The iPhone X might be a couple of years old now, but it's still a fantastic smartphone that's worth keeping protected with one of the best iPhone cases.
If you're considering your options for one of the top iPhone cases for your iPhone X, then we recommend taking a look at the best wallet cases. Wallet cases are a good option for anyone who wants the protection of a good phone case combined with the convenience of a wallet – that way you don't have to carry both your phone and a wallet with you. Although you obviously need to be extra careful when you put all your eggs in one basket, or case, so to speak.
You also need to consider whether you use wireless charging – or plan to. Bank and credit cards work with different forms of magnetic transfer, which can be ruined when they're exposed to the magnets found inside wireless chargers.
If you've considered the pros and cons and still want a wallet and phone case hybrid, then we've rounded up the best iPhone X wallet cases to help you cut down on space and up the convenience levels.

Which iPhone X wallet case is the best?
There are lots of options when it comes to the best wallet cases for the iPhone X, but we personally fell in love with the Twelve South SurfacePad (opens in new tab). Not only is it a super stylish and versatile case, but it also has a wallet sleeve and three additional card slots on the front for easy access to your ID, debit card, student ID, or whatever else you're toting around.
If you're on the hunt for a case that's incredibly durable while still affordable, the Spigen Slim Armor CS (opens in new tab) is also worth considering. The thin yet rugged frame keeps your iPhone X protected, while the additional storage lets you stash your cards and cash.
Should you use an iPhone wallet case?
Whether you use an iPhone wallet case or not is all down to personal preference. Some people love the convenience of having all of their bank cards with them in their iPhone case, others don't use their bank cards anymore as they rely on their digital Apple Wallet and some people don't like to risk having all of their important things in one place.
The choice is yours and it's worth considering the benefits and risk factors before you buy one of the best wallet cases for your iPhone. Of course you can always buy a wallet case and just use it now and again instead of relying on it everyday.
