J Crew - Magic Wallet Review
This particular version of the J Crew magic Wallet was purchased in 2006 and used right through to 2011. Scroll down to the bottom of the article for a video review of a new J. Crew Magic Wallet.
At the time of purchase the wallet was not available in the UK and therefore was bought whilst on holiday in San Francisco for $25.00.
The wallet is made from two rigid leather bound panels, bound together by four pieces of elastic.
Each panel has two slots for placing cards lengthways in the wallet. On this version the leather, stitching and elastic are all brown. At the time of purchase there were a number of different colour options available.
Material
Number of card slots
There are four card slots, two on each side. When new one card fits in each slot snugly.
Card carrying capacity
Although there are just four card slots it is possible to squeeze two cards in each. Although hard to do at first the leather gives making it easier to get them in and out.
Id/photo slot
NO. There is no dedicated photo/ID area of the wallet.
size and shape
Measured with five notes in the cash section and 8 cards in the 4 slots.
Colours currently available
Currently the UK J Crew online store stocks a brown leather magic wallet with side loading card slots.
Although sneakily in the ladies section they also have magic wallets for sale in other colours and with top loading slots.
RFID blocking
Use with RFID Cards
Yes, although due to proximity of other cards if you have more than one RFID card you will need to separate them (one in each panel) otherwise it will be necessary to remove the card from your wallet before using it.
Weight
38g (Without Cards and Cash)
Cash pocket
Designed with the Dollar in mind. GBP notes fit nicely when folded in thirds however there is not always the time to do this when buying things in a hurry.
One Handedness
Possible to use one handed when each pocket is being used for one card only. When used with two cards in each slot then the top card in each pocket can still be accessed one handed.
Durability
Having used my J Crew Magic wallet for 5 years I have been impressed with it's longevity. Originally the cash was held in tightly, however, after so much use the elastic holding the two leather panels together has stretched. This means that cash can now fall out from time to time. The leather is still in wonderful condition as shown in the photos above.

Reviews for "Simplify Your Life with the J Crew Magi Wallet"
1. Jennifer - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the J crew magi wallet. The quality just wasn't what I expected for the price. The material felt cheap and flimsy, and after only a couple of uses, the stitching started to come undone. Not only that, but the wallet was also incredibly small and barely fit any cards or cash. Overall, I would not recommend this wallet.
2. Mark - 1 star - I had high hopes for the J crew magi wallet, but it turned out to be a complete letdown. The design is impractical and not user-friendly at all. The card slots were too tight, making it difficult to insert or remove cards. Additionally, the wallet did not have a proper section for coins, so they kept falling out whenever I opened it. It's a shame because I really liked the aesthetic, but the functionality just isn't there.
3. Sarah - 3 stars - The J crew magi wallet is just average in my opinion. It didn't exceed my expectations, but it also didn't completely disappoint me. The main issue I had was with the lack of organization inside the wallet. There was only one large compartment for everything, so it was difficult to keep cards, cash, and coins separate. The material and construction were decent, though, and the wallet looked nice. However, I would recommend looking elsewhere if you value organization and convenience.
