Much better than the Apple wallet!!
on April 15, 2022
Posted by: Kristi
from SW Virginia
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?

Doesn't stay in place as described/demoed

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Gamechanger

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.

Little Pricey, But Works
on April 19, 2022

The cases are probably low cost to hook you in for the higher priced accessories. ＄35 for a case and ＄50 for a wallet that attaches to it seems...like a ripoff.
But, this was me jumping into the Mobile ecosystem. The match nicely, I went with the Slim Wallet to minimalize bulk but leave my actual wallet behind, and I get to do just that. Holds 6 or 7 cards with no problem and attaches to the case with a good strong click. The bulk isn't too noticeable, it fits in my pockets without creating a large bulge or feeling uncomfortable.
Since the case is MagSafe compatible, I might at least explore your options. But there's no doubt this looks good with the Everyday Case. And the slide setup to access the cards is unmatched in any wallet like this that I've seen/tried. So in the end, maybe it really is worth the money?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very convenient

I bought this for my IPhone 10 with the universal adapter. Love the functionality. However, I wished they would have made some improvement s on the product.
1. Integrate a finger loop to the wallet itself. I usually like to hold my phone with my wallet attached. But without the finger loop. Accidents are waiting to happen.
2. Make the magnet a bit stronger. There are times where I’m holding my phone by the wallet, and the phone is not attached.
3. Maybe integrate a strap to hold cash. I know we live in the 21st century, but a lot of people still carry cash around. I’m one.

It just works

I use the kickstand more than I thought I would. It's heavier than I anticipated but it also is more solid than I was expecting. Super strong magnet, no concerns about separation from the phone. The wallet-pull part doesn't usually splay out the cards the way it does in the pictures, but sometimes it does and that's a nice surprise. When it doesn't though there aren't usually more than 5-7 cards in there anyway and so I just arrange them in a predictable way, with the most-used cards either at the very front or very back. I've also been able to use my work fob keycard through the fabric without taking it out. The same isn't true for the transit system fob card here in Denver, so your mileage may vary.

Finally the wallet I’ve been searching for.
on April 20, 2022

Since the advent of MagSafe I’ve been searching for a wallet that could actually serve as a replacement for a traditional wallet - able to carry multiple cards AND cash in a compact form factor. I recently received the Mobile Slim Wallet and it fits the bill perfectly. The wallet looks great, fits securely on the phone, the lid opens and snaps shuts with a satisfying click, and the overall build quality seems top notch. If you’re looking for a complete substitute for your wallet, this is for you.

Slim Wallet - Does the Job
on April 21, 2022
Posted by: Grace
from Golden, CO
I previously had a case with an integrated wallet (one of those ones where you open the back of the phone case, and it can fit a few cards). I wanted something a little less bulky, and I was hoping to get that by pairing a magnetic wallet with a Peak Designs case. Overall, I like it. However, I have 2 minor issues:
1. The wallet pops off pretty easily. For example, my phone fell off the edge of the couch onto the carpeted floor (2-ft fall). I picked my phone up and didn't think anything of it, until a little while later when I noticed the wallet was gone. It was near where the phone had fallen, somewhere under the couch. You need to get used to checking for it if you phone falls, as this has happened to me probably 3 times in the month I've owned the case.
2. It's thicker than I think I expected, even with just 2 cards and an ID. With those items, there is more space taken up by wallet fabric than cards. It does at least give you the option to remove the wallet piece when you don't need it, which is an advantage over cases with integrated wallets (maybe when you're trying to fit your phone in a running belt or a wristlet, and the extra bulk just won't fit).

These complaints aren't to dissuade anyone from buying the wallet. I actually really like it. Just some things to be aware of if you're someone who would drop your phone and not think to check for the wallet, or for whom a slim design matters.
