Several features about this that I like - main one is stylish, yet protective. Currently sporting a Lifeproof case which has saved my bacon several times, but something like this would be nice for a night out when I don't need the Lifeproof.
Also digging the card/money slots and the fact that it folds into a stand.
iPhone 5
The different angle choice this case gives does it for me
I really would love to have the Element Case Soft-Tec wallet for iPhone 5. Its so plush and the color combination seems just prefect for me. And the adjustable stand looks just made for my liking.
I want the iPhone one!
I would love the iPad mini. Love the sleek and slim design. Adds not much bulk and looks sexy as hell
I would love one for my iPhone 5.... Thanks!
The iphone5 case looks pretty slick and very practical. Love the material n all dat
I like the inner lining... I'd love to win the iPad mini case!
iPad mini... love the profile and colors. the adjustable stand is a huge selling point for me. i'd def love one!!
iphone please!
IPad mini please, nonslip grip so I stop dropping my iPad mini when I hold it with one hand and type
Iphone 5 wallet looks nice, colors are great !
I would love to win the iPhone 5 case. I just recently got the iPhone 5 about a week ago and have been searching all over online for a great case. I am going to be a college student soon, so a case that I can hold my student ID and building card key would be absolutely perfect. I also love the colors
The iPhone 5 case, please. The stand is probably the best feature, but the card slots run it close!
Element Case Soft-Tec wallet for iPhone 5. •Stand for adjustable viewing angle
•Easy access to buttons and jacks does it for me
I like the iPhone 5 wallet; the stand can be useful
The iPhone one looks really cool
The iPhone 5 one for sure,
mostly because I don't have an iPad Mini. But it's the ability to angle the thing so it sits upright is its selling feature for me. Sure
Actually, not my style for the phone and I don't have an iPad Mini. I want one for the full size iPad!
iPhone 5. I like the earpiece hole in the front flap so calls can be made with the case closed.
iPhone 5 adjustable for viewing!!!
iPhone 5. I like the earpiece hole in the front flap so calls can be made with the case closed.
I'd like one for the iPhone 5. I've always used mine naked and I think it's time for some protection.
I'd love one of these for my iP5! I've got the book book now, but these look a h(e double hockey sticks)uva lot sleeker! Best of luck to all!
ipad mini for my wife's birthday!
iPhone 5 please
iPhone 5.
There have been many times I have found myself interested in a case with a lanyard. This case has a lot of cool features, but the removable lanyard sounds intriguing.
Thank You iMore!
Oh I would want an iPhone 5 case!
Element Case Soft-Tec wallet for iPhone 5
'cause I don't have a mini,
Have the iPad mini and have a 2 piece case (Apple plus plastic back).. really hate it. I have been looking for something new, and this is IT!
I'd like the case for the iPhone 5. Like the credit card slots and the ability to position it at an angle in the case.
Dat is hella slick yo. Eye to the Pee to the Five please. Danks.
iPhone 5 version, I like the style/look of the case and the ability to use it as a stand.
it's brilliant. i want one for my iphone 5...
I would like the iPad mini case. I like the look and that is grippy.
These are awesome! They'd look great on my iPhone 5 or iPad mini! Send one my way
Iphone 5 please!!!
I am a big fan of Element Case products having purchased both Vapor Comp and Vapor Pro cases for my iPhone 4. I would be stoked about winning the iPad Mini case, fingers crossed...
Well, I have to say, I would put the Mini case to better use. Good lines, classy. Element, really, accept no substitute. I own a black ops 5, I rarely take it off.
Please send me an element iPad Mini sof tec. I'll be sleeping outside until I receive it. Cause without that case, that's how my Mini would feel.
iPhone 5 please.
I love the internal card slots along with the magnetic closure. Sometimes a simple flap & gravity are not enough. I want to keep my cards & phone safe.
I-phone 5 case. I like the no slip material and the camera cut outs.
Love the black rubber tone satin finish that give the high tech look and feel for the ipad mini.
@davidongts
Would like an iPhone 5 case. Been wanting to try out a wallet / case for a while now.
Element Case Soft-Tec wallet for iPhone 5 please. Don't usually like wallet cases but this looks rather snazzy.
