According to Apple, leather wallets will blemish and stain your shiny new Apple Card. But don’t worry, plenty of alternatives can keep your Apple Card looking like a clean, lean, peripheral machine.
What to Look for in an Apple Card Wallet
As outlined by the official Apple Card support page, Apple Cards should be stored in a wallet, pocket, or bag made of “soft materials.” But you need to choose your “soft material” wisely, as “leather and denim might cause permanent discoloration” of the card. (Of course, Apple replaces damaged cards for free, and a little discoloration isn’t the end of the world.)
You should also avoid any wallets that facilitate card-on-card contact, as the Apple Card “could become scratched” if it rubs against another card. Oh, and you should avoid wallets that have “magnetic latches,” as they could demagnetize the Apple Card’s magnetic strip.
Follow these simple rules to a T, and your Apple Card should be safe from blemishes, discoloration, and magnetic tomfoolery. If your card sustains a blemish, Apple suggests you clean it with a microfiber cloth and some isopropyl alcohol.
Apple hasn’t suggested a brand of alcohol or microfiber cloth on its website, but we’ve noticed that the company usually suggests products from Belkin. It just so happens that Belkin sells a microfiber cloth on Amazon. This cloth comes with an alcohol-free solution that you should not use on your Apple Card, so your best bet is to pair it with some Solimo brand isopropyl alcohol.
Note: We are not responsible if your Apple Card is damaged by a Belkin microfiber cloth or Solimo isopropyl alcohol.
