An iPhone wallet case is a must-have if you want to go about your daily routine without toting around a bulky wallet. These accessories will conveniently hold your essential cards, cash, and ID in one place while protecting your iPhone from scratches and drops.

　　Every iteration of Apple's iconic smartphone has always gone hand in hand with an incredible selection of cases, including wallet-replacing ones, and the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro — the tech giant's latest and best yet — are no exception. As always, the abundant ecosystem of accessories includes wallet cases.

　　With an overwhelming amount of great options to choose from, I'm constantly combing through iPhone wallet cases to keep an eye out for the best worth buying. For this comprehensive guide, I focused my research on highly rated products from well-known accessory brands like Bellroy, OtterBox, and Spigen, to name a few. Then, I tested the accessories in real life alongside my go-to iPhone.

　　What to Consider

　　Capacity

　　Capacity is the most important thing to consider before buying an iPhone wallet case. Most of the products we picked have enough space for a few essential cards — and, in some cases, cash and receipts. However, if you're looking to replace a big ol' wallet, be mindful that your iPhone might become unwieldy.

　　Durability

　　You can choose between iPhone wallet cases with or without folio display covers. The latter offers superior protection and a larger storage capacity than a snap-on case. However, they are also significantly bulkier and more unwieldy to use with one hand.

　　If you are particularly worried about breaking your iPhone, look for a wallet case that meets or exceeds military-grade durability standards. Usually equipped with a folio cover, such a product will make your go-to gadget almost impervious to accidental damage.

　　Charging Compatibility

　　Apple's exceptionally convenient MagSafe technology, in addition to charging your iPhone, will allow you to expand its card storage capacity with magnetic attachable cardholders. Therefore, if you own an iPhone 12 or newer model, you should keep an eye out for cases that support this standout feature.

　　It's important to be mindful that iPhone wallet cases with a folio cover are typically the only ones that have built-in magnets. Wallet cases without folio covers for storing cards don't have MagSafe, but they might work with wireless chargers. You'll just need to remove your cards from the case to begin charging.

　　How We Tested

　　I’ve been reviewing smartphones for over a decade, and protective cases have always been part of my testing journey. At this point, the amount of covers I have put through their paces over the years is well into four-digit territory. With iPhone wallet cases being popular with consumers, I have consistently paid close attention to this particular niche of products.

　　For this guide, I carefully selected wallet cases with various form factors, storage capacity, and levels of durability — from bulky wallet replacements to minimalist card holders. I used every product for a week, paying close attention to its design, ergonomics, and overall tactility.

　　Of course, the products’ ability to safeguard the iPhone from accidental damage was also a factor. I made sure every case could at least keep the pricey gadget damage-free in case of light drops, bumps, and scratches.

　　Based on our criteria, these are today's best wallet cases for the current iPhone lineup, as well as older models like the iPhone 14, the iPhone 13, the iPhone 12/12 Pro, the iPhone 11, and the iPhone SE. Our list includes everything from reasonably priced, slim protective cases to splurge-worthy rugged covers made of virtually indestructible materials.

　　The iPhone wallet cases I handpicked are durable, stylish, and equipped with enough storage space for essential cards and cash. All the products featured here will help protect your iPhone against drops. Find the one that best suits your lifestyle and budget among these thoroughly scrutinized offerings.

　　Magnetic clasp is easy to misplaceShop for iPhone 14 Shop for iPhone 13

　　The Nomad modern leather folio is the best iPhone wallet case, thanks to its thin profile, exceptional fit, and luxurious finish. The MagSafe-compatible case has card slots and a bigger pocket for cash and notes. Its shock-absorbing bumper can protect your iPhone from serious drops, while its interior has a microfiber lining to prevent scratches.

　　The clicky metal button covers of the leather folio are a benchmark for excellence. I particularly like the cover of the power button — its textured finish adds more unique character to the case. On the other hand, the cover’s removable magnetic clasp provides enhanced protection when the iPhone is not in use, though you should be careful not to misplace it.

　　Nomad offers the case in black or brown for the entire iPhone 15 lineup. A version of the folio for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 families and older models is also available.

Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 Case for Phone 15

Tons of colors and patterns to choose from

Reliable drop protection and gripCons

Not compatible with MagSafe and wireless charging

The elaborately named Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 case is the best for replacing a slim wallet on the cheap. It offers excellent protection and a handy card slot on its back, with room to spare for some cash. I particularly like the product’s sides with grippy texture, which made my iPhone much less prone to accidentally slipping out of my hand while texting on the go.

