Did you get this one in yet? I saw this one as well and am seriously considering it.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 breadI 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.

No, I am still waiting for it. They told me it shipped last Monday, which was 7 days ago, and may take 10 to 20 days depending if it get held up in custom. As soon as I receive it I will write a review with photos.
I am going to return my Speck SmartFlex wallet case as I found that I don't like using the phone with it on at home. I just bought and received a Ringke Slim for around $10 with anticipation that it will be thin enough to go in to this wallet from Etsy. If not, I will probably use the phone naked. The Ringke Slim is growing on me. It adds very little bulk, yet it actually makes the phone more comfortable to hold: not cold as metal, but not plasticky or rubbery as some other cases; just a hint of softness and more grip, but still slip in and out of pockets easily. No wonder it got spectacular reviews from Amazon.

cuzo..
I haven't yet decided on this case.
Are you going to get it?
If so, can you review it?
My Hard Graft POCKET IPHONE CASE / HERITAGE just got delivered today. Absolutely beautiful and very high quality of construction. The leather is so smooth and the felt has a nice feel to it. The felt doesn't fray easily and is very compact. Now I haven't got my iPhone 5 yet (crossing my fingers by this weekend) but I was able to test it with my iPhone 4S. Its a very tight fit and wont have any problems with the phone falling out. Although i'm sure if you have a case on your phone the felt material would stretch out with time to accommodate the added bulk. If anyone is interested on getting the case I would highly recommend it. It cost me about $104 shipped and delivery time took only 3 days. I ordered on a Saturday and it came on a Tuesday via DHL.

i like this case, that's what i'm looking for, thanks!
That's a nice wallet but I think they're just too expensive for what they are.
You will find something very close on etsy for one third of the price.
Look here:

I ordered it but it takes 2 weeks to get here. Ill give my thoughts on it when it comes.
Hey guys I'm looking fr a similar pouch/sleeve like this that is identical to the pic posted by josh except it doesn't have the card holder. The design is pretty much the same except it is black and the linings' color has choices. I'm sure that I already saw it but forgot to save a picture of it. So yeah. Any ideas?
Looking good! Possible to post some pics with phone inside? The one side view shot makes me think it might be a little too large, granted it will be shorter with phone inside.
I have a Spigen Ultra Thin Air case for my iPhone 5 and am looking to buy a pouch too as I want something more durable to carry my iPhone in. Any suggestions for a pouch that will hold the phone with the added thickness?

Have you recived it yet? Im thinking about buying one!
I have the same color that came in last Monday. I like it with the white iP5. I also have an alternate black UltraSlim Access.
Been indecisive and have bought 3 different styles of leather cases over the past month since the iPhone 5 release.
Bally Branto
Black textured iPhone sleeve case with card slot.
This was the first leather case I picked up. Great case but the iPhone 5 fits but the top band and power button slightly stick out. I'm sure they'll update it for the new 5.
Makr.com
iPhone 5 sleeve in navy matte Horween leather. Beautifully finished case, nicely padded, and very soft. If they include a card slot on the case like the Bally, this would be the perfect case for the iPhone 5.
LV Damier Infini smartphone case
Exceptionally soft embossed black leather case has a flap to completely encase smartphones of varying sizes.
Its large enough to hold my iPhone 5 with an Incipio Feather or SGP Ultra Thin Air attached. The case isn't convenient if you're pulling out your iPhone a lot.

@212rikanmofo - Can you tell me if the stitches along the insides are uncovered or if it is covered with the quilt?
I ordered a sena ultra slim, but the stitches are open inside along the sides causing it to rub with the phone and make shiny traces - guess a case of form over function.
I've since been looking up for a case with the side stitches outside, but the fabrix ones seem to be harmless with its quilt padding maybe covering the stitches and thus smooth on the inside all around?
Appreciate a response. My phone is naked and taking too much care that I won't be able to keep up in the long run.
Thanks
Ok guys and gals. After weeks of researching I bought a sleeve by Joli. It is BEAUTIFUL! They are a small setup out of the Netherlands and they are great people. Emailed them a few times before buying. Here's a pic of the last "case" I'll own for my iPhone5. Won't be buying tons of cases like I did for my iPhone4S. Naked + high quality sleeve is how I will roll from now on.

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.
Can you give an update on if you're still liking this wallet?
