Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like this wallet for iphone except.

I've changed my preference for iPhone cases from hard plastic or wood to leather. My last case lasted about 2 years and then started to get ratty. My wife suggested this case because she loves it and the handy credit card/DL slots. You have a phone, you can drive and you can pay for things. I rarely have to take a real wallet with me. Now"except". This wallet has 2 card slots. The top is very comfortable. It's easy to pull out a card or DL, and there's even a "window" so you can pop it out with your fingers if needed. BUT the second slot is longer, so theoretically your card can stick out and you can pull it out too. But the second slot is deeper and your credit card etc can disappear in this longer slot and you cannot remove it with your fingers. I often have to resort to tweezers, forceps or my favorite grip, the hemostat. But it negates the usefulness of this slot and increases my BP every time it happens. The builders of this case should move the bottom edge of slot 2 to prevent this. I ended up folding the business card so many times that it was about 3/8 inch in diameter and stuck it in the slot. Now my credit card won't go down the rat hole. This case is quite soft, a slight bulge will not cause noticeable changes. Everything else is excellent. The leather is of good quality, so far there have been no accidental tears in the case and I tend to drop my phone about once a month. The magnetic closure clicks into place. As others have said, charging can be questionable as the casing around the lightning connector is nice and tight on old-school pre-induction chargers. You have to use thin lightning cables and wait for a ping to make sure it's actually charging. I have several cables with large molded plastic ends that won't dock. Flicking the silent mode switch has never been easy, but even boys with short nails can do it after enough swearing. The other buttons are shaped as iPhone button extensions and work well. You can feel that in the tactile feedback. The edges of the screen are just what you need to protect the edge of the iPhone and not protrude too much. However, be sure to use a screen protector as this case does not prevent damage to your face. So overall very pleased but the card slot was a pain. Doesn't affect the iPhone's normally poor cellular performance and Bluetooth works fine. I use ApplePay a lot and have never had a problem with the case, even with these beautiful credit cards encased in solid steel or titanium. So I'm sticking with this case for the foreseeable future.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • so far so good
