'Like a Glove', 'WOW, I just saw a bunch of people on line waiting for the 3G iPhone and some guy had this case. SOOOOOO awesome. I held it in my hands. Really good quality. So much better than Vaja, Prima, Sena and of course Belkin and Targus. It\\"s like Hartman or Tumi quality, yet a lot cheaper and fits the 3G iPhone like a GLOVE!
'suggestions for your next iphone wallet', 'hi\r\nSeems like this is the best wallet for the iphone that is currently available but you can make it better by increasing its thickness by a small amount to allow for a full length extra pocket so cash can be stored in an unfolded manner, just like a real wallet. Currently the wallet is second place to it being an iphone carrier. Make such a wallet and you can sell truckloads. Consider making a female style wallet-they tend to carry huge ones for all the store and credit cards with a coin purse included and a brighter colour perhaps-yellow or pink or a white one to match the new white iphones\r\n\r\nI assume it is leather and not plastic.
I\\"m very pleased with my wallet! I just got one today and it\\"s very well designed. The iPhone loads and unloads perfectly. Not for your back pocket naturally. Bravo!
'Fantastic', 'I really love my new wallet! This is exactly what I was looking for: a convenient way to make everything fit in one place while using the minimal ammount of space. Thank you!
Just what i was looking for!', 'every morning when i leave the house my mantra is \\"wallet, keys, cellphone, ipod\\"… i was ecstatic when i was able to shorten the chant to wallet, keys, iphone. now it\\"s just \\"wallet, keys\\" and i have my whole life with me. GREAT PRODUCT!!!
'This is It!', 'I\\"ve had my first-generation iPhone since last summer and had been looking for a product like this for a long time. It seemed like such a simple concept–combining an iPhone case with a wallet–but I could not find what I was looking for until I stumbled upon the iPocketWallet. Owen filled my order promptly and I had mine within a matter of a few days. I love it!
'thanks', 'the wallet arrived today, 23rd which is pretty fast.\r\n\r\nthe wallet is excellent, it really is. Nice and minimalist though i would like it to be a bit wider for the currency here (or an extra full length pocket across the back for full length notes).\r\n\r\nThe value is also great-most wallets are about $5-10 more than what yours was and the quality seems to be first class.\r\n\r\nHave not yet got my iphone-it was released on Saturday but such is the interest in Singapore they are giving people appointments to pick up the phone-mine is not until the 30th August. \r\n\r\nHope you sell truckloads-will pass it round the people here and on the local forums.
This wallet seems to be exactly what I have been looking for however I am a little bit worried about dicing up a wallet to make of work as shown in the video.\r\nI would much rather have it shipped already \\"customized\\", there is no information I can find on the site stating if and when this will become availabe. If anyone can email me with this information I would me far more inclined to purchase.
'Whats your email?', 'Erix, the wallets are expected to arrive soon. I am waiting for them. What is your email and I will let you know when they come. Thanks.
It has been a few weeks with my new iphone wallet product. The leather is now seasoned and all my stuff is in place. It is perfect!\r\n\r\nI would want to take back my ratings of 3/5 and give you a perfect 10/10
'Thanks', 'Received my wallet, it\\"s awesome. Just as thick as my old wallet even though I keep the phone in it. Thanks.
My quest has ended!', 'Patient searching finally pulled up this site. Exactly what I was looking for. I was getting close to learning where to order leather and how to cut, stitch anc design such a beast.\r\n\r\nNow I just wait for a decent exchange rate to buy it from Aussie dollars..
I was so excited to find a real wallet to hold my iphone and my ccs and money etc. But, now it will not close fully. I don\\"t carry tons of stuff in my wallet either. It could use another 1/2 inch in the spine of it. So, I am still looking for a solution…'
April, give it a week or two and the wallet will become more form fitting.
we need it a bit wider', 'very nice product but not wide enough for euro money.\r\n\r\ncan\\"t you produce a euro version?\r\ni would buy even 2 of them.
I was looking for something to condense my pocket clutter and this did the trick! Product does exactly what is says and the quality of the leather is very nice. I went with the \\"customized\\" version and I am very happy. Thanks!
the wallet is arrived !!\r\n\r\nis a very good product !! thanks a lot !!
'Great Customer Service', 'Just a note of thanks and to let folks know that Owen stands behind what he sells. My iWallet started to self-destruct after about six months so during dinner I started swapping mail with him about it. I took a couple pictures to show what was happening (emailed straight from the iPhone of course) and a new wallet was on its way the next day. While I\\"m not a fan of the id-card flap due to bulk (I cut it out) and I added a slit to allow the ear-buds to plug in and out easily, I still think this is the best iPhone accessory out there.\r\n\r\nThanks again!
iPocketWallet is GREAT!', 'I have a 2G iPhone and have use several cases and such before finding the iPocketWallet.\r\n\r\nPrice is very good…\r\nQuality is top notch…\r\nFit is just right..\r\nShipping and Service is Spot on!!\r\n\r\nIf you\\"re on the fence about this.. go on.. give it a try you\\"ll love it.\r\n\r\nI got mine in four days!
'Exactly what I was looking for', 'usually I don\\"t write reviews but this wallet is so great I have to write one.\r\n\r\nShipping is also very fast, only a few days to Switzerland.
Thanks for shipping this so fast. It arrived and so far seems great. I am using it for my iPod Touch. Nice to have everything consolidated. Thanks again. Jay
Thank you for the update. I keep forgetting to email you and let you know how happy I am to have purchased your product. I searched and searched for a wallet exactly like the iPocket for my Samsung Omnia (Fits absolutely perfect and I keep the stylus in the bottom of the pouch). I found things that were close, but they were bulky. This is perfect! Some people have asked if my phone is easy and fast to draw out of the case and I have found that it is just as fast as the hip belt magnetic cases. The new version of the wallet looks great and hopefully, I will not need to replace my in the near future. Also, I have read posts about people saying that the wallet style is dumb because you cannot put it in your back pocket. If you have that issue, I would rebuttal that your wallet is 90% safer in your front pockets. Anyway, thank you for a great product and sending it so quickly.

