I got my first iPhone in 2014. It was an iPhone 5c that checked the “budget" and “handy” boxes for a freshly-minted high-schooler. Since then—and not that I’m bragging—every phone I’ve owned has been an iPhone, all the way onto the newfangled, all-attitude 14 Pro. While I always skipped a generation in between, I did not miss the beat at getting an iPhone case for each model—an iPhone wallet case, to be exact.
It was a level-headed decision: an iPhone is a daily essential you use with hands, cards are also daily essentials you use with hands. Get it? They’re practically the same thing (I'm reaching, I know)! Why keep them separate when I can use a phone wallet case that both safeguards my device and carries a few cards? Need I really be up against the world with a chunky bifold that’ll bulge out my pant's pocket, and then stuff a six-inch gizmo in there too? I’ve got to condense!
So, save some space, man. Not everyday is a bring-your-bag-outside kind of day. And these 17 best iPhone wallet cases, from the slim to the folio to the bag, will help you travel light. We’ve also researched iPhone model compatibility and what to look for so you don’t have to. Go ahead. Condense.
