I got the Apple leather case with the phone as well, I’m contemplating the card holder (which is why I asked), I’m just a bit worried it isn’t totally secure and it’s not cheap.
and I bought the MagSafe charger from Amazon, not the original Apple one though.

I've still got a great wireless charger I got from Amazon a couple of years ago so I'm not going to bother with another. It's a stand type charger for beside my bed and the LED light only stays on for a minute, so perfect for nighttime as so any seem to have crazy bright lights constantly on. So good I bought a second one for Mrs S.

I’ve got two conventional wireless chargers, a no-name brand one and a Samsung one that came with the s7 or s8.
The MagSafe type is more of a wired charger the just connects magnetically, like the MagSafe charger for a MacBook.
I’ll report back on the MagSafe charger when the lazy part-time Amazon courier can be bothered to drop it off this evening.

The MagSafe charger works well, it’s a really strong magnetic attachment to the extent I can swing the phone around by the charger‘s lead. I think it will make an ideal car fitting if I can find a way to stick it to the dash (PressStik?).
And this little thing that stowed away in the parcel works quite well as well, clicks to the case with some force and will hold two bank cards. It’s expensive for what it is, I suppose.

I’m not 100% sure I’d rely on a bit of non-slip, have you used one?
You'd think in the day and age all new cars would come with a phone holder of some sort built into the dash. I've had a new Fortuner and a new Ford Ranger from Hertz in the last couple of months and you're still having to put your phone in the ash tray or cup holder.
I've been looking at Takealot this morning. Big choice but no idea wtf is good or bad.
Nope
In the past I used one of these:
That worked great.
Now I don't use anything the car has handsfree.

I really dislike those vent mounts, maybe I’ve just been unlucky but they never seem to fit securely enough and they tend to get in the way of the airflow even if you get them to clip in.
Holy shit. I got the Xgimi Halo projector from Amazon and fuck me it’s incredible. What an amazing piece of kit. Crystal clear on any surface. Here it is on a dark grey wall and that’s just a 720p web rip on the USB. I’m haven’t started to explore it, just setting it up now but seriously impressed so far and I haven’t even got a white screen set up yet.

I'm thinking back to my late 90's projector...

Greg Wallace doing “Inside the Factory”?
What a bit of filmography to start with!
Though I must say, that parcel got to you pretty quickly,
Harrumph. I went co.uk and never even thought to go .com
Ah well, live and learn but no worries. Very happy with this thing.

Love the guy. Love the show. I download quite a few British shows from Reddit and stick them on the USB for portability.
