I've ordered the Puhama one. Hard Graft looks amazing as well, but I feel that it would be a tighter fit... Puhama looks more promising in terms of adequate room for the phone, cash, and cards.

I'm thinking about ordering the Puhama as well but I'm concerned about the low number of sales the vendor have.
Will you mind sharing your experience and, maybe, some photos when you have received the wallet?

Thanks.

Definitely! I'll do an update when I get the case.
It hasn't shipped yet, but the communication with the seller has been excellent so far.
 
Do you have those pics to post? :) Thanks in advance.

Alright, I took two pictures so you can see the thickness of the case. The first one is with my cards inside and the iPhone 4 outside, so you can see the difference in thickness between the two.

The next picture is with all of my 6 cards inside with the iPhone 4 also inside the fold wallet.

Notice how it's slightly "open" if you will. This is what I'm talking about. You can only put so much stuff in there until the fold wallet will have a trouble closing up properly and then you'll "feel" the thickness. Six cards is the max, maybe you can get away with a receipt or two until you really start feeling the wallet in your pocket.

I'll take more pictures later today so you can see the stretching the cards and the phone caused over the course of a year and also so you can see how the All Grey color isn't how they imply on their site. :)
 
Regarding the Zipper Case guys!


Hi,

Our current zipper case will not fit the new iPhone 5 since the new phone is longer. At this time I do not have any information if we will be selling them for the new iPhone 5. Please keep in touch with the latest news from Element Case on Facebook, Twitter and our website (www.elementcase.com). Thank you and have a good day!

Best,

Cristina Rodriguez

Huh? I have a zipper case from my Vapor Pro from my iPhone 4... The iPhone 5 fits just fine.
 
Awesome cases, check out ours too

Thanks for the list of awesome cases. We are coming out with a line of iPhone 5 wristlets and wallets end of November as well and hope to make this list too. Meanwhile, check out our leather iPhone 4,4S Wristlet and Wallets and please let us know what you think. http://bellavitausa.com/case-collections/vita-collection.html

Thanks a lot for the pics! Seems pretty bulky with both cards and the phone. Can you show any pics of the length of the wallet in relation to the phone? I'm just trying to gauge if its a realistic option for me or if the final outcome will be too cumbersome and defeat the purpose of combining my wallet and phone sleeve. Thanks
 
I ordered this

The one I ordered has 3 compartments total: middle sleeve for the phone sandwiched by 2 pockets, one on each side of the pouch for cards and cash. My order was shipped in a couple of days even though I placed it on a weekend. It will take 5 to 10 days to get to the US. Of course I have no idea how well it will function, but I am convincing myself that it's the best thing since sliced bread :D I have looked at many other designs on Etsy, but for some reason this one speaks to me: quirky, unusual, but practical at the same time. A handmade thing like this for $41 is pretty unbelievable when you think of how much a massed produced plastic, rubber, silicon case from a big name company goes for nowaday: $25 to $35.

Currently I have a Speck SmartFlex Card. It's OK but I find that I like the option of carrying cash, plus I find myself taking the iPhone off that case to use it at home because while that case is not bad, it is a bit thick and the back with the cards in there and the cut out is not as nice to use as a naked phone. Mind you, it may be ideal for others, just not me.

These guys have some really great iphone 5 cases. I bought the orange slip case and its the first case that is truly "Orange".

Leather work is excellent.

Any opinions on Hard Graft? Wanna be absolutely sure before I drop £80 on it...

I had the hard graft fold wallet and the grey is not grey. Also I found that anything more than a couple of cards and it was too swollen/bulky.
It's not worth £80. You will find something very similar for far less on etsy.

Read this too late. Ordered the iPhone 5 card case since I am actually just looking for a sleeve and not a sleeve/wallet. Seems slim enough. And it's all black so no problem with the grey part either. Hope I don't regret it though.
 
post some pictures please.

I can post some as soon as I get home if you want, but unfortunately I'm in the middle of a replacement process so I don't have an iPhone 5 right now, just the case. If you still want the pics anyway let me know :)

I must say if feels very nicely made, the materials are good, and in case anyone is worried about this, there is no way it can scratch the iPhone (I mean, the material the inside is made of is very soft and it doesn't have any labels or anything weird, it's just perfectly smooth).
 
man I'm torn...

Basically between the sena utlraslim and the waterfield iphone hint. I just wonder how slim and protective the hint is. It looks a little baggie, does the phone fit nice and snug inside? Love the window, but makes me question the protectiveness.

The ultraslim looks nice and protective. It's the look I like. Simple, basic. But that window on the other is nice if there aren't any drawbacks.

Does anyone have the hint that can give a review? The ultraslim has already been mentioned enough to know that it's going to be the go to sleeve if the Hint is lacking.

Thanks!

At this point I'm happy PayPal didn't work when i took the decision to go with the grey wallet.

Here you go.

Now, it is a great wallet, and it's definitely good when you don't have that many cards to carry around with you, but once you start putting as much as it can handle, it'll make that huge rectangular stretch mark like you see in the picture.

Another thing, notice how it's not "All Grey" like on their website. I don't know what color that would be but it looks like a pale brown mixed with grey. They should definitely note that on their site.

Thanks for the photos.

No problem man.
 
For those looking for an all in one leather case, I just found this one. Says the iPhone 5 version is coming this month, but not sure when.

Do you think this would do a good job against drops from waist height? I don't have applecare.

looks nice please post pics when it gets here? If it can fit a iphone with a bumper I'll buy it.
 
Really wish someone knew were you could still order the "Keeper" case that seems to have originated on Quirky.

This case seems ultra minimalistic and right up what I want. I have browsed etsy 50 times over the last few days and might just have to go with something that only somewhat appeals. I am not dropping $100 for a case that is "okay".