It’s important to note that the Wallet Slayer isn’t compatible with MagSafe or wireless chargers. However, I believe its generous storage capacity and agreeable price tag more than compensate for this shortcoming.

You can order the Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 in a multitude of colors, ranging from understated to impossible-to-miss to fully customizable options. It is available for the entire iPhone 15 lineup. You can also order it for the .

　　OtterBox Strada Series Wallet Case for iPhone 15

　　Pros

　　Fashionable design

　　Incredibly tough build

　　Sturdy folio closure

　　MagSafe-compatibleCons

　　Modest storage capacityThe Strada Series case by OtterBox is among our favorites because it delivers the company’s legendary toughness — its drop protection vastly exceeds military drop-test standards — in a stylish and slim package. Each iPhone wallet case is finished in genuine leather in either black or brown.

　　I like the product’s metal latch for keeping its folio cover closed, though be mindful that its pockets can only hold a couple of cards and folded bills. It's not likely to fully replace your wallet. Thankfully, the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro version of the case is MagSafe-compatible, so you can expand its capacity if necessary. MagSafe support is missing in past product iterations, so it’s a welcome upgrade in the latest one.

　　Otterbox offers the Strada Series for the entire iPhone 15 lineup, as well as for the and the . The case is also available for older iPhones like .

　　Not compatible with wireless chargingThis inconspicuous iPhone wallet case by Spigen is deservedly one of our favorite budget-friendly options. For around $20, the Slim Armor CS can securely store up to two cards in a backside compartment with a sliding cover. The product's price-defying design and slim profile make it a great fit for big-screen iPhone Pro Max iterations.

　　The product's dual-layered body offers top-notch drop protection, all while maintaining a pocket-friendly build worthy of its name.

　　This iPhone wallet case by Bellroy impressed us with its high-quality leather finish and discreet pocket for up to three cards.

　　Pros

　　Limited storage capacityMujjo's leather wallet case deserves pressing the "buy" button for offering an incredibly slim design and a luxurious leather build, all at a very agreeable price. Like all Mujjo products, the leather wallet case will make your iPhone elegant and functional without adding bulk that will impact its ergonomics. Starting below $50, the accessory is reasonably priced, too.

　　The cover's slim fit and excellent metal covers made it one of my favorites in this highly competitive product category. However, you should know its slim profile impacts its storage capacity — you can only carry your most essential cards in its pocket.

　　The case has raised leather bezels to guard the iPhone's screen and an aluminum ring to protect its camera. The nifty bit has the same finish as the leather. In addition to being functional, it adds character to the cover.

　　This version of the case is also compatible with iPhone 15, iPhone 14, and iPhone 13. You can order the product for the , the in several leather colors. Mujjo wallet cases for the iPhone 13 series and countless older models are also available.

　　Easy-to-access card compartment

　　Tough build

　　Convenient magnetic mountCons

　　Not compatible with MagSafe and wireless chargingYou'll be hard-pressed to find a more low-key iPhone wallet case than the Scooch Wingmate. It looks like a typical rugged case, so nobody will notice it rocks a card compartment hidden underneath a discreet cover. I was genuinely impressed by the setup because it is practically invisible when not in use — rivals are nowhere near as stealthy as the Wingmate. Being able to use a card as a viewing stand was also convenient during my testing.

　　The case also features a built-in steel plate, allowing it to work with magnetic car mounts, among many other accessories. Such functionality is typically unavailable in wallet cases with back storage compartments, making the Wingmate even more appealing. However, MagSafe and wireless charging aren’t available.

　　With textured side grips and military-grade durability, the case is as tough as it looks. It is available in several colors and patterns — from flashy to understated — for the entire iPhone 15 lineup. Scooch Wingmate cases for , , and are also available.

Meticulously handcrafted using soft American leather, the Traveler wallet case has unique artisanship that makes its rivals look generic. It lacks plastic, and its unique fit will add tons of character to the iPhone, all while reliably protecting it from damage.

　　The case’s RFID-secured wallet compartment has space for two essential cards, and it doubles as a viewing stand. Impressively, the moving wallet also makes the product compatible with MagSafe chargers. I enjoyed combining the stand functionality and MagSafe to use my iPhone in Standby Mode — a handy iOS 17 feature — while I tested the case.

　　The Traveler Leather Case is available in chestnut and whiskey brown for the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Versions for older iPhones are also available. Each case rocks a discreet signature of the artisan who made it.
