SAFE WALLET
Future Roadmap Preview
Introducing
SAFE WALLET ULTRA
Issue: BulletTrain has found it very challenging to keep up with Apple’s annual release of four new iPhone models. Doing so has been like trying to drink water from a fire hydrant.
Resolution: BulletTrain will never fall behind the supply and demand curve again by adopting a one-size-fits-all, future-proof BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA model.
Objective: This new one-size-fits-all ULTRA product must be equal to or superior to any previous generation of BulletTrain SAFE Wallet case for iPhone. We firmly believe that this product meets or exceeds these expectations, as outlined in this article.
Challenges: Ensure the SAFE WALLET ULTRA securely attaches to MagSafe cases so it performs consistently and efficiently, without any unexpected sliding or detachment. Additionally, since the case is designed to last, there’s a focus on minimizing wear and tear.
This article offers a fascinating preview into the future roadmap for the BulletTrain SAFE WALLET. BulletTrain is renowned for its beloved Minimalist SAFE WALLET cases for iPhone, but decided to stop making them as iPhone cases for current models, and instead replace them with an even more innovative model know as the BulletTrain SAFE WALLET ULTRA. The ULTRA is the ultimate SAFE WALLET in every way, and it includes Apple Magsafe and Find My features.
Above is a preview image that shows features of the new ULTRA, which will work with any Magsafe model iPhone, or Magsafe compatible case.
The all-new SAFE WALLET ULTRA model holds five plastic cards inside its hollow core wallet door, along with one cash bill tri-folded, as pictured below. ULTRA also features a new ID tray on the left side that can hold any plastic card securely.
There will be two versions of the BulletTrain SAFE WALLET ULTRA. The base model ULTRA which is expected to to sell for $99 will include Apple Magsafe magnets, and there will also be an almost identical version that incorporates Apple 'Find My' tracking technology, so you can't lose your SAFE WALLET ULTRA (Pictured below), and this is expected to retail for $149.
The 'Find My' electronic module functionally and components are built into the backplate of the Ultra, which has zero effect on the thickness. It allows you to easily find your BulletTrain SAFE Wallet anywhere and will allow you to make your ULTRA wallet ring if you lose it.
Get the Skinny on ULTRA SKINS
The all-new BulletTrain SAFE WALLET ULTRA will be made from indestructible TPU, and comes in multiple colors, and will also be skin-able. The images below are for illustration purposes only, but BulletTrain is preparing a Skin store which will over many cool looking skins.
The 2026 BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA is pictured below on the left and on the right, which is largely based upon our original 2017 BulletTrain SAFE Wallet MINI, which we still sell. The SAFE WALLET MINI is made from polycarbonate, which is hard plastic, and the new ULTRA will be made from TPU which is a little softer, and unbreakable. Just so you understand and don't get confused, all the photos in this story feature our BulletTrain SAFE Wallet MINI, or an early BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA prototype that essentially has been retrofitted with a Magsafe Magnet array on it's back.
The image below compares and contrasts our upcoming BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA with our BulletTrain SAFE Wallet MINI which we came out with in 2017 as a solution for Android users who wanted our SAFE WALLET functionality. It just so happens, our BulletTrain SAFE Wallet MINI also works great with many different diverse iPhone cases.
There are a number of differences between the two models, as follows:
-2017 MINI is made out of hard polycarbonate. 2026 ULTRA will be made out of unbreakable TPU.
-The 2017 MINI has a 'CASH STASH' on the left side that can hold two tri-folded cash bills (.66MM), but does not have enough room to carry a plastic ID card (.8MM), but the ULTRA does as pictured above.
-The ULTRA is the exact same height as the MINI, but about a Millimeter wider, and has a slightly more curved door opening handle.
-The ULTRA features Magsafe magnets as a method of attachment, whereas the MINI uses Microsuciton as a method of attachment.
-The ULTRA is expected be only 1MM thicker overall, which is remarkable.
Below we see a Magsafe BulletTrain SAFE WALLET ULTRA prototype riding piggyback on the back of the dbrand Grip case, which looks really great. I have been testing prototypes with different cases, and despite the fact the dbrand Grip case looks great, it is not very well designed and I would NOT recommend it.
Below we see my everyday carry setup which features a BulletTrain SAFE WALLET ULTRA Magsafe prototype along with a super-low-profile OhSnap Grip 5 (think: pop socket holder) on a Spigen Thin Fit case for iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is a really well designed and built case.

