Nice iPhone 5c sleeve

studIOS5 said:
Just picked up this snugg iPhone 5c pouch in distressed brown leather for around 20 bucks. It has an elastic strap that also has a magnet on the logo that you pull on in the back and I thought I'd post my thoughts here. I really like pouches as they allow me to use my phone without a case while still protecting it in my pocket and also providing a place to set the phone on many surfaces. The elastic strap feels nice and easy to pull on and also incorporates a magnet to keep it sitting flush with the back of the pouch. The inside is a microfiber and I don't feel like it's going to scratch my 5c. I would for sure recommend this case to anyone looking for a pouch.


Ps. It has a lifetime warranty incase the strap fails.

...just got the same case, in black, for my iPhone 5.

Brilliant pouch...!!! The phone fits in there quite nice and snugg (hence the name!!) and the pull tab works flawlessly - love the way it is held in place on the pouch with a magnet, to stop it flapping about (like a lot of other pouches seem to do!!).

Only negative I would say is that the credit card slot is extremely tight and in practice, trying to get your card in and out of these is quite difficult!! No biggie for me as I have a separate wallet/gadget (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1985701011/minimo-a-slim-wallet-with-a-difference) for that...!!!!

I agree with everything you stated! The card slot is a little snug but I'm finally satisfied with a case and that was a tough task to tackle. I've had every iPhone since the 3g at one time or another and while it seemed there were many more accessories available for iPhone when compared to other phones, I still found most cases weren't what I was looking for. This pouch is perfect! I get to use my phone without a case while still having a place to set the phone down when its out of the case and having a place to slip the phone when its in my pocket. The card slot is just an added bonus. I pretty much only use it to house my university id card for when I go to the gym here, and for that it works great!
 
Just in case you were wondering what other colours looked like, I picked up the grey and here are some up close pictures.

These pictures may not be the best but they were taken with my old galaxy s2!

...is it me or does the flap on the outside of your pouch sit in the centre of the width of the pouch?!:confused:

On my iPhone 5 version, the flap is on the left hand side.......!

Either way, its the best combination I have settled on - it allows me to use the phone naked whilst still being able to keep it in the case when its not used! I also like to keep my 5 facing the other way around, in the pouch, to the way you have it (I have the tab facing me when I pull it - this way my phone comes out facing me!)

Erm... I suppose it does sit in the centre. Is that a bad thing? Lol
 
Had mine for a few days now and am absolutely loving it. Great case and I really like the pull tab to access the phone. Great find OP!

thanks! I'm glad people are liking it. I was shocked that I couldn't find any info to read up on on this site before I took the plunge but I'm sure glad I did! Best 20 bucks Ive spent on any iPhone.
 
Quite a few of my colleagues at work are jealous and want one for their phones. They see the practicality of having our staff card on the front to allow us to have our card at all times!

Too bad they have HTC devices! Lol
