I've had the Speck CardCase on my iP4 and felt it's been a pretty solid case. Want to add the iP5 version to your list? It's available, $35.

I noticed that no one has commented on the Axis. It has 3 slots for cards and a pocket for cash. Any drawbacks to that wallet case?
Hey Andy, if you don't mind me asking, how does this case hold the cards in there?
The site says it will hold 3 (most only hold 2) plus cash.
But what if you have only 1 or 2 cards. Are they loose in there or does the case get stretched out?
Any info you could provide would be great as I have been debating a wallet case forever and want to make a decision very soon.
The plastic that holds the Iphone inside of the Hex cause broke and started cracking with minimal use. I sent it back and got my money back. I woudn't recommend it unless they made a drastic design. If you take your phone in and out which you had to if you wanted to even use the camera at all because it lacked a hole.
Can I ask how many cards the iLid can hold in that compartment without it hindering the closing of the case?
I am strongly considering this case, and I too, have already ordered a cheap bumper to hold me over.
Thanks for any further info you can provide.
Hi Rat-Boy
I currently hold 4 credit cards in mine although the 4th is quite snug. You cannot hold cash in this configuration as it simply won't fit.
I will definitely be waiting for their iPhone 5 version having studied this topic for an extra day or so

Hi Rat-Boy,
That is correct. 2 in each side. The money clip itself pops off / out if you exert too much pressure on it but it can easily be popped back in.
And now for the stupid story of the day. So my iPhone 5 arrives, I go to the telco to get a nano sim, sweet. I go to another store for the interim case. No problem.
Go home, restore iTunes backup from 4S, make some calls, go out to dinner with my wife. Take shiny new iPhone 5..... and leave my licence, credit cards and other photo ID in my iLid case that's still on my iPhone 4S that's sitting on my desk. I told you I couldn't live without the iLid. I just know my cards and ID are always with me. Fortunately my wife had her credit card
Doesn't look like any of these that don't cover the screen can hold 4 cards and cash. How do you all get away with 2-3 cards? You have your CC, DL, insurance card, and in my case, special ID card but surely most would want to carry something else even if they didn't have a secondary ID card...AAA, debit card, etc.

I've wondered about the same thing. If I'm going to merge my wallet and phone, I need a case that will hold more that two or three cards. As Sweet Brown would say, "Ain't nobody got time for dat!"
In my current wallet, I carry my driver license, concealed carry permit, MasterCard, American Express, BoA ATM card, medical insurance cards, etc. I'd really love to have a BookBook for my iP5, but I'm not convinced it would fit my needs.
