Any Iphone case that also doubles as a wallet?

cant wait to see them.

when your package was shipped did you get any sort of tracking number or was it just sent and you just got it without any tracking information?

Added the pictures to my earlier post.

re: Shipping- I didn't get tracking or routing number. I expected it to arrive late this week so I was pretty surprised to find it in the mailbox Monday (morning at that).
 
im excited to get my black one in! it still says "processing" i ordered LATE last night, im hoping i can fit 3 cards + my cpr card without having to stretch out the leather pocket. the leather looks really nice, is it some of the best quality leather you've ever seen?

im curious to see if you can get it to fit with the black case you have.. i have a crystal airjacket but as soon as this case comes in i think im going to drop it.

sucks about the tracking.. but i guess it will be a surprise when i get it in the mail!
 
I'd say the leather is very nice. It's soft and fairly thick- esp when compared to the super cheap leather case I was using (in the pics). I'd say it's about the thickness of the leather on a nice leather coat. Inside lining is very soft.

I've actually gotten the case stretched to the point where I can fit the iPhone with the Back Cover attached pretty easily. Although the Back Cover is not rubber, it does stick pretty well so this makes getting it in and out still a bit hard. I would guess that with another night on the stretcher it will be good to go.

Re: the card pocket, I've my electronic work badge- which is slightly more that twice the thickness of a credit card, my drivers license, and two credit cards in there. These all fit very well with, and without, the phone in the pouch. Seems to be no risk of things slipping out.

Overall, I think this is going to be just what I was after. I'm still getting used to not having a std wallet with me though.
 
great just what i wanted to hear. looks like $50 well spent. hope it gets to me soon! i wish i would have ordered last week so i have it in time for class starting on tuesday.

i carry a coach business card case/slim wallet, basically has 3 pockets.. i like them more then wallets since i dont EVER carry cash. and if i do its maybe one 20 dollar bill.

its going to suck giving up my alligator card case for a $50 case (yes i know the coach is WAY over priced) but hopefully the $50 quality is up to my standards.
 
Good luck. Sounds like we ordered out exactly one week apart then- so my guess is that you'll get in Monday or Tues of next week.

Post some pics when it arrives. I went back and forth between black and the dark brown. I'd like to see the black.
 
what part of USA do you live? im in ohio..not so sure how far away new zealand is lol.

i hope monday because class is tuesday
 
I'm in OH also- in the Cincy area. Sounds like the delivery time should be about the same.
 
Do you mind, putting up some closeup pics of the pouch with cards and phones tucked in.

Also i would like to know.. in one of the pictures i see you have tucked in a card, which seems to be partially out of the pouch, my question here is, by any chance do you think that the card/money cud slip out of the pouch by accident!!? Or can the cards/money be tucked away securely without the card slipping out of the case??

Also, wanted to know.. is there any warranty on the product?
 
Here are some closeups of the card pocket. There is the equivalent of 5 credit cards in the pocket. They stick out just under 1/2 inch.

I've got my case pretty well stretched out at this point and even with the phone out of the pocket there is still plenty of tension to hold the cards in. They would come out if you really tried to shake them loose - but only if the phone is not in the pocket. With the phone inside, there is no way they will slip out by accident. I'm sure that if you stick 20 dollar bills in there and stretch is out a lot, you'd have a problem.







 
umm wow u really got that stretched big time. i hope it took alot to get it that stretched ill be pissed if it gets like that just by putting the phone in/out
 
Krusell Orion 3g wallet ruined my cards!

This week I ordered the Krusell Orion 3g wallet case:

I really like this case; nice leather outside and soft lining inside. I really love the slide in hardcase for my iPhone. The screen is fully accessible without edges. The fit is snug, but it's still easy to get the phone out to make a longer call.

From the beginning I noticed the strong magnet holding the case together. I really liked this feature a lot untill..... I tried to get money at the ATM. My card was screwed! I tested it at other shops and ATM's; also no result! Then I tried my Visa card; also didnt't work anymore.

Am I really the first one to have this bad experience?

I'm sending this case back and am still looking for that nice wallet/ iPhone case combo which doesn't ruin my cards.

Yes- I've been stretching it pretty hard core for the last 4 days. It def took some work so I'm sure it won't just stretch out on it's own- so I think you'll be happy - although you have been using some cheap Coach products so who knows. :)
 
I am really impressed by this pouch.
Reason being, i am not interested to have a pouch with a flip which has a button attached to it, which adds bulk to the pouch thus creating making you feel erratic in ur pocket, neither i am willing to go for a bulky holster wallet...
This one is particularly impressing me, cos of the sleekness and the smart way cards (specially the driving license) which can be tucked in, it wud be an ideal situation with one drivers license, a credit card and maybe a small amount say.. a fifty dollar note tucked in.. which can come handly when you are always on the move, and dont wish to carry purses when moving around the neighbourhood.

One last question i have...
Is there a way, that a single card which looks out of the pouch can be covered with the upper mount of the leather flip.
 
juding by all the pictures ive seen thus far, here and other sites.. no, the top 1/4 inch of the card will be exposed.
 
was posted in this thread already, didnt seem to get rave reviews on any review site.
 
got my black one today, i must say i am slightly disappointed.. the leather quality seems cheaper then what i am used to.. but then again i do have high tastes, it is very soft leather. the credit card slot is not evenly stitched across, ill post pics later. i will be returning this case/wallet more then likely if i can find something similar but better in the next 2 weeks.

Gosh, I reacted too early and ordered the pouch two days back. I wished i had seen ur post today and then choosen not to go for it.
Lets see, if my pouch also looks the same as mentioned by you i am gonna to return it back. By the way thanks for the heads up.
 
update with pictures.

still pending my review on this.. going to see how well the case fairs over the week, but as you can see the pocket where the cards go is not straight across, my gf says thats because its hand made, i say it looks like cheap chinese trash... time will tell how i feel about this.. remember my expectations were very high, maybe too high. as im used to coach products. this leather is VERY soft.. not a big fan of that, i light tight/firm leather.


anyways here are some pictures.

So what did you decide?

I like the black. I agree that the card pouch stitching looks a bit off. Mine is not that bad. Cards cover it anyway so it does not bother me. I think the most difficult thing for me has been getting used to not having a wallet with me.
