Great comparison! I think the older one is more for me so I appreciate this video.
Thanks for watching Chris! ya my little bro went with the old one too 🙏
I watched this after receiving this wallet as a gift, and this is such an awesome review. I really hope you continue making content. 😊
Thanks so much Edward! I've been using the wallet since too and still love it. Definitely looking to continue making vids, just hectic at work past few months but more videos soon 🙏
Really like mine i chose it over apple wallet and AirTag wallets it works good
I prefer the older one design wise. I have used mine for a year or so, the brown one didn't hold up very well material wise. It starts chipping off, as it uses a slightly different cloth like material. I suggest choosing the other ones over the brown one, though the brown one looks the best when it's new.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I agree, I've went through 2 of the geo wallets so far.. using it with the finger loop as I reply to you new. Keep in mind ESR does offer 2 year warranty on most purchases I think including these wallets though i haven't tried going through that process, just bought it again.
well imformed, i run a s22 ultra in a magbak case and over the last few weeks i have been looking at wallets.. unsure what wallet was best i placed orders for the ESR ..MOFT..MAGBAK..PD , the moft is hopeless the magbak kinda works as a kickstand but not great.. i am currently trying to decide between the ESR and the PD both are great as both a wallet and kickstand with the strongest magnetic connections of the 4..
Thanks for dropping a comment Peter! Interesting didn't know you could get magsafe functionality on a samsung with a magbak case, very cool. The Peak Design kickstand wallet was on my shortlist too, but ultimately went with ESR because of my preference for the material and color/aesthetic. Also didn't hurt that the ESR options were about half the price too hah. The PD magnetic card closure mechanism does look interesting though i'm not sure it makes up for the lack of find my functionality and the finger loop. Anyway, just my 2 cents, best of luck with your decision 🙏
@Seif Buys i get the finger loop the magbak has this and is very handy 👌 But it's one piece ( no hinge) I'm still undecided regarding the ESR and the Pd.. The ESR holds fewer cards than the PD (got 8 in the PD) But i like the window for your ID in the ESR.. Both are very good.. And my magbak case is brilliant took me a while to find one. Went direct to magbak (USA) 3 day's from california to the UK.. Very good service 👏
@@thenuttypuffer oh wow, 8 cards in the PD!? I can see why it's a tough decision then. Decisions decisions hah
Can you fit cash in the wallet in the folding part? Is the folding part magnetic at all or just held in place with the hinge? Thanks!
Hey Shane, so ya, just tested and was able to fit 2 5 Canadian dollar bills in that slot on the Geo wallet along with the 3 cards, it is quite tight though in that case, but easy enough to remove cards and cash using the gap at the bottom of the Geo Wallet. The other non find my wallet provides more room in general for both cards and folded cash. As for the folding magnetic part, on the new Geo wallet, it does have a magnet in there which clamps the two pieces together, I imagine they added that because of the finger loop as the old one with the 3 diff slots relies on just the hinge and I haven't had issue with it to date.
@@seifbuys Nice! If you fold the bills in half, do they fit in between the wallet? The part between the top and the bottom? Right now I'm using a money clip on my apple wallet, and I'm looking for a more traditional type of wallet where the money stays inbetween the top/bottom flap. Cheers!
@@chiassoo Ahh interesting use case! Yes, the bills fit in there/between the flaps (with some minor hanging out the sides) and they do stay put even though the magnet isn't strong enough to keep the wallet/flaps fully shut with bills in between. My issue with this use would be that I use the kickstand a lot and the bills will obviously just fall out when you open the thing up to use as a kickstand.
@@seifbuys Ah that's perfect! My phone case already has a stand but it'll be nice to have a place to put my cash as well, if I go out or something. The stand in this wallet is much taller and more stable! It's nice to have options, thanks dude!
@@chiassoo cheers, enjoy man!
I am using ESR Halolock wallet since one week ( not geo one ) . It is comfortable one .. using in watching KZhead content on stand . I got it from Amazon India . I love ESR products.. I am using on my iPhone 14 pro max . I ordered some other ESR products like MagSafe back cover , MagSafe grip ring holder , MagSafe Halolock car charger etc . I keep cash , DL ( driving license) , 2 cards in it . It is very handy & better than Apple MagSafe. One ESR MagSafe wallet I gifted to my wife .
