12 MagSafe Wallets That Stay Attached, No Matter What

Apple originally sold a leather MagSafe wallet, but after some time the company decided to pivot to a more eco-friendly option. Enter the FineWoven Wallet, a MagSafe wallet that mimics the first design, but with a special microtwill material instead of leather.

Although the leather version was great, we love this new microtwill just as much. According to Apple, the FineWoven Wallet is made with 68 percent post-consumer recycled content. The material is soft, durable, and textured to make for easy grabbing and holding. The wallet comes in several different colors outside of black (Evergreen and Mulberry are especially good-looking). It also comes with Find My tech built in for tracking when it gets lost or misplaced.

As for storage, the FineWoven Wallet carries about two to three cards at a time, which is average. But, if you’re going the minimalist wallet route then you should be fine with the low card capactiy.

The FineWoven has three huge factors that make it our favorite MagSafe wallet to date: a stylish design, Find My tech, and a much cheaper price point than the previous leather MagSafe wallet from Apple.

This wallet from Peak Design can sit directly on the back of your iPhone, or it can attach to the back of its matching Everyday Case from the brand. However you choose to carry this incredibly smart wallet is up to you.

Peak Design used an eco-friendly, abrasion-resistant nylon fabric that’s gritty in texture (good for grip) and built to last. The wallet’s two-piece design does add a little bulk, but it makes it so the wallet can operate as a sturdy phone stand. At the top of the wallet is a tiny magnetic flap that holds up to a whopping seven cards in place.

The Mobile Wallet Stand is the same price as the Apple FineWoven Wallet. The main difference between the two is the Apple FineWoven is much thinner, while the Mobile Wallet Stand comes with a higher card capacity and a built-in stand.

A MagSafe wallet will probably not replace the wallet you’re using at the moment, but that doesn’t mean MagSafe wallets are irrelevant.

For days or for moments where you expect you’ll only need an ID and a couple of cards, a MagSafe wallet can prove to be the ultimate space saver. Maybe you’re going to the bar with friends for a night and want to limit the number of goods you’ll be carrying? Or perhaps you’re making a quick trip to the grocery store and don’t want to shove your big ol’ bifold in the front pocket of your sweatpants?

Does your career require working outside? A MagSafe wallet can be great for carrying on a job site too.

Whatever the use might be, a MagSafe wallet is the perfect sidekick wallet—or even a main wallet if you are truly about the minimalist wallet lifestyle.

Your MagSafe wallet might have all the coolest specs around but if it’s constantly slipping off the back of your phone when pulling it out of your pocket or setting it down, then it’s not going to be very fun to use. So remember, a MagSafe wallet is only as good as its magnetic connection.
