Absolutely love this wallet—I have the slim version. I use it both with and without my phone, and it's soooo convenient. The opening mechanism is a joy to use! I originally got it on Kickstarter, and it still hasn’t torn or worn out. Thanks, Peak Design, for the amazing quality and design!
Very nice slim wallet, easily handles 4 cards, ID and a folded bill with magnetic closure to help keep them secure. It does pair well with the Peak Design iPhone case, however I do wish the magnetic attachment was a bit better. I have had prior wallet/case combinations which were more secure feeling, and this wallet does not use the full MagSafe technology to keep it from being able to rotate. Friction of the material between the wallet and phone case help, but it still rotates easier than I would like which makes it more prone to getting dislodged if a corner stick out over the phones edge.
I have several Peak Design products including a backpack, packing cubes, tech kit, and a phone stand and they have all been excellent. If they were the Peak of design then this wallet is the Death Valley of design. #1 - the magnets that were supposed to be so strong are not. The wallet falls off the phone just by taking it out of my pocket. #2 - The mechanism for removing cards is anything but smooth. #3 - The construction looks like an at home project. Not your best work, Peak Design.
I've had the slim wallet for about a year, and it's working as well as ever. Sturdy product. Nice design. I like the feel of the canvas. Glad I bought it. Although, mine is gray and I really like the look of the new Sun model. Can I justify having two slim wallets?
Just received this and not too impressed. It seems kind of flimsy. Inserting the cards results in the cover kind of folding on itself. The magnetic cover seems to easily flip inside the holder and is a pain to remove. A little more engineering on this and it might be good. There are other options available in the market for less money. This item will probably be going back.
Have used this wallet for several months. It falls off constantly. As in several times a day. I think it's the fabric on fabric design. I need a place for an airpod because I am going to lose my cards. The flap is usless. In just a few months it has lost it's form and is now constantly in front of the camera. I am currently looking for a new wallet that will work as advertised. I like the kickstand but rarely use it.
I've tried three other wallets previously but they just haven't been right. To thick, bad magnets, bad design. I had almost given up on using them. After deciding to purchase their everyday loop case I though I my as well try their slim wallet. I'm glad I did. The strongest magnets of any of the wallets I've tried. No unnecessary bulkiness, and a great design with their pull tab for access to your cards. I now feel safe with putting my essentials in the magsafe wallet and leaving my old school wallet at home.
GREAT wallet, I use it daily. The only thing that I would absolutely love to see, is the integration of Slimlink tech. For something as important and valuable as a wallet, it makes no sense to not utilize the best possible attachment system to the Peak Design phone case. If that is ever offered as an option, it would be the absolute perfect case/wallet combination possible.
