Update: One year later
One year update:This thing has held up pretty well considering how rough I am on things. It has had a very rough life, and is now starting to fall apart after one year. The layers are starting to separate and unstitch, but the material itself is still fine. It has been dunked in water numerous times, thousands of card removal and replacement, lots of use folded in kickstand, and many hours magnetically stuck to metal machinery. The magnets have collected a lot of metal dust I can't seem to remove, and I've stopped trying. Until it splits entirely I'll keep using it, but I'm not sure if I will buy another when that happens.Original review:This has been a great force in simplifying my life. I chose this over the Apple wallet because I knew I would need to carry more than two cards, and reviews at the time said that this wallet could. It can. Provided two of your cards are on the thinner side, it will fit them with ease. The only caveat to this is that it will not sit perfectly flat, but it doesn't really affect functionality. I've tried to take a picture of this.The magnets are pretty strong and folding the flap into the kickstand is a great feature. An additional feature that didn't occur to me until a few weeks in is that this thing can hold your phone to flat, vertical metal objects. Or at least an iPhone mini, YMMV with larger iPhones. When used like this it's rather easy to twist the phone of the wallet, leaving the wallet in place to throw the phone at later. Probably not recommended by the manufacturer for legal reasons...The material choice on this is solid. I'm not easy on my stuff and it has held up great. I work in a machine shop, so it does have a tendency to collect metal shavings which have to be blown off every now and then, but I would rather the shavings be on this than in the speaker ports of my phone.Without having used any other MagSafe wallets, I think I made the right choice starting with this one. I have felt no need at any point to explore other options.Edit: after reading some other reviews, I've noticed a handful of people that complain about the kickstand feature while not using it correctly. You are to roll the flap up into a triangle shape with both folds going the same direction with the top flap's outer surface facing inwards. It just works.

Not the best at anything, but a Jack of all Trades
This wallet is great, there is no doubt about that, but it is just short of amazing. This wallet is thin, rigid, quality feel, and comfortable to use; HOWEVER, comparing to my MOFT wallet, it is clear that it is lacking in the stand aspect. The Spigen wallet works similar to an Ipad folio where you fold it to make a stand, but you do have to keep in mind how you angle the stand because it can make the phone really wobbly. Compared to Moft's which is designated and more convenient in that factor. However, it outperforms moft wallets in durability, ease of card access and overall the quality. Additionally, the rubber/silicon-ish material makes it easier for me to use my phone one handed as well.With that being said, I decided to keep this wallet and return the moft wallet. Why? Because i dont mind taking 1 extra second to make sure the stand is angled right and i dont have to take the wallet off my phone to pull or put in a card whereas the moft wallet pops off the phone due to its card access design. Although the stand might be a tiny less stable than the moft, it really doesnt make a huge difference where I'd choose the moft over this wallet.Edit: Been using this wallet for over half a year now, and Ive been absolutely loving it. Additionally, the metal spigen logo fell off my wallet and customer service immediately helped me out and sent me a replacement! Definitely a worthy investment!!

Works good so far, looks great.
I ordered this along with the Spigen Mag Armor case. The wallet looks nice, the texturing on it is subtle enough that it doesn't stand out but is still very nice to look at and eye catching. It has a quality feel to it in my opinion and is pleasant enough to feel when I have it in my hand or on the back of my phone.It holds well enough to my phone with the Mag Armor case on. I fell like I would've like if the magnets were just a touch stronger, but I don't feel like this will fall off easily during normal use. There is just a little bit of side-to-side wiggle when it is in place on the back of my phone that I prefer were not present.The stand works great so far. At certain angles, the magnet connection does seem to be a bit weak, but nothing that has ever been an inconvenience for me. I have been using it daily in both portrait and landscape mode and never had any problems with the stand when it was actually in use holding my phone up.It holds 2 cards very snug and has a nice window for your finger on the back side that you can use to easily slide the second card up. In fact, you can slide the card out without even having to unfold the wallet, which is kind of nice on certain occasions.I normally prefer my phone to have a very, very slim profile and typically don't use phone wallets. But I wanted to make use of the Magsafe feature on my iPhone 12 and thought that the built in stand would be worth the extra thickness. So far, it has been fine for me. It is comfortable enough in my hand even with the wallet attached and doesn't look too overly bulky aesthetically. I really wish this had room for either 3 cards, or maybe just a bit more room for a few bills. I always like to have a bit of cash on hand in case of emergencies. With how tight the cards fit in this wallet, there just isn't room for anything besides the 2 cards (which for me are my license and my debit card, both of which are necessities). I understand this is the trade off for keeping this as slim as possible and don't really consider it a design flaw.So far the durability seems fine, but as I've seen some complaints in other reviews about the edges falling apart or the magnet not being strong enough I plan to update this review if I run in to those problems later down the road.I took a star off because a really wish the magnet was strong enough to keep it more aligned with my phone instead of allowing that slight bit of side wiggle. I don't know if there is some sort of limit on how strong the magnet can be before it affects the cards or anything, but other than that I have been happy with this wallet.
