I carry my cell phone with me everywhere. I use my weather app, Google maps, text messaging, Instagram, Facebook, and more while out and about with my kids. Although I usually carry my purse or a larger tote with me, sometimes I do not want to lug around a huge bag. I have a cell phone case that protects my phone and allows me to easily store a few cards. However, when I am wearing an outfit without pockets, I run into the problem of having to carry my phone in my hands. Thus, when recently offered the chance to review a smartphone wristlet case from SHANSHUI in exchange for my honest opinion, I eagerly accepted the opportunity.
Price and Design
The SHANSHUI smartphone wristlet case currently costs $14.99 on Amazon. Other similar cases cost roughly the same price. The wallet case consists of polyurethane (PU) leather. The exterior features a zippered pocket for small items including change. The interior features a pocket that holds a smartphone, four card pockets, and a cash pocket. The wallet closes with a metal snap. A removable wrist strap allows you to carry the wallet around easily. The medium fits phones with 5.2 inch screens or smaller while the large fits 5.5 to 6 inch screens. The wallet comes in black, brown, pink, green, and purple.
Performance
I received the medium purple smartphone wristlet case from SHANSHUI, which fits my iPhone 5. Because I am an absolute klutz, I keep my phone inside a heavy duty OtterBox. I dropped and dinged my new phone a few hours after I upgraded from my old phone, so I was a bit worried about having to remove the OtterBox to use my new smartphone wristlet case. However, I excitedly discovered that my phone and OtterBox fit inside the phone pocket in the wallet! Now I can more easily carry around my phone without my purse without having to remove the protective case. Heading to the museum or zoo with my kiddos without lugging around a purse or larger bag has never been easier!
In addition to fitting my encased cell phone, I also love that the SHANSHUI smartphone wristlet case offers me four card pockets. I currently keep three cards in my OtterBox. However, I often found myself switching out the cards depending on where I was going with my kids. Now I can store my museum pass, homeschool ID cards, and more in the wallet, which I can easily grab while out and about, instead of having to switch cards around all the time. I can also keep a little cash and some change in the wallet in case of an emergency. Finally, the removable wrist strap allows me to carry my phone around with ease. I can wrap the strap around my wrist and chase after my two active children even when my clothes do not have pockets. I am therefore very pleased with my new medium purple smartphone wristlet case from SHANSHUI!
Final Verdict
If you are shopping for a small cell phone case that doubles as an easy-to-carry wallet, definitely check out the smartphone wristlet case from SHANSHUI. Made from polyurethane (PU) leather, the exterior features a zippered pocket while the interior features a pocket that holds a smartphone, four card pockets, and a cash pocket. The wallet closes with a metal snap and includes a removable wrist strap. I excitedly discovered that my phone inside my OtterBox fit inside the phone pocket in the wallet, so this klutzy mama does not have to worry about damaging her phone while using the case. I also like that I can keep some cards in the pockets of the wallet along with a little cash. Now I can leave my purse at home when out and about with my kids and simply carry my phone around in my new SHANSHUI smartphone wristlet case!
