The Peel Wallet — Magical magnetic design keeps itself closed
A uniquely simple design that integrates magnets to keep the wallet closed. Along with the magnets, hidden rubber nubs on the back side of the thin elastic band further help keep your cards in place. It’s functional, thin, and fun to play with.
During testing no card strips were wiped due to the leather between card and magnet.

@rrhoover a big theme at Peel right now is to take our brand’s design principals (simple unobtrusive design + minimal branding) and apply them to more lifestyle products.
When possible we look to design in “that little something special”. Sometimes that’s making an item simpler. Other times it’s designing in a unique function.
A notebook is next for us. We have ideas for a pen concept, a backpack, a shoe, a shirt, a water bottle, and more :)
@marshal Please do a backpack asap. I've looked at dozens of backpacks trying to find a slim, clean one that would just hold my 13" Macbook, a charger and a few misc. I went with a small Thule one and like it for the most part but still feel like I settled.
@naval we recommend putting your cash on top of the card stack, below the elastic band. That said, cash wasn’t a priority use case with this particular design.
Woahh $65. I thought about getting this for business cards but, too steep for me. Neat idea but I'm assuming there is two magnets on each side, what's in place to stop the magnet from erasing a card (one that's against the insides of the wallet)?
Are these magnets strong enough to scramble the magnetic strip on a credit/debit card? Or is that not an issue with newer cards?
@jmilr I asked the same thing, depends on the card (varies from model to model) but yeah it can but it has to pretty much come into contact with them, so your top and bottom card may get erased.
How does this case prevent cards from potentially slipping out since the wallet doesn't fully close around the edges?
@nolanmccoy along with the magnetic closure, there's also grippy nubs below the elastic band.
