MagSafe case for 12
I need a new case for my iPhone 12. I have an apple wallet, but can’t use the “find my” if it becomes detached because I don’t have the right case. Any suggestions?
iPhone 8, iOS 14

Hi Jan43marietta,
The page Add your iPhone Wallet with MagSafe to Find My on iPhone indicates "If your iPhone Wallet with MagSafe has Find My support, you can connect it to your Apple ID so you can see its last known location in the Find My app".
The ability to track the iPhone Wallet is a feature of the wallet itself and not your case. As an example, the wallet listed at Evergreen FineWoven Wallet with Magsafe lists in the Overview section:
"It supports Find My, so you can be notified of your wallet’s last known location if it gets separated from your phone.**"
The related footnote provides the following:
"**Requires iPhone FineWoven Wallet with MagSafe and iPhone 12 or later with Find My enabled in iOS 17 or later. Not supported on iPhone 12 Clear Case with MagSafe.
We approximate your location from your internet IP address by matching it to a geographic region or from the location entered during your previous visit to Apple."
Based on all this information, you may need a new wallet, and if you're using the Clear Case with MagSafe, that would not be compatible.
Regards.
