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.
@TrentPierce1014 ай бұрын
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.

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!

@@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 only see the carbon airtag moneyclip which you can buy seperate.

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.

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.

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.
@everydaycarry4 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.
@maheAT4 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.

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
