Review: Snap Grip iPhone Wallet – MagSafe Muscle With a Slim Profile

If you’re like me, you’ve probably dropped your iPhone in a golf cart, out of a jacket pocket on the ski lift, or off an armrest while reaching for your post-round swing lube. We live in a world where phones have become our lifelines—to GPS, score tracking, payment, tee times, and of course, those last-minute texts confirming your 7:40 AM tee time. So when a wallet comes along that doesn’t just store cards but also grips, stands, and rides along with my iPhone, I’m game.

The Snap Grip Wallet is a $79.99 slab of sleek aluminum witchcraft that attaches via MagSafe to your iPhone (12 and up), and solves a handful of annoyances in one stroke. Think of it as the Swiss Army Knife of phone accessories—without the corkscrew, but with far more utility if you’re not uncorking bottles at the turn.

What It Is

At its core, the Snap Grip Wallet is an RFID-blocking, MagSafe-compatible aluminum wallet that holds between 1-8 cards (depending on how thick your life is). But that’s just the start. It also:

Doubles as a grip for your phone (bye-bye accidental turf drops).

Triples as a kickstand, so you can watch swing tips or reruns of The Masters hands-free.

AND features a magnet array on both sides, meaning you can slap it onto any magnetic mount or metal surface without pulling it off your phone.

Translation: You can mount your phone to the cart, locker, fridge, or power cart canopy mid-round while keeping your cards on hand.

Pocket-Friendly Specs

Thickness: 7.8mm (min) – 12.7mm (max)
Length: 96mm
Width: 64mm
Card Capacity:
8 non-lettered cards
5 lettered cards
6–7 if you’re rocking a mix

I’ve been rolling with 5 cards—driver’s license, AmEx, club card, and a couple rewards cards I’ll never remember to use—and they fan out easily once you pop the wallet off the phone. Slide, fan, pick. Simple.

On The Course

On the golf course, this thing shines. It grips like a champ—whether I’m shooting yardages with my GPS app or checking my swing in slo-mo video. Set the phone on the green while lining up a putt? Kickstand. Need to stick it to the dash while navigating to a muni two towns over? Magnetic mount.

Charging is a breeze. The wallet doesn’t interfere with the plug at all.

Verdict

If you’re an iPhone user with a MagSafe case (or older phone with a Snap Grip setup), the Snap Grip Wallet is a smart upgrade that merges function, style, and field-readiness into one slick unit. At $79.99, it’s not exactly bargain bin—but for golfers, travelers, and everyday grinders who hate clutter and love convenience, it’s an ace.

Now if only it came with a divot tool…

Pros: Super slim, magnetic on both sides, killer grip and stand combo
Cons: Pricey, might be too slim for card hoarders. Adds bulk to the phone.

Great Gift

Mother’s Day is ONE WEEK away. Whether mom is a golfer or not, she’ll dig the Grip Wallet! Dad will too! Father’s Day is on the horizon!

It has been raining here in northern Utah for about four straight weeks. Not just a light rain either. It has been pouring. To you locals here I apologize. It is my fault. You see, I bought new patio furniture and a new grill for the summer. Since the day I bought it, it has been raining non-stop.

Fortunately for me I’m dealing with the rain in style with my new Weatherman golf umbrella, which arrived about 3 weeks ago. Perfect timing. I’ve had it in use for days and days and I’ve been extremely impressed. Let’s take a look at the basic features of this umbrella, including its “mobile experience.”

Weatherman Golf Umbrella Features

Size! I’m using the 62 inch model. It is quite large and covers a ton of area. The width would easily cover caddie and player. Weatherman makes 68 inch model as well.

The construction of this umbrella is like a BMW crossed with a tank. It’s so solid, well built, high performance, and extremely attractive. The skeleton of the umbrella is made from industrial-strength fiberglass. The fabric is coated in Teflon to repel water. The handle is beefy and comfortable.

The fabric section is a dual layer design, which helps the umbrella bust the wind. In fact, this umbrella can withstand winds up to 55 mph. 55 mph should be plenty for any golfer to survive a round in extreme rain and wind, except perhaps Scottish chaps. 55 is but a “wee breeze” in Scotland.

A simple and smooth auto-open feature is activated by a button on the handle. It opens quickly. Closing is manual, and couldn’t be easier.

On the underneath of the umbrella is a mesh pocket for storing personal items.

Never thought I’d see the day, but this umbrella comes with its own “mobile experience.” First theres a bluetooth tracker (round item in photo below) which helps the owner track down the umbrella when it is misplaced, or stolen. Second, the Weatherman app will keep you up to date on pending rain and remind you when to have the umbrella ready.
