So I have search high and low for an alternative to the MagSafe wallet from Apple, but I just can’t find anything that I like nearly as much. Just the function and looks draw me right back.

My issue with the wallet is that it only holds 3 cards. I need 4 cards daily, so I am struggling trying to figure out my options. Any suggestions on what to carry for that 4th card? Right now I have 4th card along with some other loyalty cards and the like in a Thread wallet that I put in my other pocket. Not ideal at all, but not sure what other options I have. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
 
I plan on getting the Wallet over the summer after I get either phone 12 or 13. I have some concerns about the Wallet but willing to try it.
 
I put 4 in it almost every day.

Can you not put a least one of the cards in the iPhone Wallet app or are these cards which cannot be in the app?

So my issue was, I carry my  card, driver’s license, and debit card for getting cash out of the atm. The 4th card I need is my company credit card. All of them in my wallet on my phone and watch, but the  card is what I mainly use, I carry the card for places like restaurants that take your card to scan it or business that don’t have Apple Pay. I also have my business card in the wallet, but we do company lunches and again need the physical card for those. I can’t figure out a way to just have one of them in the wallet app and not carry it. Any help with that would be great.

I feel for you. Hard to believe in the US it is still acceptable for a waiter or clerk to take your physical credit card and scurry off with it out of your view to do the payment transaction. If that was done in Europe the establishment would quickly find itself out of business.

Same here in Canada. Waiter/waitress will bring a debit/credit card machine to your table at a restaurant and you can more often than not use tap or Apple Pay.

I so wish they would fix this. Hence why I use the secure  card. No card number in it at all.
 
I was just in the US over the weekend and it seems that many more places bring you a machine at your table now. Almost every restaurant I went to had the same brand of machine (I want to say "Toast" was the brand perhaps?). I was able to either tap my credit card or use Apple Pay on them and then it usually asked for a digital signature. The only restaurant that actually took my physical card was at the airport.

Was going to say, most restaurants now are doing this (but only recently - in the last year) - they bring a remote pay device to your table now. At least here in California.
