Snapback’s MagSafe wallet for your iPhone 12 also comes with its dedicated AirTag slot

SnapBack Slim Air MagSafe Wallet for Apple iPhone with AirTag

Designed so you can track your wallet if it ever gets lost (or isn’t attached to your phone), Snapback’s Slim Air wallet is all about giving you the best Apple’s ecosystem has to offer.

It’s sort of baffling that Apple wants you to track your wallet with the AirTag, but doesn’t allow you to track your MagSafe wallet. Sure, the MagSafe wallet’s designed to sit on your iPhone most of the time, but then again, it’s also something you’ll find yourself removing ever so often… especially when you need to wirelessly charge your phone, or if you want to just swiftly use the wallet without taking your entire phone out. By virtue of its slimness, the MagSafe wallet is a convenient alternative to a bifold, but it isn’t trackable… Snapback changes that.

The Snapback Slim Air, which debuted on Kickstarter, comes made from Italian leather and is marginally wider than Apple’s own leather MagSafe card-holder/wallet. It’s large enough to hold 6 cards, a few folded bills, and the pocket on its front was designed specifically to slide an AirTag in, so you can locate the wallet when you’re in a hurry and you can’t find your stuff. It’s worth noting that the presence of an AirTag doesn’t make the wallet ‘anti-theft’ – the thief could easily pop out the cards and leave the wallet and AirTag behind – but it’s convenient if you’re the kind of person to use the wallet independently too (without snapping it to the back of your iPhone 12 every time). The Slim Air, as its name suggests, is a remarkably slick product that’s a perfect alternative to chunky bifolds. Its soft-shell leather design allows you to easily slide it into your pockets too, even without the iPhone.

What Snapback’s Slim Air does is integrate two of Apple’s services into a single product. It relies on MagSafe, a highlight feature of the iPhone 12, while also combining the AirTag into it. Whether you’re someone who enjoys having those two features clubbed together is entirely up to you, but for a small subset of people who just want a wallet they can track (and occasionally snap to the back of their smartphone), the Snapback Slim Air’s quite the pick. The Slim Air wallet comes made in USA, and is available in brown or black. It costs $55 (that’s about 4 bucks cheaper than Apple’s own MagSafe wallet), and you’ll need to buy the AirTag separately.

Bellroy released its own premium leather iPhone case + magnetic wallet to rival Apple’s MagSafe accessories

Posted on by

Bellroy Mod Case + Wallet for Apple iPhone 12 Pro

It comes with a beautiful eco-tanned leather exterior to match Apple’s own case + wallet, and even features two unique anti-slide grooves so the magnetic wallet doesn’t slip off when you put your iPhone in your pocket.

The Bellroy Mod Case gives your iPhone an aesthetic and functional makeover, cladding it in a grippy, non-slip leather robe that feels great to the touch, along with a snap-on card wallet that holds as many as 3 cards at a time. Designed to work with the MagSafe feature built into the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro, the case + wallet comes in 4 leather-tanned colors, with a flex polymer bumper around the edge of the case, and a microfiber-lined inner to protect your phone and cards from getting scratched or damaged.

The Mod Case goes beyond Apple’s leather cases with its eco-tanned, full-grain design. It highlights the leather’s wonderful grain, elevating the iPhone with its premium choice of material. The case supports Apple’s other MagSafe accessories including its wireless charger, and is purpose-built to snap on Bellroy’s Mod Wallet. Once snapped in place, the Mod Wallet doesn’t slide around (a problem that occurs with Apple’s own MagSafe accessories). Two anti-slide grooves hold the wallet module in place, allowing you to put your iPhone into your pocket or take it out knowing fully well that your cards are securely attached to your smartphone. The wallet has space for 3 cards in total, including one primary card on the front – accessible through a quick-access slot that lets you slide the card out with your thumb, and two additional cards that go into the wallet’s back, concealed from view.

The Mod Case + Wallet comes in 4 colors – Black, Cobalt, Toffee Brown, and a special Basalt grey with a HeiQ V-Block™ anti-microbial coating. The case and wallet duo cost $89 (that’s $29 less than Apple’s own accessories) and even come with Bellroy’s 3-year warranty.

