Bellroy Leather Elements Phone Pocket Plus Wallet - Cognac

I previously bought a Bellroy Leather Travel Wallet and was extremely impressed with the quality, both out of the package and after extended usage (excluding the fact that I really dislike how it didn't have a coin compartment), so I was extremely excited to purchase another Bellroy wallet.While this particular one felt more plasticky than my old wallet, I attribute that to it being weather-proof, so it isn't a major issue. There were slight quality lapses on the zip, zipper, and outer layer (specifically, it looks like a sticker wasn't removed properly on the outer layer), but it's working fine, and that's what matters most. However, I would most definitely have appreciated it more if it was softer.The wallet was also larger than I expected, so do look out for that. It has zero issues holding phablets, passports, and even the small travel pen provided with the Bellroy Leather Travel Wallet, as long as you don't cram too much stuff inside it beforehand.Since there is a slot that seems to be made for the small travel pen provided with the Bellroy Leather Travel Wallet, I would definitely have loved to have one included.Additionally, I haven't tested the "weather-proof" aspect of the wallet intentionally because it looks like my zipper can't close completely, but it's not like I bought it just to pour water on my wallet. Hopefully, if my wallet ever gets wet, it will prove to be truly weather-proof.

I first saw the Bellroy line of products a month ago when I was in Japan. I was shopping around in Shibuya and saw their products at Loft (a store that sells everyday commodities <-- I ripped that description off from wiki lol).The apparent quality and "technicalness" of their products immediately captured my attention. So upon further research, I found out that I could get it on Amazon for cheaper than I could get it for in Japan.When I returned home, I immediately went online and bought it. And I am glad that I did. I been looking for a new wallet for years and I finally found one that I like!Pros:- Technical! Lot's of pockets, but laid out so the wallet doesn't bulk up.- Ability to house my iPhone 6s Plus- Nice aesthetic- Elements version comes with a sealed zipper and treated leather to "weatherproof" the wallet. Don't plan on testing it, but it's nice to have!- Awesome packaging! (A company that pays attention to detail in packaging, is one that pays attention to details!)Cons:- US currency sometimes gets snagged by the zipper- Zipper is a bit stiff, but the wallet is only a few weeks old, so hopefully it will loosen up.09Dec2015 UPDATE:The coating on the all-weather leather has started to peel at some spots :(Zipper does seem to be loosening up nicely :)

This phone wallet design is much better than the current design that they currently are using as of this review. This is the older design of the wallet with multiple slots for cards and not just one large pocket for them. This style is currently only on Amazon and not on the Bellroy site. I have currently been using the wallet for 3 weeks and I love this wallet. I am using a Galaxy S7 Edge phone and it fits with plenty of room. I would HIGHLY recommend this wallet if you are looking for an all in one solution for carrying your wallet and phone in one place.

I bought 2 of them and the zippers became disabled.

Good quality but way too bike to be practical. Maybe on a smaller phone but not on the iPhone 6+

I have a protective case around my iPhone 6s Plus, and the phone fits inside this Phone Pocket Plus with a little room to spare. It's easy to carry and looks good. Also it has slots inside to carry money and credit cards. I love it!

PROS: Nice product. High quality. Useful. Well designed.CONS: Over-priced. Should include the pen they include with their other large wallets - they include the slot that only this pen will fit in, but fail to include the pen - crazy at this price, especially since it's hard to find a pend that size anywhere else, making this slot useless.

I'm a cyclist, and I was roped in by the online ad showing a Ziploc bag vs. the Bellroy. The price made me choke a little, but how convenient to not have to take cards, cash, etc. out of my wallet and prepare a Ziploc before every ride. Add the aesthetics, and I fully expect my riding buddies to be very jealous ;-) I needed the Plus because my HTC has a 5" screen, and this more than accommodates that. I initially saw it as a convenience for cycling, but of course it's a full-time replacement for my old wallet, and so much more functional. You'll probably carry it in hand when you're walking, but I rarely put my old wallet in my pants pocket anyway. So where before I was carrying a wallet and a phone in hand, now I have this. It fits completely into the pocket of some cycling jerseys, but protrudes a little in others. It's only been on one long, sweaty ride (several short ones) and the leather shows a bit of waviness from the moisture. But it still looks good, feels good, and does the job it was designed for very well.
