I'm beyond happy with this. I found it on Etsy (not sure if I can link). I talked to the seller and they said they just had the manufacturer put a stronger or thicker magnet inside.

I used to always use the silicon stick on cases and thought I'd end up going back based on the earlier reviews of Apples magnet but it looks like 3rd party is delivering! Woot woot!

EDIT:
Just added the strength test video vs Apples.. Apple really screwed up

Will this work with the iPhone 12 mini as well? Is it the same dimensions as the Apple one?
 
How long did it take to receive? I noticed the description says they are handmade so please allow some time to create.
 
Have you compared the quality to an Apple one? I don't want an Apple logo on my wallet so looking for alternatives.

No! I cancelled my pre-order mine kept getting pushed back

Ill try to take some pictures after work if I remember
 
This is hilarious how you are being fooled by a seller using a video from a chinese supplier to sell their product. I've seen that exact video sent to me by a different seller on the platform. It says it's handmade but I'm 99.99% sure that it's being dropshipped by that seller hence the long delivery period, and the fact that the pictures are the exact same as some you find online. All the sellers have the same magnet.

I found another seller that is cheaper and has faster delivery by 4 weeks, and its free shipping. jeez the amount you can save with a little bit of research, plus this one offers customization.

Stronger, holds an extra card, and doesn't have a logo? Sounds pretty good. Personally, I'd still need one that holds more cards, but this is definitely looking better than the official one.

Etsy has other sellers selling the same product cheaper, and with just 1 week delivery vs 6 weeks here. The Magnets would be the same from what I see on the other. I found one that actually offer customization as well and it arrives way faster, plus it has free shipping, plus it's a little bit cheaper than this and they also have the same magnet. I had that same video sent to me by the seller I bought from.
 
Looks good.

Ive ordered one of Ali Express for £10. I don’t anticipate using it that much but I like the idea and would like the option to use if it I want to.

Can’t justify £60 for a genuine one to collect dust in my drawer.

I’ve ‘favourited’ this Etsy one depending on how my Ali Express one turns out

believe it or not, this seller is actually drop shipping the exact same product that is on AliExpress. This is just the seller posting a video they got from the supplier.

It says that so they have enough time to dropship it. I found another seller that delivers in just a week and is cheaper, offers personalization and free shipping. If you just go to etsy and search "MagSafe Wallet" there are other sellers that arrive in a week vs 6 weeks, plus they offer free shipping, and they are cheaper than this one. This post was just made by the seller themselves to promote their own product. I've had another seller show me the same video almost 3 weeks ago

it can't be any different that this one right? This one also uses the same magnet, except this seller has more sales. It's cheaper and way faster shipping, I'm just gonna with this instead.

They’re probably all the same Ali Express knock offs anyway.
 
I would order directly from AliExpress, much cheaper then Etsy. And some of them comes with apple logo.
