The best Magsafe wallet
Find the best MagSafe wallet to keep your iPhone and your cards together in one place.
If you've got a MagSafe-compatible iPhone, the best MagSafe wallet will keep your cards and cash safely appended to the back of your phone with extra-powerful magnets.
Not only can they keep precious things safe, but some MagSafe wallets even serve dual purposes, acting as a stand or a grip for some of the larger iPhone models. We've considered these extra features as well as the design, security, and price of different MagSafe wallets to pull together the list below and help you choose the best one for you.
The MagSafe wallets below are all compatible with iPhone 12 and up (although watch out that a couple don't work with the iPhone 12/13 mini), and so will work if you're the proud owner of a new iPhone 15 or looking to buy one (in which case, keep an eye on our guide to the best iPhone 15 prices available now).
The best Magsafe wallets
Why you can trust Creative Bloq
Best overall
Colours: Umber, Dark Cherry, Golden Brown, Midnight, Sequoia Green, Wisteria, Ink, Orange
Materials: Leather
Apple's leather wallet comes at a typical Apple price and is a simple wallet made from tanned and finished French leather. It'll attach firmly with room for up to three cards. It's shielded to keep your cards safe (and not trigger contactless payments), but is otherwise straightforward, minimal and effective.
Best stand
Colours: Bamboo, Maple, Misty Cove, Victoria Blue, Willow-Flower
Materials: Vegan leather, fibreglass, metal sheets
This MOFT MagSafe wallet is 5mm thick, has room for three cards and features a clever fold design so you can use it as a grip or as a stand for your iPhone. You can also use it to stick your phone anywhere you want using MOFT's magnetic wall sticker pads.
Best PopSocket
Colours: All Smiles, Bandana, Black, Clear White, Floral Bohemian, Mermaid Pink
Materials: Polycarbonate
The PopWallet+ for MagSafe has an integrated – and swappable – PopGrip handle; but when gripped, the phone can fall out. The wallet holds up to three cards securely in a built-in elastic sock (be careful if you only put one in because it could slip out), and they're magnetically shielded for extra security.
Most versatile
Colours: Black, Brown
Materials: Vegan leather, metallic mesh lining
ESR's HaloLock wallet claims to feature magnets that are 20% stronger than those in Apple's wallet. It also packs three individual card slots, one of them with a clear window that's ideal for ID cards, with a metallic mesh lining providing degauss protection. It also works as an adjustable stand.
Luxury pick
Colours: Black, Monaco Blue, Tan
Materials: Leather, microfibre
This Ecco-tanned leather wallet is a cheaper alternative to Apple's, with room for three cards. The top is cut at a jaunty angle, and a small notch at the bottom makes it easier to fish cards out. Satin-like Japanese microfibre enables smooth card-removal, and a hidden spring inside the case keeps your cards secure.
most durable
Colours: Black
Materials: Silicone, TPU and hard polycarbonate
Unlike most other iPhone MagSafe wallets, this one only has room for two cards, but they'll be extra-secure thanks to the hard shell and silicone pads that prevent them from slipping out. The carbon fibre-like shell is attractive but it only comes in black.
best design
Colours: Avo Green, Black Sesame, Blueberry Navy, Burgundy Bean, Grape Purple
Materials: Faux leather, suede
This one also only has room for two cards, but its bold two-tone design is eye-catching, and it'll keep your cards protected with its built-in card-pressing mechanism and anti-scratch material on the inside. It won't bulk out your phone, and it's easy to get cards out thanks to its notches.
best organised
Colours: Black
Materials: Synthetic leather
OtterBox's Style Wallet features a second pocket so that you can organise your cards better and pull out the one you need instantly. There's only room for two cards, and there's only one colour option – black – but the magnets feel extra-powerful so you don't need to worry about it coming detached.
best hard shell
Colours: Black
Materials: Impact Polymer
Capable of holding three times the weight of your phone, if you want to stash more than a few cards this is your choice. It's lightweight but pretty bulky, and if you load it up too much, the magnet will become weaker. The ability to open/close the front is useful.
How we chose the best MagSafe wallets
To choose the best MagSafe wallets we looked at a range of factors. First of all we looked for the wallets with the most attractive and smart design. Other factors we looked at were extra features such as doubling up as a stand and ease of getting items out the wallet. We also looked at capacity, colour range and also overall bulk of the wallet.
To compile our list, we gathered the MagSafe wallets that we've used here at Creative Bloq, and used user reviews from across our network and the internet to fill in any gaps.
