Is the MagSafe wallet worth $60 to you?

[xxray]

I want the MagSafe wallet so I can not have to carry around my wallet everywhere, but I can still detach it and use MagSafe car mounts.

Apple’s MagSafe wallet I’ve heard is the best quality and has the strongest magnets. It’s also the only one I can find with any sort of Find Amy compatibility, even if it’s just the location of where the wallet fell off.

Is the wallet worth $60 to you? I mean, that’s more than I spent on my normal wallet. I’m also worried that it’ll fall off and I’ll lose it somewhere. Any feedback/reviews would be helpful. Thanks!

I think your point about worrying about it falling off means it's not for you. I'm in the same boat.
I have a front pocket slim wallet/ moneyclip and just being able to feel it is enough to know I haven't forgotten it somewhere.

I just received mine, I like the find my feature. I lost my 3rd party one the other day.

Got the wallets on Verizon 25% off

I picked one up last night. I currently have an old thin card style wallet that I've been wanting to replace. I only ever use my ID and one card. I figured I'd give the Apple wallet a shot. $60 does seem a little silly for it, but people are obviously willing to pay it... myself included.

Sorry. But no. If I don’t have wallet in my back pocket it’s time to panic. This is just asking to lose it.

I like the Moft Wallet a lot better. It turns into a stand. I don't need the Find my feature though.

 

[azhava]

Not worth it to me. I carry a lot more than my ID and one or two cards in my wallet, and I don't like the idea of my stuff being in a little magnetic pouch attached to the back of my phone. I'd rather have my wallet in my back pocket where it's always been, I'm used to it there.

Just wait a few months and get one off ebay for $30 bucks, that's how I got the "gen 1" wallet.

Which third party one did you have?

 

[caligurl]

we’ll see… I impulse bought one this morning after saying emphatically NO. I put the plum wallet on the gorgeous pink silicone and that was all she wrote!!!!!! very girly!

 

[straightMacin]

Does anyone know if the wallet will work with cases besides the silicon and leather cases from Apple?

I had $50 in Apple store gift cards from a previous purchase so I was able to pick up a midnight MagSafe wallet for about 13 bucks out the door.

I really like it so far

 

[chanerz]

I use popwallet from popsocket.

 

[Sean006]

yes I love it. Use it all the time - non skinny Jean wearer- with apple leather case and the wallet it sticks really strong. It’s all I need to carry debit license and credit card. not once has it fallen off with this combo.

Anyone with this wallet driving a Tesla? If i put the Key card in it and tap the phone on the pillar will it unlock the door? iPhone 13 PM will not always get detected by the car and instead of unlocking the phone and launch the app i could just tap the phone on the pillar. Can someone please test that before i spent 80$ Canadian bucks on this expensive item?

Did not work with last year's wallet at least. It has RFID shielding in it that prevents cards from being read unless they're out of the wallet. Kind of my main gripe with the MagSafe wallet.

☹️ That’s a deal breaker. Thank you for replying.

I will be watching this thread!

I decided to order a cheap third party MagSafe wallet off Amazon to get a gauge of how safe I feel using a MagSafe wallet. I just couldn’t justify $60 on a card-sized piece of leather that might be less convenient by making me always worry about it falling off or by not being able to pull the cards out easily.

It should still magnetize and stick, but I don’t think the Find My features will work because of the RFID in Apple’s cases. Apple’s own clear case isn’t even supported.

To me, wallets need to have at least one pocket with a clear window that I can put my ID in. Another slot for a credit or debit card and one pocket for things like folded cash or restaurant stamp cards, etc..

A new requirement for me is an AirTag slot.

I bought an Apple Wallet to go with my new 13 Pro Max. I have been wanting to reduce the size of the wallet I carry for a while now. When I saw that my state was one of the states that will be allowing you to put your drivers license in the wallet app in the near future I decided to buy the Apple Wallet and try it out. As of right now I have my drivers license, debit card, and concealed carry ID in it. I really like it so far and am glad I bought it. The Find My seems to work well also.

 

[OldRhodie]

Probably not, but I bought one anyway😂

I was considering getting the MagSafe wallet with FindMy, but realized I can pretty much only carry 3 cards. One of those would be my ID. I have several cards, including my Apple Card, that I would need to carry. The MagSafe wallet would not work for me.
