Review on Dockem Luxe iPhone X/XS Wallet Case: Stylish & Functional Slim Card Holder – UltraGrip Canvas Synthetic Leather, Black & Grey by Rudy Santos

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great SLIM wallet case with 9 months update - still 5 stars!

Review updated 8/2019 I've had the case for about 9 months. For a $15 case it was awesome and took whatever I threw at it and I went back to order my second. I re-read my original review and got a few updates. 1) When I was new I started with my DL (Flat) behind my phone in the case and 2 flat cards (MilID and Debit) in 2 outside pockets. These bags will stretch with time and patience (and a bit of forcing, lol). I currently have 2 raised numbered cards (debit) in my bottom pocket, 3 raised numbered cards (credit) in my top pocket and now I have my DL and additional ID (both flat) and sometimes $10 behind the phone in the case : ) It holds them all and I feel secure with it until there is even a hint of it falling out and the case staying in place. I've only added a card here and a card there over time when the pockets started to loosen up a bit. However, the corners of the case pull back slightly from the bottom corners of the phone (probably due to the 2 cards tucked inside between the case and the phone). This didn't even happen after more and more cards were added to the case until about last month. So this case had carried 7 cards (combination of flat ID type and enhanced credit/debit type) for a good 8 months before the case finally said "enough already". Oh and sometimes I stack 10 or 20 behind the ID case lol. 2) I don't have a screen protector on my X. I don't know why, I just didn't do one this time. Having said that, this phone and case has been dropped many times and even covered in cards and the bottom just started to peel off the phone, it survived every drop with no scratches or dents. 3) Just 1 thing I want to mention. Mfg, that should raise the edge around the glass part a little more. It is now slightly higher flush. I often put my phone screen down/card up and I'm afraid I'll eventually scratch the glass. It hasn't happened yet (9 months) but it always worries me. Yes, I could put a protective film on the screen, I just don't like it. That being said - at $15 the case lasted 9 months, with 4x the number of cards the manufacturer claims I would say I am very happy with my purchase. .Your experiences may vary but these are my honest thoughts/experiences on the case after 9 months of use :) Original Review 10/2018 makes sense) because I rarely had to pull it out for anything so it was a possibility to make room for other things in the two slots. Then I put my spare debit card in one slot and my work ID in the second slot. That's literally all I need. Apple Pay is accepted everywhere in my area (except Walmart), so I use Apple Pay 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time I carry a spare debit card, and I haven't shown my DL to anyone in years, so it's just hidden in a suitcase. I have it when I need it, but it doesn't take up valuable space in a 2-slot case. The case itself feels good in the hand, has just enough firmness, doesn't feel slippery, doesn't give me any trouble getting it out of my pockets, etc. You could "maybe" put 2 cards in a slot, but not 2 Cards in both slots. Both my debit card and work ID are flat (no embossing or numbers) and fit perfectly. With only 2 slots it keeps your phone really slim and not bulky like some wallets (folio!). When rated and reviewed, I'm asked to give stars based on durability, giftability, and comfort. I rate it 5 stars for both convenience and gifting, but I can't rate durability as I've only had it for about 2 weeks. So far I think it's ok, but I'll report back in 6 months (or sooner if necessary) on how it's doing. case for $15. I don't expect it to last for years but I expect it to last at least 6 months with daily use.
