This MagSafe iPhone wallet doubles as a stand and offers Find My functionality

For a number of years now, Moft has offered some of the most innovative gadget accessories. They’re always interesting, if not necessarily useful. This new combination Find My wallet and stand manages to tick both boxes.

The accessory was announced a couple of weeks out from CES, where it will be shown off for the first time. The product is an update to the Snap-On Phone Stand & Wallet announced several years ago.

It utilizes the origami design that has been foundational to most of Moft’s offerings and attaches via MagSafe.

The headline new feature is, naturally, the addition of Apple-certified Find My integration, with “pro-active” notifications when the wallet is misplaced or moved from an area designated by the user.

In wallet mode, the system is roughly 1.1 millimeters thick. That includes an 80 mAh battery on board for the Find My functionality.

The new Snap-On Phone Stand & Wallet is set to start shipping in June, priced at $50, which puts it roughly in line with other iPhone wallets. It’s also $10 less than what Apple charges for its own FineWoven wallet.
