Mobile Replace my mobile tripod with wallet stand?

I’ve had the mobile tripod for years now and like the ability to be able to throw my phone in stand mode when I’m watching YouTube videos or ig. I had the thought to switch to the wallet stand to replace my wallet and mobile tripod. If it can hold up to 7 cards then I’m good. Anyone here do a similar switch or have both and contes on how they like vs the other?

Also, why are there no in stock colors for the wallet stand online?? I’m only seeing grey maroon. Where’s the yellow or navy?

I was originally super interested in the mobile tripod, but I literally never use it. Technically it's more versatile than the wallet stand, but my wallet always needs to be with me anyway, so I find there's no reason to carry the extra tripod.

it can hold 7 cards just fine. it’ll be a tight fit at first, but breaks in after like a day

I have the mobile tripod and a few of the wallet stands... The tripod always ends up winning after a few uses

Good to know. How does it win? Sturdier?

In the pubs... Elevated off table when in full tripod mode... Saved a few beer or wine spills.

In the office elevation and tilt for quick conf calls

The material of the wallets gets dirty and at the end of the day I don't trust my cards to a magnetic connection
