Ohsnap Snap Wallet! BEST in class!?
This Kickstarter project has finally arrived. It started as the MagSnap wallet, but during development was renamed the SnapWallet or Snap Wallet, all from Ohsnap, best known for their MagSafe and magnetic phone holders.
The SnapWallet is very minimal and thin, using very small and precise magnet placement created a modular stack system to mix and match the wallet components you want to carry.

This is so expensive that if u actually buy it you won’t have any money left to put into it 😢
Agreed
Not as expensive as the ridge wallet 🙄
@@dbean5174 actually if you buy two Card modules plus ID module thats like freaking $160..
@Such Is Life Ok
😂
This was so helpful, thank you!! Not only helpful but enjoyable and relaxing for me...don't totally know why, haha. So, now I'm here (as a person who has never really put thought into wallets) and have spent an hour so far on your pages today with no end in sight haha
I really like how the wallet looks with the ID holder attachment, a single card hold and the band attachment. Too bad the lever is a bit funky, if they had a better way to fan out the cards, I'd definitely get this one.
I am a big fan of Oh Snap. I can't say that this wallet option will be best for me, but I've been using their phone grips for years and love them. I love the ingenuity in their products and it really feels like they listen to their customers and make design updates based on that feedback. I hope this wallet succeeds and they come back even stronger next time. Another great review!
Do their phone grips mount to cars too?
@@ermal6157 yes they sell those too on their site
@@Anonymous-lg5jg any good?
@@ermal6157 I had to super glue the car mount to the dash bc it wouldn't stick for me but other than that I like it
@@Anonymous-lg5jg Uhh yea thats a huge turn off for me. Quality is dodoo if thats the case.
I’ve had the Oh Snap Wallet for about a week. My honest opinion. I like it as it works for me and my preferences. What I like is that I can customize it to how I want. I can attach it to the back of my phone or carry it at a slim stand alone wallet. Its well built but very thin. Definitely feels thinner than a Ridge Wallet. I can carry 5 flat cards, 4 flat cards and 1 with raised numbers or 3 cards with raised numbers. If I want to carry more than that, I can double stack the wallet and carry twice as much, but certainly would be too big and heavy to attach to the back of my phone. Room for improvement: for as thin as the actual wallet is, it’s a little heavy. I can really feel the weight when I have it attached to my iPhone 13 mini. The carbon fiber cover is nice out the box but I realize the gloss layer scratches easily and is a finger print magnet. I would prefer a matte finish instead of gloss on carbon fiber, but its not a deal breaker. I have the titanium cover as well it works just fine. I have the ID cover as well and attach it to my wallet when my wallet is not attached to my phone. I did not think I would like the ID cover as much as I do. I love how the wallet locks into the phone mount. Much more secure than other magsafe type wallets. What I think they could do better? The pricing. The ID card holder which holds one card is $35. One carbon fiber or titanium cover is $46. For just two titanium covers to cover the front and back of the wallet ($82) that’s almost the cost of a Ridge Titanium wallet. The Snapwallet Phone Mount ($9.99) stayed fastened to my cellphone case for about a week and came off. I used Gorilla Glue to re-attach it to the back of my cell phone case and its solid. Keeping it in perspective, the Oh Snap Wallet is cheaper than a Louis Vuitton cardholder wallet or other premium minimalist wallets. I love mine, but its not for everyone.
Agree
Why I went with a Ridge
How are the magnets when sticking to the phone? Is it pretty strong?
How’s it holding up now?
I love walletopia. These reviews are clear, informative and very specific.
Much appreciated!
I also got this wallet and so far I love it. The only thing I wish was some key holder module. The best overall king in my opinion is still the Aviator Wallet.
Aviator or Akeeni?
I've been thinking about getting a new wallet and thanks to you this might be my next purchase, once the backorders are sorted lol. Let's see how much P&P will cost to the UK.
Love the informative wallet vids thanks for taking the time to do them. I would like to know how durable the lever mechanism is since many reviews have mentioned it broke.
It does seem a bit fragile that if it caught on something or you pulled it back farther than to just extract cards it would break.
I have the bellroy apex slim sleeve and the rossm. I'm considering this and the bellroy flip case second edition. Maybe carry 7 cards and no bills, maybe a few business cards. Recommend?
