18 One-and-done Phone Wallets With Pockets for Your Cards, Cash, and More (2024)

Updated on May 25, 2023

If you’re looking for a traditional smartphone wallet, look no further than the S-zone PU Leather RFID Blocking Cell Phone Bag. This classic crossbody-style wallet is designed to hold everything you’ll need while on the go in one safe spot. It boasts a total of 8 card slots as well as specific pockets for things like your cash or tickets, plus see-through slots identification cards.

We really like that this wallet-friendly pick comes in over a dozen different colors and patterns to best suit your specific style. The only downside is the crossbody strap is a little short and taller people might find it too uncomfortable to wear as a crossbody. That said, the straps are removable so you can easily buy a different strap or use the bag as a traditional wallet instead.

The Apple Leather Wallet with MagSafe is one of our favorite options for those in search of a simple phone wallet that won’t leave sticky residue on your smartphone or risk peeling off. The leather attachment is super sleek and sophisticated — almost like having a high-end leather wallet right on your phone — but it’s the magnetic attachment that really won us over. The strong built-in magnets clip directly on the back of your iPhone (and even on top of a phone case with MagSafe technology) so you don’t have to worry about your wallet slipping around. This pick is also equipped with Find My technology so, in the off chance that your wallet does fall off or get lost, you’ll be able to easily track its last known location.

A folio-style phone wallet is a great option if you want something that’ll function more like a traditional wallet without adding too much bulk; you can still fit it in your handbag but also carry it on its own, if desired. The Nomad Modern Leather Folio is crafted from a beautiful Horween leather material that will protect your smartphone from nicks and scratches while also offering 3 card slots and a small spot for cash and other paper essentials on the interior lining. It also offers MagSafe and wireless charging capabilities so you won’t have to worry about removing your phone case every time you want to charge it. The only downside is the leather is not scratch proof and will show wear over time. Some people feel as if this is a benefit though, as each will develop its own unique patina.

You don’t need to spend a ton just to secure a phone wallet that’ll keep your essential cards in one spot. The AgentWhiteUSA Stick-on Wallet is equipped with a high-quality, anti-slip material that won’t peel off in the heat or with heavy use. It’s also available in a ton of different colors to match your existing smartphone or phone case. Keep in mind that this is made of a flexible material that might loosen up over time — but it’s sold in a 3-pack so you can always have an extra on hand. Although it says it’ll fit 5 cards comfortably, you might want to also consider stashing fewer cards in order to prevent the rubber from stretching too much.

Some of us are just clumsy — there’s no way around it. Thankfully there are phone cases like the Smartish iPhone 14 Wallet Case which was designed to protect smartphones from fumbling hands. It’s crafted from a super durable material that has been tested and proven to survive being dropped over fifty times and from six feet onto concrete without breaking or cracking. The built-in wallet is just as durable and strong as the case itself but it only holds about 2 cards comfortably. This might not be an issue if you travel light but if you’re hoping to store 3 or more cards you might run into space issues.

The Mujjo Full Leather Wallet Case for iPhone 14 Pro is an excellent option if you’re looking for a sleek and sophisticated MagSafe wallet that won’t add bulk or weight to your smartphone. It clips onto your phone easily thanks to the microfiber lining and raised exterior bezel that wraps around the phone and holds it securely in place. The vegetable-tanned leather doesn’t scratch as easily as other leathers and, while the corners might scuff over time, the rest of the case will develop a unique patina that’ll hide flaws that eventually occur. It’s also worth noting that the card pouch is made from the same leather material as the rest of the case which means you can stuff at least 2-3 cards into the wallet without worrying about it stretching out too much.

We love the MoKo Waterproof Phone Pouch Wallet Bag for bringing a phone and other essentials out on the water — whether it’s kayaking on a lake or sailing in the ocean. It’s designed to be worn either crossbody or as a belt bag which offers extra security while doing water sports. The dry bag is made from a nylon and polyurethane material designed to block water from entering and is super easy to unzip and zip back up while on the go. The only issue we have with this option is that, unlike other waterproof phone cases, this one doesn’t have a back window so you won’t be able to snap photos while your phone is inside the bag.

Sometimes you just need a tough-looking and tough-acting phone case to protect your gear on the go — and that’s exactly what you get with the VRS Design Damda Glide Pro. This heavy-duty option is shockproof and extremely durable thanks to its polyurethane and metal construction and also just looks really cool. The automatic wallet door opens and closes to easily unveil your cards upon request and, while it only has one slot, it can easily fit up to 4 cards without getting too squishy. We also like that the metal material won’t stretch out over time like some of the other popular phone wallets, which means you won’t have to worry about your cards slipping out or getting lost.

Smartphone culture creates a lot of waste — there’s no denying it. We’re constantly upgrading and changing our phones and our phone cases, too, which results in a ton of unnecessary byproducts that end up in the landfill. If you’re looking to lessen your environmental footprint but don’t want to skip out on a phone wallet, this Pela option is made from plant fibers which means it’s fully biodegradable. It fits most smartphones (you don’t even need the matching Pela case) thanks to the super secure stick-on design, and can easily fit up to 2 plastic cards without stretching.

The Bandolier Kimberly Set is a game-changer for anyone who likes to go hands-free. It’s part standalone phone case and part crossbody bag — but the brilliant kicker is that the phone case can actually connect to the exterior of the bag to give you easy access to your phone without having to carry it right in your hand all the time. The phone case itself has a pocket for a couple cards, and it's possible to fit a passport, earbuds, and other travel essentials in the pouch. It’s sophisticated enough to pair with your existing wardrobe while the soft leather material is durable and made to last. The only slight issue we have is that, when connected to the crossbody bag, it can be difficult to actually use the phone for things like taking photos or answering a quick call.

PopSockets are a popular stick-on tool that can be used to hold your phone more stably or as a kickstand. And, if you'd like to use it with a phone wallet, you're in luck — the company actually makes one that has a PopSocket embedded in it, so you don't need to worry about compatibility with another wallet. The wallet is a hard plastic shell with an elastic cutout that allows you to slide your cards in and out. It attaches to your phone with an adhesive mount, but you can remove the thick part to wirelessly charge your device.

Crafted from a chic Saffiano leather, the Morgan Phone Wallet by Kate Spade is understated while still offering a practical solution for storing all your essentials in one spot. The wristlet boasts a total of 6 card slots as well as plenty of folds for tickets or cash and, of course, a designated pocket that is designed to fit most standard smartphones. We also really like that the wristlet strap is detachable so you can use the bag as a regular wallet or clutch depending on the occasion. The one thing you’ll want to keep in mind is this option lets your phone slip in and out so you’ll likely still want to invest in a separate phone case to protect your device.

The Spigen iPhone 14 Pro Case Crystal Slot is an awesome solution if you’re looking for something that can easily hold office identification or other passes. The see-through design allows you to quickly flash your card without having to dig it out of your wallet while also ensuring you always know exactly where it is. The phone case was crafted using a durable polyurethane material which gives it the crystal-clear aesthetic but, unlike similar-looking phone cases, this one is meant to be protective in case of drops or bumps. The only downside is that it only really fits one card — but if you’re using it for something like a transit pass, that shouldn’t matter much.

The Bandolier Donna Crossbody looks more like a minimal designer handbag than a tech accessory — and that’s why we love it so much. The sophisticated little phone wallet protects your phone from drops or damage while the built-in card pouch keeps your essential plastic on hand whenever you need it. We love that this option is available in a huge variety of stylish colors and patterns and that the crossbody strap is long enough for most people to feel comfortable using. The only downside is that the wallet, while practical and cute, can only really hold 1 or 2 cards before it starts looking and feeling tight.

Love a hidden compartment? The Spigen Slim Armor CS is right up your alley. The subtle card slot fits one or two plastic cards and is easy to open in transit, but once it’s closed, nobody will be the wiser. The polycarbonate material is super heavy-duty and durable so you won’t have to worry about your phone getting banged up even if you tend to be clumsy. The only downside? The material is admittedly quite slick so there’s a chance of it slipping out of your hands.

If you frequently take meetings or stream your favorite shows on your phone, investing in a phone wallet that has a built-in kickstand is well worth it. The Onetop Wallet Case is our favorite option not just because it’s super functional but also because it’s much more stylish and aesthetically-pleasing than the typical utilitarian kickstand. The faux leather material won’t crack or scratch easily and we like that this option comes in a myriad of cool colors from pinks and purples to other more neutral hues. The one negative is that the card slots are a little tight and might be hard to get thicker credit cards in and out.

Designer handbags can come at a premium; a great way to score a designer bag without paying the exuberantly high price tags is to opt for something smaller that can double as a purse. That’s what we love about the Saint Laurent Quilted Leather Phone Crossbody Bag. The phone holder is large enough to function as a regular crossbody bag and still fits most smartphones (which is more than you can say about certain designer micro bags!) It’s made in Italy from diamond-quilted lambskin leather and features a polished YSL emblem that won’t scratch or fade over time. The only downside is that this option holds your phone so you can go hands-free but when that’s in your hand you might want to have an additional wrap-around case for protection.

You don’t want to worry about where to place your cash or phone during a workout. That’s why the Aikendo ​​Running Belt Waist Pack Bag is your best bet if you want something you can clip on and forget about while on the move. It’s made from a moisture-wicking neoprene material that’s lightweight and super comfortable to wear. We also like that it comes in a handful of vibrant colors to match the rest of your workout gear. The only issue we found is that the belt itself doesn’t adjust smaller than 27 inches or larger than 44 so it may not fit everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What’s the difference between a phone wallet, a phone wallet case, and a mobile wallet?

  These terms may sound interchangeable, but they mean totally different things. A phone wallet can be a wallet that fits a phone or a stick-on or magnetic slot that can be used on a bare phone or over an existing phone case whereas a phone wallet case is typically a protective case with designated room for cards.

  A mobile wallet, though it sounds pretty much the same, is a digital wallet that stores your cards electronically right on your phone.

• What can I put in a phone wallet?

  Most phone wallets are designed to hold cards or cash and not a whole lot else — but certain phone wallets have additional space to fit things like a key or pair of headphones. If you need more room for your essentials, it might be worth looking into a phone case folio or even a phone wristlet or crossbody bag.

• Are phone wallets compatible with wireless chargers?

  Not every phone wallet is compatible with wireless chargers. Certain cases come with MagSafe compatibility for iPhone 12 and above, but others (like many magnetic cases) can easily be removed for charging and then stuck back on without leaving residue or losing stickiness.
