[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] MikeyNick:
I don't want to flood the accessories forum with multiple review posts, so here's my quick review of the iPulse leather wallet case (full disclosure, I received a free case for reviewing purposes).

Initial impressions

I was quite impressed with the packaging and the quality of the leather for a $30 case. It came in a nice little pouch with some business cards. The stitching looks quite nice, and the leather has a nice feel and look to it (I ordered the Cognac color).

Size and functionality

I ended up filling the wallet section with: ID and two credit cards in the card slots, and a few 20 dollar bills and my work's ID badge (about the size of a thick credit card) into the bill fold area. With this setup, it was not terribly thick, and freed up space in my other pocket, where I usually keep my wallet.

And here is my first and main issue with this case (gotta play devil's advocate and look for potential problems too!) - For what is already such a tall phone, I don't think I would have noticed if they'd made the leather section just 1 or 2 mm longer to accommodate bills better. US currency is about exactly as wide as the bill fold area. As such, you can't slide any bills in if they're unfolded. To fit bank notes in there, I had to fold them in half, which then increases the thickness. I personally think they should have just made it tall enough to comfortable fit bills, but it's not a deal breaker and I don't always carry cash anyway.

Build quality

The case feels high quality. The tpu bumper within the leather is very basic, but it doesn't need to be more than that. I think the leather will take the brunt of the force in a drop anyway, but it's nice to know that the TPU is there just to absorb any extra shock. I would definitely not have any concerns about dropping my phone with this case on, and it's also very grippy and easy to hold.

If I had to point something out, I'd say that I'd potentially be concerned about the longevity of the adhesive between the TPU case and the leather. With enough flipping around and using it as a kick stand, I can imagine where that adhesive may eventually start to pry up, but this is just speculation on a possibility. I did not notice any separation at all while using it

Final thoughts

For me particularly, I think this case will fill a special niche. My lifestyle doesn't quite fit the case well: I ride a motorcycle, and I have a mount on my handlebars to hold my phone for GPS and music. With this case, if I fold the front flap around the back, then it ends up being too thick for the mount to get a good grip on. If I keep the front flap closed, then the mount grips it just fine, but obviously I can't use it for GPS then. Furthermore, I can't change volume or hit the bixby button unless I undo the flap.

So, for me personally, I don't think the case will be my daily case, but that is entirely due to my lifestyle and not the quality of the case. Instead, I think this case will be perfect for "dress up" occasions. It is absolutely beautiful, and I think in a situation where I'm dressed up in a nice suit, I'll definitely move my wallet and phone over to this case to have a nice solution for carrying my money and phone in a very beautiful case. I could also see myself using this case when I travel, as I'm very unlikely to leave my phone anywhere, and having my wallet attached to it could give some peace of mind and just generally make toting them around easier.

Anyway, those are my thoughts on the case! Hope it was useful!
