iPHONE WALLET CASES
1. Mous Limitless V2 w/Wallet (Get 20% off by using the code: MobileReviewsEh20 @ mous.co)
PROS:
-Removable case is EXTREMELY TOUGH
-Cash elastic
-Card slot on the back of the case
-Wallet accessory ~could be used with another case
CONS:
-None
iPhone accessories are suppose to make your life easier. Most manufacturers do a half-assed job with their designs and it shows. Mous takes a different approach and tries to figure out HOW to make the iPhone as useful as possible.
Mous’s eco-system of accessories is smart and useful. And their cases are INCREDIBLY tough. Don’t believe me? Watch the full review: • RE-REVIEWED! Mous Limi...
2. Burkley Magnetic Detachable Leather Wallet Cases (mreh.ca/2KNYbDu)
PROS:
-Real leather
-Removable case
-higher than average card capacity
-has cutout for front facing speaker
CONS:
-Bottom edge is a little sharp
So much leather. So much HIGH quality leather. If you appreciate the finer things in life, the Burkley case isn’t going to offer a great, real leather iPhone handling experience!
3. Zover (mreh.ca/2KI4yYI)
PROS:
-Real leather
-Sim card expansion
-Magnetic mount compatible
-Slim
CONS:
-Thin case
-Can’t hold as much
Out of the top three wallet iPhone cases, I would say that the Zover product is the budget product that still uses REAL leather.
4. TwelveSouth BookBook (mreh.ca/2KKjiGO)
PROS:
-Looks unique
-Real leather
-Removable case (sort of)
CONS:
-Bulky
-No latch
The BookBook is a staple when it comes to iPhone wallet cases. The latching feature is neat.
5. Silk Innovation Keeper of Things (mreh.ca/2KHYWOd)
PROS:
-Cheap
-Wrist strap
-Different type of latch
CONS:
-Cheap?
-Not real leather?
The most affordable case in this list. The latching system on this product is quite nice.

2. Nomad Tri-Folio (mreh.ca/2KK5H27)
PROS:
-Great handling case

I’ve never seen this guys videos before but I’m sticking around. This is how KZhead is supposed to be done. Super informative and interesting all the way through. Definitely appreciate the work that went into the video
The way the dog looks at you or in your direction while talking is hilarious. I wonder what he's thinking!
Hands down best accessory reviewer on KZhead. AND...the best format! Even though Aaron gives you the answer at the beginning you still want to listen to most if not all of the review...every time. And I love that he USES the product before he gives the review; that’s real credibility.
Your videos have allowed me to make an informed decision about my new phone's case. I find your reviews extremely thorough, concise, and funny (hi Monty!). Your style has made me watch practically every video on your channel even after ordering a case and having watched them all, I can say that you are the best phone case reviewer on KZhead. While I won't be in the market for a case for awhile, I look forward to more of your videos. Thanks!
I'm loving your videos Aaron! Could you do a top 10 battery case for iphone?
I love the functionality of the detachable flip wallet for the Mous Limitless cases so, I bought one! It looks really good and it’s highly protective.
Thanks for introducing me to mous - hadn’t heard of that brand before this video. Loved the versatility and ordered a case this morning. Used your code to hopefully send some commission your way. Great channel!
Great video! I've been using Nomad products for two years now, it's probably my favorite brand, I buy most of my iPhone cases from them as well as Apple Watch bands. The quality is so good.
Wow, the upfront TLDR showed a great deal of respect for us as viewers, not wasting our time. Excellent reviews Sir.
I have the Apple folio and I love it! I tried multiple others but the quality is great. Easily holds 3 CC and cash and lays flat because of hinge. It replaced my wallet so I don’t mind spending the $130 as that’s what I would spend on a good wallet and phone case. I had for my X and now for 11 pro it’s build is great. Also the sleep wake feature is awesome and entire case is leather with the aluminum power and volume buttons. The cover slides over easily for photos as the leather is very soft. 👍🏻 highly recommend!
