My biggest annoyance with all types of wallets is when it This aluminum MagSafe card wallet takes a different approach with a side-mounted eject button that fans your cards up with a single press, so you can grab the one you need one-handed without pulling them all out.

The eject button is the best part
Hands down, the best part of this wallet is the eject button. The side button slides to fan your cards upward so you can grab whichever one you need without removing the wallet from your iPhone. This is the reason to buy this wallet over others as its the main unique thing. If you’re the type who keeps one card in a wallet and never needs to choose between them, a basic slot MagSafe wallet is probably fine. If you’re carrying two or three cards and want to pick the right one quickly at checkout, the ejector earns its keep.
The wallet is machined from lightweight aluminum with a scratch-resistant finish, and it comes in a bunch of different colors if you want it to match your iPhone or case. The wallet uses 32 built-in magnetic strips to snap onto a MagSafe compatible iPhone. I haven’t used it long enough to know how the finish holds up, but it feels solid.
The aluminum housing claims it blocks 13.56MHz RFID frequencies, so your contactless credit cards and ID are protected from electronic skimming in airports, etc. This is worth knowing upfront: this wallet holds up to 3 cards. That covers most everyday carry setups, but if you’re someone who needs four or five cards accessible, this isn’t the right fit. Three cards, one eject button, and a metal build is the whole point here. If this held 5 cards, it would honestly be perfect.
I wish it had Find My support, but it doesnt. If Find My matter to you, you’ll need to look elsewhere, but if you want a clean metal MagSafe wallet with a fast card ejector and solid MagSafe hold, this does this job well.
Wrap up
The eject button is what makes this MagSafe wallet worth buying. This one has a mechanism that actually speeds up the process of getting a card. The RDID blocking functionality is also pretty nice as well. The Metal housing is not something I’ve used in a wallet before, so it’s been a change, but overall I like it. Again, the downside is that it’s limited to 3 cards only.
You can buy it from Amazon.
