I have Peak Design’s version of this and it’s really nice to have the stand. I use it all the time: on the plane, next to my laptop when I use my phone for dialing into meetings, on the ground at the golf range when I need to film my swing, for group selfies (using my Apple Watch as a remote)
Hi Stan! I looked at online at the Peak Design version, and you are right…they look super similar. The ESR version is cheaper, though. Looks like you have been making great use of that stand functionality… love the golf swing idea!
Good to know! I've heard of them, but haven't had the pleasure of checking out their products. I'll have to take a closer look! Enjoy your weekend, Stan!
Very good review a lot of content. I actually got one I love it has great hold on the MagSafe cases except for the pitaka light case hold not great but no problem with the pitaka mag Ez one 👏😎🇮🇪
Great to hear, Mary! Wow, you have a lot of iPhone accessories! 😊 So, do you mean the Pitaka Air is the one without much hold? Because that one doesn’t have any magnets in it, so the only reason why it works at all with MagSafe accessories is due to its extreme thinness. But you are absolutely right on the Pitaka New MagEZ Case Pro-awesome magnetic hold with this wallet. Enjoy! And thanks again for being such a loyal viewer!
Hi Zachary! It does have to be at a small slant, so it will never be completely vertical...I guess it depends upon what your definition of 'almost' is. Because it is adjustable, however, it can be put at a more acute angle than most stands. Hope this helps!
Hi Chinh! I don't think so. The Apple Wallet genuine top grain leather is probably going to outperform this ESR Wallet Stand vegan leather over time. However, vegan leather is crueltry-free, which is awesome, and the ESR Wallet Stand is considerably cheaper than Apple's wallet. Hope this helps!
@@rossrobson91 exactly! That’s why I said I’d like to “see” how it would fit (if it is just a little bit off or a lot) because the measurements in the website made me think it could fit (just covering a little bit the ultrawide lens)
Hi Kurt! Can't really tell you...as a reviewer, I'm a terrible person to ask about long term usage because I never end up using things that long. As with most things, personal use habits are going to vary and some people are going to be rougher on their toys than others...
Hi Dean! My contact at ESR says that the Air Armor is slightly more drop protective than the ESR Hybrid, due to the special corner design. However, the Air Armor doesn’t come in a MagSafe version. Hope this helps! And check out the ESR HaloLock Kickstand case featured in the review I just published on ESR’s new Power Bank Wallet…it’s pretty great. Amazingly strong magnets: th-cam.com/video/Mzk07r-konM/w-d-xo.html
Here to give you an update. I finally purchased this wallet about 3 weeks ago. Although it has stronger magnet compared to other 3rd party magsafe wallets, it’s heavier and bulkier, and attaching this to my old Nomad leather case which has very weak magnet, it can still comes of easily. Since I accidentally destroyed my Nomad’s patina due to wrong treatment, I decided to buy a new clear case: ESR Classic Hybrid. Now, with both ESR HaloLock system combined (from the case and the wallet), it attaches unnaturally strong. 😂 Instant love! ESR’s HaloLock system is by far the strongest MagSafe accessories I have tried.
Hi Melissa! So, as long as the wallet isn't extended into stand mode, it won't block the camera on the 13 Pro. Can't speak to the 14 Pro, as I don't have it yet.
Hi @Barts, @Melissa--just tried it out with the 14 Pro in a couple of different cases (Mous Limitless 5.0 and ZEERA clear case), and unless you have it significantly pushed out in stand mode, there is no blockage. A smaller amount of stand extension won't block anything.
Glad it is working well for you despite the weight, Sheng Liu! I wonder if they could make it lighter if they used different materials? Maybe real leather and aluminum?

When you put two card together into a same spot will it cause demagnetized
Same spot for the two cards should be ok, as long as they fit...
Nice review. Can the stand hold the phone up almost vertical in portrait orientation?

How's about vegan leather? Is it durable as apple wallet leather?
Hi Chinh! I don't think so. The Apple Wallet genuine top grain leather is probably going to outperform this ESR Wallet Stand vegan leather over time. However, vegan leather is crueltry-free, which is awesome, and the ESR Wallet Stand is considerably cheaper than Apple's wallet. Hope this helps!
I got curious to see how this wallet would fit in the iphone mini (and if it is usable or not)
Hi Cassio! Sorry, unfortunately the HaloLock Wallet Stand is not compatible with the iPhone 12 or 13 mini...
Literally said it’s not compatible with the mini 🙈

Hello how is the condition of the wallet now? Heard some people experienced it falling apart after 5 months of use
Hi Kurt! Can't really tell you...as a reviewer, I'm a terrible person to ask about long term usage because I never end up using things that long. As with most things, personal use habits are going to vary and some people are going to be rougher on their toys than others...
How does it work with iphone 14 pro? Does it cover the camera lenses because the camera lenses are big?
Hi Yasir! It won't cover the camera lenses unless the wallet is extended into a stand. Thanks for watching, and have a great weekend!
Hi, may I know if the outer card can tap on nfc reader directly without take it out?
Hi Wayne! Good question for ESR...I'm sorry, I don't know the answer...
Hi! Is it compatible with iPhone 14 pro max?
Yes it is!
Any idea what the differences are between the ESR Hybrid case and the ESR Air case as they are both clear and they both have MagSafe?
Hi Dean! I don’t have any experience with the ESR Air case, so I don’t know. I can ask my contact at ESR, though…
@@TheTechReviewer Ahh ok - yep, that would be helpful, thank you. 🙏🏻☺️

Hello, is it compatible with 14 pro?
It will fit on the 14 Pro, but you may have some camera blockage if you are trying to use the camera when the stand is significantly extended…
Looks like the top of the wallet obstructs the bottom part of the main camera. Have you tested it?
Hi! Just did. 😊 As long as the stand isn't folded out, it doesn't block the camera when used on the 13 Pro.
@@TheTechReviewer thanks a lot!!
Happy to help :-)

Thanks so much for the update! And I have to agree...the ESR HaloLock cases have shockingly good magnets. Great combo! Glad you are enjoying them!
The HaloLock wallet looks like it might interfere with the rear camera on the smaller Pro model. I’m curious to know if anyone has tried it.
Hi Melissa! So, as long as the wallet isn't extended into stand mode, it won't block the camera on the 13 Pro. Can't speak to the 14 Pro, as I don't have it yet.

You should hide your card numbers
Appreciate the concern, @Freedom…the card numbers aren’t real, though. Just promo cards…
13 mini???
Sorry, Jacob. No iPhone mini compatibility :-(
@@TheTechReviewer This is incorrect. It works perfectly fine on my iphone 13 mini.
Hi @Zenoff64. According to the manufacturer, it is incompatible with the mini…glad you got it to work for you!
The design is very human.
Yes, it's really practical. Great for everyday usage.
it's too heavy
Hi Sheng Liu! It is definitely heavy. But it has a lot of functionality...
@@TheTechReviewerThat's true, the design is very smart, I currently use it as a regular cards holder.
Glad it is working well for you despite the weight, Sheng Liu! I wonder if they could make it lighter if they used different materials? Maybe real leather and aluminum?
