Holds just enough cards, stand it's rock solid. I use it as a stand as well as a substitute for a pop socket and it's perfect! Cards are easy to get in and out.
Great minimalist wallet! But the magnets are petty weak even with the peak design everyday iPhone case. Also if they could add pass through charging so you didn’t have to remove the wallet if you have wireless charging in your vehicle.
I finally found a wallet I’m comfortable having attached to my phone. The fact it’s detachable, slim, and sturdy made me smile as soon as I pulled it out of the box. I keep it with me now even when I don’t have my phone on me because it’s so discreet and compact. And attached to my phone’s PD case, it’s still sleek and not bulky.
Initially quite happy with wallet. Slim, with secure magnetic hold to phone case. Then stayed in two different hotels. Both times Room Key Cards would not work after being placed in the Mobile Wallet. Had to get new keys every time to re-enter the room. Started keeping key card in shirt pocket and problem solved.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sorry for the frustration here! We do speak to this in the help article on our website:
Will The Magnets In PD Cases/Mounts Hurt Or Interfere With My Phone?
With credit cards you should be fine. With hotel room keys, results are much more mixed. We've observed that hotels with newer key systems are less likely to be demagnetized than hotels with older systems, but those results are mostly anecdotal. In any case, we recommend not keeping your hotel key in the same pocket as your phone to save yourself the risk of a 2am front desk trip.
The magnetic strip in hotel room keys is designed to be written and rewritten over and over again, and hence it's much more easily demagnetized than a credit card.
Smallest cinema in the world. Great wallet, too :)

I bought the mobile wallet as a way to keep the driver's license (and maybe an emergency credit card) in the same pocket as the phone. Every man knows you cannot have too many pockets. Because you never know when need for storage arises. Anyway. It does a pretty good job as wallet. You can stuff quite a few cards in it, should you be inclined to do so, and you know they'll be safely attached to the phone. It's very (VERY) difficult to detach it from the phone by accident, the magnet is great. A very nice aspect of the wallet is that it works great as a phone holder (in landscape, too) so you can improvise a nice cinema on the table. It also works on coffee tables and any other horizontal surfaces. If there's something to put in the Cons list, the wallet is a bit heavy (only a bit), so maybe I could consider the other wallet, that lacks the cinema mode, for when I'm not flying. :)
If you've ever used a Pop-Wallet, you will love this so much more! There's nothing left stuck to the back of your phone! The way Peak has designed their Everyday Case means you can use all their accessories without having the back of your phone "look ugly" or have to feel extra stuff stuck to the back of your phone. The magnet in Peak's SlimLink system is far superior to anything else I've used! The wallet stays in place - even when I slide my phone into the side pocket of workout leggings! Easily holds 4 cards. It is awesome!
I stopped using it because I did not like the function where you pull the flap to get the cards out. It did not retract very well and I felt it was in the way when putting the wallet or wallet on the phonecase in and out of the pocket.
The stand function is smart but for me, it just adds more bulk.
After trying a few phone wallets this has solved all my problems with others. It can be used as a stand in many orientations and it holds a lot of cards.
