    cool case, just don't take anything cash with you...

    • Written by from Hawthorne

    I bought this case thinking I could replace my wallet and carry everything in 1 place. Sadly, this case doesn't get the job done. If you put 3 cards and multiple dollar bills the case becomes to wide/fat to close. Now I understand that is what the band on the back is there to help, but what happens when it eventually breaks off due to the stress of holding the case closed with cash in it?? Now, when you remove all bills and leave just the ID's, everything fits just right. I decided I would still keep the case and use it when I go out and don't want to carry a bulky wallet AND phone case.

    Def not a everyday use phone case.

    Great idea, poor execution...

    Had this case for 4 months. I dropped it recently, and it did it's job - it protected my iphone. However, one of the corners that holds the phone in place cracked, and now the case is useless. Would have thought the design was a bit better than that.

    Boght a bookbook, it's bigger but doesn't have plastic clips to break.

    Good case, just a warning.

    Great case

    I first bought the 12 south book book, but found it much too bulky, I also didn't like how it put pressure on the screen when fully loaded so I returned it and got this case instead.

    It's a great case. I use it with one card, which when placed in the top slot doesn't contact the screen. The case flips open in a very innovative way, with the band keeping the case enclosed (doesn't reveal your card). You only need to open this case fully to use the nice large camera access or to use the card. This is not clear from the pics or YouTube reviews. There is a built in fold in the case, so when you want to use the screen you 'slide' the phone out, with the band holding the case closed (the side holding the phone faces inside out while you use it). This is hard to explain, and if you don't figure it out you would think the case was awkward to use- it's not!

    Overall, this is a great case, really tidy and good quality, and ideal for my needs of carrying just one item to shops and excursions. I don't know about long term quality as there is only one week of wear and tear on it so far.

    Good and functional

    Fits perfect (not easy to get the iPhone out again, but thats not bad for me) and it doesn't add that much to the phonein comparison to the BookBook from TwelveSouth for example.
    Leather feels stiff and hard first, but breaks in quite fast!
    Everyone who buys a wallet case must be aware that during phone calls the cover must be folded back (i don't see this as downside)

    I'm afraid the rubber band will break after some time but seems to be fine so far

    I LOVE IT

    • Written by from Norwalk

    I LOVE this wallet case. Yes, it is difficult to remove the phone from the case but I think that allows the phone not to easily fall out when you drop it. It even has a camera hole in the back so you do not have to constantly take it out to take pictures (like my previous Michael Kors one). I love how theres a elastic band to hold everything together. I've gotten plenty of compliments! If this one wears out, I would purchase this one again. I've had many cases and this one is by far the best. Love how it looks like moleskin. Practical. Classy.

    Nifty iphone 5 case

    • Written by from minneapolis

    I initially was looking at the bookbook case, but opted for this instead. The slimmer profile (open and closed), soft binding vs hardcover style binding,, and elastic closure made the difference.

    The case makes the phone much easier to hang onto, and the elastic strap can be used to hold the flap behind the phone while using it, or over the closed flap for additional scratch/knock protection. The size overall is still very pocketable.

    The frame holding the phone in is extremely secure and has a very low profile wrap around the perimeter, which makes text input much easier, especially with bigger fingers.

    Fits IPod Touch 5th Gen

    • Written by from Del Mar

    Purchased for use with new IPod Touch. Fits great but just a small gap on top to edge. Just insert 3 business cards between IPod and case for perfect fit. Like it so far but just purchased today. Very nice case overall!

    fashion over (sensible) function

    it looks great dont get me wrong, but having the raised numbers on your cards pressing against the screen of the iphone isnt great.

    the stand functionality is laughable

    irritating that you have to either contend with the flap, or tuck it behind the phone when speaking or using the screen.

    this one is going back to the store

    Perfect wallet/iPhone case

    • Written by from El Cajon

    8 of 10 people found this useful

    This case is really great. It's a genuine leather and feels great in the hands. I really don't get what other people in their reviews are saying. People are getting mad that it adds bulk to it and is difficult to get out? First of all, it's an iPhone case and a wallet. Do you expect it to be as thin as the phone itself? The size of it is perfect. It's thin and feels great in the pocket and while using it. Second, the snap case inside it is made with a soft nice material that will definitely not scratch you phone and is securely held in there. It is a little difficult to get it but not to bad it all. It takes about a couple seconds to pop it out. Overall i love this case. It provides great protection and holds the perfect amount of cards and cash. I no longer have to carry my wallet which is great. Hex is an awesome new company that provides protection and style. Their great in the skateboard community which is super cool as well. I'm a skater myself so major respect to hex.

    Pros and Cons

    • Written by from Elmhurst

    13 of 20 people found this useful

    I got this item in red in apple store.
    PROs:
    Its classy.
    Protects the screen of your iphone.
    You can put your card or money in it.
    CONs:
    Its super hard to take the phone off of the case.
    Must require a headset or on speaker mode to answer or make a call not unless you want other people to see your cards or your money once you flip the cover. If you dont intend to put your card in the case then you should be fine.

    Great case, but nearly impossible to remove.

    I bought this case for travel and weekends out because on a daily basis, I like being able to quickly access information on my phone. The case looks great, works nicely as a stand, and it's convenient to carry along cards. I tried it on my phone tonight and when I went to take it off, I was faced with an aggravating, difficult task. Not only did I break two nails, the back of the case that's leather started coming off just from trying to remove the phone! I finally got it off safely with a plastic spoon and did not harm the phone or the case, but what a trial! I'm undecided if I'll keep this case for this reason, despite really wanting to love it.

    Great Case

    • Written by from Athol

    46 of 53 people found this useful

    This case is so convenient. It's a little stiff at first, but it breaks in rather quickly. I have a card in each slot, cash and five business cards in the cash pocket. I keep it in my back pocket and am always sitting on it. The case keeps it nice and protected. The phone is also easily removable so I can take it out and use it in my car dock. The multiple viewing angles aren't great. Theres only really two: 90 degrees and almost flat.

    Annoying

    • Written by from Tampa

    44 of 67 people found this useful

    While the case may look great, it is a pain when making or answering calls. If you are not using headphones or the speaker, you will need to position the flap holding your cards behind the phone. This is extremely annoying and it adds bulkiness to the phone.

    The case is a pretty great protector and wallet. I know it says that this case is used for an iPhone 5, it works perfectly for an iPod touch 5th generation. This is the only case that fits the iPod 5th gen. Keeps my screen clear of scratches and use it when I just need my debit card, drivers license and emergency credit card. Also holds some cash. Looks great, not slippery and gets the job done!

    the wallet is right, hard to handle, hard to deal with. the leather is sturdy. The rubber band is annoying, but no other way to keep the case closed. putting any cane of card in the wallet will leave a mark on the screen protector. not impressed, and not worth the money at all.
