      Haha this was a fun logic game, but you made some mistakes: the only thing he's saying is he does "not constantly" "sit down." So he could almost never be standing and his statements would still be logically sound.

    I have the MagSafe leather case as well as the wallet and I find that the wallet sticks to the leather case WAY better than it does to the bare glass back of the phone. You can actually hear an almost Velcro-like sound when you peel them apart.

    I think most people miss the point of a wallet case. It's not meant to be your one and only wallet. It is meant to give quick access to your most used cards. If I'm running to the store to pick up some bread, I don't need my full wallet with medical insurance card, Costco card, etc. I just need my phone, car key, and this super minimal wallet. As an added bonus, I can stick it to my phone so I have fewer loose things floating around in my pocket. I keep all my other cards in a Ridge Wallet that stays in my bag. Depending on where I'm going, I might leave the bag in the car or leave it at home. When I'm at home the wallet is in a bowl with my keys by the door; I have no need to carry it around in my house.
    The magnets are not super strong but I have never once had any concern about sliding the phone into my pocket and the wallet falling off. It takes zero effort for me to ensure that doesn't happen.
    If you're looking for a full replacement for your wallet, then you need to look for one of those folio phone cases with many card slots and a cash section. They exist and they work for many people but good luck getting that into your pocket. Those who go that route are most often going to keep it in a purse or bag.

    I've been using the California poppy coloured one for about a couple of months now and here's how I use it: When I step out of my house, I attach the wallet to my phone and they're always in my pocket. When I need to use either of my cards, I slide the wallet off the phone while in the pocket and when I'm done, I attach it back on the phone. I never take out my phone during a transaction. Oh and I love the wallet colour, especially on my Pacific Blue iPhone.

    Just got my Saddle Brown Magsafe Wallet! First impressions: smells nice, card comes out very easily, it is definitely better than a dedicated wallet but it is not meant to be attached at all times. A little bit difficult to put it back in place since it doesn't just snap into the back of the phone (the magnets don't really align well for this wallet) but a little bit of fidgeting and you'll get it right.
    Overall I think it's a good buy, esp for guys who usually don't carry around purses and has to put both the phone and the wallet separately during summer.

    The biggest problem is that you can’t access the cards without taking the Apple wallet off the phone. If the outside of the pocket was lower so that more card “real estate” was revealed, then you could get a fingernail under a card and and use your fingers to remove it without having to take the wallet off the phone.

    I initially thought I wasn't going to like the wallet but after a bit of use it's really opened my eyes. I love having my two most valuable things in one spot that I can keep safe at all times. Also I thought 3 cards wasn't enough but I actually rarely every need more than that. License, Debit card and I swap the third. Sometimes a gift card or a hotel key. Apple Wallet takes care of the rest. Also regarding the magnet, with the leather case I've never had a problem. Maybe the one I have is updated (just bought it) but the magnets are actually really strong. Never has the wallet even came close to falling off. Overall I love it even though at first I wasn't a fan.

  • @Matt_Baron

  • @justmy2pesos
    @justmy2pesos 3 роки тому +2

    Thanks for the review. I was undecided but after watching your review I bought it as well as the Apple iPhone leather cover. Both in black.
    Why?
    I was shopping for a thin leather card wallet. They are all around $40-$50 and they hold about three-four cards. So I bought the Apple.
    I am always leaving my wallet everywhere at home. If I must go out, my phone is always handy but my wallet is nowhere to be found. This way I will have both together and even if I remove the wallet in order to keep it in my pocket, when I return I will put them together again and I will not misplace my wallet. To me, that is quite convenient.
    Also, I tend to fill up my current wallet with many cards and other stuff I don’t even use. This is another advantage.

  • @batmatty93
    @batmatty93 3 роки тому +3

    I got the brown wallet and love it! I’m totally like you, I hate having stuff in my pockets when I’m seated somewhere. I love the MagSafe wallet because, for the most part, it hangs out in my day bag. Whenever I leave that bag behind, I grab it and pop it on the back of my phone. It gives me the best of both worlds: a wallet case when I need it and a thinner, lighter phone when I don’t. I also think the wallet case works waaaay better with the silicon/leather case attached then just on a bare iPhone.

  • @hummersd
    @hummersd 3 роки тому +4

    You don’t want the magnet to be too strong since you need to remove the wallet to get a card out. Even without the wallet, I don’t put my phone in my pocket as demonstrated-the most logical way is to hold your phone like you’re using it, then slip it in without any adjustment in your hand, which if you have a wallet attached, won’t come off because it’s protected by your hand. Why do reviewers jump to conclusions in initial reviews then realize later there’s a purpose to everything. Does Apple think of all use-cases? No (ex. Mouse with the charging lightning cable on the bottom), but do they think of most use cases? Yes. Are these videos created so they can create initial outrage, then create even more content to backtrack? 🧐

    I don’t understand. I have this. I wear REALLY tight pants. And I have not had it fall off. Once. At all. Like... I’ve even tried to get it to fall off when putting my phone in and out of my pocket. Hasn’t. Also... people saying you can’t get the cards out. Place your prominent card in the BACK of the wallet with the raised numbers facing the thumb hole in the wallet. I do that and use my nails on the numbers to pop the card out. NEVER an issue for me. I thought I’d hate this and it would fall off all the time. But it’s my favorite accessory for my phone I’ve ever had.

