Maybe Distil Union’s ultra-minimal Wally iPhone “case” was a little too minimal for some, because the design outfit has come out with a more conventional case-wallet.
While the original Wally is a minimal strip of leather that uses a super-tacky sticky adhesive to attach to the back of an iPhone 4/5, the new Wally actually incorporates a rather standard polycarbonate shell underneath the leather for added protection. Both Wally versions include a slot at the back of the case to hide money and cards.
The new Wally Case is available for pre-order at $40 right now on its Kickstarter page, with an estimated October delivery. And unlike the original, it’s only available for the iPhone 5.

Book Book by Twelve South is much better.
Nice, but it just does not give you the flexibility needed, i.e. caring a lot of cash or giving you easy access to your cards. What about business cards? The most flexible and versatile solutions is the combination of the ibillfold2. I am the designer of this product and had used all the credit card cases out there. The ibillfold2 does everything the Wally does, but with added options.
