Short answer
A good MagSafe card holder stays on in everyday use, as long as the phone or its case has MagSafe magnets. Most problems come from cases without magnets, too many cards, or pulling it off sideways by accident.
What decides how well it holds
A MagSafe card holder holds on with a ring of magnets that matches the ring inside the iPhone. If there is a case in between, the case decides most of the result.
A case with built-in MagSafe has its own magnet ring, so the holder snaps on firmly. A case without magnets adds distance and nothing to hold on to, so the holder can slide or drop off.
| Effect on the hold | |
|---|---|
| Case with built-in MagSafe | Firm hold, snaps into place |
| Bare iPhone | Firm hold |
| Case without magnets | Slides easily or falls off |
| Thick case | Weaker hold, even with magnets |
| Too many cards | Heavier, and easier to knock off |
Are your cards safe?
In normal use, yes. The one thing to avoid is charging with the holder on. Apple says not to put credit cards, security badges, passports or key fobs between your iPhone and a MagSafe charger, because it might damage their magnetic strips or RFID chips (Apple).
So take the holder off before you put the phone on a charger. It takes a second, and the holder goes right back on afterwards.
Our card holder also has RFID protection, which helps stop your cards being scanned without you knowing.
