Satechi Debuts New MagSafe-Compatible Wallet Stand for iPhone 15

[MacRumors]

Satechi today announced the launch of a new Magnetic Wallet Stand that is designed as an accessory to be used with the new iPhone 15 models that are releasing this Friday.

The Magnetic Wallet Stand attaches to the back of any MagSafe iPhone, and Satechi says that it was created to have a "strong and reliable attachment" to keep the wallet from coming off of the iPhone. Up to four credit cards, debit cards, or ID cards can be stored in the wallet, and there is a cutout for quickly showing an ID.

NFC passthrough is available from the front pocket, enabling Tap to Pay functionality without the need to remove a card from the wallet.

In addition to serving as a wallet, the accessory can be unfolded and used as a secure stand to prop up the iPhone for FaceTime calls, watching videos, playing games with a Bluetooth controller, and more. It can attach to the iPhone in either horizontal or vertical orientation when used as a stand accessory.

Made from a leather alternative, the Magnetic Wallet Stand can be purchased in seven colors. Black, brown, navy blue, and orange are available from the Satechi website, and Apple is selling the Wallet Stand in black as well as three exclusive colors, including forest green, purple, and blue.

Satechi's new Magnetic Wallet Stand is available starting today and it is priced at $40.

Just two cards, even less than the original one.

It's a no for me. I need at least 3.

novel idea ....doesnt seem like you can connect a MagSafe to the inner side?

Ooooo that's a cool idea.

this is more exciting than the iphone 15 (to me)

it supports 4, 2 on the outside and 2 on the inner side of the flap/stand

No place for cash is a no go. I still like to pay with cash, especially at local small businesses. That 2% or whatever the credit cards are charging can be a big difference to these small businesses.

Exclusive colours on the Apple store.

My new car is unlocked with my iPhone, my house is unlocked with my iPhone, I can pay with my iPhone almost everywhere. What I want is a slim case that has a single impression on the inside for a driver's license and I don't want it to be any thicker.

I want the drivers license to go on the inside, so I have to remove the case to get at it. Why? Because I only need to show my driver's license once or twice per year because I never go inside banks or get tickets, and my state doesn't have Digital ID yet. I only need my ID at airports or if I buy a car or a house. Most places take Apple Pay nowadays, and I could stick a $50 bill inside the case too for emergencies, maybe leave another couple $50s in my car. Then I would only need to grab my phone to go anywhere.

I don't trust these magnetic wallets. I will definitely lose this. And I don't want to have to remove something just to use MagSafe to charge. A single driver's license won't be enough to block the wireless charging.

I want the opposite, RFID blocking wallets. Why would I want to make it easy for scammers?

 

[cjgrif]

I'm not sure how useful the ID window will be though...seems small and blocks a lot around the edges.

 

[LogicalApex]

A single driver's license won't be enough to block the wireless charging.

Uh, yeah it would. There is a reason why MagSafe cases include another MagSafe coil in the case for passthrough.

 

[Anglagard]

It does not look like the phone is protected though, with these mega expensive devices we need protection.

 

[klasma]

(nevermind)

well dont think the intent was for protection...im sure you could put it on a case like the apple wallet case does.

 

[klasma]

It’s compatible with MagSafe cases.

 

[ZMacintosh]

Not sure what you’re asking, it looks like this:

Yes, mainly curious about charging passthrough.

Yeah, I realized after posting. Looking at the picture in #13, maybe not.

I got this one — https://www.esrgear.com/products/halolock-geo-wallet-stand/

I love the finger loop on it, when you add this much bulk — it's actually quite useful!

Thanks for posting that. I am looking for a good one.

Europe got its wish. Now we will replace billions of Lightning accessories over the next few years. Great for the environment.

Is that somehow related to this post?