This modular thin metal wallet will make your bifold feel ancient

Posted on by




The form and function of a wallet have evolved over time. Back when coins were the only form of currency, a pouch served the purpose of a wallet, letting you carry change and probably a few nuggets of gold on you. Banknotes forced the bifold wallet into existence, and payment cards helped it evolve and slim down. It’s 2021 and one could argue that the wallet needs to do and carry much more than it did a couple of decades ago. One could also say with all these functions, it wouldn’t be too bad if you could track your wallet too, right?

Meet Fantom R, a metal wallet that reinterprets how wallets should look and behave in the year 2021. It comes with a machined aluminum chassis that packs a world of function into an incredibly slim form. In its 9mm thick avatar, the Fantom R can hold 7 cards, banknotes, coins, or even 3 keys. It comes with built-in RFID blocking to protect you from digital theft, and an optional tracking device that prevents physical theft, and it makes your leather bifold look like it should belong in the museum.

The Fantom R wallet comes in 3 sizes (with a capacity ranging between 7, 10, and 13 cards), and you can build your own wallet to suit your exact needs. The first round of customization comes in the form of decorative plates that adorn the front and back of the wallet. You can choose between wooden plates, leather surfaces, or a chic carbon fiber panel to customize your wallet to your style (if you’re looking for something smoother, slicker, and sexier, Fantom even offers an all-metal Fantom S Wallet). To finish the aesthetic off, Fantom allows you to even customize your money clip, letting you choose from as many as 10 colors. Once you’ve given your Fantom R wallet its character, you can choose from 6 different modular upgrades that easily fit onto the wallet. The upgrades include a coin holder, an enclosed banknote holder (should you choose to not use the money clip), a key holder, a tracking device, an ID holder, or a silicone band. You can only install one module at a time, but that gives you the flexibility to pick and choose how your wallet functions. If carrying keys are a priority, the key-holder can contain as many as 3 keys that you can fold out and use when you need. If coins are a big necessity, that coin holder makes it easy to carry your change… and if you’re someone who tends to forget their wallet around, the tracker helps you locate your wallet using your phone.

The wallet’s thickness marginally changes based on how many cards it can accommodate. The 7-card Fantom R is about as slim as your smartphone, allowing it to easily slide into your pockets without creating that ‘wallet bulge’ that bifolds are notorious for. Each Fantom R sports a trigger mechanism that fans all your cards out, allowing you to easily access the one you need. You can arrange your cards based on priority too, making them even easier to access. Machined out of aluminum, the mechanism and even the wallet itself are designed to last far longer than any wallet you’ve owned. The aluminum chassis gives your wallet impact resistance, and the fan-out mechanism is strong enough to hold your cards in place even if you drop your wallet. Each wallet even comes with a limited lifetime warranty against any manufacturing or functional defects. The Fantom R wallet starts at $94 and modules and upgrades can be procured as add-ons. Now let’s just hope they debut a nifty MagSafe add-on soon, letting you snap your future-perfect wallet to the back of your iPhone!

This aluminum MagSafe wallet is harder, better, and stronger than Apple’s accessories

Posted on by



Yes, I’m sad about Daft Punk splitting up… how did you know? Okay, maybe that reference in the title sounded a little forced, but it does make a point… because Apple’s original MagSafe card-holder is frankly garbage. I’m talking about that flimsy piece of leather that holds roughly 2-3 cards and costs a shameful $59. It isn’t even RFID-proof, for crying out loud. In Apple’s defense, it doesn’t do accessories well. The charging cables barely last a year before breaking, its AirPower mat was a disaster, and let’s not forget the $700 Mac Pro wheels from 2019. Apple does, however, create the perfect opportunity for third-party companies to make some of the best accessories for their products… so when I saw the original leather MagSafe wallet on Apple’s website, I knew it was just a matter of time till an independent company made something harder, better, stronger, and well, more affordable too!

Meet the Fantom C, a MagSafe wallet designed to complement the Apple iPhone in durability and function. It comes machined from a Cerakoted billet of aluminum. The ceramic coating on the Aluminum makes it tougher and more abrasion-resistant, while a neat carbon-fiber finish on the surface of the wallet gives it a much more reliable and rugged appeal. Designed as a piece of EDC that pairs beautifully with your iPhone 12, the Fantom C gives you a dedicated space to store your cards right on the back of your phone. Magnets on its rear-side allow it to snap to the iPhone with a satisfying click, and at 0.31 inches (8 mm) thick, it’s marginally thicker than Apple’s own MagSafe wallet, but then again, the Fantom C is also capable of much more.

