Does it attach easily and seamlessly? Yes. But the security of it leaves a lot to be desired. Pleaaaaase figure this out.
With most of their products, PD knocks design and functionality out of the park. I bought this wallet and fairly happy but they haven't quite perfected the design. The magnet and card carrying capacity is top notch, the issue I run into is getting the cards back in the wallet and the magnetic closer tab wanting to get in behind the cards as you are putting credit cards back into the wallet. Seems this "lid" should be a bit more rigid so this would not happen. Otherwise it's a pretty solid product. One other wish or option would be for the wallet to attach to the PD phone case with it's locking mechanism. When I've dropped my phone, the wallet will most times detach from the phone and the cards will sometimes go flying out the magnetic "close flapper" due to the force of the drop.
I've purchased thousands of dollars worth of gear from Peak Design over the years and I pretty much love everything I own. This wallet is the one thing that doesn't quite cut it. It's fine. But, the flap always ends up behind the cards. On several occasions I hadn't realized this and launched my credit cards across a store or restaurant. The cards don't quite go back into the wallet snug and I'm always fumbling with the flap at checkout. The good news is, I mostly use the phone to pay for everything these days, so I haven't needed to replace it. But, I keep hoping there will be an upgrade at some point.
Stand works great, but wallet has some snagging issues with my card. Sometimes I can’t push the card in smoothly. I’m hoping this is a break-in issue or issue with my beat up credit card.