I work at the Post Office where these are shipped and, since Owen sends out so many each day, my curiousity got the better of me. After learning about this wallet, I was curious if one would work with my Pantech Slate. To my pleasant surprise it fits perfectly. I've used it for two weeks now and couldn't be more satisfied!
I've had the wallet for about 2 weeks and its perfect in every way. It was stiff at first, but overtime it breaks-in. The materials and craftsmanship are really top of the line. I added a grommet to it so i could attach my key ring. Now everything is completely consolidated.
The wallet was much better than expected. First of all, it does a perfect job of holding everything in one place. Iphone fits fine and is not a problem to get at when needed. I've had many compliments from other Iphone users and forwarded the site to them.
Bottom line is that it is a classy looking piece that will allow you to keep everything in one place.
One more thing..Owen was a solid guy to do business with, fast shipping and prompt replies.
i picked up one of these wallets and have been using it for a couple of weeks now. I love it. It is durable, functional, and it keeps my phone protected. wallet and phone never leave home without either.
I bought the original wallet and the new second generation is superior in design and build. The addition of a deep pocket for cash is a great enhancement-it is now a proper wallet.
The only issue I have is that the pocket in which the iphone is inserted in is a bit stiff so there is not enough friction and the phone slips out when the wallet is opened. There is a danger it can completely fall out. This may change over time as the material loosens but I reckon a bit of soft thin cloth inserted into the pocket will solve this. The cleaning cloth that comes with the phone is perfect for this and it means you can also clean it on the go!
Dealing and shipping was fast.
You can always pick up one of the {thin shells} either plastic or rubber ones to make the phone a lil more snug in the wallet. The rubber one has grip also, and will cause friction with the wallet and not come out as easily. I prefer no shell and just sliding it out into my hand, after a week or two you get used to the motion ( I have never dropped it )
I just wanted to say a few words that will hopefully explain how happy I am with this wallet. Not knowing anything about the wallet as I never saw it except on the website before I ordered but the product struck me as the exact think I wanted!!! After I exchanged a few pleasant emails with Owen I placed an order for 6. One for my self and the rest were presents for some friends I will simply say that this product is EXQUISITE! I've received feedback from my friends and they all share the thoughts. Great product, great communication and fast shipping. Thank you.
Simply great. With this new version they really got it right. Everything I need to travel the world now fits in one wallet.
Just one small request: make the leather one notch sturdier.
Just for a thought……….
Have you considered put the phone pocket up front so that you dont have to slide the phone in/out…. and that you will have quicker access to your phone when you need to answer a call or complete an iPhone task….
I agree with Wms. I will buy this wallet when you move the iPhone to the top so it is usable inside the wallet. Who wants to pull their iPhone out of the wallet everytime they want to use it?
And when you do move it to the top, can you make sure all ports are accessible? I know… tall order.
Why not just have the iPhone on one side by itself and have all the normal wallet stuff on the other side?
Almost the perfect wallet for me… and definitely the closest to matching my needs.
This is a repeating request I have been getting and who knows there might be something brewing on the horizon with this idea. The thing is though for me – Who wants to have a wallet next to there ear while they are talking on the phone be it 1 min or 30 minutes. I really like apple's iphone design out of the box – I dont have any clear plastic or a rubber cases on it, I like the way it feels in my hand weather i am talking / searching the web / ipod / games / etc. The ipocketwallet is a limit the clutter product, while organizing things, but ment to be used how the iphone was originally designed. I know its a good idea in theory and I do agree this product may not be for everyone, but for my needs it meets it perfectly. I am still designing, and keep a look out there is going to be another updated design.
Owens, while the design has met your need perfectly; I believe the thought should be what is in the best interest of the consumer – and if you are getting repeat requests for the same thing, then you should come up with something to appease your customers – me too, are holding back on buying the ipocketwallet until you design something less convoluted…..
While you like the out of the box feel – your customers are saying we like the in wallet feel……!!
Statistically a low percentage though. I will keep it in mind though WMS thank you for the feedback and if anything else comes to mind please share.
I've been searching for the right kind of wallet for my iPhone. Sena's designs either leave the screen exposed while in the pocket and/or do not allow your finger to swipe to the edge of the screen, thus preventing some important actions (moving an icon to a different screen). I, personally, am not looking for a wallet that allows me to use the phone while walleted (ok, so that's not a word). I'd rather have a carrier that serves as a wallet for credit cards, ID, cash, and holds/protects my iPhone. I've been searching for months. Nothing has come close to fulfilling my needs until I stumbled onto this product in a Google search. Although I have not yet purchased the product, I have my credit card in hand. I always check out the gallery and read the reviews thoroughly before purchasing something site-unseen. Owen, if you have plans to incorporate the suggestions of moving the iPhone slot to the front and making the screen accessible, please consider making that wallet an additional option rather than replacing the current design. I am confident that there are plenty of potential customers just like me who will look at your current design and say, "Finally! That's JUST what I've been searching for!" Thanks. I'm ordering now.
I defenitley agree with you.
I do not carry any cash on my person, and only need my Visa and bus pass
Many of the other comments show how users added keychains for their house keys etc etc.
If a user wants a case where the screen is visble, buy it someplace else!
I like the feel for this allot, AND this case can be used for most other mobile phones, and not thust the iphone.
I am planning to buy a couple for my friends and family, because this will make the best gift ever
Good work Owen, and add some more branding to the case. Maby a larger circle in circle logo to brag with when you show it to your mates
I agree with them on the being able to use the phone while in the wallet. I would buy this in an instant if the screen was both visible and accessible while in the wallet…I don't necessarily need to use the "phone" feature but texting and looking things up (even checking the time) would be GREAT. and I don't need to have the ports accessible. But that is just personal preference
Just got it in the mail the other day. The shipping was very fast. It is just what I have been looking for. Great product.
Great wallet! A little bulkier than I expected for a front pocket, but I used to carry phone in one pocket and wallet in the other. Now I have a free pocket for more JUNK! Thanks(I think..)
P.S. It would be nice to have a version without the money pocket, but instead a money clip on the outside, not magnetic or hinged, just a standard steel clip wrapped in leather….that would be perfect(for me), and it would add a little more strength and security for the iphone because of the "rigid backer" that would be needed for the clip to mount on……….
Just a thought, but I will definitely buy the same one again if it was my only choice in the future. Thanks again for a terrific product!
Just got mine in mail today ordered Monday received Wednesday very fast. very nice wallet good quality will use mine when going on trips Thanks for good product.very good looking also.
I am absolutely astonished how quickly my wallet arrived. From the day I put the order in it took 2 days to arrive which is better than if it had been shipped within the UK. Amazing! Thank you very much for all the clear guidance and communication from start to end and delivery which is second to none. The wallet is fabulous and also far better quality than I had expected.
I am not one who would write a review on something I have purchased online. BUT, I just received the wallet today. For those reading this, ORDER THIS WALLET NOW!!! It is a fantastic wallet that holds my Iphone and all my stuff from my old wallet. It holds a lot of cards and is well made. KEEP IT UP, Ipocketwallet! 5 out of 5 STARS!
Fast shipping, great quality product. I'm still figuring out the best way to organize cards, etc. in the wallet to minimize its size, but so far, five out of five stars.
This wallet case, is the best!! and it only took 4 days to arrive to the UK!! AMAZING! I now only have to take one item with me, and I know that I have everything I need, because its all in one pocket. The wallet is not too bulky, and is no thinker than my old wallet with all my cards, receipts and all the other rubbish that I carry around. I fully reccomend this case, it is by far the best one I have seen. if you are thinking of buying one, JUST BUY IT!!
great wallet, well made. i am glad a found it otherwise i would have invented it myself, and just like you did, good job. i searched for a few days on the net and this is exactly what i was looking for, i will carry my phone in it when I want it protected. please don't change the product, there are plenty of other cases on the market that meet some other needs but none like this one.i will be getting a few more from you. just incase something drastic happens like you stop making them of you change it. when i find a good thing it seems to disappear. so i feel i have to get a lifetime supply.
Great product!
Tired of carrying a phone in one pocket and a wallet in the other, I wanted to consolidate. I've looked at all the iphone cases & phone wallets in the stores–none of them suited me. I found the iPocketWallet online & ordered mine on Thursday, received it on Monday.
The wallet is exactly as described. The leather is good quality and it seems to be well made. With my iPhone inside it is only about 1/4 inch longer than my old leather wallet.
This is exactly what I've been looking for… I'm already in the habit of carrying my wallet in my front pocket due to back problems. This is much easier to keep track of, especially on family outings, shopping etc.
Thanks Owen!
just received and luv it.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to protect my new phone but did not want to have to carry a wallet and a phone case. This holds cash, license, credit cards and phone with room to spare. It is like someone read my mind when creating it. It is the exact case I needed.
I had the Original Wallet and really liked it. I modified the original wallet by cutting out the center flap because I didn't need all the exta credit card slots. I also really wanted the convenience of a thinner iPocketWallet. The one thing that made me chose to buy this new version was the added feature of a traditional sleeve to hold cash.
I must concur witht he comments about about shipping. This company has shockingly fast shipping. Each time I have ordered something, I clique on "purchase", walk to my curbside mailbox and there is the wallet. We're all being spoiled by this efficiency.
When I opened the box with this new version of the iPocketWallet, the first thing I noticed was the height and length dimensions are visibly larger. While I was disappointed, I suspect the larger size was necessary to accommodate the dimensions of USA cash in the new cash sleeve.
I was also slightly disappointed to see the slot that holds the iPhone was enlarged. It is now much wider than is necessary to hold an iPhone. I suspect this might be an attempt to make this new wallet compatible with a wider selection of communication devices (e.g. Blackberry, Palm).
The additional stiffness that is mentioned about doesn't bother me. However the massive size of this wallet after I put my iPhone in it does bother me. I'm going to keep using this wallet for at least two weeks to try and get used to the bigger/bulkier size, but I am keeping my previous iPocketWallet close by just in case.
Delivery was quicker than I expected.
It smells great, feels good, looks awesome.
Australian notes are about 3mm longer than the pocket for the money. Hopefully after the leather breaks in the cash will fit nicer.
Prob suggest some holes for the speakers (did some myself) and prob some magnet or clip to hold the wallet closed.
I've been a PDA user since the nineties and the days of Palm Pilots (who remembers them !), at that time I managed to get a case which also held a credit card and I was hooked.
Since then I have been through a few of Palm's a couple of IMate's and a HTC all in horrible nasty cases which I modified or adapted with scalpels and adhesive Velcro.
I've now moved over to an iPhone and to go with it the product I have been searching for over ten years, the iPocketWallet.
Small, Hard wearing, Lots of pockets, I'm amazed on so many levels.

