- Yeah, I got one of those iPhone Leather Wallets, and here are the reason why.

There's a lot of hate or confusion over this wallet and I think much of it is unjustified. It does what it advertises to do very well and is innovative in its design.

5 Reviews on Amazon with a 2.5 star rating because all 5 reviews complain about the wallet being made from murdered animal skins. Oh people...😆
Oh my lol
I agree with them. Vegan leather could be use instead (as Tesla does for example). Time to end the speciesism once and for all.
I mean Isn’t Apple trying to save the Earth? A huge slap in the face to their own self
@@marc_1285 exactly. There's no reason for Apple to be still using real leather instead of vegan leather. Especially since Apple claims so hardly it's trying to be more environmentally friendly. Go figure...
Cows still get slaughtered for meat no reason to just discard the skin(leather)... just saying
The only review that gets the point of the wallet. It is meant to be removed from the phone. I've been carrying a wallet and a phone separate all these years and never lost anything, now there's a wallet that sticks to the phone so when you think about it, is actually safer than what we've been doing forever. My concern is that I tend to carry more than 3 cards but I'll give it a chance. Plus, the California Poppy goes great with my 12 pro max pacific blue.
How many cards do you REALLY need though? Can the other cards like the insurance cards and cash sit in another wallet in your car’s glove box? I’ve found that my debit cards are almost untouched and even when I do need them I can use my iPhone wallet app for the debit card to withdraw or deposit anything.
@@SuprUsrStan Well, I carry 3 credit cards (including an apple card) and I rotate them, that way I keep my credit usage low across the board instead loading everything into one credit card. My driver’s license plus concealed carry ID, that’s 5 of what for me is essential.
@@SuprUsrStan you need atleast one card for identification and one to pay and for me since i am student i need a public transport card so you don’t really need alot but this does leave cards like healthcare/school/work/other pay cards out
Yep. I’m looking forward to having a small wallet in my other pocket. Attaching it when it’s more convenient to have one item. Restaurant table comes to mind instead of having them in my pockets poking me. I just need my local apple store to get the black wallet in stock lol.
Just be aware that the colored leather products age in a much more nasty way than a brown or black one would, the saddle brown also goes amazingly with the pacific blue iPhone. Just something to consider, not that you regret having bought the California poppy in some month when it starts looking nasty (had the product red leather case for my 8 Plus and it got quite ugly in a few months time)
I appreciate your point of view. It’s nice to finally see someone finding the positive in it. 👍🏽 Definitely have me thinking of it differently now.
Finally someone who provides a real word opinion rather than click bait
I was looking for an actual review of the wallet thank you
Good advice on raised numbers. Never thought of that.
Great review and analysis. I agree that this isn’t designed to be an ‘attached’ wallet. The magnet is a slick bonus. 🐾
That colour combo is so nice
Great work dude. Backs up my exact thinking. Thanks
I bought one also, and I have to say that at the beginning I was like a don't know if i like it, but now a view weeks later a love the wallet and I never wanna miss it
Finally, someone with common sense! One should be conscious of their wallet and important belongings. It’s like any other wallet, but just has a little more benefit of attaching to your phone for easy carrying. When seeing it in store, I thought it was secure on the phone, whether in my hand, or in my pocket. So for me, there was no concern about it falling off.
This is a good review. I was a definite no, but now I am thinking about it from your point of view.
This is a great review. The first review (and I’ve watched a lot) that thinks of the wallet more as a stand alone wallet that somethinf that NEEDS to be stuck on the back of your phone all the time
I'm convinced. Great review
I really want one but I never bought one. I was scared of it falling of but I never thought of having it as an separate wallet that can clip on the phone. Great review!
Thank you for your review! I was on the fence on buying this wallet, but now I am sold from your perspective of using this wallet. I even have the same 2 cards as you LOL...I plan on getting the saddle brown color as well
It’s actually a great review and you should have more subscribers!
U absolutely right cuz my wallet is like yours so yea never thought about it this way. Preciate Ya 👌🏾
Great review thanks
It’s amazing how you were able to get almost 10 minutes of content out of that wallet good job
Good one glockboy
Great vid!! So many people giving the wallet a hard time about it falling off but that’s not been my experience at all!
