$175 for a magnet card holder is crazy. It'd be worth it if the wallet came with $100 already in it lol

Actually just got mine in the mail yesterday, I change cases a lot so I’m not interested in using the sticker plate, the website made it sound like iphone users wouldn’t need to use it. That is false, the magnets are so weak it falls off immediately when you pick it up. Disappointed and will be returning it. I was super excited for magsafe as I was waiting for that before I jumped on the Ridge train.

Can corroborate, the hold on this is absolutely terrible without the strengthening tray. That tray is required for what you would consider a normal MagSafe hold, without the tray the wallet doesn’t hold at all. I wouldn’t be comfortable with a charger holding on with that level of hold, let alone my actual wallet with my ID and cards in it. And I only have 4 cards in it, can’t believe Ridge thought this was okay to release as is, especially for over $120. Processing a return right now as well.

would love to have this on the back side since I don't run a money clip or cash strap. I'd hate to lose the clean look of the front with those huge magents, kind of an eye sore to look at. but i'm one of the only few who don't carry a cash strap or money clip, so it really doesn't make sense for make an option for this.

Quick question but is the carbon fiber on the airtag a sticker or does ridge sell the enclosure? All I see is the one that is exposed airtag strap.

@everydaycarry 2 ай бұрын

hey I think if you try to add it on from the MagSafe product pages it will be the default AirTag attachment, but if you browse the site there should be a dedicated product page for the AirTag case and the carbon fiber version is there as a color option. It isn’t a sticker!

@niek040 2 ай бұрын

@@everydaycarry I dont see this product anywhere on the ridge website. It seems that its not released yet OR it is only included if you order the magsafe wallet in combination with a airtag cash strap. I ordered the magsafe carbon wallet plates AND a airtag cashstrap because i had a ridge wallet already and they didnt send a carbon airtag cash strap nor can find it on the website. I only see the carbon airtag moneyclip which you can buy seperate.

I think I MagSafe as a whole isn’t that great. The magnets never seem to be strong enough for accessories like this. I went a different route and got the MagBak case and wallet and it’s great. I like that I can mount my phone with the wallet attached to my mount in my vehicle. Plus it’s much cheaper than Ridge’s option, I paid $80 total for the MagBak case and wallet.

@brittonstudios 2 ай бұрын

Oof… was excited by the thumbnail, but this looks like a first prototype of a product instead of the production version. Should have embedded the magnets inside the backplate. Then take one of your cases and make a cutout like the OpenCase to help get the MagSafe wallet even closer and more secure to the phone. The extra bulk from the protruding magnets and nesting tray killed all hope I had for this.

imho the magnets add too much bulk to the Ridge wallet. I've expected a thinner solution than this. I mean ... this is like sticking magnets on the Ridge wallet and that's it.

@everydaycarry 2 ай бұрын

Yeah it’s a tough design decision I think, because outer Ridge plates are so thin (not the internal chassis) that it’s hard to get magnets that are strong enough to be flush into the plate while also having modularity to the current Ridge design for existing customers.

@maheAT 2 ай бұрын

@@everydaycarry true that, but I think with a modification of the inner plates it could be possible without adding that much bulk. I bought my first Ridge wallet more than 10 years ago (I think in 2013), it's still part of my collection, the main reason I bought it was because I wanted (and still want) less bulk. So this solution is definitely not for me. Anyway, thank you for clearly showing how much thicker it is with added magnets.

I don't have a ridge, but figured they could make holes in the outside plate and have the magnets on the inside one? But sure let's add it on the outside, and charge 50 Aud bux for it.

@everydaycarry 2 ай бұрын

Yeah unfortunately I don’t have two of the same phone to record me doing the shake test with the phone in the case, but I will say unless you have the strengthening tray on, it will fail the strong lateral shake test because of how the magnet alignment works. Even then with the tray applied, enough force/shaking will dislodge the wallet. But I don’t think you want too strong of a connection either. Hope this clears things up

@edwardcook5560 2 ай бұрын

Nope. So ridge is a great wallet, but this fails in 3 areas for me. 1. Empty ridge is the same size as 2-3 cards, so add more and that’s one thick wallet stuck to your phone. 2. You need a “plate” extra on your phone, so more thickness. And 3. Ridge don’t sell the wallet plate separately for existing users. Nope, nope and nope again!

This is the worst product Ridge put out so far. If you pack 6 cards in the wallet without the plastic sticker holder, it slides off. It slides off in my pocket, and the magnetic hold is too weak for itself. Obviously a cash grab at this point.
