Otterbox Introduces New iPhone 5/5s Case With Space for Credit Cards and Cash

I like it!

So now when you lose your phone, you also lose your wallet at the same time! (And vice versa.)

Theives will love it!

Hilarious. I never understood why people by Otter boxes at all. They look huge and hideous.

A single bill? That seems... Useless.

Clunky and overrated. So many better choices out there for a fraction of the cost and I don't mean cheapo cases either... OtterBox is the Beats of cases, only that now Beats has improved its repertoire.

I suppose you could say that with one fewer thing to look after, maybe you'd be less likely to misplace it or be careless with it.

*I* don't use an Otterbox. I put Otterboxes on hand-me-down devices I give to the kids, to protect them from the inevitable drops, etc. But they are also popular with people who need a ruggedized case due to their work environment.

Just in case putting your iPhone in a regular otterbox didn't make it bulky enough.

Somewhere, Jonathan Ive sheds a single tear.

I used a BookBook for about a year. I liked losing the wallet, but it added a lot of unnecessary bulk. I switched to the Safe Wallet a little over a month ago and love this case. It allows me to hold more than the 2 card limit most wallet cases have (I have 5 and bill) and it has a secret stash spot for emergency cash. Great case.

What a Piece of junk. It transforms the slimest Phone to date into a qube. Why not put in a tent and sleeping bag and condoms and whatnot?

That makes sense.

I can't tell you how many people around my office use the biggest, thickest Otterbox cases on their iPhones. I don't get it.

Talk about all your eggs in one basket.

Try this out

Pass on this company. Seems LifeProof cases are much nicer.

I have a wallet that has a smaller "sub-wallet" that I remove when I don't need my full set of cards. The "sub-wallet" is just two "card window" bits connected together. (Similar to, but not the same as, this one.)

In the two-section removable bit I keep my photo ID, one credit card, and a (folded behind the ID) $20 bill. Everything else goes in the main wallet. If I know I'll need more cash, I'll either make it two $20 bills, or a larger bill. When I get change, it goes loose in my pocket.

I don't use just the sub-wallet often, only if I'm "dressing up" to go somewhere, and the full wallet would be intrusive. This has worked fine for me up until now.

The idea of a slim phone-wallet I could replace the separate even sub-wallet with would be good - although when I use the sub-wallet, I tend to use a slimmer phone case, too.

And, of course, Case Mate makes a similar case for less than half the price...

Speck or Case-Mate both have better implementations of this.

You do realize that OtterBox owns LifeProof right?

What is this "cash" you speak of?

That does seem like a way better and more useful case than this otter ... thing.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Because keeping cards right next to a mobile phone never caused any problems, right?

And now when I misplace or lose my wallet-phone, I'll actually be able to track the whole thing down instead of only being able to track my phone. Sounds like a win to me.

I know!
It's a one time use bill, you can't put change back into it. I guess if you just want to keep a spare $20 hidden away this would work I guess.

Ever been married? Work construction? Have kids? Live near the beach? In a dusty place?

I agree-I love the clean, minimalist look. Our iPhone 5's/5s' are soo gorgegous-why cover it up in an ugly box.

Each to their own...
