if the clamp works than its worth it. I like to stuff money and other things in there over time and I know for sure that these wallets stretch out and then if you dont stuff htem fully, cards will fall out. I rather pay for quality
Got a tip for us?

Just received my MagSafe wallet (3rd party)

The youtube video showed that the Apple wallet could hold just one card without it falling out because of the metal clamp at the bottom
I didn't say Apple one is not made in China or Apple invented wallet, stop putting words into my mouth. This isn't even wallet it's iPhone accessory and there's difference between Apple designed vs China copy.
in former times i would had agreed. But these times unfortunately are over. I had macs before they where hip and cool and before the whole world knew Apple as a global brand. in these times there were definitely differences. Since Steve has gone, the innovation became more and more slower. The product development began becoming worse, I miss focus, something iconic. Nowadays the product bandwidth is extremely wide, Apple today’s sells 5 actual types of iPhones in up to 6 coulors. 4 types of iPads. I’m missing real product focus, real innovation.
and sorry, but it’s a wallet. It’s a wallet that holds with magnets on a phone. The wallet is not new, the way of connecting something with magnet is not new, even the combination of it is not new.
to come back: is a wallet holding 3 cards with a clamp holding 1 card a innovation, something special, a real innovation?, that it worth 65 EUR? I have a full universe of Apple products at home (12pro, iPad Air 4th, iPad 2018 for travel purpose, iMac, AppleTV and a much things around) .... but here I see nothing that is worth that money. Sorry
I got this one of Etsy and its trash. Magnets are only in the circle nothing for the vertical so it can spin. It barely holds on the Apple Leather case and does not have a clamp or device to hold one card so the card falls out. Here are some pictures and the seller to avoid. FYI: The color is not a match but if all else was god it would have worked.

How about those pictures and comparison. The one I bought of Etsy the magnets were worthless. I want to see how yours is that you bought.
I already asked. It seems that no one want‘s to post a link here. Don’t know why. A seller name would be fine too
Just get the real one people if you really want one. Bestbuy has them 20% off with coupon but they're OOS. I'm not in a hurry just ordered one.
Sorry about that it worked last night I guess already expired.
sweet, I didnt know there were any 3rd party wallets available yet. 
Saw this on AliExpress, looks promising by the reviews. From seller HTMOTXY Anime Store

- has anyone tried this one? How is the magnet strength vs original Apple?
- By the reviews I recon it has the mid alignment magnet to make it stay in place.

Exactly! I asked directly for more videos/pics and said it’d be really good for him to post real images in order to differentiate his from others. Guess what? No response...
Can we be assured that these third party wallets actually shield our cards from damage? I am so tempted to try one but I am very happy with my Apple Baltic Blue and tempted to get the Cal Poppy

I would trust those 5 stars review with a huge grain of salt. You might as well save $10 and buy legit one.
I received mine yesterday. I don`t know why they sent two. Ordered from Aliexpress. They look great and also have the Apple Logo. Built Quality is nice.
But they are totally trash and unusable. They only have the Circle Magents. So it will not hold well on the Back of my 12 Pro.
