Functionally good

Good but not great by PD standards (I own many PD products :). Functionally good- like the pull out strap feature compared to my Apple wallet which is difficult to extract a card. But it feels a bit rickety and the MagSafe isn’t as secure as the Apple Wallet.
Disappointing quality at this price point. The material on the interior of the wallet (between the stand and magnetic backer) is creased and refuses to lay flat. I expect better craftsmanship if I am going to pay up for a 'premium' product.
The wallet looks good, attaches quite securely to my Peak Design case and securely enough to my 3rd party case, and holds cards securely.
The video description says it holds up to 7 cards. Technically true, but kind of a stretch. It's hard to fully insert 7 cards and if you do, the fabric gets kind of bunched up. Even with just 5 or 6 cards, it's kind of finicky getting the cards fully seated. It takes an extra squeeze or to for everything to line up and sit flush.
The good 1. The stand is sturdy and holds the shape well. 2. SlimLink holds the wallet well.
The not-so-good: 1. The pull-tab is too flappy and often gets stuck behind the cards when I push the cards back in. Maybe a stiffer material would help. 2. The SlimLink holds the wallet well to my iPhone, but it twists/rotates easily so the wallet moves out of alignment with the phone case. This is probably due to the surface being slippery - both the wallet and the case (Everyday Case for iPhone) are the 100% recycled weatherproof Bluesign approved nylon canvas fabric. I have MagSafe compatible battery packs that hold their positions well because the attached surface has this rubberized texture.
I desperately wanted to love this wallet because I loved the PD case, but I really couldn't stand it. When all the cards are neat and tidy in the wallet, the cover kind of blocks the bottom camera of my samsung s23, but it wasn't significant so I didn't think it was a big deal. But then it was also incredibly difficult to place the cards into the holder once I pulled the top tab to take my cards out. When I tried to place the cards back in, there is something at the bottom blocking the cards, and when i push harder, the entire wallet flies off of the back of the phone. This product really needs a design review to be actually functionally usable
I've had this wallet for a few weeks; I wanted to wait until I had a chance to use it before submitting a review. I immediately was impressed with the quality of materials and the efficiency of the design. No wasted weight or materials, just easy access to the stuff I need on a daily basis. I usually carry two bank cards, a driver's license, plus 3-5 bills. The main features I like are the flap on top to keep the cards from spilling out, and the pull tab that allows easy access. But to my dismay, the wallet fell off my phone twice! I then ordered the Everyday Case and it's a perfect combination! The wallet stays attached, and I know my cards and cash are secure. One can see that there's a lot of thought in the design process, and I'm a fan.
