Hey! I am looking to get a Mag Safe Leather wallet as i like the look and the reviews seem like they favor it. I am a minimalist type that will only have 2 cards and a little cash to put into it. The thing is I do not have a magsafe phone... I’d only be buying the wallet because I like it and think it would be of good use to me. Is that dumb? Should i just skip it? Anyone like me?
Got a tip for us?

I don't think it is dumb at all. If you want a minimalist wallet, get one. Doesn't matter if anyone else agrees.
Thank you! I honestly don’t really care much if others agree... just maybe insight on if they may not be the perfect fit for someone that is just wanting to use it as a wallet with out the phone use.
All I would add is maybe do a little more research on “minimalistic wallets”. There are some really good ones out there that may suit your needs better at a lesser cost.
If you like it get it. But I will tell you sliding cash out of the wallet isn't nearly as easy as sliding a credit card, especially if the bill slips below the edge of the wallet opening. There just seems to be too much friction with the paper vs plastic. For this reason I stopped carrying cash in the MagSafe wallet. If you're not going to be using the MagSafe capability, you may want to keep looking for a different minimalist wallet with easy access to both cards and cash.
For me, I like small wallet too because I carry it in my front pants pockets…more secure!!
Given that Apple leather is not made for contant in and out, I would get something more robust.
This is what my wife gave my two years ago. It was on sale I think. Tough and small…no sign of wear despite being daily driver. Just a little bigger than credit card. Able to hold all that I need (Driver license, conceal carry license, two credit cards, bank card, insurance cards, AAA card, and cash).

I agree with @Aceroller. I suggest looking around before commiting to the Apple leather wallet, because there are a lot of minimalist card cases available, especially since you're not using MagSafe. I thought about going down the same route as you. I only use two cards the majority of the time (driver's license and debit card but with no cash ever) and four cards that aren't as important (Shell Fuel Rewards, Barnes & Noble, library card, and an emergency credit card) that I leave in the center console of my car. I used to use a similar card case from Coach that @Madtiger27 shared (which I highly recommend in your situation, by the way) for several years, but I started to want something that could hold all six cards (the Coach one I had only held four). I thought about getting the Liam Leather Folding Card Case from Nordstrom but wound up getting the Ezra Arthur No. 2 Leather Card Case instead.
One option you might want to look into is the Wally Junior from Distil Union.
