Product Description
Meet the Monk Magnet! No, this case won't make monks more attracted to you (well, it's so good looking it actually might). Rather, we have used magnets to solve the biggest problem with wallet phone cases right now: having to hold a bulky phone up to your ear during calls. Your phone goes into a fitted case that has magnets embedded in the back of it. This fitted case then magnetically attaches to the magnetic wallet, allowing you to remove the phone from your wallet. The magnets are strong enough to hold your phone securely in the case while still making it easy to pull your phone from case. And contrary to what your know-it-all friend might say, magnets WILL NOT mess up your phone or credit cards. This case also allows you to stick your phone securely to any metal surface. It’s perfect for when you are working on a recipe or project, watching a video or just wanting to take a shameless selfie.

Now after 2 months I can wholeheartedly say I'm so glad I did.
It has a superior build quality, It feels study and it functions exactly as you would want and expect it to. The magnets are absolutely strong enough to hold the phone in, even if you were to lightly shake it. I definitely feel comfortable leaving the fate of my $1000 iPhone up to the case. The leather is good quality, I haven't noticed any staining like I read in another review (although I haven't really spilt anything on it), and while it is cracking/chipping on the outside joint, I feel like it's not excessive in any way and I don't really think there would be any way to prevent that, regardless of how much the case cost.
Despite Sewell Direct's recommendations, I chose to keep 5 cards in the card slots (as opposed to the recommended 3) and with 2 cards, the occasional receipts and cash in the pouch. I have found that while initially it was very difficult to remove the cards (especially from the window slot) the case quickly stretched to allow easy access to the cards, but even now after 2 months it hasn't stretched too far and retains it's shape and slim form. The case is perfectly safe to keep NFC cards in (e.g. Tap and Go credit cards) and has not affected the cards in any way. It is also possible to use the NFC cards without taking them out of the wallet. (I have not tested Apple Pay as it is not available in Australia but other reviews I have read say it works)
Overall, the case is absolutely good value for money and I have no doubts that it will not deteriorate even with constant use for quite a while. Whenever the case reaches the end of its life I have no doubts that I will be buying another one or in any case returning my business to Sewell Direct.

From a functionality standpoint it works as it is described. I don't have any issues with the magnet interface and the phone has never unwantedly detached. The credit card storage is tight and there isn't much room for money but again, this has the same size footprint as your phone so it's to be expected. On all of the above criteria I would rate it 5 stars.
However, from a phone protection stanpoint the case gets 1 star. the plastic surrounding the case is very thin/fragile and doesn't even encompass the whole phone. Therefore, if you drop your phone while detached from the magnet wallet portion or if you drop it even in the case on the exposed side you will most likely pick up a shattered phone. A corner of the phone case has already broken off on mine and I haven't dropped it at all. I'd imagine its just from wear and tear (only 2 weeks of use). See photos.
Bottom line is DO NOT BUY THIS CASE IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT DROP PROTECTION. It's just not for that...

The card slots are limited to 3 and ended up breaking after I squeezed too many cards in. I'd like to see at least 1 additional card slot - 3 just isn't enough. I need room for an ID/DL license, ATM card, Credit Card, and a company Credit Card at minimum. And probably need room for a couple more random cards (subway card, gym card, etc.). If they were just a little flexible so you could double up cards without ripping, that would be awesome.
Also, the whole thing just started to look a little beat up after less than a year of use. I'd pay 2, 3, or even 4x as much for something that was made from higher quality materials with sturdier construction.
PROS: the magnetic part is perfect. I've had a few other designs that didn't get it quite right, but this one is perfect. Snaps exactly back into place, and is plenty strong enough to hold the phone in place.
There's a window for the camera, which is nice. I've seen some others that didn't have that either.
Over all it's great and serves it's purpose well - I like it enough that I bought a second one to replace the first one that wore out. At this price I can deal with buying a new one every year.

I like being able to remove my phone from my wallet so easily, I've now owned this product about 5 months and use it daily.
I am rough on things, and this is holding up to my needs. I've seen posts about people worried about what the magnets will do to their credit cards and phone. Mythbusters did a whole episode on this topic. I have not had any problems with my credit cards additionally, I have a very sensitive security card for my work which has never had any problems with the magnets in the case.
