It’s safe to assume people aren’t using their magsafe wallet, if it’s the finewoven variant 😜
I like my FineWoven Magsafe Wallet—but just in the black color. I had the blackberry/plum or whatever purplish one but it started to discolor (turning black around edges) so I exchanged it for a black one and all good.
 
I have a Moft wallet and no case. I got Apple Care for the phone. All I need is something makes the phone lay flat on the table.
 
I have used one every day since they were released. I have three cards - credit, debit and drivers license. If I'm going somewhere that I might need cash I slip a 20 or 50 in there too.

I tried one for fun, but I've never considered buying one.
As soon as I'd put my phone in my pocket, I'd lose my credit card for sure. 🤣
MagSafe is a good idea for charging, but I find it absolutely terrible to even think of using this thing as a wallet. It can spin around and can get separated very easily.

I have been using one since they came out and mine has never gotten separated once. That is an imaginary issue that if you use one for an extended period of time you realize never happens. I used the official Apple one for 2 years and then better aftermarket ones for the last 2 years.

I am sure It has happened to someones friends cousin or idiots have lost their wallet and claimed it fell off, but it locks in well and it takes a lot of pressure to take off and can't really be pushed off without grabbing it.

I was at a concert last week with mosh pits and had my phone out the entire time and didn't even consider that my wallet might fall off. Because it wouldnt.

As far as credit cards falling out, with the Apple one it is actually the opposite. I struggled to get a credit card out at times it was in there so tight.
 
Ever since the apple wallet came out, I’ve switch to exclusively using magsafe wallets. Haven’t had a normal bi-fold wallet since. I’d say im at a solid 12 magsafe wallets and just cycle through them or keep one in the car if for some rare reason i need more than 2-3 cardsView attachment 2458344
To me this picture screams „my phone wasn’t expensive enough so I need to let people know-know, everyday anew.“
I mean, each their own, different aesthetics, different settings, different wallets.
But damn you seem to have more wallets than I do pairs of shoes and half of them wallets are probably as expensive as all of my shoes combined.
 
I use one but only very occasionally when I know I need to take a physical card with me, tr maybe a folded £ note. It's only a very cheap one costing less that £10 but if holds rock solid to the phone and is quite an effort to remove, which is good. A bank card fits tight so wont slip out, and can get two cards in there if needed.

If I have to take any more csh out with me then I use my proper wallet as I can only get a couple of folded notes in there.
 
I saw one in it's natural habitat the other day. Lying on the ground outside the tube station at Covent Garden.

So that's one person who no longer uses it.

I feel the same way about people with rolex’s lol my Apple Watch is cheaper and does more 😂 but your right, to each their own!
 
I think whether you can realistically get by with just a MagSafe wallet depends on the area of the world in which you live and where you shop/eat. I still routinely encounter businesses that are cash only and I also need to carry my health insurance card everywhere along with my drivers license and my work ID. As a result, I still use a traditional wallet.
