I received my case today, and I like it, but I don't love it yet. The biggest problem I have with it is that the case won't close well even if you just have 3 cards in it. Hopefully it will stretch out better over time because its leather.

The problem is that the case doesn't space out the cards well enough so that the center of the wallet where the strap is, is bulging. Its overall a poor design on there part. It would be better if there was a strap at the top and bottom where its less bulky, or having a bigger strap that goes across further.

Other then that its pretty thin, and I like it.

I only use mines when I go out and doesn't feel like bringing everything. I tried putting 3 credit cards in and it closed fine for me. It wasn't bulky.

I have reservations about the idea of a wallet case. I had one before for a different phone, but abandoned it shortly, for the following reasons:

1. When I fold the flap back and talk on the phone, everyone around me can see my cards and cash in the case. I always worry that it would attract un-necessary attention. People really don't need to see how much money I have in the wallet.

2. When I am at work, I normally place the phone on my desk (because I access it all day) and leave the wallet in my jeans pocket (because I need it very rarely and it is more secure). When a phone case is combined with a wallet, then I would need to leave it on the desk to use the phone features, but then my credit cards and money are not in a secure spot.

3. For a wallet case to completely replace my regular wallet, I need to store cash it there. I am just wondering how unhealthy it may be to have a stack of dirty cash next to my face when I talk on the phone.

Call me paranoid. I know I am... :)

Although I would carry bills on clip, I think there should be a flap hiding the cards, my current regular wallet does that, it holds the drivers's license.

You can't see the credit cards or other cards really. Personally I don't keep money in this wallet though more because I just feel like it doesn't fit properly. If it was slightly taller I could fit money in without folding it, but when I have to fold money to put it in, it feels way to bulky. It would also be nice if the flap where you keep money was longer so the money wouldn't be as visible.

So far over time the wallet seems to be adjusting a bit so that everything fits a bit better, but its still not perfect yet. Hopefully over another week or so the wallet will continue adjusting so that it always closes properly.

1. You can always flip your cards around so that the backs are facing out. Plus, your hand should cover up some of your cards while you are using it as a phone.

2. When you get up from your desk, put the phone back in your pocket... you should be doing this anyway if you are concerned with security. At times when you are at the desk, your phone/wallet should be ok since you are right there to watch over it.

3. Studies have already shown that touch screen phones have 18 times the amount of germs as a flush handle on a toilet. Why? Because you touch everything with your hands and then you touch your screen constantly.
