They stay very secure. They don’t fall out when you turn the wallet upside down or shake it.

I have no issues with typing and general use with the wallet attached. It’s a bit thicker but isn’t too heavy or cumbersome.
But pairing this with the Pro Max might just push it over the edge of being comfortable, especially with the new square edges of the phone.
Just Ordered one in San Francisco and cancelled my online order 
It’s a much higher tech gizmo than iPod socks were 🤣
The world’s most innovative tech company continues to innovate, not to worry.
On a lark, I checked the apples stores nearby, and found they had one in stock. Bought through the app, and just picked it up.
Reminds me a lot of a wallet I had for years with my iPhone-the Kapotas Airstik. Very similar. Fits a license and 2 credit cards easily. Feels like there is a clip of some sort at the bottom that keeps the cards secure.
Easy on, easy off. Does not some off when the phone is shaken. I wouldn't hate the magnet being slightly stronger, but all in all it's fine.
I do love the fact that I can reach into my pocket and take the wallet off my phone without taking everything out. Works great with the silicon case as well.

Yeah, let us know when Apple Pay is supported worldwide AND when I can import my home keycard and office keycard into it
I'm generally underwhelmed with the recent updates, but would consider upgrading from my X to 12 when they start shipping these in Malaysia. Great replacement for the thingy I use to carry the 3 most important cards (money, work, home). Since I don't use any old-school styled keys, that's all I need. Especially if I can slide a Tile in there along with the 3 cards and folded-up "emergency" RM100.
Unfortunately, we drivers still need to carry licenses. And I use Apple Pay as much as I can, but I still carry one card, just in case.
This wallet is right up my alley.
And this video allays my fears about the card(s) falling out.
May we pay more for stronger magnets?

Until Tim can figure out how to include drivers ID’s, Military ID’s (and the like), CAC cards, CCW licenses and on and on I think we are stuck with wallets despite what Apple wants.
I am struggling with this accessory. It's not a case - so minimal protection and it's not big enough to carry more than 3 cards - so I'd have to swap out which cards I want to carry at one time. Might as well take my actual wallet.
Add to that you can not charge through it, so you might as well just use a lightning cable. Which brings me on to MagSafe.. I can only assume Apple has some great ideas up it's sleeve as the disc that magnetically attaches to your phone is huge!! Yes it attaches really easily but come on... is it that tough to insert a lightning cable.
As someone who travels a fair but I like to travel light. Much prefer to take a short lightning cable than that thing!!

That's what I seem to be seeing from YouTube videos as well - the wallet case seems to adhere better to the MagSafe cases than it does to the iPhone itself.
I got one, it's stronger than you think but still not as good as I would like on the clear plastic case. You have to take the wallet off the back to get any of the contents out and you have to start with the furthest one back. So the most often used card should be in the back. Not sure I like that instead of having an individual pockets for cards and cash.
