Apple has done it again and created a hit smartphone with the iPhone X. It came out with an almost bezel free display, one of the best smartphone cameras ever and simply one of the best looking devices of 2017. Not only that, despite tech reviewers best attempts to make it fail, Apple’s Face ID is undoubtedly working incredibly well and is making users forget about their fingerprints. The only true downside to the iPhone X is its high price tag starting at $1000 and the cost to repair a broken display is now almost $300 as well. Every iPhone X user needs to get a case to protect their devices. The cases that offer full 360 protection are the wallet style cases which offer a front flap to protect the display and a rear case to cover the back. So which ones are the best for your iPhone X? Let’s check them out.
The Official iPhone X Leather Folio – $99 at Apple
Sure official Apple cases always cost more than third-party options, but they’re incredibly well made and fit iPhones better than all others. The official Leather Folio case for the iPhone X comes in Cosmos Blue (as shown above), Taupe, Black and Berry colors. It has a soft microfiber lining to prevent scratches, is made with soft and durable European leather and can hold a few bills, notes and several cards.
HEX Star Wars R2D2 Wallet case (limited edition) – $59.95 at Hex
HEX makes great cases and its latest limited edition Star Wars R2D2 wallet cover is perfect for all of you enthusiasts. It uses real leather, comes embossed with R2D2, has a hard internal frame to protect the X against drops, and can hold three credit cards with some room for cash as well.
UAG iPhone X Trooper – $34.95 at Amazon and UAG
If you don’t want to bother with a front flap, but still want maximal protection while carrying credit cards, you won’t find anything better than the UAG Trooper. Urban Armor Gear is known for its military grade cases that don’t add excess thickness and the Trooper has enough room to hold up to four credit cards with a relatively affordable price tag. (these are the cases I use on my own phones)
UAG Metropolis Folio – $34.95 at Amazon and UAG
If you want military grade protection all the way around your phone then go with the UAG Metropolis Folio. It meets mil-spec drop tests that are good enough to satisfy military requirements while still be thin enough to allow for wireless charging and Apple Pay without having to remove it. It also has enough room to hold a couple of credit cards too.
Twelve South Journal for iPhone X – $69.99 at Amazon and Twelve South
Pure luxury is how I would describe the Twelve South Journal case for the iPhone X. It’s 100% pure full-grain leather with a leather inlay as well. This is the kind of leather that looks better with time and wear. It also holds your X up with its built-in stand and comes in Black or Cognac.
FOGEEK iPhone X Wallet Case – $15.89 at Amazon
We don’t blame you if you can’t afford to spend a lot on a case since the iPhone X stretched you a bit thin with its massive $1000 price tag. Amazon offers great options for cheap cases and the FOGEEK Wallet Case is a solid choice for your iPhone X at $15.89 with free Prime shipping included. It can hold two cards and offers full 360 protection.
Dreem Detachable Wallet Case – $34.99 at Amazon
Versatility and cruelty free are the main selling points of the Dreem Wallet case. It uses vegan leather that still looks great and can either be used as a wallet case or standalone outer shell depending on your mood. As a wallet case it can hold three cards and protects you against RFID theft as well.
iPulse Wallet Leather Case – $34.98 at Amazon
If you want the luxury of leather without the high price tag, iPulse is a great option for you. Its wallet case for the iPhone case is made with real European leather, has a clear slot for your ID and can hold two credit cards and cash to boot. It comes in black, cognac, retro brown, green/red strip on black and wine red and only costs $35 with free Prime shipping.
HEX Camo Leather Reflective Icon Wallet Case – $49.95 at HEX
If you want something a little different that looks great too, the HEX Camo Wallet case might be for you. It uses a hard internal frame to protect your iPhone X with a camo print leather that can hold three credit cards and some cash too. It’s even reflective at night to help keep you safe while walking or jogging with your phone.
Trianium iPhone X Wallet Case – $10.49 at Amazon
At $10.49 the Trianium Wallet case is the budget deal of the list but still offers extreme protection with its premium TPU build. It also leaves your display free to use without having to unfold it and can hold at least three credit cards.