Fantastic service, ordered on the Wednesday and it was delivered Saturday and I'm in the UK!! Good product, quality superb, learning to live with it as I'm use to a tri-fold wallet, just needs to soften a bit but I'm, sure it will. Thanks I now have all my 'bits' in one place.
Thanks for a fabulous product and service. Could not beleive how quick it reached me here in uk. Well worth every penny.
Cheers Andrew
I'm so sorry it took me so long to post my review. I know this will sound like a planted review, but it's an honest statement. This wallet is exactly what I've been looking for. After I injured my back, I had to start wearing a back brace that prevented me from using my favorite iPhone holster. I tried putting the holster in my pocket, but with my wallet and the holster, it was just too much. I tried to use the holster as my wallet. I used the belt clip as a money clip to hold folded cash and two credit cards. There was a small pocket inside where I kept my ID and insurance card. It was too difficult to get to my ID/insurance cards and I was constantly afraid I would lose my money or credit cards. The iPocketWallet solved my problem 100%. I can carry MUCH more cash, MANY more credit cards, receipts/business cards, ID, insurance cards, and more. It's a much better solution than my adapted holster, it's smaller than the holster + wallet in my pocket (of course), and is only slightly larger than the holster itself. Once I got familiar with the best way to hold the wallet as I open it, the phone has not slid out unexpectedly yet. I absolutely love it. I found this site with the famous "Google search," and I am so glad I did. I was apprehensive about purchasing a wallet "sight-unseen," based solely on a picture and the video, but I could not be happier. Thanks, iPocketWallet!
Excellent product. Transaction very smooth and arrived in UK within 4 days. Very pleased. Thanks.

Hi Owen,
Received the wallet very quikly to the UK. (approx 4-5 days).
I did a lot of research on different/similar products but pipped for this wallet instead.
The leather is REALLY good quality, it smells absolutely lovely!! – it even has 2 slots for keys!!?? – which is a bonus, as I didn't even realise!
A superb item, highly recommended!!
HOWEVER!!! – I am a left-handed Iphone user and I would so love the wallet 'the other way round' (I instinctively take out the phone with my right hand, whilst holding the wallet in the left) – its always upside down!?…..
Let me know if you do a left handed version mate, I will buy one instantly (can you make a one off!!??)
!!!!!! iPocketLeftHandedWallet !!!!!!
***Has a great sound to the name!! ****** lol.
Thanks again Owen, great item! Best on market and really cheap (GBP!)
dear Owen,
I have recived an email from you fonfirming that the the money has been recieved, but unfortunatly my address is woring.
what can I do for this, "can I change my address information?"
my transaction # is :
please advice as soon as possible please.

Hi Owen
The wallet arrived the other day. I am very impressed with the quality and softness of the leather. I know that there are people that are going to go on about how bulky the wallet is with the phone inside but it works for me, as I would usually have the wallet and phone in the same pocket anyway and it would be bulkier. Great product!
I purchased the Ipocketwallet a few months ago when I purchased my new Samsung Omnia. My phone fits perfectly into the spot even with a plastic protective case. I have found this wallet to the best smart-phone wallet around. It also shipped rather quickly with nice packaging. I like that I can have my phone, credit cards, drivers license, and money all in one wallet. It works great.
With that said, I do think that the Ipocketwallet version 2 could still use some improvements. First of all, I am a little disappointed that the ID slot is too large and the window is too short so that important parts of the ID are cut off making it so I have to remove it if I need to show it to someone. It would have been nice if this spot had been designed to better fit the standard drivers license/ID card.
Second, I do not like that there is no stylist slot. This makes it hard for people who do not have an Iphone and use a stylist. It would have been nice if there was a place in the center where a stylist could fit.
Third, I found the money slot to be too small/short. When I have close to $100 in assorted bills I have found they all bunch together in the bill area. This could be avoided if one were to increase length of the wallet by half an inch.
Fourth, I find the name insulting to those of us who refuse to buy into the AT&T Iphone craze. While, ipocketwallet is catchy, I think the designers maybe missing an important demographic, smartphone users. I think a better name for this phone would be "smartwallet."
Fifth, I would like to see other variations of this wallet that included two flaps (instead of one) with the phone in the middle with Velcro.
In conclusion, even with these flaws to the design, I think this wallet is one of the best around for smart phones. I would encourage you to purchase it for your phone. I have no regrets in purchasing this wallet and I look forward to purchasing future versions.
Thanks Eric.
I am sorry you find the name insulting, it is just a name…
The wallet was originally for the iphone for about a year or so before marketing towards other phones just because they actually fit great in there also! So the ipocketwallet was name generated bc of the iphone, it just so happens thats where this all began.
Its not perfect, the ID shield seems to work fine for me as far as the date or birth, seems to be the reason why most people look at the id, but I actually come across most the time people ask to see the id anyway as far as policy they make you take it out – and with the design being a lil looser fit and also has the top grip area the grab it, its very easy to remove.
"I like that I can have my phone, credit cards, drivers license, and money all in one wallet. It works great."
your perfect quote is the reason why ipocketwallet was born.
Rec'd the wallet on 9/8, and after almost a month has exceeded my expectations for everything except the ID slot, which is loose now so the license comes out easily unless something is put behind it. Other than that, been looking for a case for my iPhone and also a new wallet (had been using a metal money clip)…couldn't have both in the same pocket at the same time but this fixed that buy having to only purchase 1 thing.
Just saw a new wallet has come out, looking forward to seeing its design as well.
Just received it today in the mail. Really fast shipping, its exactly what I was looking for, feels a little stiff today because its new… but I bet give it a couple days and it will soften up and be perfect! Thanks Owen for a great product, I will post in a couple weeks for an updated review!
I actually been using the wallet for a month now with my blackberry curve – I've known Owen for 10 years we went to college together – He got some prototypes in and wanted me to test it out on a BB – just wanted to help him out and kick off this review area – Its great, I love my blackberry its cool how his product can transfer over from the iphone – because I am BBM for life baby. I have no complaints though – it does as advertised – I have falling in love with is and will continue to use it. Get One! =P .. get two!!! LOL
I was searching for the perfect wallet, something that wasn't too big, but could fit everything I needed in it when I came across this wallet. It's perfect! I already know what I am getting everyone for Christmas!
My ipocket wallet arrived today ,and its fair to say im delighted with it.The first thing you notice is the new leather smell,and on close inspection its so beautifully made.It also feel nice in the pocket not to big and bulky.The only thing id like to say if ever you decide to stop making them mail me straight away as i will get another one as a spare as its just the best thing on the market, i also have a i flip which is crap by comparison keep up the good work Chris Thomas Swansea S Wales UK
hi mate. i'm looking to get one of these cases pretty quickly as i'm going away in a week. doe you have any idea if it fits an iPhone 4 nicely?
Had this wallet for about 2 weeks and love it!!! Thanks
G'Day Owen
The iPocket Wallet arrived today, this is even better than the pictures on eBay. The smell of the leather smells great and it looks a lot more expensive than the price it is selling at. I would just like to say thank you for the fast reply to my question and a great product, i look forward to purchasing future iPocket Wallets
I rarely write reviews, but I just got the wallet (3.0) in the mail after having ordered it just a few days prior. I'm big on minimizing what I need to carry and also streamlined accessibility. Having said that, after using money clips, then to a rubber band to secure both my money AND my cards for one pocket and then my phone in the other pocket, I was looking for something that would cure this issue. (It's hard to look professional when you're pulling your money from a rubber band, efficient as it may be.)
I do a lot of outdoor activities and frequent the gym often, so while I enjoyed my minimalism, throwing an unprotected iPhone, credit cards, keys and change into the pocket of a bag just didn't feel secure enough for me. This wallet solves that issue. It keeps everything protected and in one place. I was hoping it doing the impossible and remaining an extra-slim solution-it's still a bit bulky for a guy that used to use a rubber band/money clip-but it works well. For me, I think I would have rather have half of the wallet. That is, the pocket for the iPhone and then the vertical card slots on the same side without a bi-fold. This would cut down on the extra thickness and match the minimalism I was looking for. Ideal as that may be for me, I know that most people would rather have the bi-fold, so for what it is, this is great so far.
I'm going to test it out for a bit, though I may end up using it as a wallet and keep my phone separately unless I'm in need of tossing everything in a ruck when on the run.