Thanks for sharing! I agree and love the ESR suite of products too. Best in class products for fair prices 👍
I’m hoping soon that cases themselves will have recharging battery life to them, that slight lift like the bellory to slide in cards or minimal bump out with a kickstand and for those who like MagSafe charging option still can…. I mean as soon as ID can be stored digitally on phones… I’m still leaning towards the bellory as so slim n sleek, holds cards without fuss and I don’t wireless charge as quicker to use a cord. Even when I travel I use bank that has built in cords so can juice up multiple things at once it’s worked great ! Lightweight slim fits in sling with plastic water bottle so can be out exploring new place all day long. I mentioned this on another review site that even if wallet has find my function, if they still your phone and takes eight minutes to locate tag good luck. Best can hope for is trying keeping items on you safely and having extra ID, cash/debit/credit cards in safe spot as soon as lost best to lock them use backups until if lucky get it back. ✌🏽🍀🎸🌟
Always have paper copies of ID when travel hidden safely, check at new destinations, also email yourself a photo of them, and use padlock of pack zips whenever about… don’t leave passport in unattended bag someone I know got there’s stolen on the plane and was a major pain when they landed as couldn’t transfer without fast tracking new passport put everything days back on plans. When they shared this before I went on my last holiday with multiple stops, I got travel insurance as a hundred bucks Cdn seemed like a wiser idea than that alternative. It was the most mature decision I did, also included medical which kinda have though more peace of mind to just enjoy traveling was bonus as the older I get the more my mentality needs cushion to be easy going ;) except no bulky pockets ;) just pastry shops between kilometres of walking motivation ;)
@@jader3259 wow! thanks for all that! quite the informative read 🙏
Practical, easy to use, safer for mobiles, what more you want? Again, as usual, great video John Snow, and must say that i have a version of this one, made in Spain, that works aswell as wallet for money, and cards at same time, so you can attached to your pockets in your pants, with a chain, as i do, and ride my bike with all in place and proof of loses or thiefs. Great video man! greetings from Spain!
Exactly Mikel! what more could we ask for. I do like the sound of your made in Spain wallet though, carries cash easily as well? that sounds interesting! Thanks for watching as always man.
@@seifbuys It is not loud but you can ear if sojmething is going to be lose or just fall to down, besides this, the best is the confort. All togheter and safe. Greetings!
@@mikel.zuniga Ahh makes sense! thanks for the info!
Do you know if ESR has any plans to make this wallet compatible with Samsung's SmartThings app?
Hey Miguel, not to my knowledge, no.
What's the case you have on your bigger phone (in your left hand) in this vid?
Oh that's the ESR MagSafe Kickstand Case, I made a vid review on it a while back here: kzhead.info/sun/dqyoZrCCe2mVlWw/bejne.html Still consider it to be the best imo.
I am sticking to the older one. ❤
sounds good! definitely has it's benefits 👌
Ordered one yesterday.. waiting for delivery. Need to wait 20 days to get it 😮
oh wow sorry to hear on the long delivery time man! it's available for same day delivery in Toronto through Amazon Prime these days
What’s black case is that
Hi there, that's the 'ESR Clear Black iPhone 14 Pro Max Classic Kickstand Case' for the iPhone 14 Pro Max: amzn.to/447yzd9 They have a 15 Pro max version too which has slightly different design/material on the edges: amzn.to/3Upb7Fl
Appreciate your video set up, product+phone+presenter+proper lighting, other reviewer kind of low light, product in frame for couple seconds, then always the guy talking without product in frame the most, so unrealistic to see the true size and dimension of product itself
Hey Azzad, thanks so much for watching and the kind comment! I appreciate the positive feedback as that's what I was thinking too as someone who watches a lot of KZhead review videos 😅
Do that wallet show other iPhone users phone that” wallet is found “ like airpods
Hey Ajal, can't say I've experienced this feature personally, but if it works on airtags and airpods like that then probably yes
Where do you buy this ?
Hey Sean, thanks for watching! links are in the video description but here they are for ease of access: Link to pre-order the new ESR Geo Wallet: www.kickstarter.com/projects/esrgear/geo-wallet-worlds-1st-magsafe-wallet-with-full-find-my?ref=cqumt9 or if you prefer the regular ESR kickstand wallet, you can buy that on Amazon here: amzn.to/3FE9LhQ
I’m so scared of using the grip cuz every review on Amazon says it breaks. Otherwise I love it
ahh I know what u mean! it takes a while for it to pop off and when it does, I just pop it back on. Though with time it eventually ceases to pop back on.. like with 7 or so months of daily use in my case. They do offer 24 month warranty tho so u can get it replaced and I've never dropped my phone on account of it (knock on wood). I would totally be open to other options but I haven't found anything as good as this finger loop kickstand combo yet. I legit have 3 of these just in case one pops off and one for my pixel 8 pro with dbrand ghost case. Changes the way I use my phones on the daily which is much more than I can say about any other accessory.
