I have the MagSafe version of this wallet and generally like it a lot. A couple of notes:
- the metallic credit cards slide out incredibly easy, especially if you don't have many cards in the wallet
- the angle is nice for setting on the table and viewing, but pointed too high / not good for taking photos or FaceTime unless you are hovering over the phone.
If you're willing to use AliExpress and wait about a month, these go for about $4 shipped to the US.
Curious if you've purchased one from AliExpress and if the material, size, quality is comparable? I picked up a Moft MagSafe wallet/stand and laptop stand on sale to try, but interested in using AliExpress for future purchases…

I found the moft magsafe version to be way too weak, so it slid off frequently which was probably the most annoying part. The materials were average but the stitching sucked and started to come out very shortly after first use. I also had it start splitting at the fold down.
If you just try to find an adhesive version like this one, well the ali ones aren't much different, especially if you buy the ones that have many orders.
It's honestly best used as a kickstand, but not as a way for you to keep the phone securely in your hand. The shape and edges are too abrupt for that. Plus the magnet is too weak to reliably hold up the phone if you accidentally let it drop down a bit. The adhesive version wont have the same problem, but it's just not comfortable for the hands. This is the same with the ali versions.
Oh and trying to use the magsafe one with a car magnetic dash or windshield mount is also a no go. Better off just taking it off to mount.
I ended up switching back to something like a generic adhesive loopi that has a wallet too. It's way more comfy for my hands and carries about 3-4 cards, and popping out the loop helps it stand up in landscape. The only problem is that the leather loop it has is thick enough to cause problems with car phone mounts.
