Introduction

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers gradually shifted away from physical currency and payment cards because of lockdowns, social distancing measures, and health concerns, leading to an increased dependence on QR code payments. However, cash and payment card transactions still hold a significant share in our daily lives, that's because the traditional bank card payment system is already well-established, and there remain certain apprehensions regarding the security of QR code payments.

Carrying a wallet while on the go is necessary for bank cards. Since the launch of Apple's iPhone 12 with MagSafe functionality, we've witnessed a new form of wallet - the MagSafe wallet. It not only serves the purpose of storing cards but also exudes a stylish appeal. Many MagSafe wallets utilize leather, offering a superior tactile feel compared to those without a case. The magnetic properties also prevent loss, with some even featuring stand functions, adaptable to various usage scenarios. Overall, the MagSafe wallet ranks high as an Everyday Carry (EDC) accessory.

This time, ChargerLAB brings forth a range of MagSafe wallets compatible not only with the iPhone 12-15 series but also with certain Android models when equipped with a case.

Apple

Apple iPhone FineWoven Wallet with MagSafe

This Apple MagSafe wallet, made from a durable Fine woven material, offers a softer touch while maintaining environmental friendliness. Available in five color variants including Mulberry, Evergreen, and Pacific Blue.

The wallet contains powerful magnets for effortless attachment to the iPhone's back, compatible with most MagSafe protective cases. Apart from its fashionable attributes, it boasts functionality by accommodating up to three cards and supports a Find My feature, notifying users of the wallet's last known location upon separation from the phone.

ESR

ESR MagSafe Wallet (HaloLock)

As the name implies, this wallet features a finger loop on the back, enhancing grip while on the move and folds flat when pocketing the phone. Available in black and brown, it employs eco-friendly leather material with a sleek oil-treated finish for a thin, comfortable, and anti-slip design.

Capable of holding up to three cards, easily accessible with a single push at the bottom of the wallet. Moreover, your magnetic-stripe cards stay protected from demagnetization thanks to the special lining.

ESR MagSafe Wallet Stand (HaloLock)

This variant, also utilizing eco-friendly leather with an oil-treated finish for a thin, comfortable, and anti-slip design, claims to provide a 70% stronger magnetic lock than the official magnetic wallet. Available in multiple colors including brown, black, and blue.

Similar to its predecessor, it accommodates three cards with an easy-access design. It doubles as a stand, allowing switching between horizontal, vertical orientations, and supporting a 15° to 160° adjustment.

MOFT

MOFT MagSafe Wallet Stand

This MOFT MagSafe wallet stand, crafted from MOVAS leather, offers increased durability and resistance to stains compared to genuine leather. With a thickness of only 0.5cm, it embeds a robust N52SH magnet, suitable for use with or without a MagSafe phone case.

Available in seven color options including gray, black, brown, and purple, it accommodates three cards, providing a sleek and minimalistic profile. It offers portrait, landscape, and a new floating mode, allowing for comfortable viewing of the phone screen.

PITAKA

PITAKA MagSafe Wallet

The PITAKA MagSafe wallet features a seamless design, offering a comfortable tactile experience. It incorporates the same Apple MagSafe magnet, ensuring compatibility with or without a magnetic case.

Capable of holding up to two cards, the card access slot is positioned differently from the previous models, located centrally for quick single-finger access. It also includes an internal anti-magnetic sheet, ensuring card protection against demagnetization.

Summary of ChargerLAB

Serving as alternatives to traditional wallets, MagSafe wallets offer not only enhanced portability but also a range of additional functionalities. While primarily designed for iPhones equipped with magnetic rings, they can also be compatible with most Android models by using magnetic cases or rings. With the growing adoption of the new Qi2 wireless charging standard, it's anticipated that numerous new smartphones will come equipped with magnetic functionalities.

Presently, the MagSafe wallets available in the market primarily fall into two categories. There are those like Apple's own MagSafe wallet and the PITAKA MagSafe wallet, offering card storage functionality exclusively. Then there are options like MOFT and ESR, which also integrate ring holders and stand functionalities.

Each of these five options possesses unique features. Apple's MagSafe wallet showcases special animations and a 'Find My' feature, setting it apart from third-party alternatives. PITAKA's MagSafe wallet boasts a sleek, seam-free design and a minimalist aesthetic. MOFT, on the other hand, offers a pleasing tactile feel and comes in a range of seven different colors, coupled with three-mode stand functionality.

Finally, the two offerings from ESR stand out - the ring-holder variant minimizes finger pressure during single-handed use, providing support for heavier phones, while the magnetic stand version offers versatile adjustments ranging from 15° to 160°, facilitating seamless switching between horizontal, vertical, and floating modes.
