Which have you misplaced more, your wallet or your smartphone? Even if you just thought, “Nah, it’s gotta be my keychain,” keeping track of fewer items is always easier. And since a new iPhone can cost over $1,000, it’s important not to lose track of it. Enter the best iPhone wallet cases, the stylish and convenient way to tote around the bare necessities with a single accessory. Like the best AirPods cases, our favorite iPhone wallet cases protect our devices and look good doing it.
The best iPhone wallet cases seamlessly integrate with your style. If you’re into vibrant patterns, leather, the latest tech or anything else, there’s a wallet case for you. Whether you’re used to bifold wallets, card cases or money clips, the iPhone wallet cases of today have meshed the two vessels together so logically that you may never look back to the days of carrying both.

Many of the stylish iPhone wallet cases featured below are available for the new iPhone 13 models and previous generations of Apple smartphones. And even if they aren’t, a few iPhone models have the exact dimensions down to the millimeter, meaning your new phone could still fit an older model case perfectly. The camera hole likely wouldn’t match, but many iPhone wallet cases don’t even have camera holes.
Here are a few of the models that have the same dimensions and will fit into the same wallet cases:
iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro Max
iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro
iPhone 8 Plus + iPhone 7 Plus. These two models are different by less than 1 mm across all dimensions, so cases will likely work OK for both.
iPhone 8, iPhone SE, iPhone 7. These three models are the same sizes, so the same cases will work for each.
For example, if you purchased an iPhone 12 Pro wallet case, you may be able to use that same case for the iPhone 12, the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 Pro.
Whichever iPhone you have, look at SPY’s selections for the best iPhone wallet cases below and streamline your life. If wireless charging is important, note that not all of the models below are compatible with wireless iPhone chargers.
