Alternative Smartphone Case & Credit Card/ID Leather Wallet*
The Alternative Smartphone Case & Credit Card/ID Leather Wallet is for the person who would rather carry one thing than three. The phone sits inside, the front pocket takes an ID and credit cards, and the whole piece measures 5.5" high by 3.2" long and just half an inch thick, so it goes in a jacket pocket and stays there through a commute, a flight or a long day of meetings.
Alternative moves through the world in a different way, creating products people want to use every day. That shows up here as quality materials, durable construction and design clarity: genuine leather, clean lines, and branding details kept deliberately quiet, with subtle embroidery and genuine leather accents instead of a logo shouting across the front. It is the kind of accessory that looks better after a year of use than it did in the box.
The case is made to fit iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5S, 5C and 6 as well as Android smartphones from Samsung, Motorola, HTC, Nokia and others, so it suits a household where not everyone carries the same handset.
Personalized in-house by HansonEllis, the wallet carries up to two lines of 18 characters. A full name, a set of initials, a company name, a date, or a short line meant only for the person who opens it. That personalization is what separates a nice leather accessory from the one he actually keeps, because it is unmistakably his the moment it is set down on a conference table with five others.
It makes a considered gift for a graduate walking into a first job, a groomsman who already owns everything, a father who has carried the same battered wallet for a decade, or a client you want to thank with something that stays in daily use rather than in a drawer. The Alternative Smartphone Case & Credit Card/ID Leather Wallet is used every single day, which is more than most gifts can claim.
Add your personalization above, choose your quantity, and give something that gets picked up every morning.

Which one should I choose
Most people are choosing between carrying one combined piece, a case and a wallet separately, or a full billfold.
| Alternative Smartphone Case & Credit Card/ID Leather Wallet | Choose it when the phone, an ID and a couple of cards should travel together in one half-inch piece of genuine leather. |
|---|---|
| A phone case plus a separate wallet | Choose it when the card stack is deep and the phone changes often, and you do not mind carrying two things. |
| A traditional folding leather wallet | Choose it when cash, receipts and a dozen cards all have to fit, and the phone goes in another pocket. |
For someone who wants to leave the house with one item in hand, the personalized Alternative wallet is the better pick, because the ID and the cards are already where the phone is.
