I'm looking for a slim leather bi-fold wallet that has a dedicated sleeve for a physical Myki card.
It only needs to cater for 3 - 4 other cards. I don't carry cash.
A previous one I owned from A-Slim looks great but the reader wasn't picking up the Myki card unless I took it out.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Previous attempts at this failed me. I had to remove the bank cards for it to work. I might try again using an old wallet before buying a new one.
Bellroy Slim Sleeve? If you keep all the RFID cards on one side, you can use the other side for your myki.
Thanks for your suggestion. I'll add Bellroy to the short list.
If you have an iPhone, you can get a magsafe wallet attachment instead of separate wallet: https://i.imgur.com/DwbtxPw.jpg
If you have an Android phone, you can get mobile Myki and not need a physical card anymore: https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/tickets/myki/mobile-myki/
Just beware that some versions/colours of the Magsafe wallet don't work with Find My.
It's an iPhone so I have a two year wait.
Won't the built-in NFC of the phone interfere when tapping?
Nope, it doesn't. You can test it yourself next time by holding the card against the rear of the iPhone and tap on holding both.
There's a newer generation of wallets that have NFC chips themselves for the Find My function (to track in case you lose it). You may want to avoid those.
There's tons of third party wallets available as well, so you don't have to pay the Apple tax anyway. Just get a regular one that snaps on the back with the magnets. Worth looking into.
Eventually I expect Myki will get Apple integration so you'll have a digital version of the card and simply tap your iPhone onto the terminal in Express Mode (no verification required - just tap and go anytime).
Cheers. I;ll try this out.
Look for wallets that are NOT RFID, as they will allow the Myki Card (or any Bank Cards) from being scanned in the wallet.
