MagSafe + Get My Support


Apple’s FineWoven products have gotten a bad rap over the years. People have been incredibly critical of it ever since it replaced leather in Apple’s lineup. This is my first time using it after using the original Apple Find My Wallet many years ago, and I wanted to see how it held up to everyday use. This week, I’m looking at Apple’s FineWoven iPhone case with MagSafe.

FineWoven material

Let’s start with the story itself, as that has been a major talking point over the years. Despite the complaints you see online, the material is good in my opinion. It’s made from a slightly stiff twill and has a modern sleekness to it that I really like.

It holds up to three cards, just enough for essentials like a driver’s license, debit card, and credit card. I would prefer a smaller pack of 4 for less money, but if you only need three cards, it’s fine. It’s really easy to insert and remove cards as well.

Set up and Find my tracking

The setup process on the Apple FineWoven Wallet is exactly what you’d expect from Apple with its first-party accessories. When you snap it to the back of your iPhone, it automatically pairs and prompts you to mount it immediately. No battery is required to track it, which is a big plus. If you leave it behind in a restaurant or it is separated from your phone, you will receive a notification with its last known location. Overall, there are no complaints about how to use the tracking or setup. My only wish list was to let you know where it was compared to where you last moved it, but that might add to the cost.

Magnetic force in the Apple FineWoven Wallet

My only real problem with this bag is the magnetism. It can honestly be more powerful than what Apple has done. While I never had any issues with my phone falling during normal use, it doesn’t have the same grip strength as many of the third-party options we’re looking at here. A number of alternatives (such as the ESR Geo) have strong magnets that lock onto the wire for a more satisfying snap. Why Apple turned on the power is a strange decision. It defeats the purpose of MagSafe.

Dip into the Apple FineWoven Wallet

Overall, the Apple FineWoven Wallet is a solid choice if you value native Thola My integration and a sleek design. You just have to be prepared for a magnet that feels lighter than other options on the market. If you’re looking for a modern-looking wallet that just works without additional apps, it’s worth a look. I would like to see the Apple branch come out with different bag styles.

You can grab the Apple FineWoven Wallet on Amazon or directly from Apple.