Excellent video!!!! I've been using the Dreem Detachable Wallet Case I got off amazon. Its been holding up really really well and hasn't frayed. Although when I finally get a new iphone I'll definitely be going for that Burkley or Mous modular case you talked out. Fantastic review!
just wanted to say this video is top notch. keep up the quality content :)
I bought a „Decoded Leather Folio“ for my iPhone XR yesterday. It is made from real suede leather and feels very nice. It only stores on card in the folio, but the folio holds on to you screen with magnets, so there is no latch needed, plus it sticks to the back of your iphone not dangling around awkwardly. The ear piece is accessible and is covered by a metal grill, do dirt will not get inside as easily. I love it. Sad to see the case not making an appearance here, but a good video regardless 😊👌🏻
Ordered a mous case for my mous covers with the Black Friday sale only Au$42 shipped to Australia!
This is so thorough, I had to give a like. I usually don’t. Wow!
Thankyou so much! I bought XS max recently and decided to go with MOUS and their wallet accessory. Thanks for helping me decide!! and thank you for the 20% off coupon!!!
I’ve had the 12 South book book cases for my 6plus and 8 Plus for the last 5 years. LOVE them. I’ve yet to break the tabs and I take the 8 Plus out of the case multiple times a day.
Your apple sales person story makes my laugh. Awesome video, and thanks for the test!
Dude freaking great job on the video!
:)
wow this is SOOOOOOOO helpful. and so in depth. you really earned this sub my friend
Thank you. I was waiting for this review! :)
Such helpful, detailed reviews. Thanks so much for your help. Love your humour too - oh and that you're Canadian. 😀
Thank you for your sharing! I decided to go with MOUS and wallet, and I used your 20% off coupon. Thank you!
Are you still liking the case?
Thanks for the thoughtful reviews.
15:48 - 15:57 Dog: “geezus! Are you still going on about it?”
Wow wow! Outstanding thorough review!
Spent like $80 on that mous wallet case, vent mount and walnut case with your code. Couldn’t agree more, even the case feels premium, especially on an $1,100USD Phone.
Great job as always. I love all your posts!
:)
This dude makes the best reviews
Thanks for this great review, very useful. I am using a Sena wallet case. You did not mention but it’s a great case.
Sebastiaan M agreed Sean is definitely a leather wallet company worth looking at
Second Case looks pretty good. 👍🏻
Just ordered a wallet case for my mous 3.0 speckled fabric ( side note best finish they make. Nice texture and not as slippery as carbon or wood)
I’m currently using the Otterbox Strada Folio case on my iPhone 11 Pro Max I definitely recommend it as it has a magnetic latch to keep the case shut, it can hold a maximum of 4 cards although there is only 2 card slots.
A video full of info, yet again, Aaron, thx! I too cannot get away from the smell of a good leather case, lol.
Awe, your dog is so sweet.
Which one of the Mous, Burkley, and Zover are the thinnest? Do you think I can mix & match cases? I have an Evutec AER case for my Xs Max that I love (which you should totally review, just saying!) that has magnets in the back for mounts but still supports wireless charging. It should work with these options right?
I’ve used those wallet flip cases that cover the screen on other people’s phones but never got one I got one recently coz my old case broke and needed something and so far I really like it lol
Once again thanks for your great sense of humour while getting your points across.
:)
I got the Mous wallet case during their Black Friday sale...can’t wait to start using it 😁👍
Grat choice.
Thank you for your great videos
great video, lot's of options I also found idealofsweden for cases..........I have to knock off a few points because of your location, you are probably a Calgary Flames fan... lol ..... like the Canadian content!!
Sorry, can't find your discount codes. Where do I go for that? Your video is so helpful. Fantastic
soooo...manyyyyy....casesssss!!!!!! sooooo many choices!
U crawl, so we can all walk. You’re the best man.
