Wireless charging with a wallet case
If you use (or plan to use) wireless charging with your wallet case, you may want to think long and hard about what type of case you want. Bank cards, credit cards, and other plastic cards work with different forms of magnetic transfer which can be ruined when exposed to the magnets in a wireless charger. Our very own Russell Holly put it quite simply:
"When you put these cards in between your iPhone and your case, using the case as a sort of one or two-card wallet, you are exposing these cards to far greater electromagnetic induction energy than they are built to handle as soon as you put your phone on a wireless charger. Your cards will quickly become useless when you put them in between your iPhone and a Wireless charger, and you won't know they are useless until you try to use them."
As a basic rule of thumb, if you have cards stored on the front of your phone — like in a folio case — you should be in the clear; however, for the cases that store cards on the back, make sure you take your cards out before using a wireless charger.

Twelve South Journal
Our Pick
Twelve South has been making quality leather cases and products for years, and its Journal for the iPhone X is a perfect blend of style and functionality. The Twelve South Journal for iPhone X will run you about $70 on Amazon.
Available in either black or cognac colors, the iPhone X wallet sleeve features real premium leather that surrounds your iPhone entirely, with a front cover that has three card slots and a clear ID card slot — so your bank cards, credit cards, and driver's license can be with you anywhere.
Your iPhone X snaps into the case's hard plastic, inside shell, and that fancy dual-camera system on the back of the iPhone X remains protected with plenty of extra space to prevent the lens from touching any flat surface.
Nomad Leather Folio
Stay Wireless
With three card slots on the inside front cover, this leather iPhone wallet case gives you the opportunity to carry all your essential cards and your iPhone X in one place. Plus, it also sports a pouch for cash, meaning you can carry around a few bills for when you need paper money.
The Nomad Leather Folio case for iPhone X is made from luxurious Horween leather that's manufactured in the U.S. and will only cost you $50.
It only comes in one color, and that's rustic brown, but the case is wireless charging compatible, so you won't need to take your iPhone X out of the case to fill up its juice.
Pad & Quill Bella Fino
Premium Choice

Dreem iPhone X Wallet Case
Best 2-in-1
Want the flexibility of a basic shell case with the benefit of a wallet folio? Dreem offers a 2-in-1 case solution that acts as a folio wallet case for most activities, but can magnetically detach to use with an external mount or as a slimmer option.
The folio itself supports 3-6 cards (all shielded with RFID theft protection) and 5-10 bills in a side slot, and is covered in a variety of colored faux-leather looks.
You won't be able to wirelessly charge with this case on due to its magnetic backing, but you can do just about anything else — and if that versatility is important to you, the $35 Dreem case is worth its price.
Spigen Slim Armor CS
Super Slim
For protection, this case features a layer of shock-absorbent TPU, which is flexible and prevents scratches, as well as an outer layer of hard polycarbonate plastic, which protects against bumps and drops. Perfect for anyone who worries about damaging their beautiful (and expensive) iPhone X.
As for the wallet side of things, the Slim Armor CS also sports a compartment on the back of the case that can fit about three or four cards, or a couple of folded up bills, making it easier to leave that bulky wallet at home. Just because you want to carry around some of your bank cards, doesn't mean you have to lose the quality protection that cases can offer; the Spigen Slim Armor CS is a perfect balance between rugged and functional.
Apple's iPhone X Leather Folio
OEM Choice
Apple's iPhone X Leather Folio has two pockets on the inside front cover that can hold cash, cards, or even a few coins if you so choose. Plus, the plastic shell that your iPhone X clips into also helps protect the sides of your phone so you don't chip that stainless steel edge.
