Moft MagSafe Wallet Stand Stops You from Losing Your Phone and Cards

Posted on by

Leaving the house with just a phone and a slim MagSafe wallet is convenient until the jolt of realizing you have no idea where you left that combo. Most wallets and stands solve carry and comfort, but do nothing for the “where did I put it” problem. Moft’s trackable stand-wallet is a small tweak to that daily stack, adding a Find My brain without bulking up the back of your phone.

The Trackable Snap-on Phone Stand & Wallet is Moft’s thinnest design yet, just 0.25 inches thick and about the size of a credit card, managing to be a wallet, stand, and grip in one. It snaps onto a MagSafe-compatible iPhone, holds up to two cards, folds into three viewing modes, and quietly adds Apple Find My support so it shows up in the same app as your AirPods and trackers.

On a commute or a day at a café, the wallet is just there on the back of the phone. On the train, you flip it into portrait mode to read, at a desk you switch to landscape for a video, and during a call you use floating mode to prop the screen higher. Walking, the folded panel becomes a comfortable grip, making the phone feel more secure without adding a bulky case.

Realizing the phone-wallet stack is not where you thought it was means opening the Find My app to see its last location, triggering a 70dB alert to find it in a messy room, or relying on the Find My network if it is truly out in the world. The tracker runs for about six months on a wireless charge, and the app shows battery level, so it does not quietly die.

The magnets are tuned to around 15N of snap force, strong enough to trust when using it as a stand or grip. Because it is MagSafe-ready, you can snap a charger onto the back without dismantling your setup. The 0.25-inch profile and 62g weight mean it does not turn the phone into a brick, which matters if you are sliding it into a pocket or small bag.

The outer shell uses Moft’s MOVAS vegan leather with high stain resistance and color retention, handling coffee tables and travel without looking tired. Underneath are fiberglass, magnets, metal sheets, and a compact PCB. It comes in four colors that pair with Moft’s Snap Case line, so you can build a coordinated stack or mix tones for contrast without losing the clean geometry.

This is not a brand-new category. It’s a quiet upgrade to something many people already use. By folding a tracker into a stand-wallet that was already thin and useful, Moft makes the everyday phone-back accessory into a little piece of insurance. It does not ask you to carry more, just to expect a bit more from what you are already carrying every time you walk out the door.

Moft Invisible Phone Tripod hands-on at CES 2024: A phone tripod as thin as two credit cards

Posted on by

If there’s anything we’ve come to expect from Moft, it’s the ability to combine design and origami together to make some of the slimmest-yet-most-enduring stands for phones, tablets, and even laptops. Moft’s stands are so thin that they’re practically invisible… but fold them open and you’ve got something that’s so robust and functional it’s honestly surprising.

We came down to Moft’s stand at CES to check out their latest product – the Invisible Phone Stand. As ardent fans of the Moft Z (the world’s thinnest laptop stand) and the Moft X (a shape-shifting slim phone stand with a built-in wallet), we wanted to check out what else they were building, only to set eyes on the ‘Invisible Phone Tripod’ – a highly versatile and adjustable tripod that sits at a mere 0.27 inches thick when folded back into your phone.

Designer: Moft

Designed to be no thicker than two credit cards sandwiched together, the stand sits flat against the back of your phone. Open it up, however, and you’ve got yourself a perfectly stable tripod that can be angle-adjusted and even switched between landscape or portrait modes thanks to the inclusion of MagSafe. The secret lies entirely in a blend of origami-inspired design and some clever material choices and engineering to create a stand so seamless and so slim, it’s there when you need it, and invisible when you don’t.

One of the standout features of the MOFT tripod stand is its versatility, offering three distinct modes with adjustable angles. These include Floating Mode, which raises your phone to a height of 8 inches and offers various angles such as Video Call Angle, Showcase Angle, Theatre Angle, Browsing Angle, and Macro Photography Angle. Then there’s Stand Mode and Vlogging Mode, catering to different content creation and viewing needs.

The folding procedure takes just a few seconds

Despite its multifunctionality, the tripod stand boasts a compact design, measuring 3.82.50.27 inches and weighing just 2.9 oz. It’s crafted from MOVAS™ Vegan Leather, magnets, metal sheets, fiberglass, and PC, ensuring both durability and a premium feel​. The MOVAS™-E vegan leather used in the stand is designed to resist yellowing, boasting impressive UV and dirt resistance compared to regular leather. The material retains its vibrant color over time through a unique dyeing process, although it’s advised to avoid strong chemicals and to clean any stains immediately for optimal maintenance.

Its origami-inspired structure provides a stable triangular base, and it has been tested to support a weight of up to 17.6 oz, which is more than twice the weight of an iPhone 14 Pro Max. The hinge is made from manganese steel, which remains solid even after 5,000 open-close cycles, ensuring longevity. Paired with the MOVAS leather, the entire product is durable inside and out, and won’t show signs of ageing even with constant everyday use.

Priced at $39.99, this tripod stand is not only compatible with MagSafe for iPhone 12 and newer models but also offers universal compatibility for various phone models, including Android, through the inclusion of a MOFT Metal Ring. This ring is suitable for non-silicone cases made from PC, TPU, or aluminum, ensuring a wide range of devices can benefit from this accessory.
