PEGAI Personalized Magnetic Distressed Leather iPhone Wallet Case - McLean (Mahogany, 11)

I wanted to love this, I really did. When I first received it, I did love love it, but it just hasn't held up. I've had it now for 4 months, and the phone case has completely fallen apart, and the pockets have come unglued so my credit cards all the way down into the wallet and it's a pain to get them out. The leather work is great and has held up really well, but everything else hasn't.

The quality is not as it seems. The leather is not high quality and the stitching appears a lot better in the pictures. The big problem with this case - if you drop the case the phone pops out of the case.

First off, I do not leave reviews. I was extremely impressed by the overall fit and finish of this product so much so that I was compelled to. This is the third phone wallet I've purchased, and is by far the highest initial quality. I cannot speak to durability yet, but it does appear that it will hold up to daily use.I ordered this for the iPhone 8+, and with the personalized monogram on the front flap. I opted for expedited shipping (I hate waiting), and even with the personalization the order was placed on Wednesday and delivered the following Monday (from Chicago to southern Alabama via USPS).The product came secure in a bubble envelope. The reviews showing the "gift" box, and antiqued tissue paper are accurate. It very much felt that the Seller appreciates each order, and is dilligent to ship the product in a way that it assures you the quality of the product will match the care with which it is packaged.The detachable phone case seems to be of a better design than other products; the leather back matches the finish of the wallet, and the holder itself is a more flexible rubber as opposed to the harder, more brittle plastic other designs use. The flexible, softer material does not seem like it will crack and chip as other designs do.Do not expect to carry 20 credit cards/forms of identification with any phone wallet, and this is no exception. I carry (3) IDs, insurance, and (3) credit cards with no issue and no bulging. It does have a cash pocket behind the card slots, and bills must still be folded to fit as with other designs. This isn't a fault on the Seller nor the design - U.S. currency just happens to have a larger footprint than the iPhone 8+. The wallet/flap is thicker than other designs, and coupled with the slightly sueded finish, makes it difficult to get in and out of pockets. Not impossible, just different than other designs. The thicker backing does make it seem like it will hold its shape over the course of its life, though.There are no speaker holes in the front flap, but even still, I have had no issue carrying on a conversation with the flap closed. The magnet holding the phone case into the wallet is not as strong as other designs, but it does feel it will do the job.The only two suggestions I have for the Seller/Maker, are 1) a magnetic clasp/closure to keep the flap secure (and to keep from twisting the flap, distressing the spine), and 2) a cut-out for use of the rear-facing camera in the wallet itself. The absence of the closure/clasp is evident from the pictures on Amazon, so I cannot fault the Seller/Maker on this. I ordered this knowing it did not have this feature. However, the absence of a cut-out in the rear of the wallet is not evident from the description nor pictures. The detachable case portion accommodates the rear facing camera, but the back flap of the wallet is solid. To use the rear facing camera, the phone must be slid up to expose the lens or completely removed from the wallet. This is different than most designs available, and I believe it would be an added value to this product. The absence of the cut-out, and the ambiguity from the pictures online, is the sole reason for my (4) star rating.That said, the design is impressive and the execution flawless for what it is. For under $50 it very much feels like a bargain, but one that does not disappoint.

Bought this for a gift for my son for his birthday and he got it a little bit early around Christmas is birthdays in January. He was thrilled he loved it he loved carrying it my only complaint is and the only reason for four stars is the fact that and less than 4 months he's already had to buy a new phone case because the phone case itself has already cracked and started catching on things such as his shorts the wallet part is perfect still in mint condition but really does have no good without the phone part and you cannot find another phone part to fit in there due to the magnet. But he absolutely loved I just wish for the price paid that the piece that goes with it would have lasted longer. I will say he does take his phone out of it when he's sitting at home or something like that to use his phone he removes it from the wallet peace and only puts it in there when he's going off but I still would think it should have lasted longer but as for the quality of the material but the look of the product itself being able to have the initials put into it it is absolutely gorgeous! Maybe design for somebody who would not take their phone out as often but then I would think that would defeat the purpose of having them magnet and being able to remove it when you wanted. If I was basing it just on quality I would have given at five stars, but due to the fact that he's already had to buy a new cell phone cover I had to give it three stars. He was very disheartened when he had to replace it he said he would still carry the other piece as a wallet but unfortunately I'm not seen him do that. For those who may be wondering my son is a married 23 year old therefore he's not careless when using this product.

From the 5 photographs above, it should be obvious to see the beauty of this leather iPhone wallet/case. Mine is for an iPhone X and all the holes are large enough and in the right places. My previous case had small openings and my iPhone charger cord kept popping out. Not so with this product. While it's in the wallet or out, you can only charge your phone the conventional way with the iPhone cord charger. (unless you remove the phone from the inner case). Only comes in one color (chocolate brown). Works well for males or females. Only holds a DL and a couple credit cards, however, I have 5 cards in mine ( my DL, 2 credits cards and 2 thin cards behind). Also there is a pocket for folded bills. Looks to be very durable since it's real leather, but I've only had it a short time. It is a bit heavy due to the magnet in the back that holds the thin cell phone case to the leather itself. The magnet holds firmly, my phone has never fallen out of the wallet. All in all, I think it is a very good product and made well. It is designed for Initials but I had my whole name put on the front (not my real name in the pictures above). Since my first and last name is only six digits long, I wanted my name on the front. It really looks cool and the letters are deep and large enough! The phone in the small case will fit in your back pocket, but the phone inside the wallet is a bit bulky, so I wouldn't recommend putting the wallet with the phone in your pocket (unless you are wearing cargo pants and have huge pockets in the front). IF you drop the phone while it's in the wallet, the phone would probably come loose from the magnet and the inner case or phone might break. This product is for people who admire nice things and who are not ruff with their belongings. I love this somewhat bulky wallet case and the slim inner case.
