Spigen’s Tough Armor Pro (MagFit) magnetic wallet that folds into a phone stand is selling for $33 on Amazon, down from as much as $40, deal site 9to5Toys reported on Jan. 18. The accessory is designed to snap onto the back of a compatible phone or case and carry cards at the same time. (9to5Toys)
The timing underscores how quickly the magnet-on-the-back ecosystem has turned into a crowded accessory lane, not just a charging trick. Apple says MagSafe chargers and battery packs “snap” to supported iPhones and that magnets help align devices for faster wireless charging. (Apple Support)
That magnet-first approach is spreading beyond iPhones. Google’s Pixel 10 line introduced Pixelsnap, a Qi2.2-based magnetic accessory system that also works with many MagSafe add-ons, TechRadar reported last year. (TechRadar)
On Spigen’s own site, the Tough Armor Pro (MagFit) card holder is priced at $49.99 and pitched as a rugged wallet with an adjustable kickstand, a one-hand slide mechanism, and storage for up to five cards. Spigen also says it ships with an RFID-blocking card — RFID is the short-range radio tech used in contactless “tap-to-pay” cards. (Spigen Inc)
Apple sells its iPhone FineWoven Wallet with MagSafe for $59 and says it supports up to three cards and can work with Find My, Apple’s tracking feature, if it gets separated from a phone. (Apple)
Anker, another big accessory maker in the space, frames MagSafe gear broadly as magnetic add-ons that snap onto compatible iPhones, including wallets, stands and grips. (Anker)
The Amazon listing for Spigen’s wallet says it is compatible with iPhone 12 through iPhone 17 models, an iPhone Air model, and Pixel 9 and Pixel 10 devices when used with a magnetic-compatible case. The listing also warns the magnet “will not hold” with other models or non‑MagSafe and non‑Pixelsnap cases, and shows the item sold by Spigen Inc. (Amazon)
But the RFID angle may matter less than marketing suggests. “It’s just very theoretical fraud,” Frank McKenna, chief strategist at fraud detection firm Point Predictive, told AARP in a 2024 report on RFID-blocking wallets, which also cited Identity Theft Resource Center COO James E. Lee saying: “We do not believe this topic addresses a real risk.” (AARP)
The more immediate uncertainty is simpler: whether the magnet holds with a buyer’s case, and how bulky five cards feels on the back of a phone.
The $33 price is just one datapoint, but it shows where the competition is heading — magnetic wallets are no longer niche add-ons for iPhones, and accessory makers are positioning for both Apple and Google’s next-cycle phones.