Great video as usual!
:)
Brussel sprouts are nice, when they’re cooked! 😋
Can you please consider review the esr wallet case I really love it
Hey guy, your Schnoodle looks great
Would like to see an update on these wallet cases for the iPhone 13’s
I love that dog already
😂 funny how the dog looks annoyed. Even his eyebrow goes up in surprise. 3:31 _"What, you're including me in the video?"_ 7:36 _"Seriously? Your doing it again. *ugh Take it away"_ 🤣
I wish they did the mous wallet in dark brown. I would instant buy.
I use torro cases like this it’s fantastic
Aaron! This video was awesome even though I'm not a wallet case person. But it got me thinking - during the whole black friday cyber monday thing I was trying to choose a leather case; one with a bit more grip than Apple's. I have an Ullu case for my SE and I love the texture. For the Xs Max I couldn't decide between several companies so I'm still on my Evutec Karbon case (which is not on Evutec's site but is in Target here in the U.S.). Is there any chance you will do a leather case comparison review in the future? I know it would be similar to this one, but 75 percent of this one is about the wallet functionality; I (and maybe some other people) am more interested in just the leather case part. Thanks man.
A leather case roundup is on my list of videos to do!
I know this guy came first... By a lot. But I can't separate the song Scarlet Fire from Dankpods. That song is such a nugget.
Thank you!!! Exactly what I needed. Merry Christmas!
Which case would you recommend for the new ipad pro 12.9 inch? I’m leaning towards the otterbox 360
Did you use Apple Pay too? How does a nfc card on the back of the iphone affect Apple Pay? Do the terminals just choose the one that's closer or does it maybe use both?
I hope you include more Beer Rants in future videos, because that was hilarious! Also, when you were showing the individual case models with the spinning shots and slow-mo, everything looked amazing. I'll be sure to do my holiday gift shopping via your Amazon affiliate links - keep up the great work.
Do a review on tucch case for iphone 15 plus it a new company or case that looks very valid wallet case 😮
I found the issue with some of these detachable cases that the case itself has no raised edges at all.
I have a Greenwich Horo case, not strictly a wallet case but very good quality if not a tad expensive.
I'll have to check it out.
Vaja leather cases should be on a future video. If you love leather and the smell of it check them out.
Just ordered a snake hive wallet case yesterday since my super cheap caseen one is falling apart after a good 2 years of use
I had an otterbox one i dropped it countless times not even a scratch even with it open and even on gravel plus the moment i switched to a normal one instantly dropped it boom broken screen and it was a mous case
well , i purchased mous wallet case based on the advertisement and will be honest with you :) it is a junk i had it for one month and it came a part
Thank you for this video! I love wallet cases! I have the Apple leather folio for my XS. Oh, and Monty looks good. :)
The Tech Wiccan do u like the Apple folio? I'm really thinking of getting one, not gonna pay full price though...I also have the XS
Christina Hamilton I do, but I don’t like that it doesn’t have a kickstand mode. I made an unboxing video on my channel if you want to check it out. :)
The Tech Wiccan yes I thought about that...and I'm also worried that my habit of closing the folio and sticking the phone in my pocket during a call will mean I'll be hanging up on a lot of.ppl due to auto sleep! Maybe I should reconsider...
Christina Hamilton I’ve never had a problem with the case accidentally ending the call. My video shows the folio case up close. Maybe that will give you a better idea.
@@Enjoyyourcarry The folio is a *great* case for the iPhone - I had one with my X and now have another for my XS Max. Combined with a glass screen protector, I know that the phone has all around protection and blithely shove it into my pocket, backpack, car console etc... When I handed the X to its current owner, she couldn't believe that the phone was in such good condition. It had literally been out of the folio only once or twice over the 12 months I had it and was perfectly protected. Perhaps there are cheaper cases and no doubt Apple are making good bank on these accessories but I love the case, it fits the phone *perfectly* and it just works.
