- The ESR Geo Wallet is the world’s first MagSafe wallet with Apple Find My certification…and unlike Apple’s MagSafe Wallet, it remains trackable after detaching from your iPhone. It’s also got much stronger magnets than Apple’s Wallet and it comes with a sturdy adjustable stand that can be used in either portrait or landscape orientation. There is even a finger loop for additional security in the hand.

The Find My functionality of the Geo Wallet differs from the Apple MagSafe Wallet’s Find My because it is powered by Bluetooth, as opposed to NFC. When the Apple Wallet is detached from your iPhone, it will report the location where that happened. However, it will never update that information, so if it is subsequently moved after being detached, the Find My location won’t reflect that. Because the Geo Wallet uses Bluetooth, it can continue to report its location after being detached from the iPhone…a huge advantage if you are trying to find a lost or stolen wallet. The Bluetooth functionality means that charging is necessary periodically, but fortunately this is only required every 3 months or so, and ESR includes the necessary charging cable. Unfortunately, due to the fact that Apple does not allow third party products to use Ultra Wideband, the Geo Wallet will only be able to report the general area that it is in (for example, a house), as opposed to the greater specificity that UWB provides (such as the particular room and piece of furniture in that room where the item is located). The Geo Wallet does have the ability to play an alert sound, however, so that can definitely help you find it.
Capacity wise, the Geo Wallet features a 1 to 3 card capacity…the same as the Apple MagSafe Wallet. Like Apple’s Wallet, it is able to securely hold 1, 2 or 3 cards thanks to its internal spring mechanism. But unlike Apple’s Wallet, you can remove the cards from the Geo Wallet while it is still attached to your iPhone.
Downsides of the Geo Wallet are its size and weight. It is significantly larger and heavier than Apple’s MagSafe Wallet. It also needs to be charged 4 times per year…a step which is unnecessary with Apple’s MagSafe Wallet. However, the enhanced Find My functionality, high quality adjustable stand, excellent magnets and bonus finger loop may completely offset these factors for many people. Definitely a product to consider if you are in the market for an extra secure MagSafe Wallet.
The ESR Geo Wallet is currently available via Kickstarter. The early bird price is $31 … the regular price will be $39. Many thanks to ESR for sending me out this sample to review. Please check out the affiliate link below if you are interested in learning more about the Geo Wallet!

I’ve been watching lots of vids about ESR Geo wallet and your review convinced me to buy one. It’s good you tried it on both iPhone pro and iPhone Max. I really wanted to see the size on normal iPhone pro. Thank you so much amazing review.
Happy to help! Hope you love your new Geo Wallet!!
I’m going to have to try this out. Love your vids. Thank You.
Thanks, August! It’s a really innovative product!
That looks the business & another great review!
Thanks, Simon! It’s a very sleek and useful package. Love the modular aspect! Thanks for watching!!
Well done!! 👍
Thank you! 👍 So glad you enjoyed the review, and thanks so much for taking the time to let me know. ❤️
Good review as always
Thanks so much, Anurag! Are you in the market for a MagSafe Wallet?
Another great review and great content. I have the older one it’s good. This wallet is fantastic a lot of cards fitting in and the bluetooth is a great boost to the wallet and a good price as well nice one . Enjoy your weekend it’s a holiday here in Ireland St Patrick’s day ☘️ 😎🇮🇪👏
Hi Mary! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️
This is very similar in size to ESR’s MagSafe Stand Wallet…just slightly thicker. Same great magnets…even a bit stronger, I think. The card capacity of the Stand Wallet is a little larger…I think it can take 4 cards, as opposed to the three cards with this one, but of course it doesn’t have the Find My functionality. Great product. Enjoy your holiday weekend!!!
@@TheTechReviewer Thank you very much ☘️
I have never invested in something so fast i need this wallet! 😅
Hi Kelly! Nice to hear from you. It’s got a pretty cool feature set, for sure. Hope you love it!!
Thank you so much for this video. Definitely gonna get one.
Does the MagSafe work well with the Casetify case? Noticed you did a review on them as well as I was planning on getting their case & this wallet.
CASETIFY cases should work fine with this as far as I know. I don’t remember if I actually tested that combo out, however, and I’m away from home on vacation currently so I can’t check it out for you. So sorry!
Is the magnet as strong when using this on a naked iPhone as I’m really looking forward to using the finger loop with my case less iPhone.
Hi Dean! Not quite as strong. It's good...but if you are using a case with strong magnets, like an ESR HaloLock case or the RhinoShield SolidSuit with MagSafe, then the magnetic hold will be a bit better...
I have read on one of the reviews of ESR HaloLock wallet with regards to vegan leather is that after about 6 months of daily use it already have signs of wear and tear and didnt last long. Wish they just made it pure leather would've been almost perfect...
I can’t speak to any long term use data on the ESR HaloLock wallet specifically, but in general, I think that good quality leather is probably going to last longer than most vegan leather…at least from what I’ve seen. Perhaps ESR will broaden their wallet range to include a real leather option in future.
Isn’t the one without geo feature better as it can fit 4 cards?
I guess it depends upon which features are more important to you.😊
It’s too wide for only hold 3 card, it could fit at least 2 more in the inside
ESR says mine is in the mail as I watch this
Hope you love it, @Long!!
But Bluetooth only has like 10m of range? So if you drop it while away from home without realising then this feature is of no help anyway. I guess it’s just if you can’t find it at home?
No, it uses Apple’s Find My network. So if there are other Apple devices near the Geo Wallet, it will transmit its location via them, using its Bluetooth to connect to them, and then those other devices will be able to send the location data of the Wallet to the Find My network, where you can receive it. If your Geo Wallet is lost in Antarctica, with no other Apple devices in the vicinity, then you are out of luck, but otherwise, it should work fine.
@@TheTechReviewer oh great thanks for taking the time to reply ❤
Happy to help!!
I've just received mine from the Kickstarter campaign and whilst the actual looks and functionality look absolutely awesome, I feel that the whole wallet just makes the iPhone far too bulky (I'm using it on my iPhone 13 Pro) and heavy. Its a shame really as it really is a great product however I just can't see myself using it due to the increase in bulk (I will continue to use my Apple Wallet as the overall profile of wallet and phone is SO much thinner).
Hi Dean! I hear you…it definitely adds thickness and weight to the phone. It probably only makes sense if you are looking for an excellent stand as well as a wallet…and if you are nervous enough about losing your MagSafe wallet that you want the enhanced Find My functionality and increased MagSafe strength…
That's why I use a Pro Max. It's already so heavy and bulky, that you don't even notice this ESR wallet on the back. 😀
🤣 That’s certainly one way to look at it!!!
Great 👍 queen
Thanks, Ahsan! Really appreciate the loyal support ❤️

Hi Ahsan! Sorry, I don't use those platforms...
Too thick
Hi Rob! I hear you…but it does offer a lot of functionality in exchange for that thickness!