Right off the bat, the Fantom C can store more cards than the Apple MagSafe wallet. With space for as many as 5 cards, the Fantom C essentially allows you to shift your entire wallet onto the back of your phone, while cleverly-engineered internal details keep your cards safely inside the wallet, preventing them from ever accidentally falling out. The Fantom C features a unique profile on the front as well as the back, allowing you to easily fan out your cards with either your index finger or your thumb, so you can swiftly pick the card you want to use, and that aluminum construction gives the wallet RFID and NFC-blocking properties, keeping your cards safe from digital theft too! Oh, and at an early-bird price of $69, it’s just 10 bucks more than Apple’s wallet, but provides more features and functionality while being both durable as well as safe!

Fantom C – The Apple iPhone MagSafe Card Fanning Wallet

The Fantom C is a minimalist wallet that pairs perfectly with the MagSafe of an Apple iPhone. The Fantom C also works perfectly as a compact, slim stand-alone wallet.

Compact Design

To make it compatible with even the smallest iPhone 12 Mini, the footprint of the wallet is just a tad larger than a standard credit card, making the Fantom C the smallest Fantom Wallet ever. To enable this ultra compact design, they removed the fanning lever so that the cards are fanned manually.

Built to Last

The Fantom C is made from all-aluminum chassis with the tough Ceramic Coated finish.

Instant Access

Fan out your cards for easy access the Fantom way. Easily select the card of your choice.

One-handed Operation

With the Fantom C Wallet’s integrated quick-access card slot, easily grab your top card with your thumb in one swift motion.

Safe & Secure

Carefully engineered so that the cards will not fall out easily.

Strong Grip

Strong magnetic connection between the Fantom C and iPhone 12 for your peace of mind.

Light & Thin

At 0.31 in (8 mm) thick, you won’t even notice the Fantom C Wallet in your pocket.

RFID/NFC Protection

The aluminum chassis provides RFID signal protection to keep your personal information safe.

This ultra-thin Japanese wallet lasts at least a decade while staying slimmer than an iPhone 6!

Posted on by

Wallets in your pocket tend to bloat with time – the more stuff you put inside, the more they bulk up in size. This can lead to a bent posture while you sit with the wallet in the back pocket of your jeans, and it doesn’t look good at all, does it? Walking around with a bulky wallet spells long term health problems with the spine alignment going haywire. One more thing that virtually every wallet has to deal with is the fading of the fabric/leather with time, making it look unattractive. Most wallets have a trade-off to consider; either they go for a durable make that comes with thick material or sacrifice durability at the cost of thinness. Won’t it be great if you get the best of both worlds – thinness, and durability with the promise of a long-lasting wallet that ages well with time?

Meet the Tenuis 3 – a slim, durable, and Japanese minimal design wallet that is simple yet carries all of your essentials without bulging-up. It is no more thick (at 6mm) than your iPhone – accommodates 8 bills, 6 coins, and 4 business cards without crossing that thickness threshold. Even if you go beyond the normal capacity and fill Tenuis 3 with 20-30 coins, it will still be just 12mm thick, way better than an ordinary wallet that is fat with just the bare minimum stuff. The thinness is also attributed to the two parallel card slots that accommodate 6 cards in total while only adding to 3 card thickness as these slots don’t overlap. Even with 4 cards each (total 8 cards), the thickness is barely increased while other normal wallets make it way thicker with 8 cards in your possession. An ingenious flat zipper separates the coin keeping section to keep the thickness to the bare minimum. The choice of material for the innovative wallet is also judicious without compromising on durability. It’s made from goat leather and sailcloth canvas, giving it water-resistant and scratch-resistant aesthetics. This will make the Tenuis 3 (available in Navy, Gray, and Black colors) last for at least 10 years without any visible fading or damage to the material integrity.

