Apple’s MagSafe wallet is generally the default option for most people looking for a way to store an identification card, credit card, and more. While it’s Find My integration is great, that does mean its double the cost of a lot of the MagSafe wallets from other vendors. The Spigen Valentinus is a perfect example of a solid alternative to Apple’s wallet. At half the cost, it can hold three cards and works great on the back of your iPhone.

Why MagSafe wallets?
I look at MagSafe Wallets as a bridge to the future. Once we can pay with Apple Pay everywhere we go, and you can store your state-issued driver’s license/identification, you’ll only need to carry your iPhone with you when you leave home. While we’re inching closer to that future, until it’s 100%, I’ll still be taking my wallet with me.
Since getting on the MagSafe wallet train a few years back, it’s all I use now. It’s one less thing to deal with. Once I snap it on, I know that my wallet and iPhone are attached at the hip, and as long as I have one of them, I’ll have both of them.
Spigen Valentinus
- Dimension: 3.74 x 2.52 x 0.27 inches
- Weight: 0.99oz
Depending on your model, you can store two or three cards in the Spigen Valentinus. It’s made from sustainable Polyurethane Leather that has a little bit of a grip on it, and that grip makes it easy to pull your cards in and out. One key standout feature here is the multiple ways to pull a card in and out. You can push up from the bottom, the back, or pull from the top.
Overall, it works great, and I have no complaints. It’s extremely thin, holds multiple cards, and is easy to get the cards in and out. If you’re looking for a simple alternative to Apple’s MagSafe wallet and you’re okay giving up the Find My integration, the Spigen Valentinus can fill the job for nearly half the cost.
You can buy it from Amazon.
