Reviews for Twelve South BookBook Case for iPhone 5

I love this case! People are alway complimenting me when they see it. They think its a book or a Bible. I have NO problems with people hearing me or I hearing them when having a conversation. As far as the comment stating that it doesn't close, it does close after putting a few business or credit cards in the wallet side, which what it was made for.

I'm thrilled with this iphone wallet! I previously had a knockoff version that wouldn't close and could only hold two cards, which just didn't work for me. I'm glad that I took the chance on ordering this, even though it was more expensive. The leather smell is wonderful, but the most important part for me is that the spine is crafted like an actual book. It is stiff and already made to account for a full wallet, so it will lie closed even when it has cards and cash in it.

The full wallet fits in the breast pocket of my coats and the back pocket of my jeans, so I can always carry the essentials without needing an entire purse.

Of the 1000+ Item I have purchased in the Apple Ecosystem, this is the FIRST one I have decided to review. That should tell you something about how much I love this product.

I was skeptical at first buying this because of the price and reading the reviews how much bulk it added but on a whim I bought it anyway and I love it. I have gotten a lot of great compliments on it. Yes it is a little pricey, bulky, and it can't close if you stick your money in it but the feel and make of it is a reason why of the price tag is high but hey if you love to brag on a much nicer case then buy all means buy it. I have the brown bookbook with a white iphone 5 and it looks good! Very pleased

This is better then I thought it would be. It is very well built with top grain leather. Talking on is slightly different since there is a noise canceling mic and you may get some muffling, if you completely fold over the cover to talk. Just leave a small gap. Nothing is perfect but this is close. I love it!

I use this case when I travel for business or pleasure, it holds your license and cards needed for the trip. People do not know what it is which is why I love it.

First day of having this wallet/case, I had a few gripes:
-The wallet would not close all the way unless I put the phone face up and the weight closes it. It really bothered me.
-Very uncomfortable talking on the phone. Wasn't sure how anyone could hold the phone.
-No place for cash. It's too big and won't let it close on me.

Having the case for a month, I can say I like it!
-The wallet fully closes now whichever side I put it on.
-I learned that I needed to fold back the case with the credit cards and such sticking out. The case gave grip to the phone and now I feel uncomfortable without it.
-Still no place for cash, but I feel like it grew on me. I carry 3 credit cards, my license, and a couple receipts and it's more than enough.

Overall, I would recommend the case, but it does take getting a little use to. I'm the type of person that always forgets either his wallet or phone, and having two in one makes forgetting both much harder. It is a little thicker in my pocket, but I've gotten use to it, and I don't need to worry about having my keys in the same pocket as my phone anymore!

A++ would recommend!

I love this latest BookBook. The snap in case is an improvement over the old slide in type of the 4s version. I also like the camera hole and the fact i can hold more cards is a plus. You can't go wrong if you get this. It eliminates the need for a phone case and a wallet. I have one on my MacBook air and my New iPad, awesome!!!!!! I get a lot of complements when people notice it.