I was a little iffy about buying this wallet until I saw this very well layed out review , Now I really want one 😂
I am using an Ekster Carbon Fiber card wallet right now and really like it. I used a 35% off and ordered a Card Wallet (carbon fiber) with a bundled 4 modules (including the knife) and an extra cash band model so I can mimic the function of my Ekster as closely as possible. Can’t wait to get mine next month and put it against my Ekster.
I've had 3 Ekster wallets, two of which are the carbon fiber. I recently moved to the Oh Snap wallet with 2 card modules, the ID card module, and the carbon fiber cover. My complaint about Ekster is the elastic band. That needs to be a standalone purchase. I shouldn't have to buy a new wallet to get a new band, as they lose elasticity in a pretty short amount of time. I really like the Oh Snap but it is pricey.
Love this wallet! My favorite by far!
Great info. Thank-You. Q: doesn’t the whole magnet thing DE- MAGNETIZE the credit/debit cards? .
Great review as always! I was wondering if that Lost Dutchman Mini Franklin review was still coming at some point? I'm trying to decide which one to get between the mini Franklin and the Benjamin Bott Double Wren.
Working on it!
Looking forward to that review. I have a Mini Franklin and it’s impossibly tiny. You almost have to see it to believe it.
Great little wallet
@@tony_bologna that's awesome! Is there any cause for concern that a card in the quick access slot will fall out? I'm thinking I'm going to go with the Mini Franklin just cause it's less than half the price of the Double Wren.
Thank you for putting a video out! No one has had one yet, and I've been checking KZhead every day
very expensive wallet, thank you for making this video, I can enjoy seeing the feature of this wallet without owning one.
hey love the videos, could you do a review on the new premium wallets from secrid with the new metal button and mechanism?
Link?
You guys should check out the Japanese leather Wallet from mill handmade, id love to hear your thoughts on that one
What’s weird is when you watch the ad they put out on it, @2:14, they show person opening from left top and the cards come out with the most forward card being the lowest.
Totally agreed with the score! Keep these great videos going!
Will it attach to an iPhone 13 and are there reports of the Ohsnap wallet demagnetizing cards?
Is the outside of the wallet magnetic?
I like the idea but instead of a side loader it should've been a top loader like the Ekster wallets, that would eliminate the issue with gripping the wallet will trying to get the cards out. Only other issue with the pricing.. they want $30 for a cash plate? No bueno.
I am a backer waiting a second time for mine to arrive as the first card module was effectivly broke when it came to me.... first time around was a 6 month wait from original launch date.
Would you consider selling your magsafe attachment?
Great video. How do I order this wallet? Are they still in business?
Wait how is it 36/50? (Great review btw! Enjoyed it!)
How does it compare to the ridge wallet (size wise) it looks similar in size but with two card stacks it looks thicker? Honestly ridge was slightly too thick for me. Also can you use the card module without cover plates?
Slightly larger due to the mechanics of the extractor arm, and the metal is much thinner. You can use just the card module alone just fine.
man after having my cards get messed up due to magnets. i will never have magnets in my wallet again
Great review Mark. Cool wallet. But expensive.
Where can I find the Snapwallet Phone Mount mentioned in this video?
Does the magnet miss up the strip on the back of the credit card?
I've had the wallet since December 5th and today the plastic lever broke on me... My cards stuck out barely enough for me to pry them out, about 1/4 inch and it was pretty difficult to remove them. I wanted to like it but this did not even last me 2 weeks. Hoping Ohsnap will reimburse me as I bought a cover plate and an ID module...
I'm hearing this more and more. The trigger does seem a bit fragile and due to the mechanics, prone to snapping off or bending
Would you consider selling your magsafe attachment?
How strong is the hold for MagSafe? Most MagSafe wallets just slide off.
One thing ive always been curious about for these types of wallets, that always make me worried to buy them. What happens if you just put one or two cards in them? Do they stay in? Do they raddle? Does the lever still fan out the cards?
good question! i have the snap wallet and tried it with 1 card and it doesn’t rattle or slip out. i also tried it with 2 and no rattling or slipping. and they do still fan out
Fans out the cards very well
I’ve been been using a simple one pocket leather card wallet and carbon fiber money clip for years. Neither is showing any wear yet. Both together take minimal pocket space. I can carry over 20 bills, folded in half, in the money clip, or as few as two securely. Very easy to find the card I want in the card case without removing any other cards too. My point being, K.I.S.S. Simple and inexpensive is sometimes the best.
