Portenzo Alano Wallet iPhone 6+ Update

I really do think that once the leather wears in a bit it won't be as stiff and bills will fit unfolded. IMHO, the quality is 100 times that of 12South.

Edit: and I have no idea why this stupid thing keeps putting the pictures in upside down.

That looks nice. I ordered the special edition white wallet case for my 6+ and can't wait to get it. I also ordered a vaja agenda that should be here soon. Does it feel real bulky with your cards inside the case?
 
A little, but once the leather wears in it'll go down. If you wear slacks or cargo pants it's no big deal, tight fitting pants I don't think it'll be comfortable.
 
Okay, now Im pissed!!!:mad::mad::mad:

I live 4 hours from the Portenzo office and because of the Fedex shipping they chose I wont get my order for a week?!?!:mad: They could have shipped it via USPS and I would have gotten it in 2 days, and it would have been cheaper! FML!
 
Anyone that has one of these I have a stupid question, how the hell do you get the phone back out of the inner case? It's so darn tight I'm afraid I'm going to bend the phone trying to remove it for cleaning etc. I've tried several times and I'm just afraid I'll bend it, it's THAT secure!

Ha! I struggled with this exact thing today - hurt my thumbnail in the process.

What I ended up doing was wrapping a butter knife in a little microfiber cloth (to keep from scratching the phone) and inserting it in the BOTTOM of the case. Just kind of gradually worked it in there while applying a little bit of force trying to life the nearby side of the case, and it basically just popped right off.

I feel your pain, though - I'm so nervous about bending my phone that it took me hours to figure out a way to apply the pressure necessary to get the case off safely and without bending or scratching the phone.
 
Got mine in yesterday - I mostly love it, although I have a few minor complaints. Pics are attached below (sorry about the lighting, it's horrible - the true color is kind of like a warm gray)

I thought of that, but was too squeamish, lol. After hearing of all the bending issues I didn't want to risk it!
 
Anyone tried to take their phone out if the plastic case?
Good luck with that. Might want Applecare+ before you try.
 
I got mine out yesterday. It did take about 10 minutes and a lot of prayer. No scratches or bending.
 
I just received my special edition white wallet case from portenzo yesterday. Here are a few pics of the case. It does add some weight but that was expected. I usually throw my phone in my purse so it's not really a problem for me. I was able to fit 6 cards total in it. It does have 2 more pockets for bills or pics. I really like the quality of the leather. I also have a vaja agenda on order so we'll see which one I end up liking more.

Hi all looking at ordering one of these cases to the UK. Just had a question about the IntelliStand, does anyone have a picture of this in action?
 
Anyone else get theirs? Did they raise their prices? I could have sworn before it was $110 with the Intellistand and now it's $130 with the Intellistand :(

They raised the prices right before Black Friday. I ordered in early November and paid 100 plus shipping with the intellistand. There was a 10 percent coupon out there which may still be valid. Google Portenzo discount or Portenzo coupon.

Ah yea that's what I was looking to pay before I decided to knock most of my Christmas shopping out early. After the coupon and before taxes+shipping it comes out to $117 for the iPhone 6 Plus with the Intellistand. I might wait a little and see if the prices go down again.

By the way the coupon code for 10% off is X24E9 if anyone is interested.
 
Are you guys overall happy with the case considering the price? 110/130 seems pretty tough.

I'm looking at this or the dock artisan (70), but I have a coupon code which brings it down to 50.
 
Anyone have it for the iPhone 6 Plus? I was reading that accessories with magnets or metal may interfere with the image stabilization that's found on the iPhone 6 Plus. Also that it interferes with Apple Pay. Anyone who has the iPhone 6 Plus variant care to chime in on this?

I have 2 of them (Alano Passport & Diablo) for my 6 Plus and have had no issues with OIS or Applepay.