I'd like the Element Case Soft-Tec wallet for iPhone 5 and the feature I like the most is the card slots because unlike most other iPhone cases with card slots, this allows you to fold it shut so your cards aren't exposed at all times.
I love the iPhone 5 version! The cutout for the ear piece on the front is ingenious and the overall fit and feel looks really unique and cool. Thanks for the opportunity iMore!
I would love the case for the iphone 5, I have been looking for a good wallet case to merge my existing wallet with. I like the looks and the fact most of the ports and camera is accessible, element also makes great products. I would like very much yes please
I'm wanting the iPad Mini case.
I like the variable viewing angles. The Apple Smart Cover sits the mini too high without support. It is too easy to push the mini over touching the screen!
I like the Soft-Tec Wallet for Apple iPad Mini because of the contrasting colors.
I'd like the iPhone 5 case. I've been looking for a wallet (my favourite feature) case for a long time since the iPhone 5 release and there isn't anything out there that looks as good as this.
Actually, all the element cases are awesome. Tough to choose as the iPad Mini case is really nice too.
The Soft-Tec Wallet for iPad mini. Hands down unlike anything I've seen out at the moment. My iPad mini travels with me in my hand, not tucked away in my bag, during my busy commute into Manhattan. The Tech-Grip material not only compliments my esthetic, but will ensure the tight grip I need to keep my mini safe out on the busy streets. I gotta have it!
The 2 features I like about the case are that it has a spot to place your ID or credit cards and also a stand. Would love to get one for my iPhone 5
I want the iPhone 5 case. I like the fact that the is made of a very grippy material so as to avoid hand slippage
iPhone 5 here please
The Element Case Soft-Tec wallet for iPhone 5 please. I like the fact I can hold credit cards in it & that it protects the screen when folded up!
the ipad mini
For iPad mini.. Sure M not getting it.. Ahh will buy it for sure! :)
Iphone5... Pls
Soft-Tec Wallet for iPhone. Love the exterior finish or the "Outer Tech Grip" as they call it. Looks nice and classy. Card slots too are good.
iPad mini case please, looke great!
I would like the one for the iPad mini. The thing I like the best is: "on-slip synthetic coating to ensure a firm grip".
I don't have an iPad so I would have to go with the iPhone 5 case. I got my iPhone 5 on launch and have been using a cheap gel case since. Definitely need an upgrade.
Iphone 5 soft tec wallet, people are blinded by only one good feature of this case are you kidding me everything about this wallet case is just awesome.
For an iphone 5 please
Would really love the iphone 5 case
These are the best looking iphone and ipad cases I've seen.
I'm really impressed with The outer Tech Grip™
I've been wondering when somebody would produce a case
with this type of material. The fact you can open both cases and
use with removing the iphone or ipad from the case is great.
The addition of two credit/ id card slots on the iphone case makes it
both practical and functional. The lanyard is a nice touch as is the
magnetic closure and camera opening. Well done !
It's so hard to pick only one feature! I'd love to have the iphone 5 case, because it's very protective, practical and beautiful!
Please sign me up for the iPhone 5 version. I like the utility(card/money slots) and versatility.
Soft-Tec Wallet for Apple iPad Mini.
Firm grip, durability and ease of handling are the best features for me.
I love the card shots for the Iphone 5 soft-tec wallet by Element! I want that one!
iPhone 5 please I like the suede inside and love the fact I can add my credit cards into the pouches so I wont need to carry my credit card separately! Hope I win! :-D
I would love to have the iPhone 5 case. I think it is such a sleek design and I love the element line. I was just going to buy this case today, so here's hoping for the best :)
I'd like one for the iPhone 5! I really like the carbon fiber styled business exterior with the bright screaming interior! Beautiful!
Would love one for my iPhone 5. I think the wallet case is super stylish! Love the color contrast and the texturized rubber satin exterior. Will definitely be picking one up regardless.
Thanks iMore!
I love the color combination on the case especially the iPad mini one. iPad mini case please :)
The IPhone 5 one please, the ease of being able to plug it in without needing to take out of the case!
iPhone 5. I like the Stand for adjustable viewing angle.
