[Compilation] iPhone 5 Walletcases/Leather/Pouches/Sleeves

Just got my Spigen Crumena.
Looks and feels really nice, it's a snug fit but not very hard to get in/out.

Seems to not add too much bulk but you can tell it will protect the phone if it's dropped. Also, the micro fibre inside is very soft! 😛

Will post pics tomorrow if anyone wants.

The paranoia within me dwelves deep! maagnets & components.
 
I caved and ordered the killspencer card case for the iphone5, I'm excited because it gets here tomorrow! I'll let you guys know how it is

I have never ordered any Hard Graft product and was very tempted to order something for my 4S and even more tempted to buy something for my 5.

The only problem is I just can't justify ~$100 for a pretty basic, thin, minimal, leather case. Yes I realize it is handmade and the materials are top notch and I should support small business, but not necessarily overseas.

I came across Dodocase which has a similar offering (mostly canvas instead of wool and some leather) and just decided to go that route. They are a small business that dwells within U.S. borders and they seem to have a really great product.

Those are my thoughts - coming from someone who really admires Hard Graft but finds it a bit overpriced for what it is / so few reviews on the stuff.

In conclusion, I bought a pretty nice iP5 wallet + an iPad book case for basically what I would of paid Hard Graft to ship me one minimal wallet.

(PM me for discount code on Dodo)
 
iP5 Cases: And the winners are ...

My Picks (after 2 weeks of being totally naked):
Colcasac (shipped)
Pcaro (ordered: pending)
One of Sena's wallet cases on backordered (will definitely buy)

I'll post my reviews once I get them.

It's obvious how I separated the pretenders & contenders then eventually picked the winners, just looked at them. 😀

Am also strongly considering the iLid and Guitar Amp Stack Marshall.
 
Just ordered the Dodo sleeve and Waterfield's Hint. Hint has shipped. Dodo, not yet. Hope it ships soon as I quite like the look of it. 🙂
 
I figured there weren't enough cases out there yet, so I would craft one myself. Introducing the Mocca-Case! A great thanksgiving weekend moccasin inspired case.

The texture on mine is fantastic. I love that it is distressed and scuffed. It will develop a nice patina over time and I am looking forward to it.

The stitching and attention to detail is amazing. Not a stitch out of place and it really is a professional job.

The fit is snug, but that is what I want so that the device doesn't fall out. It will accept two cards and a couple of bills as well.

Loving this pouch and glad I purchased it from this seller on Etsy. I would rather give my money to someone doing their own work than some company that is churning out mass-produced cases. The other great thing is that no two of these cases will ever be alike.

Not bulky at all which was one of the attractions and as evidenced by my clumsiness yesterday by a 4 foot drop onto quarry tile - it protected it very well!
 
Just got the bodyguardz sleeve because it was only a few bucks more since there is a combo with the pure glass screen shield. Overall very happy, nice leather sleeve with a nice suede interior.
 
looking for microfiber pouch w/clear front (iphone 5)

i have a sfbags hint and love the front window but not to thrilled with leather.

anyone seen something similar in microfiber? thanks

I would also be interested in feedback from anyone who has used a hand graft case for their phone. Any pics (even of a previous iPhone model) or comments on bulk or fit would be greatly appreciated.

Received mine this week. The dark felt/brown heritage option. Absolutely beautifully made (as I'd expect from Hard Graft - I've got one of their iPad cases).

The fit is snug (phone doesn't fall out if held upside down), but not so snug that it is difficult to remove - its easy enough to either grab from the opening, but the rigidity of the new leather combined with the felt means it isn't so easy to push up from the bottom. The phone sits a little below the top of the sleeve too so it is well protected.
Size wise, well it obviously adds some bulk, but will still comfortably sit in a jeans pocket.

As for photos - the ones shown on the Hard Graft site (even though its the 4S version) do the case far more justice than mine ever could. 😉

Thanks so much for the feedback! When you say you got the dark felt/brown heritage option, do you mean this one?

http://www.hardgraft.com/products/phonefoldwallet-heritage

Does it work well as a wallet also? Is it much bulkier than a typical wallet? Sorry for so many questions. They look so nice but I have no way of seeing one in person.

Nope. This one: http://www.hardgraft.com/products/pocketphonecase-heritage. It does have a card slot which would take a couple of cards/notes but I don't use it. I can definitely recommend the Hard Graft stuff - it isn't cheap but is super quality, and hand made in Italy.

Their wallet cases (the one you linked to) are supposed to be very nice too, although I don't have one myself.

I have that wallet for the iPhone 4/4S and it's very nice actually. The only thing about it is that I have the All Grey version, and it's not as dark as the pictures on the site. But the wallet is definitely very nice, it has an overall snug fit, and it'll loosen up to the phone's shape over time. Been using it for almost a year, but ever since I got the iPhone 5, I'm wondering if I should get the iPhone 5 version, or try out something else for them just for a change.

FTW! (I actually couldn't have said it any better myself 😎)

Sorry if I missed it, but does anyone have a lead on if/when Sena will release an argyle for the iPhone 5? I absolutely love the one for my iPhone 4, and I am continuing to use it with my iPhone 5, until they release an updated version.

Anyone have any idea? Sure would love some info!
