More Recommended MagSafe Wallets

I’ve explored various MagSafe wallets, but not every model is worthy of a top recommendation. Here’s a selection of others that perform satisfactorily but don’t quite reach the standards of our top choices above.
ESR Magnetic Wallet HaloLock With Find My for $38: Similar to Apple’s MagSafe wallet, this one includes Find My support. You can utilize the flap on the back as a grip and easily store two cards. However, it does require recharging, which can be a pain, but after six months, there was minimal battery drainage. Still, the need for a proprietary cable for recharging is a hassle, so be careful not to misplace it. And seriously, do you want to recharge your wallet?
Wallets to Avoid
Not every MagSafe wallet we assessed lives up to expectations—even if they possess some appealing features.
Ohsnap! Snap Grip Wallet for $80: I had high hopes for this product, mainly due to its impressive construction. The wallet, made of aluminum, can accommodate up to eight cards (depending on the type), supports MagSafe, and comes with a grip that doubles as a kickstand. Unfortunately, the grip is crafted from plastic and broke after a short period (it won’t fold back correctly). Additionally, the magnetic grip isn’t as robust as that of other MagSafe wallets, even when using a MagSafe-approved case on my phone. This is disappointing, especially given the steep price.
