Good and Bad

I like this product, but the downside is that I lost my cards for the second time. At first, I found it, and I hope I will see/find it again this time. The magnet is not strong enough to secure the cards, especially when your packets are tight and you are in a rush. There is a possibility that your card case will detach from the back of the phone. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 How I wish this is something that will stick forever in the phone casing. I love this wallet at first, but after the second incident, I changed my mind.
Very weak MagSafe wallet, will fall off constantly

I bought this a couple weeks ago, paired with a PD case with loop for my iPhone 16 pro. I’ve never dropped my phone before until I got this wallet. The MagSafe magnet is so weak that when I open the stand, the wallet will separate from the phone. When you put your phone in your pocket, expect the wallet to slide off. It’s a very nice design, but the MagSafe is too weak to actually use the function of sliding out your credit cards without using two hands (one to brace wallet from sliding up, the other to pull the tab). Pretty disappointed, I’m just too lazy to ship it back.
Excellent Strength, cannot live without. Use it every day! Not only landscape, and portrait, but ALSO 45 Degree mode so you can still charge and watch things semi portrait! Or lying down with a angled pillow. Incredible useful feature 45 Degrees viewing! Very stable!
Was excited to receive the Peak Design magnetic wallet because I wanted a slim stand wallet that would fit cards securely. The magnetic flap seems to do that. And it is a slim profile that fits in a back pocket. The stand feature is great. BUT, line others have noted, I’m mystified why the wallet does not attach with the same secure clip that holds the phone to my motorcycle. The magnet is strong but not secure. When I push the cards back down into the wallet, the wallet gets pushed off the phone. It doesn’t actually connect to the “female” indentation in the phone case! Seems like that would have been easy to do, no? Perhaps the next version, but as for this one, okay not what I expected. Also, the wallet reddish color does not match my phone case reddish color. Again, seems like it should?
I have to start this by saying that I *love* Peak Design. I have multiple bags, anchors on every camera (and my wallet and my keys,) tethers in my purses, capture clips on strap I may want to carry a camera on, the phone cases (both regular and Gnar) and not only the current tripod but also plans to get the new model.
That's why it hurts to say... this wallet stinks. It doesn't feel like the construction I expect from PD. It looks like it's been glued together from scrap fabric. Like something you'd expect to see on a YouTube tutorial explaining how to fashion a phone tripod using just a hinge and some glue.
The big fault though is the magnets. These are *weak* magnets. I have flung the wallet off my phone and onto the ground maybe ten times in the *two* days I've been using it. I would feel at fault if I was using some 3rd party case with it, but it's *the* PD Everyday phone case. It's just not safe to use this wallet with cards you care about. It really snaps right off with very little force. Even just grazing the wallet with a finger causes it to start twisting off.
