ESR Aura Wallet Stand REVIEW

Fashionable and functional MagSafe Wallet kickstand

The ESR Aura Wallet Stand arrived in a 4 1/8-inch-wide by 5 1/2-inch-tall by 5/8-inch-thick retail package. The cover panel listed the AURA wallet stand and ESR name along the lower edge and a pink iridescent image of the wallet at the mid/top section. The right side panel featured a fun “Tech Made Easier” slogan, while the left side panel displayed a multilingual product name and contact information.  The back panel listed the Aura Wallet name at the top and three product feature icons along the mid segment: Smart 5-Card Storage, Fully adjustable 2-way stand, and strong magnetic lock.  The lower segment listed product compatibility, box contents, and a barcode sticker.  Lastly, the bottom panel displayed the company website and contact information.  

I opened the box and removed the 2.5-ounce, 2 5/8 inches wide by 4 inches tall by 1/2 inch thick wallet, and included the support code with a QR code. I liked the brown-tan color and the wallet’s overall design.  The rear panel had a 2 3/8-inch-wide by 3 5/16-inch-tall by 1/8-inch-thick pocket.  I found that the outer pocket could accommodate up to three thinner cards, such as my Sam’s Club card, AAA card, and Apple gift card.  It is important to note that two cards seemed to be the sweet spot for the pocket, even when one was a credit card with raised numbers.  The pocket’s lower segment had a trapezoidal, thumb ejection cutout region.  If you press your thumb into the area and push up, the cards will eject upward.  

The pocket had a compressive midsection that prevented the cards from sliding out, even under forced shaking.  It was a bit difficult to eject a single card or all three simultaneously when three cards were in the pocket.  I could reliably remove 2/3 of the cards on the first attempt and then the last card with another effort.  When two cards were placed into the pocket, I could remove the top card and then the bottom card independently.  After several test trials, I believe the pocket works best for a two-card setup.  

The wallet-stand’s rear panel featured a large MagSafe ring that securely attached to my iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Air. Once the wallet was affixed to the phone, I opened up the hinged segment to reveal two inner card-pocket surfaces.  The outer panel had a single brown-colored card pocket, while the inner panel had an identity card pocket with a clear display.  Each pocket had an oval-shaped, 9/16-inch-wide by 15/16-inch-tall thumb-slider cutout.  I was unable to place more than one card in each inner pocket.  

The rigid hinged segment will allow you to experience a more optimized, comfortable viewing angle.  The hinge will enable the wallet stand to move from fully closed to ~160 °.  I was pleased with the hinge’s rigidity and the mechanism’s ability to open and close without losing support.  You can open the stand to approximately 45 degrees to enjoy an upright phone or assume various recumbent positions.  If you open the stand to 30-45 degrees, you can enjoy horizontal mode. Additionally, you can rotate the phone 90 degrees to the stand and still enjoy a strong magnetic attachment. When done, either fold the stand back into the phone or rotate the stand back. Carry your phone, wallet, and kickstand comfortably within a pocket, holster, or purse.

To summarize, the Aura Wallet stand features a classy, attractive vegan-leather shell, clean, well-spaced stitching, a rigid, multiposition kickstand, and card slots for up to 3-5 cards. Available color choices include pink, elephant gray, cream beige, lavendar, and bright white.
