A little while ago, I treated myself to a Rebecca Minkoff Marlowe bag and I love it. However, it’s not as big as the granny tote I’m used to, so I had a hard time jamming all my things into it. Introducing the solution: the jimmyCASE wallet phone case.
The jimmyCASE is a phone case with a stretchy pocket on the back that can accommodate up to six cards. You can choose from a mahogany or a basswood core, and it has a semi-hard silicone bumper. There are quite a few color options available on jimmyCASE.com, and I went with a sort of Gryffindor-y burgundy and gold. Also, I definitely want to mention that this product was made in America! I was sent a case to review and have been testing it out for the past seven days, so here are my thoughts:
The Pros
First and foremost, I love that the silicone bumper sticks up enough to protect the screen of my phone. I can put it face down on the table and not worry about scratches. Also, since the bumper is softish, it offers some shock absorption. The cutouts for the cords and speakers etc are easy to access, and the buttons on the bumper that cover the lock button and the volume buttons are easy to push. I also like that there is a little texture on the side of the case- it makes it seem like I’ve got a better grip on my phone. The cards you have in the pocket don’t get in the way of the camera, which is also good. Finally, I love the convenience. If I want to take a small bag out, I can slide some cash and a card or two into my case instead of having to deal with an entire wallet full of things I won’t use that night.
The Cons
Honestly, there weren’t many cons! Something really small that I noticed is that the wood on the back of the case sticks up just a little. I wish it was flush with the silicone bumper, but it’s not a big deal. I also hope more color combinations will be offered in the future. There is a good selection now, but it would be great to see more. Finally, while the cards are easy to get in and out of the pocket on the back, you pretty much have to take them all out to get the one you want.
Conclusions
Overall, I’m a fan of the jimmyCASE! If you’re looking for a sleek phone wallet case to cut down on clutter or to streamline your evening clutch, I would definitely recommend this one. They are available for iPhone 4 through 6 plus and the Samsumg Galaxy S4. What do you think? Would you try a jimmyCASE?
