    Got this about 6 months ago the rubber around the front of the case peeled off and then the leather was no longer sticking to the plastic had to replace it looks nice and a great idea but the materials used are cheap and don't last Unfortunately it is the only case/card holder that the apple stores sells would recommend looking online at other sites for a better one not worth the 40 bucks

    I can't believe some of the reviews on this product. I've been using a Solo since I first bought my iPhone 4S. I gave it to my wife and she was delighted to have something this convenient that has lasted as long as it has.

    Look, let me share a hidden secret about leather: Leather creases, scratches, fades, ages and eventually degrades. It's a fact of life. When it's a bag, they call it character; when it's a case, it's a travesty to these reviewers.

    Well, sorry folks. I don't agree. a well worn case is like an old doctor's bag: No less sleek, and oozing with character and story.

    As for Solo's functionality, I realized that leather STRETCHES, so I jammed 4 cards into it, then 5 cards, and kept it in my front jeans pocket until they stretched enough for them to work. Eventually it did, and I now have an adequate wallet replacement (license, memberships, bank/credit cards) for simple things.

    I have a charger with a holder in my car, so on long trips, I pop it out of the case and drop it back in with ease. I live in the cold, so everything is done with gloves for 8 months of the year.

    Don't fall for the nonsense reviews here. A little common sense and some life-hack simplicity, and this case will last as long as your phone.

    Unless you drop it. Then you're done for. ;)

    I like this case it works. I only use it when I don't want to carry my wallet, so I don't use it 24/7 because I don't think it is the best case to protect my phone. The one corner looks weird and sort of deformed, and it came like that. Like I said I only use this when I don't want to carry my wallet or go out and only use a small purse.. I tried the speck case that holds cards and I returned it because it was too bulky and hard to get off the phone, and this was the next best card holding phone case that I have kept.

    Not worth the money.

    Initially, the case is beautiful. Its leather finish is very nice and complements the phone quite well. However, the card holder started to fray the first time I put a card in there. It is not properly designed to hold actual cards.

    Avoid this case.

    It's slim and keeps just what I need, right where I need it.

    Some speak to the fact that if you lose the phone, you lose your whole life (assuming you keep a credit card and ID) but thinking further into it, what wallet has Find My iPhone? I'd rather keep them together as it's less to keep track of and easier to find!

    I would like a 3rd slot, but not really be possible without adding bulk.

    This case does it all. It protects the phone, is sleek and looks good, but best of all, is functional. It will literally be your wallet and as a man, I just use that case and my money clip. Love it. It really is the best.

    Terrible

    The cheap plastic in the case nearly stained my white iphone black on the edges...it took me 20 straight minutes of nonstop scrubbing with some cleaner and a cloth to remove the damage. Being that cases are supposed to preserve a new phones look and this happened on the second day of its use, I found this case terrible as it left my phone in worse condition than if i had used no case at all.

    Doesn't last very long

    I wrote a review on this product back on february 2012 having it for only two weeks. Now that I have had it for five months now july 2012, i have to say that this doesn't last for something that costs quite a bit of money.

    Pros: sleek, has slits for cards (practical), soft leather, frame is sturdy.

    Cons: bad build quality, rubber trim came undone within 5 months, stitching on the underside of the slits at the back are coming undone as well, can't put in paper money because it sinks at the bottom of the slits making it SUPER DIFFICULT TO GET

    Poor quality case

    I bought this case in January and it only lasted me for four month. The corner piece of the case broke and the leather pieces that were glued on plastic also came off. This case is just a waste of money and of a very poor quality. I would not recommend it to anyone.

    After facing the need to replace my 2nd Hex Code wallet within 6 months, I have to say this is not the product to buy. Though the idea of combining your wallet with your phone is lovely, since you have both with you anyway, and a nice stylish leather one is ideal, this case comes apart rather quickly. The threads break free, then the wax edgings around the leather edges come off, and then the plastic corners that hold the phone in place split.

    great idea but doesn't hold up

    • Written by from Santa Barbara

    The concept of the thin case holding a couple of cards is spot on. However, I've had my Hex Solo for a mere 4 months and it's falling apart. The leather has worn through to the plastic inner case around the rim. Due to its high cost, I am resorting to glue to stretch its usefulness. I wish I could find another brand that employs the same feature.

    Lovely... While it lasts

    I got one in December in British Tan, which was approx. 5 months ago. Got loads of compliments on it, it's slim and it looks very smart and I used the card holder all the time for my subway fair card, but... I can appreciate that leather goods acquire patina with use, which I was expecting, but the other components of the case just don't hold up after several months, even after gentle use... They used like a rubbery material for the edge of the case, which wore away exposing the plastic underneath. Also the little vinyl divider for the card holder came undone and I had to fish it out of the holder and re-glue it. These things said the actual leather itself has held up nicely, it's just the man-made materials that they could improve on. It wouldn't have stopped me from buying one in the first place over an ugly plastic thing, I'd just like to see Hex eventually release another version that would address these things... since I'd buy another if they did.

    Have had iphones since 2007 and this is the best case I have ever owned. You have to feel it in person to see how thin it really is, only the apple bumper is thinner. I get compliments from everyone about how great and efficient it looks. Price seems high but you are essentially buying a leather wallet AND an iphone case in one, trust me it is worth the 40 bucks.

    If you are afraid of "losing your life all at once" then maybe this case, let alone the iphone, is not for you. If you are responsible then you will have no problem. Most of us rarely drop our phones let alone leave them hanging around. Out the pocket, in the pocket, it's a phone not a toy.

    Just a tip: put your ID in the back slot and your card in the front slot (money won't work as well it will take too long to keep folding it up and tucking it in there). You will rarely pull out your ID and since you use your card so much you can pinch off the ID in the back making it effortless to grab the card. Also give it a few days to break in. The first day it was hard to get the card out but now it fits snuggly but comes out easily when needed.

    Absolutely love this case. Enhances iPhone form while remaining slim; barely notice it's there. Phone is easier to handle now. Leather quality seems good. HEX must have updated the design because I can definitely fit 2 cards, and the case does not get in the way of the charger while plugged in (contrary to 2 other reviews).
