I researched over 70+ cases from 15+ brands, checked reviews, and watched videos to find the best options. After all that, these are the 5 leather wallet cases I would actually spend my own money on.
I did the main research myself, and my co-editor, Juairia Moon, helped double-check the details so the information is reliable.
Mujjo Full Leather Wallet Case for 17 Pro Max
This specific case to me is an an overall all-rounder. Here’s why:
As 9to5Toys put it:
“I tend to think of leather cases in one of two camps: those that are super thin and closer to synthetic material, and those that are thicker and feel like real leather. MUJJO seems to sit right in the middle.”
So, it’s a kind of middle-grounded product, and considering the price, it seems like a good deal.
One reviewer from Amazon noted:
“This is a really well-made wallet case that feels as good as it looks. You can tell the leather is high quality right out of the box.”
It has a 1mm raised lip for protection, and its buttons are solid and tactile, as stated by many real users on Amazon and Reddit.
It’s fully MagSafe compatible with a strong magnet. With one card inserted, MagSafe charging works perfectly. Two cards slightly weaken the magnet, and with three, wireless charging stops working—this is worth noting.
Available in tan and black, I personally prefer the tan. The case fits tightly at first but loosens up quickly—not a deal-breaker.
Nomad Modern Leather Wallet Case for 17 Pro Max
This is a durable luxury case.
This case uses Horween Style vegetable-tanned leather, which basically means that the more you use this case, the better it’s going to look.
Because of its material, it gives off a luxury leather vibe when used. Nomad claims it has an amazing 8-foot drop protection, which is great.
One review on Amazon states that:
“This is a premium product. While it feels soft and smooth in hand, it looks very durable and robust without adding extra volume or bulk. Switched from the tech woven immediately.”
VENOULT Full-Grain Leather Wallet Case for 17 Pro Max
Our findings on its features show that this case has real leather, which makes it so much better than those other synthetic leather cases.
This case is for people who are looking for a classic case.
Just as the title says, this case has full-grain leather along with a thin PU veneer. This type of leather helps this case become more beautiful and classical-looking as it ages.
In the first few days of using this case, you will see small scratches here and there. But those scratches will blend in a way that perfectly gives this case a character of its own.
This case can hold more than three cards along with cash, which is not common with leather cases. This case also has the MagSafe feature that helps to maintain a solid connection with Apple-certified MagSafe stands, which makes this case extremely reliable.
One user on Reddit commented saying:
“This phone case/wallet is beautiful, and the leather is incredible. I highly recommend this phone case.” There might be some drawbacks when it comes to the thickness of this case. Since it can hold up to three cards, it can feel bulky while loaded. But I would rather choose a bulky leather case than a cheap synthetic leather case any day.
SHIELDON Detachable Wallet Case for 17 Pro Max
What I liked about this case is its detachable wallet feature. This case has synthetic leather, but it doesn’t feel cheap anyway.
If you look onto the official SHIELDON website, you will see that this detachable feature is set up by a magnetic system that lets the front cover always stay securely attached to the iPhone 17 Pro Max. It also has a lifetime replacement warranty for non-artificial product issues. With three card slots and additional cash storage, this case also has raised edges for better protection.
A user on Amazon commented that:
“It’s a great case! Only docked it a star because it doesn’t charge in my Tesla charging pad; otherwise, it would have been 5 stars.”
Which can be a downfall point for this case, but honestly with this price-friendly budget, some ups and downs can be expected.
Another user commented that:
“This wallet is truly unique, made with true cowhide leather. It feels great and looks great, seems to be getting softer over time.”
OCASE Detachable Wallet Case for 17 Pro Max
This case is another example of a great wallet case. I love the fact that it gives us the freedom to choose when we want a bulky wallet case and when we want a slim iPhone.
Let’s talk about its features and build. It has some special features like a card slot with a protective case, RFID Blocking, a kickstand, a shock absorber, and so on.
This case also has a zippered main compartment with a clear window view for your ID cards and permits, so that you won’t have to remove all of the cards every time you want to take one card out.
On Amazon, a user named @JCMacy commented that:
“I love this case with lots of storage. I always carry $40 cash (2x$20) in this with 5 cards and a driver’s license. Unlike many others, I like the zipper opening is on the bottom, which is top when carrying it (upside down) with the strap so the contents stay in it in case the zipper is partially open. Leather is good quality.”