Below we see the OhSnap Grip 5 in the open/elevated position attached to the back of a SAFE WALLET MINI, which is attached to the back of Spigen Thin case, and I was really surprised at how well this combination performs and looks together. I have tried many different grips in the past including Pop Sockets, and they were all terrible, but the OhSnap Grip 5 really impressed me.
OhSnap! Grip 5
I tried using a Magsafe Pop-socket in the past and found it to be uncomfortable, and most importantly unergonomic. Recently, I took a deep dive and reviewed a number of what are considered to be the best Magsafe grips for iPhone, and was stunned at how terribly designed they all were, with the absolute exception of the recently introduced OhSnap Grip 5, which is pictured above and below on the far right.
It's not easy to impress me, but the OhSnap Grip 5 certain has. So, much so, I am considering keeping it on as a permanent fixture on my ULTRA. Part of what makes this solution appealing is the OhSnap Grip 5 is only ~3MM thick, and due to it's flat and round profile, perfectly fits in my hand when in the lowered, closed position. Also, when I put my phone in my pocket and pull it out, it's completely friction free, and very low profile as you can see in the photos above.
BulletTrain SAFE Wallet MINI
Below we see photos of a BulletTrain SAFE WALLET MINI on the back of a Spigen Thin Fit case. This first photo also shows the built-in MagicStand feature that holds up the iPhone case perfectly in portrait.

Next, we see two images that show the iPhone 17 PRO MAX in a Black Spigen Thin Fit case, with a BulletTrain SAFE WALLET MINI attached to the back, and the built-in MagicStand allows the user to rotate the iPhone from portrait to landscape instantly and effortlessly.
The way the MagicStand feature works, is the user simply pushes their stack of 5 plastic cards out of the hollow core wallet door by a quarter inch or more, which serves to automatically locks out the landscape stand at the perfect landscape angle.

Below we see an iPhone 17 PRO MAX in Cosmic Orange in a clear Spigen case, along with a BulletTrain SAFE Wallet MINI on back. We still sell this BulletTrain SAFE Wallet MINI model, and although it was originally designed as an alternative for Android users, it works great riding piggyback on the back of an iPhone case.
The SAFE WALLET MINI pictured below is attached to the back of the Spigen clear case using microsuction, and takes only a few seconds to install. Once installed it will stay of indefinitely so long as you don't keep removing it and putting it back on. The user can charge their iPhone 17 Pro Max using USB-C, or with Magsafe wireless charging if they remove their phone from the Spigen case, in order to charge it wirelessly, which is pretty easy to do.

Notice the matching clear Quick Disconnect attached to the bottom of the Spigen iPhone 17 Pro Max case pictured above. This makes it compatible with our SAFE PURSE straps and SAFE LEASH lanyard straps. I am an avid snowboarder, and our SAFE LEASH is invaluable for securing your iPhone while using on a Chairlift as pictured below.

Below we see our BulletTrain SAFE Wallet MINI attached to the back of my Spigen iPhone 17 Pro Max Thin case, that is accessorized with our updated quick disconnect for SAFE LEASH.
Our new SAFE WALLET ULTRA will come standard with MagSafe and silicone padding on the back which will secure it perfectly to the back of a high quality Magsafe phone case, which will work perfectly for everyday life.
For customers who need a failsafe method of attachment with their ULTRA we will offer a VHB accessory kit, which will basically crazy glue our ULTRA to the back of most iPhone cases, so it can't fall off.
The BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA will also be the best and skinniest freestanding minimalist wallet, and with our optional micro-suction kit will be able to hold 6 cards internally, and two cards on the outside, for a total of 8 cards, as illustrated in the two images below.
The standard BulletTrain SAFE Wallet MINI and ULTRA models can safely semi-permanently attach any plastic card to their outside door, as pictured below where we see an Tesla NFC vehicle Key Card attached to the back of a BulletTrain SAFE Wallet MINI. If the user were to use the ULTRA or MINI without attaching it to a phone, they could use our microsuciton kit accessory on both sides, to hold a total of 8 cards. In the photo below, the Tesla NFC card could just as easily be a swipeable NFC employee entrance ID card, and the significance of this feature is if you regularly use your ID card, you no longer have to remove it from your wallet or wear in on a neck lanyard.

For the ladies—or dudes that look like ladies—we will be offering our SAFE PURSE Straps as pictured below, which allow a woman to wear almost any iPhone case with her BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA attached, and also have a place to attach a car key fob or house key chain.

BulletTrain began making SAFE WALLET models for the iPhone 4, and trying to keep up with Apple's constant release of 4 new models a year has been a complete nightmare, which explains why BulletTrain is coming out with the all-new BulletTrain SAFE WALLET ULTRA model.
The ULTRA will be compatible with basically every iPhone and Android phone ever made, and will work out of the box instantly with all 24 of the current MagSafe compatible iPhones listed below:
