What I discovered with my Atelier Pall wallet was that the overall size was right, it's the shape that needed to be molded, and you can do that by hand easily. This applies to all leather items.
What I meant is in my case the phone pocket did not conform to the shape of the phone at first: tight at the edges and loose in the middle. So I put the phone in the wallet and squeeze the sides and the top to mold it to the shape of the phone. After about a minute it was perfect.
You may find the similar issues with various areas of you wallet. Just fill it with what you normally carry and shape it with your hands. Sure you can just use it and eventually you will get the right shape, but why wait.
Thanks, I received mine today. I ordered a custom grey and black wallet and I love it.
A genuine one off, the stitching and look,of his wallet for he price is fantastic. Highly recommended.
Just to update my post on the Sena Wallet Slim ( https://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16460100 ).
The only other case, which I contemplated, was the Atelier Pall pouch ( as mentioned further up!), which if I'm honest - still looks nice and very tempting (even though I have the Sena!). However, I think, in practise, the Sena (for me anyway) seems to be better. I was out today doing my Christmas shopping, so there I was at the tills waiting to pay - shoppings bags in one hand and with my free hand, was very easy to pull out the Sena Wallet and transfer it to the hand holding the bags leaving my free hand free again to open the clasp and pull out a credit card to pay!!

I imagine accessing credit cards on the Atelier Pall is as easy as the Sena Wallet: sometime I would just pull the credit card out without undoing the strap.
On the other hand , the Sena Wallet allows you to use the phone without taking it out of the pouch.
But then on the other other hand, the Atelier Pall can carry cash which for me is quite important. I live with a Speck SmartFlex Card for 2 weeks and found that it did not replace my wallet completely because I could not carry cash.
But the thing that really pushed me over the edge after using the Speck SmartFlex Card for 2 weeks is that when I no longer need my wallet, my wallet still sticks to the phone and I end up with the this contraption with my credit cards and id sticking out the back of the phone which is not nice to hold compared to a thin case or a bare phone. I found myself removing the phone from the case when I am home which makes sense (why carry your backpack with you when you are home) but then it made me rethink the idea of such a case and decided that perhaps a wallet pouch like the Atelier Pall was better for me.
I think there are pros and cons for every design, and what works for me may be wrong for you.
With the Atelier Pall - is the iPhone quite snug in the pouch? I mean, if its in there and you hold it upside down, will it drop out at all?!
I just got my Atelier Pall case, it came with this other wallet thingy with the case. What is that? Black leather with tan leather over it

Do you think there's enough room for a case on the iPhone while it's in the sleeve?
Anybody interested in buying my portel brown leather wallet case? Never used.
How much are you asking?
My wallet from Portel came in the mail today. This thing is amazing. The craftsmanship on this is superb. Currently, I have 4 cards in there that can fit in an out with ease. But with time, I should be able to get 6 in there.

That certainly looks good - however it also looks quite bulky. Can you get it into your jeans pockets easily when you're out and about?
