Thanks for the video and in depth review! I will be getting the new ESR. I have their old model which I’ve used for over 1 year and I have no complaints about. I’ve tried several brands and ESR is the one I liked the most.
3:07 does it really connect using maggots? Now THAT'S an engineering breakthrough to be sure! Really liked the video for real but that made me chuckle lol.
I have had the Peak Design for the last few months but am frustrated with poor magnet strength….have heard not nearly as strong as the pop-wallet. The ability to hold 3+ cards and a bill or two is critical…my barber only takes cash!!! Also sometimes the peak design’s flap magnet sometimes magnetizes behind and under the pocket but you learn to prevent it…if PD only made the magnet stronger it would be almost perfect. In my jeans pockets the MagSafe wallet is almost never attached to the back of my phone. In fact, sometimes I just give up and put it in a separate pocket so I only attach it to the phone here and there.
I'm waiting for a MagSafe commuter wallet, meaning a wallet with which you can put in your Transit card in order for you to get on public transit if it uses a card. My city does as well as other cities in Transit Systems in my province in Canada.
Sorry, I don't use transit here other than when in New York. What does it need to do? Why can't you put your transit card in the back of any of these wallets? None block signals so you could put a card and still use a contactless system to tap the phone (with the wallet attached) to use the card.
@@AppleInsider Well, I had the iPhone 8 and I had a commuter case, which had allowed me to put my transit card in a slot in the back of it. What it allowed me to do was put my phone against a card reader on a bus, subway or streetcar and it would beep. That obviously means that you have payed for your ride. So, if there was a similar MagSafe wallet which was designed for commuters, they could put their iPhone 12, 13 or 14 against a reader on a transit vehicle and they have payed for their ride. I had tried that with the Apple MagSafe wallet and it didn't work with my card, when I tried the same trick when entering a subway station. So, I had to take my card out of the wallet and put it against the reader... manually. Sorry for the long explanation, but you did ask. Keep up the great work with the channel.
@@BlindGordie Ok, so I understood correctly then. They are NFC-enabled cards like contactless payments. The Peak Design would 100% work as it is super thin fabric on the outside. Some of the others may have metal or other material that slightly blocks the signal but I'd guess the Peak Design would be fine.
It’s the pop wallet plus hands down. I’m a year in with it holding 7 cards. Great magnets always aligned and stays on. Did I mention it’s holding 7 CARDS. Yeah the rest of these are jokes compared.
I haven't. With MagSafe, I dont see as much use for them as I did in the past. There are some nice folio ones i wouldnd mind rounding up though if you think that woud be good?
OK I'm putting this out there how many people put down their phones and forget them. Well you just forgot all your credit cards and ID. That product is a hard pass for me I'm one of the ones that put down my phone and forgets it.
Hey Marie! I love this question. I've heard it before and here are my thoughts. First, if the argument is "well if I forget my phone, I just forgot all my cards too," then what about your wallet or phone by themselves? If you are likely to set your phone down and leave it, aren't you just as likely to set your wallet or purse and forget that? If you have two things to watch that is twice the number of things to keep track of. Putting your phone and wallet together means you have one less item to keep track of. Second, two of those wallets have support for Find My. If you ever did leave the wallet, you'd get alerted and have its location on the map. Can't do that with a plain wallet or purse (unless you add an extra Bluetooth tracker). Leaving your phone is *arguably* worse than leaving your wallet. You aren't responsible for any errant charges on a stolen credit card and if you use Apple Card you can immediately pause the card and get a replacement while you still use it digitally. Your phone you are immediately out almost a thousand dollars to replace, let alone if you had a current backup. If someone got your passcode, they could also get access to banking info, photos, apps, payments, and much more. A lot more damage that can be done than if you lose a single credit card that is easily replaced.
Um…Apples MagSafe Wallet holds 3 cards soo guess what it’s just what you need. Mine easily holds a titanium Apple Card, a stainless steel American Express card and my ID. Sure it was a tight fit at first but just like any tight hole it stretched out nicely and now they all slide in and out with ease. Also maybe check Apples product description of a product before you go misinforming people. 🙄

I am still a huge fan of the MOFT original folding waller. I love it because the folding side is made with metal so it works with a MagSafe car mount.

The popsocket MagSafe wallet is the best one
I have the ESR , but 1 model down, no Bluetooth and I love it
MagSafe was quite the unique invention. I like the charger although the wallets always seem precariously placed.
I’m looking forward to getting one of the ESR units.
Got the ESR one and is great. I fitted 3 cards and a 20 dollar bill comfortably. 👌🏽
I use the Spigen wallet but I really like the Pelican and ESR wallets.
I have the Peak Design wallet and I love it
3:07 does it really connect using maggots? Now THAT'S an engineering breakthrough to be sure!
Really liked the video for real but that made me chuckle lol.
No mention of Magbak wallet? How come?
I actually prefer the older style ESR MagSafe wallet. I’ll take card space over Find My tech any day of the week
cooped a Geo, thanks for the review. Love all your videos.

I wish you could actually get the ESR wallet. It is a kickstarter right now. Bummer
Should have got the original moft wallet to show off cuz that one is the best
its good my only complaint is the magnets
i will buy the moft stand!
Definitely gotta check it out!!
4:20 Why do you just keep pieces of paper in your wallet?
Peak design looks good but also most expensive. I think I will go with esr
i just ordered the esr wallet but now i’m afraid it’s gonna be too big for my phone 😭

@@AppleInsider Sounds good to me.
I backed the esr wallet on kickstarter... but now I'm starting to think it might not fit on all my cases with big camera bumps/cutouts
Does the esr work with a case?
Great review bro
It’s the pop wallet plus hands down. I’m a year in with it holding 7 cards. Great magnets always aligned and stays on. Did I mention it’s holding 7 CARDS. Yeah the rest of these are jokes compared.
If you are a man and you use a pop socket you should be embarrassed
Out of curiosity, Andrew, have you or anyone else at Apple Insider done a rundown on the best wallet cases for iPhone?
I haven't. With MagSafe, I dont see as much use for them as I did in the past. There are some nice folio ones i wouldnd mind rounding up though if you think that woud be good?
Samsung should make one that feeds off the reverse charging from time to time
The apple wallet is made to hold 3 cards, not only 2. I use 3 cards in mine every day
Apple wallet holds three cards easily not two. ???
MagBak has been doing magnet wallets years years before even Apple introduced MagSafe
Apples MagSafe Wallet can hold 3 cards with no issues.
i bet trhe cheap ESR has broken by now
ESR, Peak Design look really bulky.
Am I the only person in the world who carries more than 3 cards?
No love for Spigen? 🤣
you need to get yourself some good sleep mate.🤣
Calling something vegan leather is as nonsensical as calling something almond milk. Although fitting, the word vegan now just means fake
Only thing worse than a vegan is a white liberal.
So what would you call it?

I participated in the Kickstarter and I paid 27 Canadian because I had a $15 refund coupon
can't do pleather. don't care how trendy they try to make it sound.
All of them are bad... nobody can make a good one it seems.