Owen, your iPocketWallet 3.0 lite arrived in the mail yesterday. I so appreciated the very prompt shipping! And the wallet is everything you said it would be — slim and trim, yet holds a number of cards and cash, my iPhone fit easily and is snug and safe inside the wallet, the quality and sturdiness of construction look very good. I'm so pleased to have finally found an iPhone wallet that's really a wallet and good at what it does!
a bit dissapointed… it will not close completely when you put the iphone in.. if you put it on the table you have to put it up side down..
you need to use it for like 4 days – it sits flat, 100 % just have to break in the leather, if you decide to keep it, please reply to this review again once you had the wallet for a couple weeks, thank!
Ordered on the 1st of December and received it today (7th dec). Very quick shipping to uk.
Really happy with the wallet. Thanks very much.
Hi Owen, received my iPocketWallet on Fri. Very good quality. Just what I was looking for. Thak you for a great product and service.
I'M AMAZED! I ordered my Iwallett on Sunday evening, had an order confirmation from Owen on the Monday morning and the wallet arrived in the UK this morning (Fri). I opted for version 2.0 as I wanted the note section. Quality is brilliant and my iPhone fits in the wallet even with it's rubber protection sleeve – just as Owen suggested in a previous review. I would also agree that the wallet does not need the phone section at the front, who wants there credit cards slapping them around the face when you answer a call? If you want a protective case for your phone go elsewhere. If you want to put your phone in a wallet with your cards and dosh then this is for you – ITS BRILLIANT! Owen don't discontinue this version as it fits Uk bills perfectly, albeit for a Uk photocard driving licence the window section is not quite the right shape, but this is a minor point. This is a fantastic product and I will definatley be recommending it to my friends and family.
Just ordered mine—- exactly what I was looking for.
For those that think it should be designed different with the phone in front, etc…… heck— the thing is only $45—- but this model now and use it and maybe in a year or two they will have something different—- and you'll most likely be using a different phone by then anyways….
Great looking product– can't wait to get it and do a full review!
I was looking for a high end case for my blackberry, and come across your website. I love the design, it's so clever!
I work in outside sales and have meetings throughout the day,where I am running around from office to office with tons of materials.
I often end up leaving my wallet or phone in the office,which is so stressful. Your product put a stop to that.
Now, I have everything in one safe place and it makes my life so much easier.
I receive tons of comments from my clients and even purchased a few as holiday gifts. Everyone loved them!!
Thank you..
Not only a great product, but a great guy to do business with. I received the 3.0 version for Christmas and after trying it out, decided the 2.0 version with the money sleeve would work better for me. Owen waived the restocking fee and my replacement arrived lightning fast after I returned the original.
Unfortunately, there was a slight defect in the replacement's stitching – nothing major, purely cosmetic. I emailed Owen a couple of pics and within an hour or two he emailed me back agreeing that it wasn't acceptable and that he'd send me out a new one today – and to keep the old one for my troubles!
I challenge anyone to find a company that stands behind their product and offers better customer service than Owen. My phone and I couldn't be happier. Thanks!
I had been looking for a wallet for my iPhone with just the very configuration of this wallet. I purchased and was very pleased with the first version of the wallet. Since then, I have upgraded successively to all three versions of this wallet, and I have been pleased with each one. Each has been a good refinement of the previous wallet, improving on the size and quality of the leather. The wallets wear well, and always invoke comments from people when they are surprised that my iPhone is IN my wallet!
On each purchase of the wallet, Owen has shipped it extremely quickly, and has personally followed up with me about how I like the wallet.
I would absolutely encourage anyone to purchase this wallet. Wallets are very personal in terms of what an individual is looking for, and how they want to use the wallet. If this style wallet is something you think would work for you, don't hesitate for one minute in making your purchase. You will not be disappointed.
I'm one of those people who love the idea of minimal items on the go. 3 keys and a AAA Fenix on the ring, a wallet and that's it. For a short time there was an imported case that fit the bill of case/wallet. This did not last when I determined the iphone was just too slippery and a fingerprint nightmare. A very thin Innocase and PowerSupport matte screen cover made the phone a pleasure to hold and eliminated constant cleaning. It also solved my distaste for Apple's recent 'Shiny' fetish or what ever you'd like to call it. I know I'm not alone in this opinion
For months I checked on any new developments in the iphone wallet category, but all seemed to require a naked phone, not to mention dealing with a clip or some other pretentious design.
I can't remember how I linked to this site, but after reading the feedback and Owen's comments I took a chance on the 3.0. It's perfect in every respect for my needs. My thin cased phone is only slightly snug the first day. The soft leather will easily break in and ease with use.
For the curious, I use 3 of the card slots on the left, some cash in the second opening and another plastic card and paper card under that.
For now I have my drivers license over the phone.
I measure around 1 1/8 or 30mm thickness today, and I'll guess this will relax to 1 inch after some handling. The card flap almost closes now, so I have every reason to believe it will close all the way once the spine and corners break in.
Outstanding – Thank You Owen
Finally got the wallet, had some complications in it arriving, but tracking resolved those issues! The wallet is just as you would imagine from pix. Works great, looks great, made very well! If you have been looking for such a solution, I see no better options at this time.
I made a slight modification to mine. I use earphones with mic most of the time and am always on the phone, so I put a 1/2 inch slit in the leather just where the headphone jack goes. This allows me to keep the headphones plugged in while I take the phone in and out of the wallet. It looks a little less clean but does not effect the hold of the phone in the wallet. Thanks!!
Ну ничего себе, каждый ваш пост просто шедевр мировой литературы=)
Very nice wallet. Great to have an all-in-one package. Simple design, quality leather, and well thought out. My only criticism is that is bulkier than I expected. I like the slimness of the iPhone in my pocket. I am hoping this will compress more over time. But still nice with my phone in one pocket and my wallet in the other. In general I would recommend it.
Great – give it about 4 days of use – the wallet conforms perfectly
This is the perfect solution for me. When I first opened the package I had doubts that the wallet wouldnt fit my Iphone with an Iskin solo. When I tried it on I was really surprised! It went in smoothly. I was so amazed! I love this wallet! Specially with the bills section. I was able to fit in 3 cards plus my atm card. My driver's license too. Perfect! Love the leader too! Smells so sweet indeed. Thanks so much Owen. Till next time…
What can I say, it fix my NEXUS ONE perfectly, i was a little skeptical because there weren't any reviews on the site about fitting this phone, but I talked to Owen and he assured me it would work and also said he would waive the restocking fee if I choose to send it back. After three days of using it the wallet really conformed nicely to the phone like what other people have said in the reviews. I am a happy customer! Thanks O – will be recommending you to my friends.
Received today both 2.0 & 3.0 versions. Very soft & nice leather for both. I find 3.0 a little bit to tight vs 2.0 which I prefer also for its note pocket.
Very nice products. Waiting for 4.0
Keep up the good work !