I would want to get the iPhone 5 case now that I have one. I had a case for my iPhone 4 that I could carry a couple cards in when that was all I needed and it was very convenient.
I'd love to have the iPad Mini case since that's the device I have.
I'd like the Element Case Soft-Tec for iPhone 5. I've recently been looking for a nice wallet case for my iPhone 5 and this looks like it fits the bill! :)
I would love the iPad mini, for my wife. Nice fit and material.
I'd like the iPad mini case please. I like the adjustable viewing angle stand.
The ipad mini one for me, please.
I like the outside texture.
I like the iPhone5 case because it has credit card slots, and the case protects the screen nicely.
This would be awesome for an iPad mini! Nice looking case
iPhone 5, i love the stand feature for great viewing angles
Yea thanks! Need to protect that iPhone 5
@iPhone4Jay
iPhone 5 case. Don't have a mini....yet
iPhone 5 case. I like the strap and the card holder.
Soft-Tec Wallet for Apple iPhone 5, the ID/Currency/Card Slots are very useful, thanks for another great contest
seeing how I do not own an iPad mini, i'll take the iPhone 5 case.
Thanks
I would love one of these. I've wanted a wallet case for a while but didn't like the bulk of the ones I'd found. I like the fact that this is slim as well as having card slots and functioning as a stand.
Me me me!! iPhone 5!
iPhone 5 case please, I like that it doesn't add bulk to the iPhone
I would LOVE the wallet for my iPhone 5. I would use it to replace my wallet and my twelve south SurfacePad....
I would like the iPad mini. Love the Durable Tech-Grip covering feature.
Thx
I'd love one for my iPhone 5. I always have my phone and wallet with me so why not combine the two.
Love the grip feature on the cover for the iPad mini. Hope I win one!
I have loved the look of this case since it came out. The price tag is a little high to justify switching from my otterbox just yet. However, my favorite feature would have to be the fact that I could take a big leather square out of my back pocket now and then! It would be so nice to have the kick stand form as well. I bought a case when I got my iPhone 5 that had a kickstand and it just wasn't quality.
I would very much like to win an Element Case Soft-Tec for iPhone 5!
I would love to get one for my iPad mini. I love the color and the fact that is sleep/wakeup compatible
I like the adjustable angle. iPad mini for me.
iPad Mini case. i love the element cases and imore
Because my girlfriend took my money, and is hard as nails. I cant afford something soft and new for Le' iPhone. Simple as that really...
I'm hoping for the iPad mini case! I love the Durable Tech-Grip covering, so badass!
iPhone 5. Super sharp look.
I checked out the iPhone5 case and I LOVE it. Very unique case in a sea of cases. Also I'm addicted to cases, I want that case.... (crosses fingers)
the iphone 5 case is mine!
I would love Element Case Soft-Tec wallet for iPhone 5 big fan of the Element case and this will be perfect for my phone just hope i get it :D LOL! but what are the odds.
Had an Element bumper case for my iPhone 4S. Loved it. Now it's time for an Element Sof-Tec case for my iPhone 5.
iPhone 5 case!
@tordify
I like the iPad mini one.. it will protect the iPad when its in back pocket...
iPhone 5 case for me!! Love the design, the look and the stand! Fingers crossed on this one.
I Like the Ipad. Mini, I Like the Color "Red" and The Feature I Like in this is The Non-Slip Synthetic Coat! Its Techie and Helpful to People! Great Job!
I like the iPhone 5 case that has the built in easel stand. Sweeeet !
I have to say I am liking the Element case. The selling point for me is the adjustable stand. There are many times that I wish I had a stand for my phone, especially when my 5-year-old son uses it to watch Netflix or Disney. Hope I win one!!! My son will be happy!!!

iPhone 5 please.. Thank you..
I would like a Soft-Tec for iPad mini, The best thing about the case for me is the non-slip synthetic coating, the high impact polycarbonate shell and the look and feel.
Very stylish case. I'd love to have one to show off to my co-workers.
iPhone 5 please!!!!! Kickstand is needed.
iPad mini...nice styling and the fold that gives it extra protection!
I'd like the iPhone 5 one! I love how it holds your credit card and ID! No more wallet! That's awesome!