Wont the magnets kill the cards?
I wanna buy but sadly it’s not available in my country
I had this wallet for one week and brought 2 card mods One broke today and the other is defective. Currently awaiting for replacements
Any updates?
@@ermal6157 They had reached out and replaced one of the mods. The other one isn't defective it just needed some "breaking in"
@@jordanpoorkhodakaram6892 How many cards do you put in there?
@@ermal6157 Five cards It had a broken in phase of about a week
I'm surprised you didn't mention the COUNTLESS number of people on their Kickstarter who say their levers snapped off and their bands have torn in half. OhSnap has been accused of shoddy quality control and terrible customer service on all of their products and the MagSnap Wallet is no exception.
Based on communication I was in the first tranche to receive it and then did my review, so that’s why I missed those comments coming in. But yes, the lever is fiddly and doesn’t surprise me.
And it cost that much but it breaks pshhh unreal I’m going to go with the folio mini
It looks like a very expensive gimmick, Mark! You gave it 3 for usability, yet you have to hold it in a very particular way so as not to squeeze the very thin sides against the cards! The fact you have to get used to holding it in a special way means it's not that easy to use. The cost is absolutely prohibitive, I believe. Oh dear, the first wallet I actually dislike in the entire history of Walletopia! But hey, the review was spot on as always, perhaps a little too kind.
The id mod needs to be able to hold 2-3 cards and it wouldn't be that much thicker..
Diggin’ your Omega Speedy! Nice wallet; unfortunately just way too expensive and seems a bit tedious to use. I assume if I drop that at pocket height it’ll all come apart once it hits the concrete?
I've got two of the card mods so I tested it, after 5 drops nothing fell out, but on the 6th, it hit the corner just right and the cards spilled, but the mod stayed together.
@@walletopia good to know. Appreciate you testing that out!
Does it work with MagSafe ? :o
First thanks 🙏 for the videos!!!
Does it de-magnetize your cards, like Pitaka?
No, the magnets are placed perfectly and the way the wallet functions, no cards come in contact with the wallet. The magnets are also very small. You'd have to purposely rub you card around on it to maybe have an affect
I keep things like screw gun tips in my pocket while I'm working, all the metal things in my pocket stick to this wallet? Also what about keys in my pocket?
The magnets all face inward so I wouldn't expect them to stick.
How do the magnets work? I thought aluminum isn’t magnetic.
Correct on the aluminum, they place the magnets into the wallet (not relying on magnetism), polar opposite to each other in the wallet.
Doez it magnetize other cards....like the pitaka does?
No, thank goodness. Where the magnets are placed are away from direct contact with the magnets which are very small.
@@walletopia thank u 😊
what about RFID?
NICE speedy!
You should of used the other card module and put two card modules together...
If they ever make an AirTag module, I’m in.
Is it hard to take out the middle cards??
Yes, although it does fan them out. It's easier than a sandwich wallet like a Ridge, but takes skill.
The best place for wallets there all ranked too
It does not have an apple airtag attachment… I’ll stick with my current setup…
To bad a slim tile won't fit
Do these work with magsafe? Can I attach to my phone?
No its a scam, there is 2 option, buy a magsafe case from which cost 70 and no support for iphone 14, they stop at 13 or buy a magsnap plate mod (no longer offer on their website), even if they do, the magsnap plate mod is an adhesive which will ruin my current case, so big no, i suggest u read users comment on their kickstarter page, i just ordered this shit without researching, and regretted it already, return it as soon as they arrive
Overpriced and middle cards seem very hard to get
You should do drop test on these... especially for the magnetized ones. See if cards fall out and or if they would seperate.
They need an adhesive version for phones
Wow and I was only able to get a ridge bcuz of 50% discount… hope this gets the same
Nice speedy.
U can't compare this with tapikka for thinness, the unit u got holds 10 cards but the topikka holds 6
What's the wallet? Tapikka, Topikka Tapioca?
Not for me still using my popov 5 card leather wallet still smells great
Can’t go wrong with most of Popov’s line of wallets. Some people complain because they don’t burnish every edge, but I love the rustic look.