Finally, a review that highlights the fact that the wallet is supposed to be frequently taken on and off, and doesn't sensationalize the wallet detaching from the phone when purposely clipping it against your pocket.
Thank you for the review of the MagSafe wallet! I ordered the wallet when it was available without much thoughts about it,...I just wanna have it 😉 Keep up the good videos!
Bought this brand new for $22 and it’s been great for handling my iPhones/storing 3 cards. It’s on my 15 Pro right now
I just got one in black with my iphone 13 love it
Nice review man, like your way of thinking. That’s pretty much what I would do too.
This was helpful. I have one on order.
Great review. I like how you sorta make us think how to use it i.e. stuck to phone or wallet in one pocket phone in the other.
I’ve just bought mine (blue) last night. Day 1 today. 3 cards a lil tight I have to say, but hope to break in the leather soon. Otherwise it’s liberating to (finally) walk around without my other Bellroy wallet in my pocket.
I was looking at the Moft too but wasn’t a fan abt how the cards would visibly stick out if we use it as a phone stand.
Leather is timeless!
I have it for a about a week now, no problem at all.. I also even found it’s a bit too tight with leather case.
I've got an XS Max and I ordered this wallet! In Covid times most shops in the UK won't even accept cash and most of my discount cards can now be used via apps. Been looking at RFID wallet to cut cash and bulk out my life but most of the ones I like are metal. I do have an iPhone 12 I'm deciding to keep or not (wife didn't like face id and I like the max screen size) but this wallet is safe to put into a pocket with a phone and I'm often carrying two phones now. I just think it's a good wallet! Magsafe is a bonus!
Fun fact - the wallet makes a dandy refrigerator magnet. Assuming you leave your house through the kitchen, easy to pop it on your phone as you’re leaving and put it back on the fridge as you arrive home.
Since I’ve gotten the wallet , I’ve been using it everyday since June 2021. I honestly love it.
Thank you for a very descriptive video that gives the wallet a second chance. I ordered the 12 Pro Max with the clear MagSafe case, and I’d just about ruled out buying a wallet with all the noise about it falling off the phone. But you’re right, you can’t treat it like it’s a part of the phone, you have to deliberately place it in a pocket or pocketbook, and if you do that it should fill it’s intended purpose. So, let me get back to the Apple Store site and get a wallet. Thank you!
Thanks for the review! I'm a Bellroy user myself.
Still waiting on mine to ship, along with my saddle brown leather case. This is perfect for me, and my minimalist taste.
great video!! what case do you have?
Yes! This is what I have been thinking as well! People have to think more practical about this type of stuff! I know for me, I don't want my cards always on the back of my phone(I think it looks tacky even with this wallet).
HOWEVER, I believe that this wallet is more ideal for separating into their own pockets and then coming together when you go out to eat(everyone usually lays their phone on the table) so your payment is ready and they're all in one place.
I appreciate your more practical approach than just "it doesn't stick to it strong enough, I'm going to lose my cards" review. 😂
When you turn the wallet sideways it makes a great handle for holding the phone easier for those with larger phones (or smaller hands), you can use it as a mini steady when shooting video, and it has enough grip you can use it as a stand for putting your phone at an angle on most surfaces. Add one of those magnetic metal plates where the cards are stored and suddenly you have a universal MagSafe adapter for those magnetic docks too! 🙃
this is me trying to find a reason to upgrade from my 11 pro
If you’re looking for reasons to upgrade, you want to upgrade. So just upgrade 😄
Lolol do it! I ended up pre ordering the iphone pro max yesterday and gonna just sell my 11 pro
If u don’t have better stuff to spend ur money on there’s no reason not to
just dont lol your phone will hold up for years to come :)
@@eman7066 no way. It’s time to upgrade. I’m getting my 12 pro max tomorrow
Subscribed.Good luck with your channel.
You make a good point everyone is missing and if they want a wallet case just get one. Nobody said this was supposed to be so strong it can’t come off and to expect that is ridiculous.
I’ve had the apple silicone case for a while now and i think it’s time for that naked look. Just picked up that same saddle brown wallet and it looks sick 😍 with the graphite iPhone Pro
I just subscribed because you are correct!
