more features packed into same form factor

Roughly the same size as my previous Apple mag safe wallet but clever use of thinner material packs the stand and pull tab into roughly the same profile. Stand and pull tab work great - no regrets on this purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Decent, but not up to my expectations

Let me come right out and say I'm a Peak Design junkie. I have 6 bags, all clips, slings, loops, a tripod and I forget sometimes how much gear I have. I love the attention to detail, the smart features, the durability and for the most part also the design.
When Mobile was introduced, I was very excited! And now the gear is finally starting to tricke in, first up was the case with loop, the motorcycle holder and this wallet. And I'm torn. Coming from an Apple MagSafe wallet which has it's own unique challenges, I thought this product would remedy them all, but not so much. Overall, it does what it says. It stores your cards, and it attaches magnetically to the case, and it can double as a stand.
However, I'm lacking the polish and attention to details I'm used to with PD stuff. Perhaps it's the limited space they're able to work with here that puts severe limitations on it. Anyway, here goes:
The magnetic latching isn't very comfortable. The magnets are strong enough, but coming from MagSafe, I've gotten used to the snap on alignment. This doesn't align much if any at all. Perhaps that's a result of the added friction of the texture of both the wallet and the case. But it's very seldomly aligned very well, which becomes evident as soon as you want to extend the stand. And extending the case is finnicky. I got no lenght of nails that makes this easy or comfortable, it's simply tricky to fold out. And once you fold it in, it doesn't feel like it's folding all the way up. Probably related to the strong (and impressive) hinge, but you cant fold it any further than to close, but it will flex back a little bit.
The way to get your cards out is a pleasant surprise when you come from Apples MagSafe Wallet. However, there's so much fabric around this section, that i feels a little lose. Sure, I could stuff another 4 cards in there I guess, to get it to not feel "loose", but that's not an ideal solution. I believe something elastic here would've been a better choice.
And finally, pushing the cards back into the wallet is a little bit of an awkward move, you need to kind of push up against it from the miniscule bottom part of the wallet to get leverage. PD even includes an instruction for you how to do it, since it's not very obvious. And while all this is going on, you're much more likely than not to accidentally squeeze the flap that goes over the cards, on the inside of the cards, and unless you got small fingers or long nails, you now need to find a pen or something long and thin to fish it out, since you can't pull your cards out, since you need the now hidden tab to do.
I appreciate the effort of this product, and I don't want to disuade the ambition, I just sincerely hope that this product will be revised. How about using that square hole at the back for some snap on/alignment action?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Review for Slim Wallet:
Perfect fit, cards are snug, and the magnetic pull strap is awesome! I was a bit worried that I would have the same problem as another reviewer where the wallet slightly covered the camera frame of the phone case, but I do not have that issue with my iPhone 13 Pro. (They had a stand wallet though, which has slightly larger dimensions.)

I do think it would be nice to have a physical interlocking component on the wallet--as opposed to just a flat surface--so it fully utilizes the Slim Link design. That aside, the magnets are fairly strong, so I'm not that worried about losing the wallet.

Functional mobile wallet
on February 2, 2022

I’ve checked several mobile wallets for my iPhone 13 Pro Max, this tick all the boxes. You can store 4-5 cards, magnet feels secure, you can use it as a stand while viewing it vertically or horizontally. It’s very versatile. I’ve been playing around with it, and it looks like you can remove the fabric material and put it back to it’s metal plate which is ideal if you wish to use it in long term.

Fantastic design.

Fantastic design. I also have the loop case for the phone and the stronger magnets mean the wallet stays securely attached to the phone. It also works excellently as a stand for the phone and the phone is secure in either orientation. :)

Great addition to the mobile suite.

I bought this after getting an Everyday Case, as I was missing the stand from a popgrip. This has fulfilled my needs, but with a few caveats:
1. The mobile wallet adds significant bulk to the device; and
2. It is annoying to have to remove it to attach the phone to a stand/mount.

Overall, I use it daily but would have preferred an integrated stand of sorts.

Best Magsafe wallet available

This is a great Magsafe iPhone wallet, holds more cards than others I've owned. The magnetic closure is super satisfying and the stand gets used daily and gets noticed when I use it in public.
I would recommend this to a friend!
