AND TONS OF POCKETS:

Eight card pockets, an interior zippered coin pocket, and a bill pocket keep your credit cards and money handy.
Front flap pocket for something you need frequently such as an ID card, or a bus pass. (quick access pocket)
A phone slip pocket that will fit any phone size.
An extra zippered pocket on the outer back for coupons, or coins.
Main compartment for additional items a wallet alone cannot hold, like a lipstick, a USB or a pack of keys.

Options, options! Even the strap connectors can be installed in two different ways! This wallet has a removable strap so you can use it as a wallet in a larger purse if you need to carry more than just your phone, cards, and cash. Use it as a purse insert for my Sophia crossbody the large size, or as a minimalistic on-the-go crossbody bag. A perfect match for a summer night out!

So many beautiful versions were made by testers - see them all here:
