Top Quality, bulk is offset by utility

I keep 2 cards and an ID in here to keep it slim. It stays on really well, the hinge is strong so far, the materials are good. The stand is obviously bulkier than just the wallet alone, and it does feel kind of large in my pocket, but I've been using this constantly to hold my phone in landscape to watch videos, and just to prop it up on my desk at work. The usefulness of it outweighs the bulk, in my opinion. This thing is great
I've been using my mobile wallet for about a month now and it has streamlined how I travel daily. I keep only what I need to make through a day, a little cash, a credit card and my ID. I also use it to view my phone in my shop when my hands are full or busy I can still what's going on with my phone. It's durable, cleans off well and sticks to the phone without affecting my credit card.
Always annoyed with having a separate, bulky wallet so this is perfect. I keep 4 cards and some cash in it easily and use the kickstand at coffeeshops and anywhere i'm working away from my office. It's attached to my phone when I want it be, and it's sleek and minimalist on its own. Pro tip, get a wall mount and put it buy your door so your wallet can live there and you never forget it again.
The wallet is small. No space for currency, just an ID and a couple credit cards. So it's not really a replacement for your regular wallet. True that tapping to pay is becoming more common, but you still need space for other stuff. The stand feature works great. Set it at whatever angle you like and it stays there. But even though it's small, it doubles the thickness of my phone and it's heavy. So while the case itself is great, the wallet is a special use wallet. It will never be my only one.
I got the non-folding wallet. It worked well on some magsafe backs I had, and especially well with the Pixel 6 Pro Peak Design case. Its quite handy, and while it struggles to fit much cash or many cards, it does the job well for a few and being slim. For carrying much, you'd still want a more normal wallet.
This wallet looks great in general, but also on the back of a Peak Design phone case. The best thing, besides the looks, is the functionality, like all Peak Design products. I have owned a few minimalist wallets that are generally a pain to use. We’ve all been there: standing in the checkout lane with a line of 20 people behind you all waiting on you to try and retrieve the right card out of a great looking wallet that doesn’t work very well. Well no longer. The simple yet functional design of this wallet means it is really quite easy to gain instant access to all your cards all at once. I have even been able to fit more than the suggested 7 cards in the wallet with ease. A bonus feature of the wallet is that since it is magnetic, you can stick it to virtually any metal surface while it is not in use, and since it is made from a robust and 100% recycled nylon, you don’t have to worry about damaging the wallet or the object you are attaching it to. Still not convinced? It has a lifetime warranty too. So make this your next, and last, wallet.
