The 10 Best MagSafe Wallets for Carrying Only the Essentials

The standard capacity for MagSafe wallets is three cards, enough for you to go out with an ID, debit, and credit card. Fine, really.

But what if you want to bring a few bills? And don’t want them loose in your pocket? That’s where Otterbox comes in. Of the big brands, this is the only one that makes a MagSafe wallet with a concealed pocket for cash. It’s a small improvement, but one that we really appreciate.

Native Union are really the name in good looking phone accessories, and that’s no different in the world of MagSafe wallets. The brand makes a classy-looking MagSafe wallet. That’s it!

It’s actually so simple, that the wallet gets our best overall award for the things it is not. It’s not bulky, there’s no large branding, and there’s no bright colors to choose from. It’s simple, slim, and made with quality leather.

The makers of one of our favorite RFID-blocking wallets actually makes a great MagSafe phone case and wallet combo. Bellroy’s Mod pack gives you a wallet that’s nearly identical to the leather and magnetic closure of its popular Flip Case. That means your cards are actually enclosed within the wallet, making this the most discreet option on the list.

The leather gives it a premium feel, and the matching case looks really nice. The only downside is that it ends up being a tad bulkier than other wallet-only options.

When you need a luxe leather accessory, you turn to Montblanc. It’s really that simple. The leather is nicer than anything on this list. The navy color looks phenomenal on any of the new iPhone Pros. And, it’s not going to fall apart after a few uses.

It’s expensive, but in our experience, it’s well-worth the price.

Hey, sometimes you want everyone to know exactly how you’re rocking. At this point, nothing is as unmistakably luxury as Bottega’s Intreccio weave. You know someone who owns, or wants to own, an Intreccio bag, wallet, or laptop case.

For a MagSafe wallet, Bottega has done the weave in a few colors in this silicon material. It looks good, screams luxury, and it’s easy to clean. No, it’s not sleek, but if you’re interested in it, you don’t care about flying under the radar.

The only thing better than an Hermès cardholder is an Hermès cardholder that sticks to your phone. This convenient MagSafe wallet is a timeless leather good, and you’d be giving your phone case a huge upgrade by sticking an Hermès accessory on it, too.

As with any iPhone accessory, the most obvious pick is Apple’s in-house model. Its MagSafe wallet is slim, discreet, and keeps that Apple branding. It’s pretty simple. It holds three cards, and it stays out of your way. Not much to complain about.

The only issue we have is Apple’s new FineWoven material. This wallet used to be made out of leather—you can still buy those leather versions for resale. FineWoven is part of Apple’s new sustainability push, but in its first iteration, it just feels a little cheap and the outer membrane tends to peel off easily. That said, if you’re only using this MagSafe wallet on certain occasions, the FineWoven material is good for that.

And as always, Pelican has some sort of solution for the outdoors people. The brand—known for it’s water-tight cases used by professional photographers, explorers, and DJs—collaborate on a MagSafe wallet with Case-Mate. The result is just a pelican case for the back of your phone.

Pelican’s famous polypropylene case and snap closure give this thing an IPX4 rating. It’s not as heavy duty as the brand’s submergible cases, but it’s as rugged a MagSafe wallet as you’ll find. It’s an easy option to bring along on a hiking, fishing, or camping trip.
