There are now many MagSafe Wallets available. Apple itself offered a leather model early on. Practical, yes, but not particularly exciting. Especially because the location tracking was only half-heartedly implemented. Nomad took a different approach and developed a wallet that not only holds cards but can also be found \u2013 with Apple "Find My." I've now used the Nomad Leather MagSafe Wallet in everyday life. Here's how it performs, what makes it better than others, and what you should look out for.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A MagSafe Wallet should be one thing above all: practical for everyday use. Insert cards, quickly remove them, and securely attach them to your iPhone \u2013 without wobbling or slipping. It should also be slim enough not to add bulk and high-quality enough to withstand daily use. Many models can basically do this. But when it comes to finding the wallet if lost, that's usually where it all ends. That's where things get interesting: when technology is installed in such a way that it's unnoticeable, yet there at the crucial moment. A wallet that not only holds, but also thinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Processing and design<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The wallet is made of vegetable-tanned Horween leather from the USA. This is a high-quality, robust leather that develops a patina over time. This not only looks good, but also makes the wallet more individual with use. The outer shell is made of leather, the core of a sturdy polycarbonate frame. The dimensions are 96 x 66 x 9 millimeters. The design is clean, minimalist, and makes a high-quality impression. The wallet is available in two colors: Rustic Brown and Black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magnetic hold and card organization<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to integrated MagSafe magnets, the wallet securely attaches to the back of your iPhone. It's easy to attach and remove. The hold is sturdy; in everyday use, I never had the feeling it would accidentally come loose. Inside, there's space for up to four standard credit cards. Metal cards take up more space, so the actual capacity also depends on the type of cards you use. I personally fit three cards: one metal card and two plastic credit cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This worked well. Removing the cards is well thought out. There's a thumb notch at the front that allows you to easily pull out the frontmost card. A slot at the back allows you to push the entire deck upwards. This also makes it easy to access the middle or back cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Integrated tracking with \u201cFind My\u201d<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The big difference from the Apple Wallet: The Nomad Leather MagSafe Wallet has its own Bluetooth tracker that pairs directly with the Apple "Find My" app. This allows you to locate the wallet at any time \u2013 even when it's no longer connected to your iPhone. Location tracking works via the Apple network. This means that as soon as the wallet is near any Apple device (iPhone, iPad, Mac), its location is updated. You can then display the last known location or play a sound when the wallet is nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
