ESR Geo Wallet Stand for $43: Apple’s Find My app lets you track your devices if they go missing, and ESR’s Geo Wallet is built into the wallet itself. This is the wallet I’ve been using for the past few weeks, and beyond the Find My capabilities, I love that it strikes a great balance between size and ease of use. The ESR says it can hold up to three cards, but I’ve been using mine with four cards — three plus my ID — and I can take them all out easily. Although having a wallet with magnetic charging pins is weird — Find My requires a three-month battery life — you can turn it off if you don’t care about it (but then, maybe just buy a different wallet). It’s annoying that you need a special charger to recharge your wallet. The magnet sticks well to the back of the phone, and you can open the wallet and use it as a kickstand. The ESR also includes a strap at the back that doubles as a phone handle.

OtterBox Symmetry Series Cactus Leather MagSafe Wallet, $45: It’s nice and simple, thin, lightweight, has a solid hold on my phone case, and offers a dedicated fabric-covered slot at the bottom to push cards out (I was able to fit three cards in without too much trouble). This OtterBox wallet is made of aloe vera-based leather, which feels as luxurious as real leather. Just know that aloe vera leather isn’t as eco-friendly as it’s designed to be — these cases are still filled with layers of plastic.

Spigen MagSafe Classic LS Wallet for $30: This great looking wallet incorporates design inspiration from classic Macintosh computers. The gray color may be a bit dull to the average eye, but any Apple enthusiast will likely enjoy the nod to the PCs of yesteryear. It’s pretty standard fare, with room for up to three cards. I love the thumb notch, which makes it easy to pop your cards out.

PopSockets Kick-Out PopWallet for $50: This MagSafe wallet has a built-in PopSockets handle and hinge so you can pop it out into kickstand mode. It’s simple and works as intended, and may come in handy if you want a wallet that can do it all. However, I had some trouble getting it to sit properly, and one time my phone went off on its own. For these reasons, I recommend it with some reservations, and I think it would be better if it were safer – especially since having three cards is a bit overkill.

Avoid these wallets

Osnap! SnapGrip Wallet: I had high hopes for this device, mainly due to its build quality. The wallet is made of aluminum, can hold up to eight cards (depending on whether they are monogrammed or not), has MagSafe support, and comes with a grip that can also be used as a kickstand. Unfortunately, the handle is made of plastic, and it broke after a short while (it won’t fold back properly into place). The magnetic hold isn’t as strong as other MagSafe wallets, even with a MagSafe certified case on my phone. None of this is great, especially at such a high price.

Benks 600D MagSafe Wallet with Stand: The Benks 600D MagSafe Wallet may be made of Kelvar, but it sure doesn’t look like it. The inner shell of the wallet is made of plastic, and after just one day of use, I noticed a crack in that plastic right next to the hinge. Worse still, I tried to apply a little pressure to see if the hinge would still hold, which completely distorted the MagSafe ring. Even without obvious durability issues, this wallet wouldn’t be at the top of my list. It’s reasonably priced at $30 and comes in a range of attractive colors, but it’s limited to just three cards, and there’s no easy way to get it out.

Apple Fine Woven MagSafe Case: Anytime the Wallet becomes disconnected from your iPhone, you’ll receive an alert and can track it in Apple’s Find My app. It has a single slot that can hold up to three cards, but to remove the cards, you have to remove them from your iPhone and push the cards up through the slot on the back. Unfortunately, Apple’s MagSafe wallets exclusively use the company’s FineWoven material (made from recycled materials). It’s a commendable effort to reduce reliance on leather production, but several WIRED reviewers said the material doesn’t hold up well after some time.
