If you’ve ever fumbled with a bulky wallet or wished your iPhone wallet could do more than just hold a few cards, Ekster’s Cardholder Pro for MagSafe might just change your everyday carry for good.
Dubbed “a cash and card carrier fit for a spy” by CNET, Ekster has already built a name for itself as the go-to brand for stylish, functional, and smart wallets. But their latest innovation, the Cardholder Pro for MagSafe, takes things to a whole new level. This isn’t just a magnetic wallet for iPhone users. It’s a fully modular MagSafe ecosystem built for customization, versatility, and modern convenience.
A New Era of MagSafe Wallets
Traditional MagSafe wallets are simple — they magnetically snap to the back of your iPhone and hold a few cards. But if you’ve ever used one, you know the limitations: low capacity, weak magnets, and zero flexibility.
Ekster decided that wasn’t good enough. The new Cardholder Pro for MagSafe is the first dual-sided MagSafe card holder, meaning it attaches magnetically to your iPhone and to other Ekster accessories on the back side. You can use it as a slim wallet on your phone or detach it and build a standalone modular setup with add-ons like a Cash Clip, Coin Tray, Finder Card, or Cardholder Nano.
It’s not just a wallet — it’s a system.
Built Smarter, Sleeker, and 30% Smaller
Ekster has reengineered nearly every aspect of its flagship cardholder to make this version sleeker and smarter.
The new Cardholder Pro for MagSafe is just 7mm thick and 30% smaller than its predecessor, making it the perfect fit for any MagSafe-compatible iPhone. It’s crafted from 100% recycled 6061 aluminum, giving it a premium feel while staying eco-conscious — no plastic, no wasted space.
Despite its slim design, it still holds up to 7 cards, and with the Cardholder Nano add-on, that number jumps to 17 cards.
And if you’ve ever had issues with card mechanisms wearing out over time, Ekster has you covered. The company’s signature trigger mechanism, praised by WIRED as “the killer feature”, has been completely redesigned for smoother ejection and higher lift. It’s also removable and cleanable, so you can maintain it for years.
Why Dual-Sided MagSafe Is a Game-Changer
The biggest innovation here, and the reason this product stands out from every other MagSafe card holder, is its dual-sided magnetic design.
With magnets on both sides, the Cardholder Pro for MagSafe can securely attach to your phone while holding additional accessories on the other side. It’s a small change that unlocks huge possibilities:
- Snap on the Finder Card to turn it into a trackable wallet compatible with Apple Find My® and Google Find My Device®.
- Add the Cash Clip for a few folded bills when you’re traveling.
- Attach the Coin Tray if you prefer carrying coins or small essentials.
This dual-sided system creates what’s essentially a personalized carry setup, one that adapts to your daily needs. Whether you’re heading out for coffee or hopping on a flight, your wallet evolves with you.
MagSafe Add-Ons That Redefine Customization
Ekster’s MagSafe ecosystem now includes four new modular attachments, each designed to extend what your wallet can do.
1. Cardholder Nano for MagSafe
Their smallest cardholder yet, it’s both a minimalist standalone wallet and an expansion pack for your Cardholder Pro. Holds up to 10 cards, and like the main model, it’s RFID-blocking for security.
2. Finder Card for MagSafe
Meet your wallet’s new superpower: global tracking. The Finder Card syncs with Apple Find My® or Google Find My Device®, allowing you to see its location on a map or make it ring if it’s nearby. The rechargeable battery lasts up to 5 months per charge, and it charges wirelessly.
3. Cash Clip for MagSafe
Made from durable steel, the Cash Clip adds secure bill storage to your magnetic wallet — or can be used as a standalone iPhone attachment.
4. Coin Tray for MagSafe
Perfect for coins, small keys, or SIM cards. The Coin Tray snaps magnetically onto your setup and offers discreet, secure storage without adding bulk.
Each piece clicks in seamlessly, no tools, no fuss, just smart design.
Premium Quality Meets Smart Functionality
Beyond its magnetic magic, the Cardholder Pro for MagSafe stands out for what it doesn’t compromise on. It’s made entirely from recycled aluminum, with no plastic or unnecessary components. That makes it not only more sustainable but also tougher and more resistant to daily wear.
Plus, it includes RFID-blocking protection, preventing data skimming and keeping your personal info safe while you’re on the go. And because Ekster backs every product with a lifetime warranty, you know it’s built to last.
Ekster’s Reputation Speaks for Itself
Ekster isn’t new to innovation; it’s the brand that’s been redefining what a “wallet” can be since 2015.
As Forbes puts it, Ekster is “the most successful smart wallet brand in the world.” And reviewers across the board agree:
- WIRED calls it “pocket-sized perfection.”
- CNET praises its “elegant mechanics and lightweight materials.”
The Cardholder Pro for MagSafe continues that legacy by blending intelligent engineering with minimalist aesthetics. It’s proof that a wallet can be both beautiful and brilliantly functional.
Why It’s the Best MagSafe Card Holder of 2025
