iPhone 12 mini, black leather case and black leather wallet, first impresions are great. The leather on leather provides so much stickiness (in a good way), that I am confident I will never lose this wallet by an accident. Leather on leather is a way to go.

I got the Cal Pop yellow wallet two days ago. Today was the first day I left my house since it arrived (yay physical therapy). Drove all the way to PT and when I went to pay I realized I forgot my wallet. ? Ooops. Gotta get used to the tiny wallet haha.

I finally received my knockoff AliExpress wallets I ordered in November after reading how much better they were in this thread. I can safely say they're SO MUCH WORSE with SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKER magnets. Grr. There's $35 down the drain.

Received the Apple wallet in black. Like it a lot. However, I wonder - is it a solution in search of a problem? How are you using your’s?

A nice way of putting it! But you’re dead right. Hardly used mine. Best use of it for me is I like the way it feels in the hand when on the phone. Makes it a bit like the battery case.

When I have used it I find it awkward to get cards out. Unless you just use one card you have to take everything out to get when you want....

For years I have had slim wallets that matches with my iPhone leather case. I use to carry both together in one hand and it was luxurious leather goodness. Now that the apple wallet is here it’s a match made in heaven. And I can stick them together and carry it in my hand. I love it

I use it all the time for the reasons you say, feels good in the hand when the wallet in on the phone. It's difficult to get cards out, but that means they're securely in the wallet plus not it's not often I need to pull out a card so not a big hassle. I only have 2 cards and a note/bill in there. Three cards would be too tight.

I plan to carry the wallet separately when I use my sleeve. Currently, I'm using RhinoShield bumpers with wallet.

When I carried 3 cards in mine, sliding out the card with my thumb was difficult and annoying especially during dry winter months. I notched some grooves in the most-used card and made it easier to slide it out with my nail. Now I carry 2 cards plus 2 bills but the grooves still come in handy.

I ordered a Baltic Blue wallet to ride my black leather case, set to arrive on Wednesday. I plan on carrying my Apple Card and driver license along with a couple cash moneys. Can anyone using theirs with an Apple Card (or similar metal card) chime in with their experience?

You should be good. Maybe a bit tight with 2 notes though. I carry 1 note and it’s a good balance between tight and loose enough to get at cards easily.

Saddle brown with naked iPhone 12 Mini white 256gb. Feels great in hand. Prefer it over naked phone as it adds grip and cradles in hand fantastic. Easy to take off to charge or feel naked phone in hand. The wallet serves as a great phone coaster when placed magnet side on table and want to use the phone naked.

I don’t use cards often but have my debit and license and (2) $10 bills. My only wish is if they put a notch at the bottom to push cards out without having to remove the wallet from phone to get cards out. A bit awkward when I need to use the cards and have to remove wallet from phone to remove cards. Otherwise love this with naked iPhone Mini. Fits perfect.

I’ve been considering purchasing the Apple leather wallet. Do you guys think that there is room for improvement on the design? For example, would you maybe move the card removal push slot to the front or would you prefer something like Distil Union does with a pull tab?

A bit more space, 3 cards are a tight fit. 3 cards if one of them if Apple Card then not possible at all.
