The Best MagSafe Wallets
Featured in this article
A MagSafe wallet can be a game changer. Apple’s MagSafe technology opens up so many possibilities in the smartphone accessory world, and even more so with the release of Qi2 Android devices. With the built-in magnets, you can attach your iPhone to wireless chargers, car mounts, grips, and even tripods by simply snapping it in place. But wallets may be the most useful MagSafe accessories of them all.
The best MagSafe wallets let you attach a sleek, compact, and slim wallet to your iPhone (or MagSafe-compatible case) instead of carrying a bulky, traditional wallet. It's great for anyone who travels light and only carries a few cards at a time. We've tested dozens, and these are the best.
Read our MagSafe guides for more, including the Best MagSafe Accessories, Best MagSafe Power Banks, Best MagSafe Wireless Chargers, Best MagSafe Grips, and Best iPhone 17 Cases.

What Is MagSafe?
MagSafe is Apple's magnetic technology built into the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, iPhone 15, iPhone 16, and iPhone 17 ranges (excluding the iPhone 16e). It's comprised of a ring of magnets on the back of the phone, and it was developed to create a faster, more precise wireless charging system. However, magnets on the back also allow you to connect it to different kinds of accessories like external batteries, car mounts, and wallets.
If you use a case on your iPhone, you will need to make sure you have a MagSafe case (the case itself will have a ring of magnets inside it). This will ensure a proper connection with MagSafe accessories. If you use a non-MagSafe case, the connection will be very weak, and MagSafe products may just slide off your iPhone. We have lots of case recommendations in our guides:

- Best iPhone 16 Cases
- Best iPhone 15 Cases
- Best iPhone 14 Cases
- Best iPhone 13 Cases
- Best iPhone 12 Cases
When buying a wallet, make sure it supports MagSafe or “Qi2” connections. It should indicate this prominently in the product description. Qi2 is the wireless charging standard, and all MagSafe iPhones support Qi2. Android phones now also support Qi2 and have magnets inside, like the Google Pixel 10 series.
MagSafe wallets come with the same ring of magnets that allow them to snap onto the back of the iPhone directly or onto a MagSafe or Qi2 case. This allows the wallet to maintain a strong and secure hold on your device. The wallets we've included in this guide all have the MagSafe seal of approval.

Do MagSafe Wallets Work With Android Phones?
To use a MagSafe wallet with an Android phone (or the iPhone 16e), you'll need to use a MagSafe case. Many case manufacturers began adding a ring of magnets in Android phone cases to port over the same magnetic experience iPhones natively enjoy. We have case guides for some top phone models with magnetic cases, and they'll work pretty well with third-party MagSage wallets.

- Best Samsung Galaxy S25 Series Cases
- Best Samsung Galaxy S24 Series Cases
We will likely see more Android smartphones with support for Qi2 in 2026. That's the next-gen wireless charging technology. Much of this new standard is modeled after Apple's MagSafe, which means the magnetic charging system will become more widespread. Google's Pixel 10 series devices are the first flagship phones to support Qi2, and expect to see it in nearly every high-end device in the next 12 to 18 months.
Will a MagSafe Wallet Demagnetize My Credit Card?
No, MagSafe will not demagnetize your credit cards. Credit cards have a strong magnetic stripe encoding that's enough to keep it from being demagnetized, and MagSafe wallets in this guide come with a built-in shield designed to keep your cards safe from this issue. However, you may run into issues with hotel key cards and some gift cards. Keep those away as a precaution.
How We Test MagSafe Wallets
I use a MagSafe wallet every day as my primary wallet. I check that it snaps onto the iPhone or MagSafe case firmly—and that it doesn't slide off when taking my phone out of my pocket, bag, or jacket. I also make sure the cards fit well into the sleeve and that they don't fall out. I only recommend wallets that feel durable, are easy to use, and can hold the standard amount of cards (two to three).
Other Good MagSafe Wallets
ESR Magnetic Wallet HaloLock With Find My for $40: Like Apple's MagSafe wallet, this one has Find My support. You can use the flap on the back as a grip and fit two cards easily. It does require recharging with a proprietary cable, which is annoying, though it didn't lose much battery life after six months. Too bad I've already lost the cable.
OtterBox Symmetry Series Cactus Leather MagSafe Wallet for $45: It's nice and simple, thin, lightweight, has a strong hold on my phone case, and offers a dedicated fabric-covered slot at the bottom to push the cards out (I was able to fit three without much trouble). This OtterBox wallet is made from cactus-based leather, which feels nearly as luxurious as real leather. Just know that cactus leather isn't as eco-friendly as it's made out to be—these cases are still infused with layers of plastics.
Apple FineWoven MagSafe Case for $50: Any time the wallet is separated from your iPhone, you'll get an alert and can track it in Apple's Find My app. It has a single slot that can fit up to three cards, but to take the cards out, you have to remove it from your iPhone and push the cards up via the slot on the back. Unfortunately, Apple's MagSafe wallets exclusively use the company's proprietary FineWoven material (made of recycled materials). It's a commendable effort to reduce reliance on leather production, but several WIRED reviewers have said the material doesn't hold up all that well after some time.
Bluebonnet Minimalist Full-Grain Leather MagSafe Wallet Card Holder for $68: Bluebonnet's wallet is thin, even with cards inside, and also comes with an elastic grip you can put your fingers through to hold the phone more securely. The magnets are stronger than those in other wallets I've tested, though the bottom moves a bit when using the grip. Bluebonnet claims it can fit up to three cards, but I've been able to fit only two (my license and debit card). It's a struggle to insert or remove more than that.
Avoid This Wallet
Ohsnap! Snap Grip Wallet for $100: I had high hopes for this one, mainly because of its build quality. The wallet is aluminum, can hold up to eight cards (depending on whether they're lettered or not), has MagSafe support, and comes with a grip that doubles as a kickstand. Unfortunately, the grip is made of plastic, and it broke after a short time (it won't fold properly back into place). The magnetic hold isn't as strong as other MagSafe wallets, even with a MagSafe-approved case on my phone. None of that is great, especially at this high price.
Benks 600D MagSafe Wallet with Stand for $33: The Benks 600D MagSafe wallet might be made with Kelvar, but it sure doesn’t feel like it. The inside shell of the wallet is made with plastic, and after just a day of use, I spotted a crack in that plastic right next to the hinge. Worse, I tried to apply a bit of pressure to see if the hinge would still hold up, which completely warped the MagSafe ring. Even without clear durability problems, this wallet wouldn’t make the top of the list. It’s reasonably priced at $30 and comes in a handful of attractive colors, but it’s limited to just three cards, and there’s no easy way to get them out.
