Apple’s groundbreaking MagSafe technology is an iPhone feature you should put to use whenever you can — and since most of us can’t leave home without our phone and wallet, there’s no better way to take advantage of this technology than with the convenience of a MagSafe wallet. These handy wallets use innovative integrated magnets that make MagSafe possible, which has also brought us a new ecosystem of accessories, including chargers, wallets, and protective cases.
To determine which MagSafe wallet cases are worth putting on your phone, we tested products from leading makers like Apple, Casetify, OtterBox, and Spigen, to name a few.
A MagSafe wallet cannot fully replace your standard wallet — that’s the most important thing you should know before buying one. Most can accommodate two or three cards and a bill (or two). If you want to keep more cards alongside your iPhone, consider a wallet case with a bigger storage capacity.
Additional features like an integrated viewing stand are also worth keeping an eye out for, depending on your needs — as are the products’ design and build materials.
After months of testing MagSafe wallets, I found them ideal for storing my most commonly used cards, including an ID, a payment card, and an NYC MetroCard. Find the best one for your iPhone among these extensively scrutinized products.
This beautiful MagSafe leather wallet made by Apple, the developer of the proprietary magnetic feature, is the best worth your attention. Available in several colors, the accessory is crafted from high-quality leather, so it's the nicest to interact with. It also packs powerful magnets, ensuring that it's always securely attached to your iPhone.
Best of all — and unlike any other entry on this list — the leather wallet is compatible with Apple's Find My service, so you'll be able to track it if it's lost or stolen like an item with an AirTag. The product will also prompt your iPhone to notify you when detached.
The Peak Design mobile wallet is a stellar alternative to our top pick from Apple. The high-quality accessory lacks Find My compatibility but has a bigger capacity, extra card storage, and a longer lifetime warranty — which are tradeoffs that are well worth making. While testing it, the MagSafe gadget was also better in fully replacing my minimalist wallet.
Peak Design offers two distinct versions of the product — a slim and a stand wallet. The version with an integrated stand is worth the extra $10 because it can reliably hold the iPhone in portrait and landscape mode.
This MagSafe wallet by MOFT is the best for upgrading on the cheap. The sub-$30 product can not only store a few essential cards but also double as a versatile viewing stand with landscape, portrait, and floating modes. The latter impressed me while testing the wallet, allowing it to securely hold a big-screen iPhone 13 Pro Max despite its slim profile.
Casetify is well known for making infinitely customizable phone cases, so it’s no surprise that the accessory maker also offers a MagSafe wallet you can make your own. You can create an accessory to your preference by choosing from five wallet colors, then engraving it with up to nine symbols in two layouts and many colors and fonts.
The slim wallet is made from recycled plastic, so it’s eco-friendly too. The material has a premium leather-like finish — I felt like I was using a pricier wallet while testing the product.
Finally, we have good news if you are looking for different Casetify designs and patterns. There are tons of them.
The Spigen Valentinus magnetic cardholder has a minimalist design with an impressively slim profile that won’t add too much bulk to your iPhone and an impulse-buy price tag. We also like its dedicated mechanism to keep the cards in place.
Even though it has space for only a couple of essential cards, the accessory will allow you to access them conveniently from its top, bottom, and back. You can order the Spigen Valentinus cardholder in black or brown.
As its name suggests, the OtterBox Style Folio MagSafe wallet has a cover that will safeguard your iPhone’s screen. The product can attach to your iPhone with or without a MagSafe-compatible case and the accessory maker recommends that you opt to pair it with one of its own offerings. I can confirm that the folio was a perfect match for a Symmetry Series+ case — one of my go-tos for the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
The wallet has several slots, allowing it to keep your cards more organized than its rivals. It has a convenient magnetic latch and a lifetime warranty. OtterBox also offers a snap-on Style MagSafe wallet without a screen cover.
The Rugged Armor magnetic wallet by Spigen, like the brand’s phone cases from the same product family, has a utilitarian design with carbon fiber-like accents. In addition to reliable magnets, the accessory has integrated silicone pads to prevent it from detaching.
We only wish that the Rugged Armor wallet had more space than the bare-minimum setup of the Spigen Valentinus we mentioned. However, its design and affordable price make it a solid option for those who prefer to carry only the most essential cards.