Excellent job! I really have a much better idea of the features I do and do not want now. Entertaining too. Subscribing...and looking forward to the muscle review so I learn where to get me some guns too.
BTW...The Mous and Berkley ... will two cards fit in each card slot without issue...like tearing the stitching before too long?
The one best wallet case, the Otterbox commuter, was sadly discontinued.
i’m thinking of getting the iphone xr what would be a good case for it?
Thoughts on Doc Artisan cases?
Maybe you or a viewer can help me. For a 11 Pro Max looking for a folio with auto wake/sleep and a removable case ? Zover makes one for the iPhone xs max but that company makes nothing for the newest versions.Thanks, best case review on KZhead.
I need one like the Danny P but cheaper. I got two phones one for a wallet. Therefore I don’t really need to use the phone only if I need to call it if I lose it . Any suggestions? Also I need one with a lot of money room . A lot of money room a full on wallet replacement
One word Vaja Best leather and far superior to any of these How about Sena ?
Are you still liking the burkley? Is it grippy?
You can charge the vCommute wirelessly you just leave the wallet open
Otterbox Strada? I know it’s really not a wallet case but more of folio case. Has just one card slot but I bought one this year. And I think Otterbox has done a great job improving this case. For handling it’s actually pretty good with the magnetic latch. Locks to close and locks the flap back which is great. And it’s pretty slim and it’s very classy looking. Otterbox added some more grip to the cradle that your phone sits in which is alway a bonus. Only drawback is, it will only occupy one card. Great video thanks for showing us these other great options. I would love to love wallet cases I think the concept is fantastic only thing is the handing of your phone in them. I hate how my phone feels when I have to fold back the cover of the case to the back. Drives me crazy. But I guess if I’m at home take the phone out of the wallet case and then just use the wallet for going out is basically what I should do. Great job. 👍
I did have a part for the Strada but cut it out at the end. It is a good case.
Your dog is so adorable what is he and how old
Hello van you test the Nomad rugged learher case dir the iPhone XR? Speziell a drop test i warnt toll See .... thank you very much
Have you considered the Sena Cases product?
Have you tried the Magbak wallet?
Please print the name of the case on the screen, and have it on the screen the whole time you're talking about it.
Does apple pay works with the magnetic detachable wallet case
Have you tried JimmyCase? If you’re just looking for something to hold a few cards they’re fairly slim and have some colorful design options.
I'll check it out.
why no mention of whether they have magnets for the auto lock/unlock feature?
Will the magnet affect the phone?
I have a shieidon wallet case for my I phone 11 I what do you think of that
Your co-pilot has classic facial expressions. 😂😂😂
nomad trifolio looks so good ii think its a good case
I didn't think I would like it but's actually pretty neat.
vcommute can wireless charge actually just with fold unflapped
Can you check the Artisan cases?
Can you do a review of the Spigen Liquid Armor? I know that you have a good relationship with spigen so hopefully it won't be too hard to get one. Even if they don't send you one, it is only about $9 on amazon. Thanks man
Alex thebest it’s his least favourite case good luck though
Here's my roundup on Spigen cases: kzhead.info/sun/ntOEctZ9nnxshWg/bejne.html
The fact that you probably didn't have Brussel sprouts in your house, went out and purchased some JUST to eat a raw one for a video... Man I love your channel.
I 💙 my last 3 📱 wallets from AliExpress, under $5 🇨🇦
Where did you get your Apple Watch band?.
Honestly if you are suuuuuper strapped for cash go to geek or wish. I got my iPhone wallet case last year and it has all the functions on the double folder case even tho I pretty sure that it’s not made from real leather it still hasn’t broken.
Thanks for the comment.
Thumbs up for the lil pup :)
what about for the SE?
I love that dog it looks cute😍😍😍, it think our dog would do the same😁😁😁👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
My wallet case just has a sliding back that slides out n u put ur cards in
