The Best iPhone 7 Wallet Case

Wallet cases are an interesting product. You don’t see that many of them, but when you ask someone if they like their choice you often hear how they can’t imagine going back to a regular case. The biggest reason, of course, is that for many people the wallet case replaces, well, their wallet.

I’ve used and tested my fair share of wallet cases in the past and in my experience, so many of them feel more like a wallet and less like a phone case, ignoring the important, even necessary features that make an iPhone case good like easy access to the volume and sleep/wake buttons.

Speaking of the back, it’s flat, which means you can rest your iPhone on a table or flat surface and not worry about it rocking. The back also extends further than the camera bump which means there’s an even lower chance your camera will get damaged.

When it comes to storage, Silk says the Vault is capable of holding up to three cards plus some cash in the small slot located on the backside. I’ve actually found that I can fit four cards plus a twenty. At first, I was worried that the cards might fall out, but the hold the case keeps on the cards nice and secure.

Access to the buttons and ports is great, too. On the bottom, there are three cutouts, two for the speakers and one for the Lightning port, which are big enough to allow access for many third-party Lightning cables.

Moving to the sides of the case, you’ll find two thin strips of a grippable material to aid in holding the phone. You’ll also find buttons for volume control as well as a cutout for the Mute switch. The buttons work as you’d expect them to and you can feel them easily with your fingers in nearly the same way you would on an iPhone without a case. Again, this attention to detail is one of those things that so many case manufacturers ignore. In fact, it’s not uncommon to see many manufacturers just cut around the buttons because they can’t get them right. Not Silk. They nailed it here.

It’s hard to knock this case for much. I do wish it came in more colors, perhaps like a red or something brighter than the four somewhat darker shades. I’m being picky, but I also wish there was a way to make it tad thinner. At just over 12mm thick, you definitely notice there is a case on your phone. But then again, there’s also a wallet, so I get it.

Other than that, I enjoy this case a lot. It’s simple, functional, protective and it’s actually pretty cheap. For all those reasons, this case is without question the best iPhone wallet case I’ve ever used.