I’ve been waiting for someone to cover these points on UA-cam but they all seem to go straight towards hating it. It’s a minimalist wallet, its very well made, and it’s the trend right now! This is what i’ve been wanting as an apple accessory for the longest. Great video, great product.
Perfect way to describe this product, most likely how and why it was designed. Enough with the Apple hate
I want this wallet. I got a Bellroy also. The note sleeve. Great wallet but wanna change it up.
Great review, I’m Mexican and the reviews of the iPhone Wallet make me think of why at least in my country we must carry an ID because without an ID we can’t use any credit card, and in Mexico the only valid ID is one that is not our driver license, so, at least in my country we must carry at least one driver license and one ID... :/
This is perfect for future Minimalists I phone minis with snap on mini thin wallets it’s a futurist minimalistic minimalism. All seriousness I like the direction apple has been heading.
I was skeptical but wanted something to replace the folio I used with my old phone. I only carry my driver’s license and debit card in case a store does not have ApplePay. I’m pretty much a minimalist compared to other girls. My other cards stay in my purse that I seldom carry outside of my house. I got the wallet and I love ♥️ the functionality. The magnet holds tight on my phone (gold 12 pro max with saddle brown MagSafe leather case)... and the gold phone with “saddle on saddle” looks premium to me. The cards only come out when I deliberately remove them and I no longer have to deal with an annoying folio flap. It’s perfect for me. 🤷🏽♀️ Please note: I do not “wear” a wallet in my pocket so I can’t speak to that.
Great vid but what happened to the Apple leather folios? The magnetic wallet idea is ok but don’t see a need for it. The folio was a great design but don’t see this product for the new iPhone 12’s.
The wallet and iPhone 12 together kind of remind me of the feel of the original iPhone 3. Has that same kind of round “bar of soap” feel. I still have mixed feelings as there is a minimalist appeal to a thin slab phone, but really they’re quite comfortable to hold in your hand while you’re using the phone.
I like your perspective. It’s not supposed to be glued to your phone. Also, if you clip the edge putting it in your pocket obviously it’s going to come off.. ppl finding silly things to complain about
I think people missed the point in that the system is modular and/or they made assumptions having never used one. I've been using a wallet+phone case forever and I could see the benefit like when I go on a bike ride I can just keep the wallet in my car. Or when you get home you can just take the wallet off and toss it on the MagSafe charger. What excites me the most is the possibility of a MagSafe car mount, no more plugging in just throw it on the mount which would be not possible with my traditional wallet+phone case. Also most car mounts have clamp arms that extend out get in the way of usage while driving (I know I know).
This is the only positive youtube tech review of this accessory I've seen lol. Everyone is complaining about the wallet clipping their pocket and falling off or coming off in their pocket when they pull the phone out
He has to be positive because it’s him convincing himself that his purchase was justified even though he acknowledges that not much else has changed between this iPhone and the previous.
Can you set an alarm everytime the wallet disconnects from the case?
That is actually not a bad idea as it lets you know when you attach it. Not sure if just recognises something is attached or it knows its the wallet. I have had it for about 3 weeks and hasn't fallen off even once.
It does this already, if in silent mode the phone will vibrate, if not in silent mode the phone will both vibrate and provide audio feedback that it’s been removed
You smart . Imma get this no case on my Max , just so that I can replace my similar wallet and put the phone down hard and not cringe
Came for the apple wallet- now I want the slim wallet he switched from 😊
I am deciding, but I’m a little perplexed because like you I carry other important cards like medical cards, insurance card.. etc so, do you still carry the other cards in the other wallets and only have the MagSafe one for purchases? Thanks for your video and agree with your video.
I like you Stan . Nice video
With credit cards that have protruding numbers do the numbers indent on the side of the wallet? I have this problem with all of my other wallets if I stick cards with the older design on the bottom pocket.
I carry my two cards without a wallet so this would actually be an upgrade in the wallet dept for me.
i agree with your review overall. Nice perspective to think about with this wallet. It's apple so of course it a little overpriced, but its quality made. If you were already thinking about getting or enjoy using minimalist wallets this seems like a good option. My only wish was that it held a few more cards. 4-5 would be much better, at least for me personally.
