Excellent built quality

This slim wallet is excellent built quality and magnet is super when it gets attached to everyday mobile case - it doesnt fall off at all - looks solid when attached magnetically.
Peak Design has given great attention to its detail and every inch of the product is well made. its flap magnet is also very good quality.

Use only if you want to lose your credit cards

I love Peak Design stuff and have purchased maybe 6 of their backpacks and shoulder bags plus a dozen straps, three iPhone cases and a bunch of things to connect the phone to. All are great, except for this one. A mobile wallet should do two things, (1) be mobile and (2) be a wallet that securely holds onto your cards. This item sadly does neither. I consider it not mobile because it adds hugely to the weight and bulk of the phone. That problem probably would not be too much of a concern for someone that carries their phone mostly in a bag, but it is a big concern for anyone carrying the phone in a pocket. The lack of security is due to the fact the item uses magnets only to hold the wallet onto the back of phone, eschewing for some reason the innovative and excellent mechanical locking port on the back of the phone case. The magnets are insufficient for two reasons: (1) while the magnets are strong enough to hold the phone on a non-moving support, like a Q-charger, they are not strong enough to hold the much lighter card case onto a moving phone, and (2) anyone who has attached two magnets together knows the way to separate them is to slide them apart, not pull them apart. Of course, the sliding motion used to pull the Phone case out of a pocket or pocketbook is exactly the motion needed to slip the wallet off the back of the case. This particular item was purchased so my wife could use the excellent PeakDesign leash neck strap with her phone and mobile wallet. Well, one does not need to walk further than 10 steps before the swinging phone on the leash wipes against the body, sliding the wallet off the camera case, where it falls to the ground, potentially lost forever with your cards. A TERRIBLE design. I have a design in my head that would cut the bulk and the weight in half AND securely hold the wallet to the back of the phone case. If PeakDesign wants to hear about my suggestions, they can contact me. If they use my idea, they can do so and I want nothing in return. All the best.

Wallet attaches strongly to the back of the case. The cards pull fine using the flap, but sliding cards back into the case according to directions is almost impossible and causes the case to detach from the phone case. The wallet must be removes and at 250 pounds and being strong from being a farrier, can barely get the cards to retract into the wallet.

It's fine. Not great.

I've purchased thousands of dollars worth of gear from Peak Design over the years and I pretty much love everything I own. This wallet is the one thing that doesn't quite cut it. It's fine. But, the flap always ends up behind the cards. On several occasions I hadn't realized this and launched my credit cards across a store or restaurant. The cards don't quite go back into the wallet snug and I'm always fumbling with the flap at checkout. The good news is, I mostly use the phone to pay for everything these days, so I haven't needed to replace it. But, I keep hoping there will be an upgrade at some point.

Good but not yet great

With most of their products, PD knocks design and functionality out of the park. I bought this wallet and fairly happy but they haven't quite perfected the design. The magnet and card carrying capacity is top notch, the issue I run into is getting the cards back in the wallet and the magnetic closer tab wanting to get in behind the cards as you are putting credit cards back into the wallet. Seems this "lid" should be a bit more rigid so this would not happen. Otherwise it's a pretty solid product. One other wish or option would be for the wallet to attach to the PD phone case with it's locking mechanism. When I've dropped my phone, the wallet will most times detach from the phone and the cards will sometimes go flying out the magnetic "close flapper" due to the force of the drop.

Very good, but…

I own both the Slim Wallet and Slim Wallet with Stand. I got the former after enjoying the version with the stand because I didn’t use the stand as much as I thought I would, and it added bulk and weight.
To my surprise, the Slim Wallet’s magnet isn’t as strong as the one with the stand. It’s usable and not dissimilar to Apple’s wallet strength, so while not a deal breaker, it’s definitely not nearly as strong as the amazingly strong magnet on the stand version (which is above average), so keep that in mind.
