The 10 best iPhone wallet cases

Not only do wallet cases protect your phone from damage, but they also cut down on pocket bulk. The best iPhone wallet cases keep your cards and cash easily accessible and come in a variety of designs and materials to match your style and how much you like to carry. The picks below come in several sizes to fit different iPhone models, and some are even compatible with wireless charging for added convenience.

What to consider when choosing a wallet case

Some of the most common materials used for iPhone wallet cases are leather, faux leather, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), and polycarbonate, and your choice depends on both durability and aesthetics. Cases made from TPU or polycarbonate are durable and often have a sleek look, while leather cases tend to have more of a traditional wallet style. Real leather is fairly durable on its own, but for extra longevity, many leather cases also have a polycarbonate core or added cushioning at the corners to protect your phone’s most vulnerable spots. Finally, faux leather is usually less expensive than real leather, but the material may crack over time.

Some cases below are compatible with wireless charging. While a wireless charger probably won’t affect the magnetic strips on your credit cards, you might want to remove your cards before charging to be on the safe side, and some cases even have detachable wallets to make that easier. Also, if your iPhone has MagSafe technology, there are phone cases that are designed to be compatible.

From snap-on to folio styles, scroll on for the best iPhone wallets — and find the right fit for you.

1. This extra-durable polycarbonate case

Pros

• Military-grade durability
• Has a stand in the back
• Made of vegan leather

Cons

• Some reviewers aren’t able to charge their phone wirelessly with this case

The dual-layer polycarbonate shell of this wallet case has been tested using military-grade guidelines to be able to survive 26 drops from a height of 4 feet. The wallet portion of the case is hidden under a magnetic flap that doubles as a stand. The foldable flap is made from vegan leather and can hold up to three cards. Another winner according to nearly 3,000 five-star reviews, the iPhone 11 wallet case (shown above) comes in a choice of three colors.

One positive review: “Very sleek and well designed card holder. Holds 3 cards with no problems. No slipping when on surfaces and the look of the case is really well done. If someone saw it they wouldn’t know that it was a card holder too. I had some worries at the beginning of use since it is a magnet that keeps the wallet portion closed, but nothing has ever fallen out during drops or every day handling. I have had mine for a few months now and it still looks new.”

Compatibility: iPhone 11, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12/12 Pro, iPhone XR

2. A MagSafe leather wallet from Apple

Pros

• Compatible with MagSafe chargers
• Has “Find My” technology
• Crafted from tanned and finished European leather

Cons

• Doesn’t provide any phone protection

Though not a case per se, this leather wallet attaches easily to any iPhone or phone case with MagSafe technology, and it’s easy to remove for wireless charging — but it won’t protect your phone on its own. It also supports Apple’s “Find My” function and will alert you to the wallet’s last location should it be separated from your phone. The smooth leather wallet is available in five colors including golden brown and sequoia green and will fit up to three cards.

One positive review: “At first, I was a little worried that it would easily detach from my phone; however, I haven’t had any issues at all! [...] Although it’s $60, it’s worth it. It’s quality leather and it’s compatible with Find My Device!! Every time I detach the wallet and leave it somewhere, it notifies me and tells me where I left it. Something else that is neat is that when you attach it to another magsafe compatible iPhone it will tell that user that the wallet does not belong to them!”

Compatibility: iPhone 13/13 Pro/13 Pro Max/13 mini; iPhone 12/12 Pro/12 Pro Max/12 mini

One positive review: “I keep my two most important cards on me at all times and so most of the time I don’t have to worry about a purse, and I love it! This case lasts forever (I had the first one three years) and protects your phone through literally anything - I’m a little clumsy, I’ve tested it time and time again. The sliding piece never wore out which I’d worried about, but turns out I didn’t need to be.”

I can’t count how many times I’ve silently cheered (ok maybe not cheered exactly) when I went to pay for something online and it asked for a code of some sort and I remembered I have that card in my phone case, as opposed to going to search for my wallet in my giant handbag of everything you can imagine and then sifting through 100 cards. This is so convenient!”