Of course, a wallet needs to be functional, making clever use of the available space without adding to the bulk when the user puts stuff in it. For this, Tenuis 3 is designed to have an additional secret key pocket, coin storage with a separator to prevent bulking up, a secret card slot to store all your important cards and of course, fits horizontal bills too. This wallet can be carried around with ease that lets it stay in the pocket until you need to pull it out when you need it. In a way, Tenuis 3 gives you one less thing to worry about, or be irritated by every time you sit and wonder if there was a better way to store all your cash, cards, and important things like keys!

Tenuis 3 – The Slim Wallet That Stays Thin

The most funded wallet from Japan is here. The Tenuis 3 is a 6mm/0.23″ thin minimal wallet that can fit everything you need including up to 8 cards, and another for contactless use, a key, bills, and even coins.

Slim & Thin

Their goal was to retain its slimness even with everything you need inside. You can maintain the less-than-iPhone-6 slimness even with 4 of your essential cards, 6 coins, and 8 bills.

And if you have more to fit in your wallet – no worries. You can still maintain a 12mm (.5″) wallet. You can comfortably fit up to 20-30 coins with 4 cards and 8 bills, but it’ll also fit more if needed!

Durable

It’s not only thin, but also durable! Only possible thanks to the materials that make the wallet water-resistant and scratch-resistant: goat leather and sailcloth canvas.

Functional

Fits up to 8 cards!

And another for contactless-use, as well as a key. All of our card slots are sized to fit the cards just right.

The coin divider is another key aspect of keeping your wallet slim. They also use a special YKK zipper to get rid of any possible bulk and to keep everything within the wallet.

Benefits

Sitting with a bulky wallet in your back pocket means sitting in a distorted and uneven position – which may over time cause back pains.

Tenius 3 is thin enough that it will fit in any of your pockets.

Nomad’s iPhone 12 folio cases give you 360° protection and a card-holder without needing MagSafe

Posted on by

Adding a circular array of magnets around your phone just so you can snap a card-holder to the back of it seems like a lot of effort, doesn’t it? Especially when we’ve already had great card-holding cases from third-party companies all along. Nomad’s iPhone 12 folio case gives your phone all-round protection while giving you space to hold not one, but three different cards.

Crafted from exquisite Horween leather draped on a shock-absorbing polycarbonate body (with a TPE bumper around the edge), the Nomad folio case covers both the back as well as the front of your iPhone. The flap on the front auto-wakes your phone when you open it, and comes with 3 card slots and 1 cash slot, turning your smartphone into a wallet too! Besides, the Horween leather grows a wonderful patina with time, showing signs of aging and maturing while your phone stays pristine and new on the inside! Available in all of the iPhone 12’s sizes, from the Mini all the way to the Pro Max… Oh, and it’s Magsafe compatible too, so you can use the Magsafe wireless charger to juice your phone!

Apple’s iPhone 12 Studio lets you ‘try’ MagSafe accessory combos

Apple’s mobile accessory universe expanded considerably with the launch of the iPhone 12 line and MagSafe, and it’s accordingly ready to treat those add-ons more like fashion items. MacRumors notes that Apple has launched a (currently mobile-only) iP...

Mujjo’s latest iPhone 12 cases will protect your phone and give you a nifty wallet too!

Posted on by

As much as I love the new Apple iPhone 12 going back to Apple’s roots with the MagSafe feature, there’s a slight problem with the way they implement it. The MagSafe detail on the back of the iPhone allows you to connect it to a variety of modules like cases, wallets, and chargers by simply snapping them to the back of the device. While that sounds great (and it is), it relies on a stackable system… which means if you want a case with a wallet on the back of your iPhone, you need to buy a separate case, and a separate wallet module and stack them together using the magnetic system. Mujjo’s elegant solution just combines the two into a neat wallet-case that gives you both features in a single device.

Mujjo has been making wallet cases for the iPhone for years now, creating beautiful designs that rival Apple’s own cases. Mujjo’s leather cases use a 3D leather-molding technique to get their genuine top-grain leather to follow the curves of the iPhone, without any creases of folds. The cases even come with an inner microfiber lining to protect your phone from scuffs and scratches. With the iPhone 12, Mujjo brings that same quality to the latest era of Apple’s smartphones. The cases come made from the finest full-grain vegetable-tanned leather, and even integrate slots on the back to store your payment or ID cards along with your phone. Not only are these wallet-cases objects of sheer beauty, they cost half as much as buying a separate MagSafe case and MagSafe wallet just so you can snap them two together!
