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

[-C-]

^ that looks nice, thanks for posting, just ordered the double-sided brown leather one.

I like the stitching and that it's not all the way to the top so you can reach in and grab the phone...maybe one handed after it loosens. Also like from the pix that cards and cash will be completely covered and easy to get to with a snap. I dislike having to claw stuff out of slot-style holders. Checks all the boxes with me.

This one

You've got great taste in iPhone wallets my friend.

Mine is coming!

Did you get yours already?

Mine is coming!

Did you get yours already?

Nope! I think it is a good two weeks away. On 10/29 I received a message saying "it is shipping!" The message also said 15-25 days

Whaddya going to do?

I'll post pics when it comes.

----------

Mine is coming!

Did they give you an estimate when it will arrive? Also where is it going? Arlington, VA USA for mine.

Here we go.. Got some pics with the girls iphone.

Do you think the elastic band could be removed without damaging it? I really can't stand those bands, which is why I preferred the bookbook over similar cases.

I got the same email on 10/29!

Then when I checked on usps.com using the tracking number in the email - "Your Item Status: We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece."

I've seen that status for a couple of days now.

----------

On that note, Fortte UPS shipped my genuine leather book case. Got it in 2 days after they shipped it. Am using it now. It is pretty well made, elegant and perfect fit etc.

----------

But among my cases, I feel like Brussardo is the one am gonna use the most often.

Fortte is similar to Navor but so much better and more elegant.

----------

Our Brussardo is being shipped from Bulgaria / Europe. Am guessing we will get it in 2 weeks - theirs a very conservative estimate. At least it is not made in China hehe (which I know when I ordered ).

It took 2 weeks for my e-bay orders from China/Hongkong to arrived in my place. If am not mistaken about the same time from anywhere in Europe.

----------

Mine is being shipped to Tampa, FL.

Do the phone slip out of the sleeve or is it tight enough to hold it? And do you think it will be too loose after wear?

One Stars goods looks great.

It loosens up a little once some tracks develop from each side of the phone sliding in. However, I can still hold the case upside down or by the phone and it holds tight. It is a very good fit. And, it is very slim because it is stitched on one side only. The sleeves with stitching on both sides have a larger profile.

I got a one star case on Oct 15, see post 344 in this thread. It is has loosened a little, but still holds the phone firmly enough to keep from falling out of the case.

Anyone get this?

Brussardo Shipping Update

I went back to look at my notification email from Brussardo and discovered that the shipping number which works on the USPS tracking site also works on the Bulgarian Post site! Link here.

Here's a screenshot from the Bulgarian Post tracking results. The last entry is on November 2 almost a week ago. (FYI: I ran the second part of the status through google translator and it is the same status in Bulgarian.)



Anyway, If the package left Bulgaria on the 2nd, I am hoping it is in the states soon! And then the tracking starts on the US Postal Service site!

I know...much too much time on my hands.

 

[iAi]

Cool, mine has the same status as of 11/02. Prior to seeing your discovery, I was hoping to receive it end of day tomorrow. It's more likely next week, me thinks/predicts.

----------

Am delighted by the very positive reviews I am seeing on Brussardo leather wallet cases for iP4s.

Point me towards them!

 

[iAi]

Of course, it is not perfect but let's see what they came up for iP5 - already a winner to me for the looks and my style.

I just replied to McRumorMongers take on it. Refer to a thread with subject "_____ and Brussardo"in this sub-forum.

Oops sorry about that. This is the one I'm getting. Can't wait to get it! What I like about this is the fact that I can put the phone upside down when I have my earpods plugged in and I can also use it to rest my iPhone on when I'm out lets say at a restaurant eating. This way I get to use my iPhone naked in all its beauty with protection when it's in my pockets, and I think it looks great!

Did you end up getting this sleeve? I was considering getting it.

 

[Macaroooon]

Ohh, I have a question about Colcasacs - I wanted to buy the Uintah for my iPhone 5, and there is the option of buying it with a thin shell - what is this?

My replacement iKonic edge sleeve, New Zealand serge grain leather, very soft and exceptionally slim case.

That is one great sleeve. Omg, you make me want to buy one so bad now. Is this color 'dark brown' ?

Damn..this is as sweet as it gets.

Yes it is dark brown they do Tan, dark brown,black and white, and also a slightly different version to accommodate credit cards.

I had the previous version for the iPhone 4/4s and the leather gets better with use and age.

I did so good with my 4S and only bought an Element Case accessory case for $9. I haven't done so well with the 5.

Here are some pictures of the Hard Graft Wallet, Adimaa Wallet (Etsy) and the SFBags Wallet. I switch off using each since I can't decide which one I like the best. In each one I put my driver's license, 2 credit cards, AAA card and my medical insurance card.

Hard Graft Wallet: Really nice quality. The leather and felt are thick and soft. It is super easy to remove cards from the felt pocket. I spread them out with some towards the left side and some middle and some to the right. It is just a wide open space. I haven't placed a card in the left leather slot. When you close the wallet it has a real tight snug feel to it. I like using the wallet wide open as a placemat while using the iPhone at a table or desk. No cons with this wallet.

Adimaa Wallet: Also, really nice quality. I chose over the similar Brussardo because I like the dark gray color of the buttons on the Adimaa wallet. The leather is thinner than the Hard Graft but just as soft. The wallet pockets are nice and large so you can hide your cards from view. The spacing of the female buttons is exactly the distance to fit your credit cards in between. To snap the buttons it takes just a gentle press with a finger. Not so easy to unsnap, you have to place your index finger in-between on one side and your thumb on the other. Not a problem, but different from closing. When you close this wallet it has a loser feel to it when compared to the Hard Graft, but the iPhone is nice and secure. I also us this as a placemat. No cons with this wallet.

SFBags Wallet: I really like this wallet and having the ability to see what is coming through on phone while still inside is nice. You can even use the phone while it is inside the wallet. The area to hold your cards is by far the best of these three. There are two spacious card slots and an open area for cash. The only thing that bothers me with this wallet is the plastic front sticks to the iPhone screen when I remove from my pocket. I didn't take a photo of this but it sticks in spots, so it looks like as if a screen protector is on the screen with a ton of air bubbles. I just unzip and lift the plastic and re-zip.

Any questions just let me know. The pics are so-so. I tried to get artsy to compete with some of the other photos posted here, but went a little too far. If you want to see a new photo of anything in particular, just ask for it.

Here are the rest of the photos.

I use the Ozaki O!coat-Nature the lightning one. Love the silver color. Very nicely made. It also has an insert in the front for a credit card or ID.

Awesome post! Is your phone naked when using the Hard Graft or do you have any case,. screen protector or bumper? Thanks

 

[darrinS]

I do have a Phantomskinz protector on the back and sides.
