Well-designed, well-built, useful stand feature

The Peak Design Folding Wallet is a good solution for carrying more than a couple cards. The folding mechanism feels robust yet the whole wallet is surprisingly slim for the features. The material feels nice but the texture does mean there’s some extra friction against the cards when ejecting them by pulling on the flap—however it does seem to be getting smoother over time. The phone-side magnets have a good strength, especially when used with a case that has strong magnets itself (I don’t yet have a Peak Design case.) If you want a higher capacity MagSafe-compatible stand wallet, this is a solid choice!
This wallet exceeded my expectations. I've tried other small wallets in the past but those didn't stick to my phone. This one stays with my phone which means it's not a loose small item in my pocket. And the materials are so thin, my previous small wallets were much thicker just because of the materials used. Combined with my cards now in the Wallet app on my phone, I barely have to take any cards with me so this thin wallet is perfect. Easy to remove if I need to mount my phone on a tripod, car mount, bicycle mount, etc.
I was worried I would have to choose to use either the mobile tripod or this at any given time but they actually stack together nicely, so I keep both with my phone at all times. It's heavy like that but they remove easily to hold my phone and provide a lot of convenient ways to position my phone so it's worth it. Wish it had a separate way of holding some cash but I can still stash some at the front no problem
I love this accessory, no more wallet for me. Just this mobile wallet attached to my phone. It holds more cards than my last wallet (occasionally important) and I love that it also doubles as a stand, I use both features every day. Side note, the feel of the material is very different from what I've used in the past and I like it.
I don’t know if this was intended, but I found an extra benefit on a recent flight. By sliding the wallet into the seatback slot, I was able to keep my phone at eye level to watch movies. I know some people are concerned about how secure the magnets are, but it had no trouble holding my iPhone 14 pro max even through the turbulence!
I upgraded from the Apple magnetic wallet and so glad I did. I've had two others buy one after seeing how it can act as a quick iPhone holder to watch a video on a table or Facetime.
The size, thickness and shape are very appealing. However, the sleeve is a bit wrinkled and uneven. Visually not the quality I'm used to from PD. When pushing the cards in, it scratches somewhere. I hope there it does not come to the wear of the cards or the sleeve.
