I think the concept of the wallet that can quickly snap on and off of the phone is pretty neat. I currently use a case that has a wallet functionality (for my driver's license and credit cards) and that doesn't allow me to use wireless charging without completely taking the case off.

True, the wallet and pop socket support is a great point.

  PopSocket has already confirmed they're working on something. This will be awesome for those of us who don't use wireless charging because of our popsockets.

I see some issues there: - Is keeping a magnet near my credit /public transport cards safe? Can't they be damaged by magnets? - all of those cards are contactless in my country. Will I have to take them out to use apple pay, to avoid approaching a bung of nfc cards ?

    “Card clash” As it’s known in London - when you have multiple rfid cards in your wallet And the reader picks up the wrong one.

    sorry, a bunch. Autocorrect is shitty sometimes when you've got several languages active at the same time.

      Ah ok. I thought this was an other-localization-English word I didn’t know!

  The wallet bit is shielded so the magnet won't affect them.

    What if you don't use the snap-on wallet. Will the magnet in this thing strip your cards in your normal wallet?

      Probably. But current phones seem to do that too. I suspect the magnet will make it a sure shot thing with the new iPhone though. With current phones you can often get away with keeping a hotel card in the same pocket as the phone.

    Until you attached wrong side of the wallet...

  For NFC, the NFC antenna on an iPhone is on the top rather than the back, so as long as you only have one NFC credit card in the wallet on the back and then presumably it will work based on if you tap the top or the back of the iPhone to the reader

I use a case that has that feature (Mous), and wireless charging works fine with the case on.

How will apple pay work when you have your credit cards snapped on the back?
