FAQ

Q: Why Would I Want an iPhone Wallet Case?

A case is a must-have accessory for any iPhone. And a wallet case allows you to bring along an ID, credit cards, and some cash, all in the same package. There are a wide variety of styles of wallet cases at different price points. So no matter your style, or budget, you should definitely find a wallet case for you.

Q: Are There Any Disadvantages When Using an iPhone Wallet Case?

While wallet cases are convenient, there are a few downsides to consider. The major issue is that it adds bulk to an iPhone since you’re adding cash and credit cards to the mix. But that's a tradeoff many are willing to make. Because of the increased thickness, some wallet cases might not be compatible with wireless or MagSafe charging.

Q: Could an iPhone Wallet Case Damage my Handset’s Screen?

Some wallet iPhone cases feature a book design that sees the section where the credit cards and cash are stored fold on top of the iPhone screen when not in use. Since credit cards are made with a softer plastic, it’s not particularly likely that they would scratch the handset’s screen. And most manufacturers make sure to use very soft materials to prevent the same problem.

But if you’re worried about screen scratching, for any reason it’s always a good idea to use a screen protector. Most are made with glass and can provide a strong layer of protection for your screen.
