They certainly won't stop you from doing it, versatility is what is going to make these accessories work, in a way its a good thing AirPower died

Heck no. If you’ve ever bought Ali stuff you’d know it’s nowhere near OEM quality. Silicone cases have big nasty seams on them, the back logo is easily popped out.
Only thing I’ve found that’s close to OEM is sport loops.
I thought this Arends lady from Burberry left Apple. Come on, what is next a AR fitting room in the Store app to try your phone and cover ?
It is a phone, not your new expensive sweater

I never really understood why people carry credit cards with their phones. Must be an American thing. I leave my phone sometimes inside when I go to smoke a cigarette outside, and it would be really bad to have that stolen. I don't feel like carrying my phone everywhere with me because I have cash or a credit card in the back of it.
A lot of good cheap cases on Amazon, unless you prefer waiting for 3 months for a product.
I would not for a moment assume that had anything to do with music production requirements.
With me not being a smoker, I’ve never felt that “leaving my phone behind while I go outside for a bit” was a thing I have to do. I AM American, too, though, and can’t really trust that it’d be there when I got back. Even if I wasn’t in America.
I got a wallet case because I realized that 90% of the time when I’m looking for my phone/cards, it’s when I just want to know where my phone/cards are. My phone’s almost always in my shirt pocket, so it doesn’t come up often. BUT, when I’m grabbing fast food bags after paying with Apple Pay, sometimes it gets left on the seat. One ping with my watch later and I know where my cards and phone are.
And, if my cards ever REALLY go missing, well, they go missing along with my phone. So, I know as soon as I check Find My... (it’s like having a tracker on my cards which would also be a good idea).
Or maybe from another perspective: you thought it’s all Ive’s fault but it turns out anything can be made a little bit kore ridiculous.
They’re still going to sell a huge number of them. I mean, YouTubers have physically destroyed iPads and iPhones many times over and they still sell.
Too bad it’s more of a novelty than something that’s actually functional. Those wallet attachments are laughable.
Those same reviewers drop phones on to concrete and get surprised it broke... a tiny bit of common sense and that wallet case won’t go anywhere unless you’re taking it off
Agreed. Get your phone stolen, and you lose everything in one go. Been mugged (in London) twice for my phone now, would not want to give them my cards as well. LOL If they did then it would have been a lot harder to get home as well.
Same as with cash, I tend to keep a bit in one pocket and a single note in the other. Again when mugged (in Warsaw most recently) I threw that one note at them and got away...
Having the two things attached just doesn't make sense to me. Besides the cards are on the phone wallet app anyway, so why need them physically as well when taking your phones out? And then the wallet is shielded so if you wanted to use the card then you have to take it out.
Nope to me, the use case doesn't make sense, the impacts of a security breach are too great.