Element Case Soft-Tec wallet for iPhone 5 - the orange texture will look sick on my white iPhone 5!
Ipad mini case please. It looks cool.
(I may buy the iPhone 5 version for myself anyway)
Who wouldn't want one of these awesome cases for the iPad Mini? I know I sure would
the non-slip feature is a key differentiator, since in my experience most every case is unstable in viewing mode. This case might have solved this issue.
I would like the Soft-Tec Wallet for Apple iPhone 5, because the Removable Lanyard will help me to avoid dropping it lol! I feel so scared when it happen
I like the 'Durable Tech-Grip covering' on the iPhone Element case. It presents the case with a sophisticated look, some might say eloquent. Combine that with a soft touch inlay and kickstand. What is there not to like about this multi purpose case. It oozes quality and functionality.
The iPhone 5 case looks amazing. Great promotion.
iPhone 5 please. Thank you
iphone 5 case!
iPad Mini Please. Always like cases with a non-slip ability to protect the crafted aluminum of apple products.
iPad mini, please and thank you! :)
I love the fact you can talk with the case still on and use the camera as well. I've seen other cases/wallets and you almost had to take the phone out the case to use either feature. I would love the iPhone case!
Thanks!
Synthetic suede to protect the screen plus black rubber tone finish is quite simple but elegant. Soft Tec wallet for iPad mini for me.
The iphone 5 please - I can ditch my wallet and just keep my phone and ID/Debit Card with me and keep it smooth and simple.
iPhone 5 please, I would love to show it off at work to give you guys more readers and element case more customers.
I'd love an iPad Mini one. The outside texture looks so slick.
i would like one, thanks ( iphone 5 )
I love the look and finish of the Element Folio case for the iPad Mini-which I carry EVERYWHERE-and this Element Soft-Tec case will stand up to the travel and punishment
that these trips dish out. A firm grip, great texture, and great protection seems to be it's hallmarks. Oh, and it's easy on the eyes as well-real professional looking.
The iPad mini case, with the built in kick-stand. #Winning
meeeee, its so cool
Omg dude i checked out Element's video reviews and comments this case is sickkk like i need those two id spaces in my case like theres no case out there that looks good enough as elements and has all the cool looks :( and its super expensive omg i really i could win this one mann its super awesome looking!!!!!
I like the slim design of the iPad Mini case..keep the Mini...well, mini! :D
The iPad mini please! I like the adjustable viewing angle.
iPhone 5 please. Finally an iPhone 5 case that I can fit in my shirt/sport coat jacket that is not bulky. Looks like a great product!!
I like the Element Case Soft-Tec wallet for iPad mini. My current smart cover doesn't work well as a stand and this would solve that and protect both front and back. Nice.
I would like the Element Case Soft-Tec wallet for iPhone 5 - it has credit card slots and lanyard make it more usefull than just a phone case!! and more durable as it looks like!! i want it!
I like the Durable Tech-Grip covering for the iPad mini. Reason being: I'm prone to dropping my stuff. I suppose this will make me less likely to drop my mini! :)
what I like about the Soft-Tec Wallet for iphone5 is the slim and lightweight design and its easy access to button and jacks....
iPhone 5. And definitely due to the sleek looks!
iPhone 5 please!!
I would love the iphone5 case. I love the idea of the strap, when working out, extra security to hang onto phone would be great. Even great walking down a busy street.
I like the iPhone case. Too many great features... perhaps its form factor, that it folds open which seems to keep it less bulky.
I love the case for the iPhone 5, because with that I don't need to have a wallet with me
Iphone 5 case please it's AWESOME
thank For you work IMORE
Wow! I could go for a Soft-Tec case for sure. What I like the most is the stylish design. I need one for my iPhone 5.
The mini case is for me.
iPhone 5 case, cos it just looks good
iPad mini here please. I really like the minimalist design.
Such a kick ass looking case, FINALLY! It looks like it would meet all my iPhone 5's needs and more. About time there's a sleek functional case put there that you can access all the ports without debris in the way. I hope I am the lucky one and if not then I hope whoever does win, thoroughly enjoys it; best of luck to all
I like the way they look! a new ipad mini is coming my way soon... I may have to get one!