Well, I've had my ipocket wallet for a month or so now and I really love this thing! Life is much easier having one thing to carry now.
Holds everything I need, cash , credit cards, license, phone, etc.
After it breaks in it's even nicer.
Well built and I get plenty of compliments on it… people think it's really cool—- which it is!
Okay.. now for my wish list of features I would like to see:
First and most important— a hole cutout so the iphone can be charged while still in the iwallet. I charge on the road and it would be nice to leave it in the case.
Second— on part where you put your license – I also keep insurance info in the pocket underneath. Items feel pretty loose on that side– would be nice to have a security flap to hold them in place.
Third— a possible option for a window where the phone goes— so you could look thru from the outside (wallet folded) and see who was calling without removing the phone.
Other than that– I really like this thing!
Nice job!
Wallet is genious. I use it for my ipod touch, and everything fits great. High quality contruction. Fast shipping, I ordered it Sunday, received it Thursday. I will definitely be buying another when this one wears out.
Awesome product! If what you are looking for is a wallet that also holds your phone, this is it. Would happily buy again.
As someone who typically buys Coach leather products, my standards were high and I was a bit hesitant to pull the trigger on a private label. Overall quality has been fantastic and I'm extremely satisfied.
I literally spent hours reading reviews and poring over every offering on the market for a droid case. Everything else seemed more focused on being a stand alone case for just the phone and not a phone and wallet combo like this one. The big difference to me was that a case alone added bulk to the phone and I still had to carry my wallet. This makes the total package of phone and wallet smaller and easier to manage than carrying them separately.
Only tweaks I could possibly want would possibly be a couple small punch-outs in the wallet for headphones and charger access? Possibly small elastic loop on the thick (phone) side where a fisher space pen could ride and not add additional bulk to the package (only thing I miss about a previous Fisher space pen wallet was the built in pen slot).
Thanks again for an awesome product! Kind of wish I'd bought two now just to have a back-up!
good stuff does exactly what it says
I recently upgraded to a Motorola Droid and had purchased a black plastic case along with it. I wanted to leave the plastic case on and purchase a thin leather case for added protection.
I watched the YouTube Video and emailed Owen with a picture of the plastic case. He reassured it would fit. I placed the order and received it across the USA in 3 days.
Yippeeee my Droid, along with the plastic case, slide in the wallet. It is snug, but I can pull the phone in and out without any struggle. The leather should form in a few days.
The wallet is nicely made, stitched well and smells good. Extra slots for extra things. No it does not have open slots for accessories. I had read some reviewers had cut the leather for access. But this is a wallet and is to be used for storage and protection.
Thanks, I had been wrapping my phone in a cloth.
Ordered wallet on Sunday, received it following Saturday in the U.K. – As described, even more compact than envisaged.
Just wanted to thank you for a great product. You service was excellent. I am very picky about products that I purchase and the wallet was exactly what I was looking for. Good Quality and fits everything I need.
Thank You again.
I was going nuts always having to care a seperate wallet in one pocket and my iPhone in another. Not to mention the number of times I inadvertently forgot one or the other on the table leaving the house. After quite a long time of searching for a wallet for an iPhone online and in many stores I came across the iPocket wallet. Being skeptical at first especially after seeing the quality of wallets out there not to mention the gaudy leather look I did not know what to expect. When I opened the package I was immediatly relieved to find a very nice and sporty wallet with the nice smell of real leather. I wanted to post right away ,but I needed to give it some time to test the quality of the wallet. Im pretty tough on wallets for some reason or maybe the wallets i've had were just crap. I never overstuff or throw around I just use normally. I had a Tumi before this that just fell apart within a few months. I am pleased to say after a month of owning this wallet there are no signs of threads comming loose or leather tearing. So far so good and the best part is I never forget one or the other anymore.
Got my Ipocket wallet after seeing a work colleague with one, and I really like it, Its just as bulky as my previous iphone cover but at least I can carry around my bank cards and some money without having to carry a wallet as well. One thing I would like is a hole for the headphone socket so I can listen to music without having to take the phone out of the cover-It should be easy to fix and would be a small but great improvement for the next version. By the way its a wallet not a purse, purses are for coins!!!!
This is a great wallet/phone case for the N1. The new leather makes for a snug fit at first, but softens up beautifully after a short time. The stitching is perfectly symmetrical with the smart design of the high quality leather components. The leather is really nice and smells good too. The felt lined phone pocket with an expanding gusset show attention to detail, and make for an impressive and well thought out way to consolidate a phone case and wallet into a very useful personal accessory. I'm smitten. Thanks iPocketWallet for a great product, fast delivery, and super follow up.
Hi, Owen.I just got mine in the mail this week, and wanted to let you know I love it. The leather is stretching quickly, so the wallet is already adapting to my iPhone and credit cards.Great item. Thanks again!
I've had my pocketwallet 3.0 for several months now, and it's by far the best wallet I've ever owned! Took 11 days to ship to Canada (acceptable), and a few more days until it flexed into proper shape. I almost gave up on an iphone wallet, as most were too simple or required you to use the iphone while it's still in the wallet. I like the feel of the iphone and didn't want a silly sleeve for the thing… just a convenient place to store it (and this wallet is certainly that).
I usually buy cheap wallets and keep them for years. I really stepped out of my comfort zone to buy this one. Not only that, I also bought the wallet for an HTC Droid Incredible which is a pretty tall phone so I was also worried it would not fit. I e-mailed the link for support on the site and received a very quickly response from the staff (or owner) and was assured that if my phone did not fit he would refund my money and pay to ship it back.
When I first got the wallet I had to force my phone into the pocket of the wallet. It was extremely tight and awkward to get in. I was ready to ship the wallet back when I remembered that I read somewhere that the wallet would stretch a little after use. I kept my phone in the wallet and used it for a day. The next day I had still had a slight struggle to get my phone in and out of the pocket quickly after it would ring or when I heard a notification. I had to pinch the corner of my phone a litter harder than I wanted to in order to pull it out of the pocket. Now three days later my Droid Incredible is fitting more and more comfortably. I wish it was not quite so tight still, but I can already pull the phone in and out with relative ease and I am sure it will only get easier in time.
I would definitely buy this product again.
Awesome wallet. It fits the new iPhone 4 great. Thanks!
Awesome wallet. It fits the new iPhone 4 great. Thanks!
Waited 9 hours online at the apple store to test this out.
Perfect fit! Hope you enjoy it.
This wallet is absolutely awesome!! Its well crafted, looks and feels very solid, i like this compact design! The shipment is very fast, it took 4 days to Vienna (Austria).
Thank you.
I rarely post reviews, but recently received the iWallet and have to say it does exceed the expectations I had when I ordered it. It is well made. I have a iPhone 4 and the fit in the pocket for the phone is perfect. If there was one improvement that I could see being made is if the outside cover was maybe 1/4 inch longer/tall. Currently it is almost perfectly the size of the length of the iPhone. If the outside cover were slightly larger it may provide a bit more protection to the top and bottom of the phone.
I just received the wallet for my iPhone 4 and it fits with the bumper case. It was tight at first, but after a day it stretched and fits good. I just thought I'd let you know just in case you wanted to let customers know it will work.
Habe mein iWallet Samstags per paypal bezahlt, Montags eine email erhalten, dass das Paket verschickt wurde (nach Deutschland)und Donnerstag war es bereits im Briefkasten, einfach nur Spitze!!
So schnell geht es teilweise noch nicht einmal innerhalb des Landes.
Die Tasche (iWallet) hat auch überzeugt. Ich habe in Deutschland keine Tasche bzw. keinen Anbieter gefunden, der etwas vergleichbares anbietet. Man bekommt genug unter, allerdings passt der Personalausweis nicht ganz genau aber ab November 2010 wird ja sowieso der Personalauseis in EC-Kartenformat eingeführt und dann hat sich diese Problem erledigt.
Ich kann iWallet nur weiterempfehlen und der Preis dafür ist in Ordnung.
Grüsse aus Deutschland
Owen, thanks so much for your very responsive service. You shipped very quickly and the wallet looks very nice. Thank you!
I have received today and very pleased!
Comfortable and functional, thanks!
best reg Vladimir
Owen was awesome to deal with. Shipped me 3 wallets in just over a week. The product is fantastic and everyone I got one for swears by it now. I have also been complemented at least a hundred times on how nice it looks. "Dude… there a #$@%ing computer in your wallet!"

aint it to much "work" during incomming caal to open it and take your iphone???
i like the wallet , but want the iphone sleeve ontop of it!!
is that possible in the near future???
All excellent. Pleasant seller. High quality product. Received in Russia.
Excellent product. A little stiff at first, but the leather settled after just a few days. Super fast shipping.
Wow, the pictures on your website don't come close to doing this wallet justice!
They can't capture the smell and the feel of the supple richness of the leather.
Fabulous, love it. Thank you!
Arrived today, thanks very much. First impressions – I like the smell of the leather! Looks nice, feels quality and is compact. Nice brand embossing inside – gives a further impression of quality. I kind of expected it to be thick with the iPhone in but still a little surprised, but that's not a criticism and it's fine in the pocket. OTOH, probably a more snug fit if the iPhone has some kind of cover, but not a problem as it folds up securely and can't fall out.
In practice works well. The phone rang in my jeans pocket while driving and I managed to pull over, fish it out and answer within two or three rings, so really no problem there. And it makes a fine wallet if you're not taking the phone with you (because your daughter is playing games on it!).
Very happy with the iPocketWallet – it's just what I've been after.
Does it fit iphone 4?
image shown here is a 3GS
Just got mine yesterday. I really do like it. It's nice to have everything consolidated. A fine quality product!!
Very nice case. It arrived in about four days, not bad coast to coast. The first thing I noticed was the great smell of good leather. The second thing I noticed was how soft the wallet was and how well constructed it was. I am very happy with it. The only suggestion would be to flip the credit card openings 180 degrees, thereby making it more friendly to right handers by allowing you to use your right hand to remove/replace the phone and credit cards with your right hand.
Got mine today and will be giving it to my Dad as a Christmas present. It looks perfect and is much better than anything else I've seen, and the delivery was quicker than I expected. I'm sure he'll love it! Thanks!
I received this product today and I have to say that it is better quality than I expected. The quality of the leather is great and it fits my device (Motorola Droid – No case) perfectly.
I moved to this product because I had a Seido Innocase, which worked great with the clip holster, but eventually after sliding the phone open so much, the little tabs that hold the case on wore down to the point where they were brittle. I imagine they either slide against eachother or the inside of the phone and wear down over time. I hadn't even had my case a year.
After having my phone in my pocket for a long while with no case, I came across this site and decided to try it out. Works great for my purposes. Thank you!
Great product..incredibly functional! Built to last even in the harshest situations like fishing, hiking, etc…
I'm using the iPocket Wallet for a few month with my iPhone 4.
The idea and the wallet character is unpayable. But… Perfect fit isn't the right term if u are using an iPhone 4. It fit's – okay – but it looks a little bit ugly.
Over all i would buy an iPocket Wallet again, because carrying my iPhone and my cards togehter has no alternative solution on market for iPhone cases. And the pricing is ok for me.
is iPocketWallet 2.0 still available. i want this 2.0 version not the 3.0 version?????
I just got my new iPocketWallet as a gift and I love it. I use it for my Droid 2 and, after a little breaking-in, it fits perfectly.
This makes a great gift for anyone with a smartphone.
Sounds brilliant but how on earth do you listen to it on the move. I'm always plugged in to a podcast or book – or taking a call on the earphones whilst driving. Do you just make a hole?
Well after surfing for 4 hours and reading the above reviews over and over again I have just bought one.
The main thing I like about all the reviews is how happy owners are and even with suggestions about changes it has stayed the same design. I'm a great beleavier in " if it's not broken – don't fix it ".
Looking forward ti it arriving and will come back here and update my short review.
Regards John

