MagSafe Rugged Wallet

MagSafe Rugged Wallet: Print Your Own Premium Phone Accessory! 

Hey Makers! 

Check out my latest project: a MagSafe-compatible wallet for your iPhone that's tough, practical, and a fraction of the cost of similar retail options!

I designed this wallet to be a durable hard case that securely attaches to the back of your MagSafe-enabled iPhone. 

Key Features:

• Rugged Design: Built to last! This is a sturdy, protective case that won't easily break.
• Capacity: It holds up to 5 credit cards or similar-sized cards (like IDs or transit passes) in the main slot.
• Dual-Sided Storage: The reverse side includes a dedicated area for securely stashing folded banknotes.

• MagSafe Attachment: Features perfectly sized magnet cavities for a strong, reliable connection to your iPhone.

   

Print Details & Materials:

I printed this in PETG for its excellent balance of strength, temperature resistance, and slight flexibility—making it ideal for an everyday carry item.

For my personal wallet, i used Army Green Glass Fiber Reinforced PETG, and the results are truly surprising; it feels incredibly robust and premium! 

The secret to its premium feel? Precise Tolerances!  I meticulously fine-tuned the design to ensure a perfect fit for your cards and a seamless snap-together assembly. If your printer is well-calibrated, you'll get an excellent result that feels like a commercially made product.

Pro-Tip: Using a high-quality PETG (or even GF-reinforced PETG!) and ensuring your printer is dialed in for minimal stringing and accurate dimensions is key for the best fit!

                  *The print profile includes two distinct versions of the card springs, and I am currently testing both.

Hardware Required (Non-Printed)

Everything else is 3D printed! You will need to purchase the following components to complete the assembly:

1. MagSafe Magnet Ring:

   • You need a standard MagSafe magnet ring insert  as the one here :

   • If you use a different one verify that the magnet dimensions match the pockets in my STL files!

      

     *Please ensure a pause is added at the 1.40 mm layer height to insert the MagSafe ring, in case your profile doesn't include it.

      

     

      

2. Screws:
   • M3x6mm machine screws for the button mechanism cover

   • I recommend M2x6mm self-tapping screws for the others

      

3. Springs:
   • 2 compression springs Outer diameter 6mm Lenght 10mm wire diamter 0.5mm

Why Print This?

Why pay a premium for a proprietary MagSafe wallet when you can print a better, tougher one at home? This project offers maximum utility, superior durability, and that awesome DIY satisfaction.
