The iPhone 5 Credit Card Case Thread

[Rossatron]

is there a good case that can hold more than 2 cards? i need to carry with me a CC, drivers license and entrance card. preferably something that hides (more or less) the cards.

anyone had any experience with this product?

I used to agree bookbook is the highest food chain of folio style iPhone cases. I switched to a different folio case like Poetic Slimbook which is as good as bookbook and cheaper. Admittedly I think folio cases are bulky and result in an annoying flipping mess. The volume buttons are inaccessible without the case being flipped open. So recently I switched to Cazlet which I believe is by far above the all.

their design seems kinda faulty. the iPhone pouch opening should be upside down. by watching their video it seems like it can just slide out and fall while you're talking

got my krome cargo case, here are my impressions:

it holds 5 cards (as advertised). i have 1 CC, 4 other various cards (driver's license etc).

the quality of the case is nice, it is rubberised in texture, but doesn't feel like cheap rubber. you can use it as a stand in various positions, so it's a nice feature.

there is also a mirror inside.

that being said, i think it's too bulky. they could have done without the mirror, and the gap between the back of the iPhone and the case itself (they advertise this as a place to hide paper notes).

for $39.95, i feel it is a bit overpriced for what you get, and it needs some improvements.

also, the back has two grooves that correspond with 2 lips to close the lids. while it closes properly, the right side is more tight than the left, and if you press on the left side, you can see that the case (at that side) has a little bit more to go (it sorta squeaks).

in total, i would give it a 3/5.
