AppleiPhone FineWoven Wallet with MagSafe - Taupe

I originally purchased this for traveling and being able to find it more easily in my bags/luggage. Did not realize it has a tracker built in which is a really nice security feature. It's made really well, and stays put when attached. It holds about 3-4 cards depending on what type of card (thickness). Great little product!

Nice! This time I chose the FineWoven Wallet in Blackberry. I love the color. It looks sharp and it feels durable with a strong magnet. I had a woven in navy blue last time and it looked dingy early on. This time I sprayed it with Scotch Guard before use and that seems to have worked great. It’s been in and out of my pocket repeatedly over the last 2 weeks and still looks brand new. I’m very pleased with it, thank you!

10 month update - Lowering to one star. I like Apple products in general, but this is a dud. I take excellent care of stuff - and this thing looks beat to death, dirty and worn looking in less than a year. The old leather version held up for years. I have no idea what Apple is thinking by continuing to sell these. Sure, enjoy it while it's brand-new, and you'll be happy in your 15-day return window - but shortly after that, you're out of luck. Please, Apple, bring back the leather version - it was vastly superior.BTW, the real double whammy on this is that the 3rd party wallets out there that sell for $8-10 hold up much better - but they just don't stay in place as well (although it's pretty close).---------I hate that Apple went away from leather. The old Apple leather one I had last for years - and while it was dirty after a while, it took a while to get that point. For these woven ones, they just get really dirty, really fast, and it shows wear. I generally like Apple's products, but this is just a bad product, and why they didn't replace it at the launch of the iPhone 16 is ridiculous. Just bring back leather and get rid of these things.With that said, it's hard to go away from Apple's wallets because I have yet to find a 3rd party one that stays on as well and isn't bulky and fits as much while being this small. The magsafe side of this is excellent and I've never had it fall off unexpectedly - while also being very easy to remove. So I'll give it 2 stars for that.

This thing is genius. It is so easy to attach my wallet to my phone. And if it gets disconnected, my phone tells me when and where. It only fits a couple of cards, but that's all we really need anyway. I love the color too. The color hasn't faded, but has collected some dirt and has some wear and tear, but its still well built.

I have researched and shopped around for a MagSafe wallet for the iPhone 15 Pro Max for a while. Tested a few. The Apple MagSafe wallet is as good as they're getting (where MagSafe wallets are concerned), in my opinion.PRO's:- Utilizes the FindMy feature, if the wallet becomes detached from the phone. Making recovery easier than other contemporary MagSafe wallets.- Solid magnification of wallet to iPhone - IRRESPECTIVE of the case. I used a third party case, and the magnetization is still strong and holds - especially compared to other MagSafe third party wallets I tested.- Holds three cards.- Very soft texture on the FineWoven material. Tactile speaking - this feels like quality and luxurious. It's different from other contemporaneous textiles currently being used.CONS:- Overpriced. Though I got mine from Amazon at $45 (compared to Apple's price tag)- Poor ergonomics and design. The user still has to remove the MagSafe wallet, in order to retrieve the cards. Based on my last Apple MagSafe wallet in leather, this action will cause erosion and deterioration of the product. The Jury is still out on the duration of the FineWoven fabric compared to the leather.- Will the FineWoven last longer and withstand daily wear, tear, and stains?Three weeks into product: product rating moved from 4/5 to 5/5. Patina of the product has not declined. If you can get this product for under $60 - it’s worth it.Three months into the product: product rating dropped from 5/5 to 4/5. The fabric doesn’t stand to the rigours of daily wear. A shiny patina has developed on 50% of the entire surface. Magnet still strong. But the patina - where it was once velour and soft - looks brushed and shiny. Faded and loss of colouring.

I read a lot of hate with fine woven but hear me out. The grip of the wallet was 10/10, same goes with the fit and ease of attaching it to the back of your phone. Yes, it does not look that pretty over time but people forget that fine woven is cloth and the ease of cleaning cloth is also a 10/10. once it gets dirty just clean it with a soft brush and it looks brand new. the color haven't faded so far. It might not be leather but because of the durability and the ease to clean, it is definitely worth the money.

I think the FineWoven material has been described accurately — it’s feels like suede and I don’t think it will wear well. I didn’t find it to scratch that easily, but scratches do show quite prominently (especially with this color).I really wanted to like this, given the Find My compatibility, but the single reason I’m returning it is because of the magnet strength. The magnet just isn’t as strong as other options available (I like the Pop Socket MagSafe wallets a lot!). You wouldn’t need the Find My capability if the magnet was stronger! Also the Find My feature only tells you where the wallet was detached. It doesn’t track the wallet in real time like it does with other devices.Lastly, the cards cannot be removed from the wallet with ease. I was able to comfortably fit three “flat” cards (no raised numbers) in the wallet. However, in order to get any of them out, you need to detach the wallet and use the hole in the back to push them up. This would something I would’ve been willing to forgive, but in combination with the magnet strength, it was a shortcoming. It would be nice if there was a notch at the bottom that would let you push up the cards instead.
