I bought one on Amazon. They had them $12 off. Plus if I don’t like it Amazon makes returns super easy.
Got a tip for us?

They aren't even listed on the UK Amazon site apart from the Saddle Brown and thats out of stock. Interestingly, all the retail stores within 50 miles of me have all colours available for pick up so i might pick up the Poppy Cal on Saturday
I purchased one at my local Apple store but am going to return it. Taking the wallet on and off constantly to remove cards and to charge it became much more of a pain than I thought it would. I like the concept but not being able to remove the cards without taking it off just wasn't for me.
thinking of getting the wallet just for those times when I need to take a physical ID with me, so it will only be used from time to time. Default off, but when I need my ID, it will be in the wallet.
Are there any 3rd party faux leather wallets announced or available now?

Will it be bulky if you put cards in your leather case?

They don't seem to be $12 off anymore, but here is the link
I picked up the wallet and love it. Suits my needs perfectly which I think is the trick...I knew straight away it was what I needed. I used to carry a full wallet around but only ever use the same two cards over and over. Now I can carry them without the bulk. And I won't necessarily attach the wallet to the phone all the time but treat it as a separate entity. However once that has the convenience that it does attach, when I need.
I think it's a relatively niche product and will suit those who know they will see benefit, rather than buying it then trying to make it fit.
As an aside. Last night I thought I'd already lost it. Spent half an hour looking round the house before remembering I'd stuck it to my magnetic notice board in the kitchen 🙈

I have already sent back one MagSafe wallet due to horrible saggy leather on the front portion but the one I picked up today is fantastic. I was worried that all of these reports of the magnets being too weak were in fact true but unless I got a wallet with superior magnets I say that is totally false.
The wallet attaches securely (better with a case but also good with naked phone). The magnets are strong enough to very much keep it falling off accidentally but the wallet is easily removed with a firm push to the left or right.
I’ve carried a small leather wallet around for years that’s full of crap. I never carry cash, everything is on the same two cards now. I now have my two debit cards and my ID in the MagSafe and I feel it’s a perfect fit for my needs. Blue on blue looks awesome too!

In my opinion, even if MagSafe is removed from future devices, I can see myself carrying this around as a stand alone wallet. Lovely and compact.
I would also like to point out that skinny jeans are what I wear everyday and I’ve had zero issues with this thing falling off while putting the phone in my pocket.

For those who may be waiting for an online order, but rather get it now: All of my local stores restocked today so it might be worth checking if your store has some for in store pickup. I myself am really on the fence about it. Initially to me it was a hard no. But I've seen a lot of good reviews lately so I was convinced. But then just now I was thinking of how I could make it work and I can get all my necessary debit and credit cards and ID, but then I remembered about my health insurance card. Do any of you have a suggestion of some app that lets me put my wholesale club cards or insurance cards digitally? Thanks in advance.
I store most of my cards digitally in my Apple wallet on my phone including my health insurance card. The only physical cards I carry with me are my license, debit card and a spare emergency credit card. I probably could ditch both the debit and credit cards since they’re also in my digital wallet. I just fear that I’ll need to pay for something and Apple Pay isn’t available.
Yeah I actually started digging a bit further and my health insurance offers my card on Apple Wallet. My prescriptions card on the other hand doesn't look like it does at first glance. But I'm sure thats something we can take a picture of. Regardless, I should have one spot free up in the wallet soon because Florida will begin offering Digital Driver's Licenses in 2021. Woohoo! The only thing we manage to do right lol
Well I kinda solved my own problem very quickly lmao. Got my Health Care, Prescription Drugs, Sams Club, Costco, and BJ's card all added on my phone haha. The only downside is that BJ's and Costco don't let you add it to Wallet, only on their apps, because they generate a new code every couple of minutes. Thanks to everyone regardless
At least for me, I signed into the app for my health insurance provider, and there was an option to see the ID card, and then another option to add it to Apple Wallet.
Same here. I signed into my health care provider’s app and was able to add the digital card to my Apple digital wallet.
Man that really sucks. Regardless though I think that would work. Instead of opening the wallet app just open the Cigna app. It seems manageable