Well it arrived on Wednesday ( that is very fast to UK ) and it is first class. I already have had loads of questions for people just seeing me pull the phone from my wallet…..
I was in Apple store Norwich today and the manager took all the details as he is going to order one.
Guy's order one you will be very pleased…
Have the 2.0 wallet and it's lasted more than 2 years already, but was wondering when I go to replace it if you will bring back the outer money flap and home key tab holder. I like to carry cash (and spare key) and I would like not to have to pull out all the cash just to grab a bill and show everyone how much cash I am carrying. If you definitely will not bring this feature back, I'd hate to get another wallet from someone else. Thanks!
Great! Finally an iPhone slipcase with a REAL wallet, all in one!
Shipping 2 ipocketwallets to Italy took only 20 days, a record from USA, I can assure.
Here you need a card for everything + ID, driving licence and tax-health cards have to be with you all the time so… could do with a few more card slots.
Unfortunately Italian ID doesn't fit just for about 3mm
Good quality leather and finishing
I've had my ipocketwallet since my 3GS. I now have the 4 and the ipocketwallet is still going strong. Love it. The clear-window case is too small to show license etails, and it's starting to become a bit loose (cards fall out when phone is not in it), but it's still awesome and I love it.
Gave this to my husband as a Christmas present. He had the earlier version for about two years which he used until it literally fell apart – and he is really, really hard on wallets. Ordered the new version at the last minute, it arrived quicker than I could have ever imagined. Nice, high end, high quality product that looks like it will last at least two years if not more. I recommend this wallet to anyone needing a convenient way to carry their iphone. Thank you so much!
Mine arrived today and unfortunately does not fit my HTC Evo3d Android phone. It is a bit longer than the wallet will allow. Was really hoping it would fit so check your dimensions before ordering.

Rob, yes it is only for the regular sized not the XL sized droids. Send it back for a full Refund, Thanks!
I have had my Iphone for over a tear Now and I love it. I have bought 12 diffrent cases, I have tried all designs.
I can honestly say this is by far the best one so far. Everything is kept all together and the quality is supperb. I live in scotland and it only took 4 days for delivery wow and well done.
Interested in getting one, but one thing bothers me and wondering how users felt about it. When the phone rings, I would like to be able to open the wallet and see who is calling without taking the phone out. It seems that a slimmer version could be designed to hold only the phone on the left, not in a pocket. That way you could open the wallet and immediately see who is calling. Additionally, you can grab that quick photo without taking the phone out (assuming there is a hole on the back of the cover). It would also make it easier to plug in the headphones and listen to music. I just can't seem to find a wallet that does this, while having room for credit cards, license, cash, etc.
I researched a lot before deciding on a protective cover for my new iphone 4s. I want to carry it in my front pocket and not get scratched by keys and coins but all of the cases I found were ugly and heavy. I stumbled onto this one and realized that I could carry my ID and credit cards with me in the same wallet as my phone and leave my bulky hip pocket wallet at home for 90% of my needs. I ordered it and received it a lot faster than expected. I absolutely love it. The leather is top quality and softened in just a few days. It is quick to retrieve the phone and keeps it as safe and secure as my credit cards in my front pocket where it won't get banged around or left behind. My wife loved it so much I just ordered another one for her to keep in her purse so she has the essential elements all in one spot without searching through her purse for credit cards and ID. This is a great concept well executed.
My only suggestion is to open a small port under the bottom right phone speaker to increase the volume of the ringer while in the wallet inside a pocket or purse. The vibrate function was my first clue when the phone was ringing when in a noisy environment. I just drilled out two small holes in the leather under the right side speaker where the ring tone comes from and tested it in my pocket. The ringer volume was substantially increased with only a minor alteration. TIP: The old style phone ringer option seems to be the loudest and easiest ring tone to hear while in the pocket. I would highly recommend this as the single best way to carry an expensive cell phone in either a pocket or a purse.
For those like the earlier reviewer who worry about getting to the phone quickly enough- it only takes a second to pull out the wallet and the phone once the leather is softened. Putting the wallet safely back into the pocket while unlocking the phone with the other hand is just as simple simple and quick for those worrying about security. You just have to try it before you realize how simple it is. It is actually quicker and safer than the belt side carrier I used to use on my last phone and doesn't get caught on door handles and corners. For those who want to use their phone while in a wallet to text or listen to music there are lots of ugly wallets with the phone exposed when you unfold the wallet but I personally don't want to hold a wallet to my ear to answer the phone with my ID and credit cards exposed.
I have been using iPocket since the iPhone 3, buying the latest model each time. My question is will the new iPocket fit the iPhone5? I preordered my iPhone5 today and would love to have a new iPocket wallet for my new phone. The iPhone5 dimensions: 4.87 height, 2.31 width, .30 thickness. Thanks!
Great Question.. I actually made a mock up sized iPhone 5 and it fit snug in the iPocketWallet 5th Gen.
I will update this post once I get my hands on the one September 21st !
THANKS! i dont mind a snug fit at first, as the leather always softens with use.
Keep us informed if there will be a 5.1 version to fit the new lenght of the iphone5.
Thanks again on your product, so many people have commented on it, i point them here each time.
Being an existing customer – I received and email for new model wallet – with a discount code for $10 off – how come it only gives $5 off!!!????……..
I have an ipocketwallet 3 or 4, not quite sure which & I've found my new iphone 5 fits but only just. Would like a bigger version of the wallet so my question is: is the ipocketwallet 5 any bigger than previous versions? If it's not then will you be producing a bigger version? I think the wallets are great but not if you're trying to shove a phone in that's too big. My iphone 5 is so tight it presses the power button down & thats on a well worn in soft old case.
Fantastic question.
I think this is what most existing iPocketWallet customers are thinking and I am glad it's coming from you and not me.
Let me explain…
The wallet is slightly larger the the previous version, we took this into account when ordering for the future iPhone 5. It's still fits the previous versions phones, but it just big enough to fit the new iPhone 5.
You are right, the iPhone 5 is SNUG, even with the iPocketWallet 5th Gen.
But.. that is only initially when you first unwrap your new wallet from getting it in the mail. Once you use the wallet for about a week the leather loosens up and conforms to the phone. That SNUG feeling no longer exist and the wallet slides in and out with ease.
————– NOTE ON website
NOTE: In time, the leather will soften, become supple, lay nice and flat and soon hug all your wallet items. This is normal for most quality leather wallets. The wallet will usually conform within a week of normal use and any of that 'new leather bulky feel' will disappear. It will soon feel as comfortable as an old shoe.
This is very true, and I experienced it myself since my iPhone5 came in the mail September 21st. It only took 2 days for it to feel like an old shoe. But I like to play with my iPhone5 probably more then others!
Email me your address and I will ship you a new iPocketWallet 5.
Once the wallet arrives and you used it for a week or so, comment back on here for a review from an unbiased existing customer review.
OK, so I now have the new iPocketWallet 5 for my iPhone 5. It is indeed bigger than the version 4 wallet I had before (about 5-6mm longer) and fits the iPhone 5 very well even when new. As the leather softens i'm sure it'll be even better.
Other differences from the old one are double stitching on all the seams, never had a problem with seams coming apart on my old very well worn wallet, but can only be a good thing. The ID window is bigger which is better for my work ID as all the info is now on show. The leather is definitely softer / better quality than before as well, not sure but it's probably thinner too, maybe that's why they've gone for the double stitching?
For me this is definitely the best thing out there. The only way I'll be buying anything different is if iPocketWallet produce a version with a full sized money pocket around the outside. I never had one but I believe the first version was like this but changed because many people thought it was too bulky? I think now with the new leather and the iphone itself being thiner/lighter this would work very well.
I have the iPocketWallet 3 or 4, which I used with my iPhone 3GS and love it! The fit is perfect. However, I recently got the iPhone 5 and it does not fit. Actually I can jam it in there but that is not what I consider a good fit. When I first order my iPhone 5, I checked out the dimensions online and it did not appear that the iPocketWallet 5 would accommodate it. I read some comments about a snug fit and I'm concerned about the fit being too snug and have some concerns and reservations. Are there any plans to create a larger wallet?
The iPocketWallet 5th Gen is larger then previous wallets.
Read the above comment I left.
do you take paypal as a payment method?
You didn't leave an email address for me to contact you. We can accept Paypal. Email email@example.com and I will give you instruction how.
This fits the Iphone 5 like a Champ! It's a quality product for a reasonable price and fast shipping.
As a result of the new dimensions of the IPhone, the "George Costanza" wallet bulk does not exist here!
Thanks Owen
Got it today thanks for the help Owen, By the way the wallet is perfect!
Just ordered mine. I cant wait. My old one is to tight for the iPhone 5
iPocketWallet is simply perfect.
OK, so I now have the new iPocketWallet 5 for my iPhone 5. It is indeed bigger than the version 4 wallet I had before (about 5-6mm longer) and fits the iPhone 5 very well even when new. As the leather softens i'm sure it'll be even better.
Other differences from the old one are double stitching on all the seams, never had a problem with seams coming apart on my old very well worn wallet, but can only be a good thing. The ID window is bigger which is better for my work ID as all the info is now on show. The leather is definitely softer / better quality than before as well, not sure but it's probably thinner too, maybe that's why they've gone for the double stitching?
For me this is definitely the best thing out there. The only way I'll be buying anything different is if iPocketWallet produce a version with a full sized money pocket around the outside. I never had one but I believe the first version was like this but changed because many people thought it was too bulky? I think now with the new leather and the iphone itself being thiner/lighter this would work very well.
Just got my iPocketWallet today and i have to say its perfect. The leather is super sturdy and stitched perfectly. 4 Credit Card slots, two pockets for bills and receipts separate. a dedicated drivers license slot an extra pocket just in case and room for the iPhone 5. My iPhone 5 fits snugly into its pouch and over time the leather will stretch just enough to fit the iPhone 5 a little looser. All-in-all you cannot beat the iPocketWallet to secure your idevice securely.
Thanks Owen!!
Wow ! When I change my Iphone 4 to a 5, my old Ipocket wallet was too small… And I can't live without my wallet !!!
The new Ipocket wallet is nearly perfect. Soft, my Iphone 5 fits perfectly. They made a real good wallet.
I wrote nearly perfect… Because I add a leather folder for the money. My cobbler just add the same leather outside the Ipocket, leaving all the place my paper money!
I would like to put a picture – it's awesome !
The wallet arrived really fast. If you want a wallet & phone case, this will make you happy. A bit thicker than I like with everything in it's place, because I am front pocket carrier, but I think it will work out. Nice leather.
Hey Dan, give it a couple days and that thickness feeling will go away once the leather loosens up. Thanks.
Just got my ipocket wallet and so far so good, I hated carrying a wallet and my phone when they really go together so this has been a good product so far.
Is the 5x different from the 5? Seems like i just recently saw a different website – video – etc.
Yes, the 5X is taller, reinforced single stitched with slightly thicket thread, and smoother leather – but everything else is the same. We designed this wallet to fit better with the iPhone 5
Hi Owen
Thank you so much for my new wallet, it's beautiful, does exactly what I wanted and it arrived so promptly even though from the USA and I'm in the UK
Workmanship and design are great
Looking forward to it softening up and becoming my best go every where buddy for many years to come
Merry Christmas

