What to check before buying

Card access

Decide whether you need one or two card slots, multiple card slots, cash space, or a zipper pocket. More storage usually means more thickness.

Closure security

Covered card slots, magnetic flaps, zippers, and snap closures help keep cards and cash more contained than open card slots alone.

Phone compatibility

Model-specific cases must match the exact iPhone or Samsung model shown on the product page. Check the model option before checkout.

Phone case with strap versus phone purse

Choose a phone case with card holder and strap when you want the phone itself to hold cards and be carried by a strap. Choose a phone purse or crossbody phone bag when you need extra room for keys, lip balm, earbuds, receipts, or travel items.
