The 8 Best iPhone Wallet Cases, No Matter Which Generation of Phone You Have

MagSafe Compatibility: If you insist on using MagSafe accessories or any newer-gen device equipped with Qi-enabled charging, keep in mind that a wallet case might get in the way of your wireless experience. But thankfully, quite a few iPhone card-holder cases on our list do not interrupt MagSafe’s magic and thus pave the way for wireless charging even with the case—and cards—on. But for others, those magnets are just too big for both, and you’ll have to detach the case for wireless charging or just charge with a cord, which isn’t that repulsive of an idea.

Card-Slot Capacity: Some manufacturers straight-up provide a limit as to how many cards you can put in there, and some just tell you the amount of card slots for you to test the limit.

Looks: Even the most function-over-form of us care about style deep down. It’s not the biggest part of your look, but getting a nice-looking iPhone wallet will give you a little treat every time you pull it out.

Build Quality: But if you really do only care about function, consider the materials of your iPhone wallet. Is it plastic? Rubber? Leather? If it’s leather, where is it from? Are there tiered options? Etc., etc.

iPhone Model: Apple insists on the subtlest twists for each of its new releases—a decimal difference in dimension or camera bump. That’s something we just have to put up with. Hence, never be so innocent that you think you can just carry your iPhone 13 wallet case over to an iPhone 14. Always check the size of each model—you’d be surprised by how they’re often a small world apart.