    I have the yellow leather case with the yellow wallet. I wanted to understand better how to use it because without taking it off the iPhone it is impossible to take out the cards. Then if you have only one metal card inside it usually end up in the pocket of the jeans when you try to take the phone out of the pocket. So one card is not enough
    What I really do not understand out of all this setup is the following: if you have apple pay and apple digital wallet why to use the physical one?

      It’s just for the clicks, almost everyone I know puts their phone screen out and if even if I’m sticking it in my back pocket facing in, I would grab it from the back as I was probably just using it as normal. In either case the wallet is under your fingers as you squeeze it into the pocket, and that’s probably how Apple expect people to use the wallet.

    4th card is key. also the wallet seems to work really well with 13mini, but it doesnt work so well with 13 regular size. it wobbles. when you go to grab the phone, the wallet almost falls off as you go to grab the phone. i think its the size of the magnet. they used the same sized magnet for both phones.
    he even mentions in the review '13 regular' needs to have stronger magnet. it is pretty strong for the 13 mini, just is weak on the regular, because magnet is small.
    They need to increase the size of the magnet in the 13 regular.

Maybe instead of hauling whole big wallet with me, I could just have id, driving license and credit card with me and ditch the big wallet. I don't have anything else in it... This might be an interesting option.
    You used it with caseless pro ?

    I bought it because I don’t want to have it attached to my phone when I am at home and don’t need my wallet on me. Same at work, I rarely need to have my wallet on me and prefer to keep it in my coat. If I do need it it adds little to no bulk and can stay on the phone. I have been enjoying this wallet since it arrived. I would agree that stronger magnets would definitely improve the experience, but I am very happy with the setup compared to a separate wallet.

    I ordered a black wallet to go with the leather case amazon sent me instead of the silicone one I ordered, I have low expectations but I was between getting a Ridge or something and it makes a bit more sense to not have additional edges inside my pocket so I’m giving it a try. I still think I’ll end up picking the silicone case regardless, I’m not a huge fan of how leather wears and I’m kind of a clean freak and I kinda worry about leather with heavy soap and/or alcohol usage.

      And yes, I also do the _”all the things out of the pocket”_ thing and with how I’ve scripted my life, I almost always have my phone in my hand and my pockets empty. Just the fact of picking up the wallet from the desk with the phone without touching it, clipping it or stuff it in my pockets seems to be good enough to earn the overpriced pricetag.

    That’s the wrong way to put it in your pocket! The phone sits in the palm of your hand. You use your hand to put it in your pocket. I've never had that happen. It's also meant to compliment the digital wallet. I keep my D.L., Military ID and the one physical credit card I use the most. Yes, the 13 Mini (or any 13) does indeed have a stronger magnet!

It just works. I use my Apple Watch to pay for everything on any EFTPOS device. Always works regardless of where I am.

    I’ve been using the MagSafe leather wallet for two whole months now. Before this I used a typical wallet with many cards, cash etc. I’ve always wanted to have a minimal wallet and the magsafe gave me an opportunity to try this. I agree with Macrumors in that I WISH it could fit just one more card. I am a military spouse and have to carry a DOD ID to get on post and my drivers license. That only leaves me with one credit card for buying things. So I’ve been making do with Apple Pay to pay with other cards if I need to and to be honest it’s been working. If I suspect I will need an additional credit card and I know I’m not going on the military base I will leave that ID at home and carry the extra credit card. However I do wish I could fit just one more card in this wallet. As far as the magnetic strength I don’t seem to have a problem! I think it’s strong enough to be honest with you. I’m using a Apple OEM clear case though and maybe the case is enhancing the magnetic strength

Driver’s License, CCW, Credit Card, Debit Card, and one extra slot for when I need a membership card to something. Also 3) I want a MagSafe AirPods case. That’s the only thing that I care about anymore in terms of MagSafe. Attach my AirPods to my phone please.

    So thanks for clarifying “how it works”. The best use I was planning for it was to use it at the subway to pay the train, just put the T card inside. It was like a obvious use for it but if that can’t work because you can’t take it constantly out of your pockets then... This is just literally a fancy wallet on you iPhone 12. Thankfully I bought a $14 one from Amazon.

    • @Jomitheelf
      @Jomitheelf 3 роки тому

      Try buying one of the used ones on amazon. I bought the cheap wallet first, because the apple wallets were out of stock. As soon as I got my apple wallet the difference was obvious. If you pair it with a MagSafe case, the wallet is almost impossible to knock off unintentionally. If you’re using the $14 wallet, you will not regret getting the apple wallet.

  • @jonk8600

    This was super cringe and felt like a forced defending of Apple. That would be an INCREDIBLY niche product if Apple intended it to be used that way. Especially for $50. The reality is that the original conclusion was correct, this was a rushed poorly thought-out product. Let's just call it how it is and hope the magnets are stronger in the next device.

    • @Catsincages

      Uncertain. Mag-safe was created entirely to sell accessories and cut costs by removing the charging brick so perhaps they will but then again with so many countries around the world forcing Apple to include the brick Mag-Safe will probably not stick around long.
