Wonderful Wallet

I was looking for a simple alternative and solution to my habit of finding a coffee mug or something similar to prop up my iPhone when reading. When I realized that Peak Design had such a solution I immediately hiked over to their NYC store. All the wallet options were on display at the store and I chose a color that integrates very well with my sage green Apple iPhone case. The case easily holds several cards but all I need is a credit card and a driver's license. I could have bought a Peak Design case as well, which may have provided an even tighter grip, but I didn't feel that it was necessary. This is a very good case, it is well made, it is built and designed as promised and I'm very happy with it.
This is the first kickstand I have had with a phone and I have to say I love it. I use it way more often than I thought I would. The magnet is very strong and sticks to the case well in both the upright and 90-degree format. The hinge is super strong and stable at seemingly every angle, which is surprising and awesome! I have only had it for a couple weeks, but it seems very sturdy. The only downside, which I knew when I purchased it, is that it really only holds cards, no cash. I have put a couple bills in it, but it is awkward with that. I like to have a small amount of cash on me so that is a downside as now I am not having any cash, but it does hold all my essential cards - ID, 2 fav credit cards, ATM and health insurance.
I was skeptical, but the magenta are strong. The wallet will occasionally come off when I take the phone out of my pocket, but the wallet stays in the pocket. The magnet fold on top is elegantly designed and it is easy to store and access my cards. Having a built in stand has been a bonus I didn't know I'd appreciate so much.
If you're a minimalist with taste (like me!) you'll love this wallet. Good feel in the hand. Easy to store in a front pocket. Great access to contents!
I bought the mobile wallet stand initially, but exchanged it for slim wallet instead due to the weight. The stand was quite heavy and the slim wallet is lighter, but still have some weight on it. The mag safe is very sturdy compared to all other alternative mag safe wallet I’ve used in the past. Will buy this again.
I bought this thinking that a small wallet attached to my phone was a clever idea. What I found was it is too small to carry everything I need and it has to be removed and put in my pocket whenever I want to use the amazing Peak Design mounts. I have one in my car and two on my motorcycles. So instead of being more convenient, I wind up carrying my old wallet plus my new one whenever I leave the house. If you can live with a tiny wallet, you won’t find a better one but it doesn’t work for me.