Do you feel like it adds too much weight and bulk to the phone?
Hey, thanks for watching! While it does add some weight, for me it's not enough to be annoying. I prefer to use my phone with the wallet on it/ am using it now with my finger hooked through the finger loop. As for thickness, it does add thickness, but again I prefer to use my phone with the wallet all the time. Have been using it every day since I posted this video and am using it now. If the bulk is too much, you could just easily remove it and put the wallet in a different pocket when not in use. Something to note, now that I've been using it for so long, there are some durability concerns. The rubber on the outer edge of the wallet is pealing off and the finger loop unhooks from the thing on occasion. A little annoying but not enough for me to stop using it/ I still think it's the best option out there for a magsafe wallet. Also, I'm not sure but I think if I filed a warranty claim with ESR, they would probably send me a free replacement.
Thank you..appreciate the response. I might try it out. 👍
Just want the first one for 3 cards and have the cards slide in vertical inside, but none like that exists.
hmm maybe I am not understanding you correctly, but the Geo Wallet is pretty much that. I'm using it now as I reply to you. It fits 3 cards and you can slide them up with your finger
@@seifbuysYeah but then it's not using the regular one's design. I want the cards inside the flip and not extra stuff in the way and that makes it heavier like the loop and tracker.
@@Nekotaku_TV Oh okayy, I understand, ya I haven't seen anything like that out there neither.
Which one do you prefer?
I prefer the geo wallet/it's the one i've been using since I posted this video and am using now as I reply to you. Mainly because I've grown to love the finger loop (even though currently it does pop off on occasion) and I like the peace of mind of having find my (even though the thing is pretty much 24/7 slapped on the back of my phone except when charging at night and driving). Something I should mention about both these wallets is that with extensive months of use, I've noticed the rubber on the outer edge of the wallets tends to come off. It's not distracting or annoying enough for me to contact their customer support and try and get replacement though nor is it a deal breaker for me. This is to say, I would buy both these wallets again even knowing this since there are no better options out there i'm aware of. Perhaps the peak design kickstand magsafe wallet, but I don't really like the design of that.
@@seifbuys Thanks! I actually ordered the Geo wallet after watching your review yesterday. I’m eager to try it out and see if I like it better than the Apple MagSafe wallet that I have. The Geo wallet certainly provides more functionality. The price is very reasonable as well.
@@Bklynblaze1 I see! nicee, glad to hear and hope you enjoy it as much as I have been brother 🙏
Just got mine but the only prob is too bulky
ya for sure! def not the slimmest but for the functionality, i'm more than happy to live with that bulk.
@@seifbuys yeah true. I'll get use to this for sure. Magnet is very strong too
Find my is nice, but it’s only location. It doesn’t show detail direction at a site like an AirTag.
Thanks for reiterating that like I said in the vid Rick! good for people to know 💯
bested with so many slots less?
If number of slots is your top most priority then, like I said in the vid, the original ESR Kickstand Wallet is the way to go. Keep in mind it's only intended/designed to carry three cards though also.. I've been carrying more in mine and over extensive use, threads in my wallet started to come off. I've been using the ESR geo wallet these days though since I don't care for the extra card carrying capacity, I like the finger loop, and peace of mind of having 'find my' built into the wallet. But to each their own 🤷
Hmmmmmm. Jon Snow? 😂
haha aye 'I do know some things..'
@@seifbuys just surprised I’m the only one that says this. 😝 anyway great content. Helpful and fun to watch. 👍
@@emilioml20 haha thanks a ton man 🙏 and rest assured, people have been commenting that on some of my vids, so you're not alone!
Kind of aggressive.
Thanks for watching Ricardo!
You yada yada on about all types of shit but you never mentioned how many cards fit in it which is kinda the most important part...
literally by minute 1:30 I have mentioned how many cards fit in each of the 2 types of magsafe wallets I showed. I'll spell it out here for good measure: ESR Kickstand wallet: 3-6 cards, I recommend sticking with 3 as any more could degrade the wallet lifespan. ESR Geo Wallet: 3-4 cards. 4 is pushing it, would stick with 3 to not degrade the wallet lifespan. Hope that helps Steve! thanks for watching 🙏
@@seifbuys 🤣 im sorry dude I guess I really missed that part damn 🤦🏽♂️
@@stevedirdochegal6568 no worries bro, happens to best of us! that's why i make it a point to say all key info upfront.. so u don't have to watch 17 min vid just for that lol