@@tony_bologna ya they don't but I just did it myself
Expensive, and the mechanism for extracting the cards is inconvenient...
Hmmm not comparing it to Mod Wallet 2.0 is disenguous?
It was a review, not comparison, but doing a true comparison between the three would be interesting, I'll add it to the schedule.
@@walletopia Thanks for the reply. I think comparing all of the modular wallets would be a really cool video.
Interesting. You had the Indian 500 Rs. Note there. 😊
I’ll stick to my Gil-Tek RAW V2 thanks. Titanium and no magnets!
I can't believe I've overlooked that wallet, I just picked it up for a review.
Should of been a top loader and rather not have my ID exposed. I guess you can turn it around but still should have a cover plate.
Hey. You have used Indian 500 rupees note 🎉
Not a fan of aluminum, I love Ss feel and durability and weight
There is no way to buy the wallet in Germany, no international shipping possible in ohsnap shop, only Canada or USA. Something like that is not promoted if you want to make a sentence
Becoming a minimalist fanatic has reduced me to watching wallet reviews but you’re an entertaining soul nonetheless, sir. Flattery aside, this wallet seems very, very, VERY gimmicky for what it’s trying to be an do. Magnets in the wallet itself will damage cards as modern card technologies use magnets themselves. The segments sound like they may be made of a cheap material, the lever mechanism looks like it could break easy, and something tells me that this “Lego wallet” would break into pieces if I, a six foot guy, dropped it on the hard tile ground of my workplace. Another concern is that each “segment” has it’s own lever mechanism, meaning they will all fan the 3-5 cards at same length repeatedly. One two three, one two three, rather than 1 through 6, if that makes any sense? It’s hard to phrase what I mean in text form, but I hope the point gets across. Not to mention these prices… this thing looked like it was around the $200 ballpark. I think I’ll stick to Rossm.
The only thing of value you said was high price. Without testing it u can't say it's low quality, specially when the man gave it 5 stars for quality. And if you are smart enough you would put the most used cards in one section. With this style of wallets its easier to find one card between 5 rather than fish out 1 from 10.
Spitfire Cash Light Wallet
Too expensive and magnets should be kept as far away from cards (and watches) as possible. The stacking system is limiting and possibly by design, so you buy additional modules. Not one for me.
Id like to see what happens when you drop it on the ground… wallets all over the place
Are you india?
😮
Got one for sale
Nice to indian cash
No MagSafe feature killed this option for me
The lever is really trash. When I finally got mine in the mail, it broke instantly
Black Friday Sale!
I like this, too expensive though
better awaiting china version 😁😁😁
So if you have 8-10 cards this thing will be a brick to carry in your pocket.
Too pricy for me, great design but not worth it. Great Review as always! 👍🏻
Only 3-5 cards? Lol nah. I'll stick to leather wallets.
😂😂😂 "Minimal-ness" just keeps getting more or more LESS minimal. Flippers, levers, magnets, rubber, titanium... "Hey everybody, look at my stupidly expensive Rube Goldberg minimalist wallet!"😅
I love your reviews, but at this juncture, this style of wallet is a hard no for me. That design reminds me a little of a cupholder I had in a car I owned for a brief period of time. Because the car was German, I suppose they wanted a cupholder to match the finesse and engineering the car brand was known for. You pressed a button and a little motor opened up a device and boom, a cupholder emerged. Never mind that it was not easy to reach as it was actually close to some of the controls near the steering wheel and it basically only fit a small coffee cup. And if the little motor ever broke, you were likely looking at a $1,000 repair. That is what this wallet reminds me of. Very expensive and less functional than a minimalist bifold or basic cardholder wallet, and that lever that pushes the cards out could fail eventually where as simple slots or pull tabs likely never will.
Was that a ₹500 bill?
Yes it is!
its alot for him thats compared to $100 to us
Oh Snap! It's $180!
How did you got that 500 rs bill ☝️ indian
Can you put an ID into the card holder?
Ugh my hard earned money deserve way more than a plastic enclosure that has magnets on it
Dunno who likes that kind of metal wallets. Price is stupid. 1/5 stars
So bad they stopped selling it!😢
Is that Morgan freeman I just heard 😂
