There’s loads of varying third party MagSafe wallets on the market, many of which offer more features than Apple’s official wallet. Apple’s MagSafe wallet comes in at $49, and is exclusively available in the less-than-ideal FineWoven material.
MOFT’s Magnetic Wallet Stand comes in at half the price, is made of vegan leather, and has a number of unique features.

Hands-on with MOFT’s Magnetic Wallet Stand
First things first, this wallet features a stand, unlike many options on the market. This lets you to easily prop up your iPhone for watching videos, and allows you to easily stand it up next to you on a table. It comes in handy. Behind the kickstand, there’s a neat slot that allows you to fit up to 3 cards, at least in my experience. MOFT officially states that you can only fit 1-2, but I have two credit cards plus my drivers license in there with no issue. Three credit cards does get a bit tight, though.
MOFT offers the wallet in up to 24 colors, giving you a ton of options to choose from. It can be bought on Amazon for $25.49 in all colors at the time of writing.

9to5Toys’ Take
Out of all of the third party iPhone MagSafe wallets I’ve tested over the years, this has to be one of my favorites. The built in stand makes it very versatile, and it still keeps a very sleek profile. The fact that it can fit the three cards I’d need to carry without issue is also a cherry on top.
I’ve been using it for about a month, and the only negative thing I can say about it is this: I’ve already started to notice a little bit of creasing where you fold the wallet to become a stand. This isn’t necessarily a surprise, but it’s something worth mentioning. Otherwise, the wallet has held up remarkably well, which you can’t say for Apple’s FineWoven wallet after a month of use.
Overall, I’d highly recommend this wallet to anyone who was considering buying a MagSafe wallet of sorts. Obviously, there’s the limitation that you can only fit a small number of cards on the back of your iPhone while not being bulky, so that’ll stop a lot of people from purchasing a MagSafe wallet in the first place. However, if that isn’t a problem for you, this is a lovely purchase. It’s highly versatile.
I find great use in its ability to serve as a stand, whether that be for playing a YouTube video in the kitchen in floating mode, or just keeping my phone stood up at my desk in portrait mode. I think you would too.
