I have this on my mountain bike it I brought it to rough trails and it held up pretty well. Definitely worth it. Seems like I also have one for the car.
I've owned the phone case and slim wallet for 2 years now. Very happy with the case...sleek design and it looks as good today as when I first bought it. The slim wallet I've just had to replace as the internal magnet that keeps the flap closed had come unglued from underneath the material and wouldn't stay in place. As it was under warranty it was replaced at no charge, but you can only do that once, so the replacement is not covered by any warranty. Hopefully this one lasts longer than 2 years. I also hope if they redesign the wallet they revise how that magnet is held in place.
Although the overall product is good, I find it puzzling why the case for the iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max has a hole instead of an actual button on the small Action Button side. It makes it difficult to press, and I'm curious about the rationale behind such a design choice.
I made my own magnetic attachment device in the past and it somehow destroyed the compass sensor. It was a very old phone and very possible my DIY design did it in, but I am wary of magnets around phones. Although credit cards might be protected inside the case, my fumble fingers might defeat the protection. Perhaps testing a missed credit card insertion that passes by the magnet might be useful. Excellent features, but pricey as you have said
@@DustinAbbottTWI Canada almost exclusively uses the chip, but in the US there are many vendors that still use the magnetic stripe. I dont think magnets could affect the chip, so you would only know for sure if you happened to use the stripe or tested some other card that would not cause inconvience.
I participated in the kickstarter for this, which meant a steep discount, that made the value proposition even better :)

Your point is well taken, but I've been using the wallet attachment for nearly 3 months now, and I've had zero issues with any of my credit cards.

I've actually had a to swipe a few times. No problem.
