MagSafe accessories offer a blend of innovative designs and everyday frustrations, yet I find myself trying them all. I’ve tested a plethora of wallets, enough to fill a drawer, and while most get certain aspects right, they miss the mark in some areas. Recently, I’ve been exploring wallets that offer more than just storage for credit cards, which is what intrigued me about the BENKS ArmorGo Magnetic Wallet Stand—I’ve been using it for the last few weeks.

The stand is the highlight
BENKS has perfected the stand feature in this wallet. It flips out effortlessly and operates in both portrait and landscape orientations with ease. It also serves as the mechanism for pushing up your cards, which makes it a practical addition to a MagSafe Wallet.
Quick card access
Some wallets can be overly restrictive or require you to detach your phone just to retrieve a card. Fortunately, that isn’t an issue here. BENKS provides a generous cutout that facilitates easy insertion and removal of cards, courtesy of the stand design. Even with a single card, it feels secure—never loose or flimsy. I usually carry two cards along with my driver’s license, and I’ve never felt anxious about them falling out. Quick access to cards significantly enhances my satisfaction with a MagSafe wallet.
Robust magnets and a Kevlar finish
The MagSafe magnet is impressive. Once it snaps into place, it remains secure. I’ve tossed my iPhone onto sofas, slid it across tables, and lifted it with one hand by the wallet, and it has never detached. The Kevlar material also adds an element of grip that coordinates well with my current case, providing a solid feel in hand without being abrasive or overly rubbery.
RFID blocker for added security
This feature often slips my mind until I travel. I’ve used MagSafe wallets without RFID protection, and while I’ve never had data compromised, it’s reassuring to have. The BENK ArmorGo incorporates RFID shielding, alleviating one concern during travels in busy environments like airports or coffee shops.
Final thoughts on the ArmorGo Magnetic Wallet
The BENKS ArmorGo Magnetic Wallet hits multiple marks as an effective MagSafe wallet. It securely holds your driver’s license and credit cards, offers a kickstand for your phone, and enhances grip without adding significant bulk. The RFID protection is a clever added feature. If you’re still on the hunt for the perfect MagSafe wallet, this one is worth considering. The only downside is it lacks Find My support.
You can purchase it on Amazon.