The list of locations can be a little off. I know that when my location is sent out by my ISP it says Ossining NY because that is where my service is provided from even though I live 15 miles away in Peekskill.ReplyDelete
Still it is impressive seeing people here from every corner of the globe.

I am astounded by how far you've reached in such a short period of time! Although I (regrettably) do not visit nearly as often as I should, your blog is among the best and most interesting geo blogs I've yet to see. I'm very proud of you, and it's always an inspiration when someone has so much passion for something, (especially when that person is your PhD adviser! lucky me!) Keep it up!ReplyDelete
- Kristen G.June 30, 2011 at 3:36 PM
woops! That comment was from me (not "Hunter College GeoClub). I used to keep a blog for them, and somehow it's still connected to my name!ReplyDelete
I may not comment, but be assured I read every single blog post and even repost some. I LOVE reading your ramblings/rantings! :)ReplyDelete
You are doing great in terms of traffic - my blog is nearly 4 years old and has not topped out 60,000 page views yet (it really started gathering steam about a year ago). My biggest month has been 9,000 pageviews but 4000-5000 is more typical. 150-250 views per day (max around 700).ReplyDelete
Hope you have fun in the uk, will u be giving any talks etc here in london?ReplyDelete
Greetings, CEENTV. No, not this time. I probably will give a talk when I return (to London) in January, 2012. This time, although I will be in London for a few days, I am really coming over to present a paper at the International Medical Geographers Symposium in Durham.ReplyDelete
Congrats! and thanks for your posts !ReplyDelete
Very depth, thanks for the information!ReplyDelete

Name on License
Your driver's license must show your full and current name for purposes of identification. A married woman may continue to use her maiden name after marriage or she may adopt the surname of her husband or of a previous husband. If she adopts her husband's surname, she may use her maiden name as her middle name if she wishes. A married woman may also change her name if the marriage ends in annulment or divorce, or if her husband dies. All other name changes in Texas require a court order.
Proof of Name Change
Texas officials will issue a license in your new name if you prove that you changed it legally. Acceptable documents include a marriage license, final decree of divorce, amended birth certificate, death certificate of a spouse or a certified court order. Marriage certificates and divorce decrees from other countries must be in English or you must attach a certified English translation. Same-sex marriage certificates are not accepted in Texas.
If you live in the state of Texas, go to any office that issues driver's licenses, complete an application in person with proof of your name change. At the time of publication, the fee for this service is $11.00. If you live in another state or overseas, you may apply for a name change by mail. The necessary forms may be downloaded from the Texas Department of Public Safety website, or you may request a packet to be mailed to you. If you are in the military, complete and sign the RIS-50, Out of State/Country Application and the DL-43, Texas Driver License & Identification Card Renewal Duplicate Application. You must also complete and sign form DL-15, United States Selective Service Registration, if you are not in the military and a male between the ages of 18 and 26. Attach proof of the name change along with the applicable fee.
After 30 Days
If you fail to request an updated driver's license within 30 days of the date of the name change, follow the usual procedure of applying in person or by mail, but be prepared to pay a late fee if necessary. If you receive a ticket for failing to update your name on your driver's license within the required 30-day period, the judge may dismiss the charges as long as you correct the matter within 20 days of receiving the ticket. You may also need to pay an administrative fee of up to $20.00 as of the date of publication, but the judge has discretion to waive the fee.

By TIM UNRUH – Salina Journal. See original Salina.com article
WICHITA — Kansas State University at Salina plans to establish by this fall a campus in Wichita that will offer flight training, Dennis Kuhlman, dean of K-State at Salina said Thursday.
Kuhlman said the campus will be at the National Center for Aviation Training in Wichita, which is near Jabara Airport in north Wichita. The expansion, which will require Kansas Board of Regents approval, has been in the works for about a year, he said.
"It allows K-State at Salina to gain additional students in Wichita in the flight program, and offers an opportunity to Wichita State University students that they don't currently have," Kuhlman said.
The potential for the new campus is an additional 30 students, he said. The Salina campus typically has 200 to 250 students in the professional pilot program, said Kurt Barnhart, aviation department head.
Aviation engineering students at WSU will enjoy the opportunity to have flight training closer to their main campus.
"This just meets a need," Kuhlman said. "We're a land grant institution. Our responsibility is to try to provide education to the students of Kansas."
Reporter Tim Unruh can be reached at 785-822-1419 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Cops: Man Kills Woman, Self at Ore. Lab
A man opened fire with a rifle Tuesday at a drug-testing laboratory in suburban Portland, killing one woman and wounding two other people before fatally shooting himself, police said.
No names were immediately released.
The Tigard-Tualatin School District was in lockdown following the shooting at Legacy MetroLab, which was reported at 11:48 a.m.
"There were people running all over the place when the officers first responded," Tualatin Police Chief Kent Barker. "It was pretty chaotic at first."
One of the wounded was taken to Emanual Hospital, while the other was flown to Oregon Health & Science University hospital in Portland, police said. Their conditions were not available.
Witnesses said a woman in a bloodied lab coat ran into a nearby Subway sandwich shop after the shooting.
Alina Kurtavenao, who works at the Subway, said the woman had blood on a leg and on her forehead.
"She wasn't crying, she wasn't scared. I think she was in shock," she said.
Other businesses in the area include a framing store, a bank and a locksmith. The office mall was evacuated when police arrived.
Legacy MetroLab conducts drug and alcohol testing for employers and others, according to company spokeswoman Kathleen Gorman.
"There were probably six people working there," said Travis Bonser, a teller at a Chase Bank across the street. "It's just a regular lab."
With about 26,000 residents, Tualatin is a middle-class community about 13 miles south of Portland. It is also the site of the practice facility for the Portland Trail Blazers.

