Fine for the price point. Not for those who need rugged iPhone protection.
I’m not complaining too much for a $22 product. The video shows me holding it in my fairly petite/female hands. For a guy’s hands, it would probably feel very ergonomic. I feel that it’s slightly clunky. The plus side of that is it does hold up to four credit cards, so a few more than some of the competing cases that are very compact.The sliding mechanism on the wallet opening feels flimsy for my taste, which is what I tried to capture in the video. It doesn’t feel like it will fall open, but if open, the sliding mechanism could easily break with a careless hand or an accidental drop. Could possibly also crack if it fell flat on the back of the case on concrete or other hard surface. It really is cheap plastic.Shock absorbing bumpers around the edge of the case seem like they’ll do the job. Definitely do get a tempered glass screen protector for those face down drops. This case will not do much for screen protection/does not have a built in screen protector.It’s also apparent from the packaging that it’s Chinese made, for those who are wondering.It does fit the latest (2020) iPhone SE, as seen in this video.

Harder Edges than Expected, Challenging to Open
Typically I’m a fan of practicality over gimmicky features but I thought I’d try a card holder case so that I would never have to take my work and apartment RFID cards out of my wallet or keep track of them as they’ll always be on my person.The phone case is very angular with a lot of textured edges for grip. The formed rubber that surrounds the phone is a bit harder then I hoped but I think it will maintain impact resistance. I haven’t experienced a drop yet. The phone itself feels very thick and bulky with the case on.Something I do notice is there is a feeling of hollowness due to the compartment in the back where the cards are. It gives the impression of cheapness because you can feel slight movements of the door mechanism and it doesn’t feel durable.Additionally, the ring/silent button on the top left of the phone is pretty hard to get your fingers in - if you switch that on and off often this could be annoying.I also notice when using the speaker on my phone, the case causes a vibration of the sound through the phone screen I can feel on my fingers.The door mechanism is pretty impressive. The spring is very strong and the snap of the door open and closed is very clean and satisfying. However, because of the strength of the spring the door can be challenging to open. It opens from right to left with the phone screen facing the user. One user experience feature I’ve noticed would have been helpful is perhaps a dimple, texture or some sort of feature on the door. It’s a smooth flat door and there is not really a great way to open it with two hands (one handed forget it). Some sort of handle-like feature or texture to be able to get some grip on the door would elevate the user experience dramatically.I only have two cards in the compartment now so there is a bit of room still, therefore the cards have room to wiggle and slide and knock around in the compartment. I’m hoping with more cards it will tighten up and not feel as loose.I have not yet tried wireless charging but I plan to attempt with the cards inside. I will update after testing. I will also be placing an adhesive plate somewhere that won’t interfere with the RFID but will allow me to have a magnetic backing-if you have a magnetic car holder, this case will not work on it by itself.Overall I like the design, it’s sharp and the sporty yellow on the inside is a nice touch. The angles are neat and the door mechanism is strong but the door connections just feel like they could be done a bit better. I think for an overall completely sealed card holder this is about as good as it gets on Amazon.

Had mine for 2 years
I bought this when I got my iPhone SE (2020.) Otterbox used to make their own version of a wallet case, but they discontinued it, and I did not like what they had to offer, so I looked for alternatives.I got this one because it has a larger card capacity than most of its competitors, and I like being able to carry my ID, credit card, debit card, and whatever other card I may need (a subway card, or some kind of rewards card).I've had this case for two years, dropped it several times, and it held up pretty good! As long as you have a good screen protector, your phone will be protected.I'm sorry to say that after two years, I finally dropped it to the point where the backing for the cards snapped off, and I accidentally removed the springs trying to put it back on. The sliding mechanism of the backing is basically donezo, so now I need a new wallet case.The only part of this case that isn't as sturdy is the cheap plastic backing where the cards are held; but like I said, mine lasted for 2 years despite me being clumsy, or all the times it slid out of my pocket.The plastic surrounding the phone itself is pretty shock-proof.I'm currently looking to see what else is out there, but I keep coming back to this one because I know it's shock-proof, and it can store 4 cards. I recommend it for anyone who is clumsy, and also likes storing 4 cards. For the price, it's worth it.

Very poor quality
Nice until you drop it and it falls over the card tray. I’m on my second one and unfortunately it only last me 2 weeks. Poor quality

fabulous find
I've tried several credit card / phone cases and this one is the best. Snaps shut and opens easily and securely. Not too heavy but really sturdy. I can put my DL, insurance card, 2 credit/debit cards and a folded $20 bill in with no trouble. This one is a winner!
