Smartish iPhone X/XS Wallet Case - Wallet Slayer Vol. 2 [Slim Protective Kickstand] Credit Card Holder for Apple iPhone 10s/10 (Silk) - Black Tie Affair

I’m surprised and impressed by how thoughtfully and skillfully this phone cover is made. It’s rare to find a design product that clearly shows that it’s been thought through in every aspect. It’s pleasant to grip, non-slip, protective, has a perfectly compact and tight card holder that actually adds to the pleasantness of holding it in hand. Also came with a screen protector. Now I understand why this company seems to have a cult following, which I’m about to join!

I just got it today, so I can't really say there's anything I don't like - if something comes up, over time, I will update this review. OK - there is one thing I don't love - the color options. Black is fine, but seriously, there need to be more options. Blue is an option, but it's a weird blue. You can also 'customize' your case, but the options there are, in my opinion, pretty childish. Smartish - please make some more adult options available. Afterall, adults are the ones who typically carry plastic and need/want a case in which to carry it.I am not a reviewer - most items are 'meh' anyway, so there's no point in reviewing. I will, however, review this item, because I literally spent HOURS looking for one that met my specs, and this is the only one, out of hundreds that I reviewed, that met all of my requirements (except color).- I still like it, even after I received it and put it on my phone, so that's promising, as I am a major returner. If I don't like it, it goes straight back. This will not go back.- I like that it's a pretty slim case, even with the addition of the card pocket.- I am right-handed, so I am able to push the card(s) out, from left to right, which makes access easier than some other cases.- The card pocket is a little tight, but I imagine it will loosen up, over time. I also don't want my cards falling out, so too tight is better than too loose.- The card pocket is plastic (or something synthetic), so a PopSocket will stick, and a PopSocket is a must for me.- The sides of the case are textured, for a good grip- There is a little lip around the screen of the phone, so I think it may offer decent phone protection as well- It's reasonably pricedSmartish - offer more colors, and adult options. Otherwise, great case, imho.

Ordered the teal color and it is just perfect. Have 3 cards in the slot and they are nice and snug. Perfect fit for my iphone, the material used is hard wearing yet attractive. Received lots of compliments and I like being able to have my cards next to my phone. Practical as well as looking good! 2020Update: July 2021. Well after a lot of abuse and wear and tear, this case has held up great. Have dropped and lost my phone several times and this case has provided protection and is still looking good after a year of abuse. The slots are still secure and the color and material has held up to all types of weather from -20 to 95 degrees. Probably one of the best cases I have bought from Amazon!

We have gone through at-least 10 of these CM4/Silk 'Wallet Slayer' cases over the years on devices ranging from iPhone 4 all the way up to 8, so I didn't think twice about buying them for our new iPhone Xs and Xr devices. They are great quality, and very easy to hold (more about this later). They can hold up to 3 credit cards without any issue, but if you put in any more it will stretch out the back and then you will have to always keep more than 3 in to avoid any falling out. I am able to wirelessly charge my iPhone Xs (and previously iPhone 8) with the case on, 2 cards in the sleeve (debit and driver's license), and I also typically fold a $20 in half once and put it in-between the case and the phone just to have some cash on me when I need it. It is possible to triple-fold cash in the sleeve, but it interferes with wireless charging and can also stretch out the flap. Adding a 3rd card to the sleeve also interferes with wireless charging, depending on the type of card and how thick it is. For a while, I was also keeping my access badge for work in the sleeve which allowed me to hold the phone up to the card reader instead of wearing a lanyard or leash (this did sometimes try to activate Apple Pay, though lol).The only problem I have with this latest version are the colors, or lack thereof. Previous versions of this case were available in a wide variety of colors, including a Gunmetal Grey which I prefer, as well as Rose Gold and Teal colors, which my wife really likes. Unfortunately, this time they only offer 3 very basic color options; black, red, and blue. Although the blue appears to be more of a teal shade in the photos, I can assure you that it is just plain blue, as we ordered a second one just to be sure it wasn't a bad one. The materials have also changed, for the better in my opinion, however my wife does not like the 'grippy' feel of the newer ones. Although this may make it easier to hold, it also makes it, well, 'grippy', which she doesn't care for. We also got the red one for our daughter's Red Edition iPhone Xr, which it looks pretty nice on, and we haven't heard any complaints from her. Unfortunately my wife's will have to go back, but the rest of us will likely continue to use these cases for the foreseeable future.