...that makes me often think if there is no way that you can avoid corruption in the professional world because so bound is everything together that the more you try to resolve dependencies, the more they crop up in another form, in another aspect or place.
Ignoring Mr. Lingo-Nathan (a hideous rule-obsessed maniac), if a resource goes absent on the first day of a Sprint to the 7th day after the Sprint Backlog is planned (Mr. Lingo-Nathan would insist that the resource should not have gone on leave!), and a replacement resource is allocated the same work and the hours are billed as planned, how does it affect productivity, when we measure the effort of both Resource X and Y?
It is not a question that I pose but a preamble to manage Scrummers and Sprinters separately when doing Scrum.

Mike Sampson: Inside Rev9
Mike Sampson (aka Sampy) has done some stellar work with the backend architecture and design of the next version of Channel 9, code named "Rev9," and this fifth version includes a revamped UI and restructured backend.
In this conversation (it's a long and deep one, so set aside some time—it's well worth it), Sampy takes us through how and why he designed the new Channel 9 architecture. "Rev9" appears to be a very scalable and modern system built on tried and true technologies and architectural patterns such as MVC 2.0, Unity (from P&P), NHibernate, Fluent NHibernate, Memcached, Enyim Managed Memcached driver, Azure – Fabric, Storage, Diagnostics, SQL Azure, xUnit (testing only), Live ID, Spark View Engine, Akismet (spam filtering service), AntiXSS, Tinymce, jQuery, and Silverlight.
Sampy's great work is simply astounding. I left his office feeling more confident than ever that Channel 9 will scale to the future and the experience of performance and reliability will be at an all time high. Thank you, Sampy, Duncan, Cara, Geoff, Clint, and Dan. The revolution is now televised and in full swing.

That's for the high res WMV... This is a 72 minute interview. High res = 848x480 with 3mbs+ bit rate.... Download the lesser quality WMV version or the mp4.
No worries, wasn't really a criticism - just the largest video that I recall seeing.
Noticed the Connect option for Channel 9 feedback - is this preffered over feedback via the forum?
Yep. For Rev9 bugs and feedback, please use Connect!!
I am looking @ the video, and am very interested in the way you are doing this .... are you going to release the source at any time ?
Bug tracking system for ... you know ... bugs
Are you going to share the QueryFactory design or code here ? Would appreciate if you can post some code on that subject ?
@Sampy: Is your QueryFactory design only intended to work with NHibernate ?
QueryFactory is actually very simple
namespace Channel9Controller.Infrastructure { public class QueryFactory : IQueryFactory { private readonly IUnityContainer container; public QueryFactory(IUnityContainer container) { this.container = container; } public TQueryType Create<TQueryType>() where TQueryType : IQuery { TQueryType query = container.Resolve<TQueryType>(); query.EnableCaching(); return query; } } }
The trick is that every query takes an NHibernate ISession that it uses to do its work. I have that session delivered up by the Unity container so all the Query has to do is specify that it needs ISession by taking one it its constructor and it gets the session for this request. Queries can also take addition parameters if they need. Most don't need any but some need to do operations based on when Now is so they take an IClock which is a simple interface that has a single property Now. I use this instead of DateTime.Now to make things easier to test and to ensure that time is tightly controlled in the application. I even have a specialty clock that returns Now as the most recently passed 5 minute mark (10:00, 10:05, etc). I use this for checking things like Published on an Entry or Banned on a user so that the query will cache better.
Would this be possible :

awesome work you have done here.
have you blogged anything you have learned since this... also does any other projects in your office use a simlar approach/architecture?

Oil Drilling Activity
Drillers increased onshore rigs by 3 this week, bringing the total to 934. Total (including GOM) oil and gas rigs declined by 4 this week. Gulf of Mexico released 7 rigs, bringing the offshore total to 17. With crude prices below US$50 WTI, US operators continue to show signs of decelerating their drilling activities.

Natural Gas – Are markets more powerful than governments?
This week's UK energy news headlines contain reports that the largest gas supplier in the UK, British Gas, is raising prices, meaning that UK natural gas and power customers are paying more for their energy at a time when wholesale energy prices continue to soften. Interestingly, British Gas has gone on the offensive and has put most of the blame for higher prices on increased transmission and distribution costs and the costs of government policy. The energy provider cites that the various "green" tariffs and charges that are imposed by government have doubled over the past 3 years (from £81 per year in 2014, to £165 now), making up around 15% of the standard tariff gas and electricity bill.
Despite all of the talk of energy price rises in the UK, domestic consumers still benefit from some of the lowest domestic electricity and gas prices in Europe. An interesting feature to note is that wholesale energy costs in the UK have actually fallen in the last 4 years (see chart below sourced from the Financial Times utilizing data from Centrica, parent company of British Gas).
While the wholesale gas costs determined by the National Balancing Point (NBP) in the UK (and Henry Hub in the USA) are essential ingredients to the cost that industrial and residential customers pay for energy, government decisions can sometimes be a significant feature in the final delivered cost.
The ongoing battle between government and industry will be an interesting one to keep an eye on. In the UK, this battle is likely to be politically motivated as some politicians continue to talk of price caps while the defense from the energy providers is that non-energy costs are expected to continue to rise and that profit margins remain modest and are required to enable future sustained investment in energy provision.
Crude Oil – Demand supports crude prices
Strong demand in the US continues to support crude prices. The EIA reported record gasoline demand of 9.84 million barrels per day for last week and a fall in commercial crude inventories of 1.5 million barrels to 481.9 million barrels - that's below crude stock levels seen this time last year, an indication of a tightening US market.
However, high production by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is putting downward pressure on crude prices. OPEC output hit a 2017 high of 33 million barrels per day in July, up 90,000 barrels per day from the previous month.
Ample supply continues to keep a lid on prices and there are signs that the oil industry has adapted to an era of low prices and can produce and operate at levels that would previously have been uneconomic. US investment bank Goldman Sachs said this week that the oil industry had successfully adapted to oil prices around US$50 per barrel
US oil refiners have come to depend on Venezuela to feed their massive refineries. Last year alone, more than 270 MMbbl (worth about US$10 billion) was imported into America -- enough to produce about 5 billion gallons of gasoline.
An embargo on oil from Venezuela, the third biggest supplier to the US, could constrain production at Gulf Coast refineries and, at least, a temporary spike in gasoline prices. US refiners could turn to suppliers of heavy crude from Canada to Mexico to Iraq, but the move would ripple across global markets as other customers are shoved aside. It's unclear how quickly alternate sources like Canada's oil sands, most of which already go to the US, or from Mexico, which is battling supply disruptions of its own, could fill the gap.
While US refiners have been trimming Venezuelan imports for months, the nation is still a key supplier for some of America's biggest refineries. If the US decides to block Venezuelan imports, it could seek to blunt the impact by releasing oil from an emergency stockpile, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
However, those crude supplies wouldn't be a perfect match for US refineries running heavy crude from Venezuela. The release of crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve would be at best a very short-term solution.
Weekly Recaps
Oil Drilling Activity
Total US rig count (including the Gulf of Mexico) stands at 954, down 4 this week with rigs targeting oil down 1. The horizontal rig count stands at 807, down 3.
The total number of active onshore rigs increased to 934. When compared to a November 2014 figure of 1,876 active rigs, the current level remains 50% below the 2014 high.
Across the three major unconventional oil basins, the oil rig total increased to 502, with Permian flat, Eagle Ford up 3 and Williston down 1.
Crude Oil Price
Brent, the global benchmark for oil, increased US$0.18 to US$52.03 a barrel, reflecting a gain of 0.35% on the week.
WTI crude dropped US$0.17 to US$49.07 a barrel, down 0.35% on the week.
US Crude Oil Supply and Demand
US crude oil refinery inputs averaged 17.4 million barrels per day, with refineries at 95.4% of their operating capacity last week. This is 123,000 barrels per day more than the previous week's average.
US gasoline demand over past four weeks was at 9.8 million, up 0.1% from a year ago. Total commercial petroleum inventories increased by 1.1 million barrels last week.
On the supply side, EIA data indicated that total domestic crude production increased 20,000 barrels to 9.430 million barrels a day. The Lower 48 crude production now stands at 9.03 million barrels per day, up 25,000 this week.
US crude imports averaged 8.3 million barrels per day last week, an increase of 209,000 barrels per day from the previous week. Over the last four weeks, crude oil imports averaged 8.0 million barrels per day, 3.8% below the same four-week period last year.
Crude oil inventories decreased 1.5 million barrels from the previous week and persist at historically high levels. The crude stored at Cushing (the main price point for WTI) deceased 1.7 million barrels; total storage is 55.8 million barrels (~62% utilization).
