What leather sleeves are y'all using / plan on using? Any recommendations? I am interested in getting one for my X, but have never had one before. I do not want a wallet case - not by a long shot.

Got mine today. It’s quite slippery though

I had this one for my 6. The new version for the X is a little looser fitting, which I like. It has two slots for credit cards on the outside. I managed to replace my wallet. I like that the phone slides out, so you don’t have a wallet hanging off your phone when you use it.

Just keep in mind to not hold it upside down. Depending on how many cards you have, they can fall out if loose. I found that I could stretch the one for my 6 to the point it easily held 3 cards in each slot. This one is loose enough that I didn’t have to stretch it out. The phone could slide out if you held the sleeve upside down too. Just don’t hold it upside down, and you’re golden.

As an added bonus, I noticed a review on Amazon said it works with wireless charging. I just checked, and it does!

Awesome! Even better!

I don't mind the loose fit, I just want to be able to use the phone caseless and not have to obsess over the screen getting destroyed by pocket debris.

I always use sleeves from Joli Originals but this time I will use the iPhone X with a slim clear case for a couple of months. Then later will use Skins for my iPhone X and will use a sleeve. Probably will order a sleeve from joli originals

https://jolioriginals.com

I have one sleeve ordered from Waterfield Designs. Ordered one to be used with a case.

https://www.sfbags.com

Will also look for some more options from etsy.

Need sleeve with good padding or cushion in case the phone drops while in the sleeve. It will help to give extra protection.
 
Hi.

As I wrote in the another iPhone X sleeve thread,

I’m searching for a beautiful and luxury sleeve for my iPhone X too.
But it’s not easy.

I found this one by Sena : https://www.senacases.com/products/...-iphone-x?variant=51910127812&d=1&cache=false


And another one by Lucrin. You can choose the type of leather, colore and you can add your initials embossed in leather.

I’m not totally satisfied so I continue to search the St Graal.
If you have a y idea...

Is there any reason that you are walking away from Julio?
 
I have 2 joli sleeves which I used for my iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 7 Plus. I can still use them later if needed. They will be slightly bigger but can manage.

Better try other sleeves for a different look.
 
The Sena sleeves are very nice. A colleague has had these in the past.

My preference is for these from https://ryanlondon.com/
I have one for MacBook, iPad and now X. The quality is superb and the weather well and last. Can choose form a limited number of colours for the leather and the lining and also add monogram if wanted.
Can’t recommend them enough.

I may try their sleeves. Cheaper than Joli sleeves.
 
Anyone have suggestions for a leather sleeve that can be used with a very thin back case?

I can tell you what worked for my X. I have the Apple Brown leather case, and a Sena Heritage leather sleeve. It comes in black as well.

https://www.senacases.com/products/...case-iphone-8-7-6s-6-plus?variant=51175173828

Order the Sena sleeve for the 6+/6s+ (its in stock). The Apple Leather case for the X fits perfectly in the 6+ sleeve. You should have no problems with a thinner case.

I’ve used the two together for long enough now that I can remove and replace the X from the sleeve, keeping the sleeve in the pocket at all times. Not a one handed operation, but I’m good at it.

Wow, thanks for the suggestions! I am going to take a look and will update once I get my sleeve.