Why would you wanna hold 5 cards? One of 2 is just find and the rest can go to Apple Pay digital wallet. The point of Apple wallet is to carry less things and pushing people to go digital more. The places that doesn’t accept Apple Pay I avoid them and that would be there lost of business
I will use this as a separate wallet with two cards and DL.
Exactly the same
I have bought and returned 4 of these lol I love them but I just don’t see myself using it everyday.
Plastic cards with the numbers protruding will actually end thicker then metal cards. Also they will likely mark your wallet if the numbers are facing the outside. Most banks are moving away from these thankfully.
Nice aproach!!! Suscribing now!
Can you use the tap option with the card in the case?
I feel like the connect gets better the longer it is used.
I agree. Same thoughts as I had, also I wonder if they could only make the magnets so strong because a lot of the time its a device you will be holding next to your brain ?
More likely to stop it interfering with the magnetic strips on most cards
VIdeo starts at 4:52 - prior to that he's telling us that the wallet does indeed, hold 3 cards, as Apple has stated
Just ordered one but it’s back ordered until the 6th of Jan 2021
I’m thinking about getting this but I have a pro max and I have heard the wallet doesn’t really sit well on the pro max I think it’s probably for the smaller 12’s. What’s your opinion?
So if it can detect when the wallet is attached, wouldn't it be good if it could make a sound or loud notification when the wallet detaches. I think I would then feel a bit more secure using it .
It does.
I love this review!! I was hesitant because I usually use Apple Pay/Wallet and never carry cards around besides my DL but now I’m really thinking about this because some places don’t take Apple Pay and a physical card would be handy!
Question though: would I be able to fold up dollar bills to put inside the wallet?
6:07 and 9:02 The best conclusion. So many reviewers try to make the wallet something its not. Then try to use that against it.
Good review, do you think i could jam 4 cards in and make it expand over time? I need to carry id, social security and drivers license, even though I always use apple pay, i like to take one debit card along just in case they don’t accept contactless somewhere
Why do you need driver's license and ID? Can't the driver's license double up?
@@i-vdg sadly it can’t. Both are needed.
I want them to implement airtags on these leather wallet then ill buy
You sold me bro!
I like your old wallet, whats the brand name?
In a week or so, we'll find all these wallets on the ground.
No you wont
@@RetrospectsToo It's only an exaggeration to make a point
@@RetrospectsToo These fall off your phone easily
I found one yesterday, was empty though, I swear it was empty already.
@@itsGuy At least you got a high-end fashionable accessory that screams, "Hey look, I got a magnetic, Apple wallet!"
My only concern is where i put cash
What if you go to or live in a place where coins and cashes still use often?
Can you tell me because I may not be to tech savvy for a 70-year-old but I’m getting a iPhone 12 Pro Max and a set of AirPod pros for it but if I wanted to get that wallet and my debit card doesn’t have a chip it has a strip on the back with that magnet pull the information off of my strip?? Just wondering if you have a time please answer back thank you
It’s *supposed* to be shielded, but it will be interesting to see if people have real-world difficulties.
ZERO dislikes!
With only two cards could you fit folded cash in it too?
They shouldve added apple tiles tracker into it if they are charging $60 to fit 3 cards
So the magnets won’t demagnetize the cards?
When it is detached from the phone there should be a warning tone.
Still trying to convince myself to get this considering I use Apple Pay for mostly everything..
So no concerns about cards demagnetizing?
I wish Bellroy made a compatible wallet with magsafe. 3 cards is too little a capacity for me.
I have the same wallet as you lol mine is black!!!!!
are these available for i Phone SE
Do you need the official apple silicone case to be able to attach the mag-wallet on?
That’s wat I wanna know
Does it work with non apple cases?
I’m still waiting for mine. Smh
So for someone who always carries his/her phone in his pocket the main advantage of the magnet is that the “wallet” stays in one place?
How did you even get one? I ordered from apple like 2 weeks ago and it said the shipping date would be late november. Apple is lying.
i feel like hes trying to convince himself that he made a good purchase lmaoooo
Lol he’s definitely doing this
Nothings better than the card ninja on Amazon. I never lose my cards had this shit for years and ordered a bunch for future uses... it’s literally the best material especially after broken in. I don’t see the mag safe beating it.
