Help - Purse for money *AND* iPhone!

31 replies

AppleOgies · 25/11/2012 11:20

Help need style and beauty experts...

I want a purse/wallet that as well as holding money and cards will hold my iPhone. I've googled without success. Does anyone have one they can recommend or has anyone seen a nice one. I don't want to spend much, under £80.

Tiffany have a very expensive one, but it only holds cards. I want cards, money and phone in one!
TIA

I've got this which can just about fit an iphone, coins and cards. It's BIG for a purse though, more like a small clutch bag.

Googling found me this one on ebay too.

I got one yesterday funnily enough. TKMaxx, £9.99.
So handy, I didn't know they existed til yesterday.

ThePortlyPinUp · 25/11/2012 16:53

Can you hear your phone ringing through one? They look great especially the studded urban outfitters one.

Glossynotflossy · 25/11/2012 17:09

I found this

AppleOgies · 25/11/2012 17:41

I think the eBay one posted by ornellaia is most what I'm after. But I'm concerned, don't know whether I should be, because it's £20 from South Korea... And after searching for the same type can get them even cheaper... Are they all copies of someone else's product do you think?

I use a radley wristlet, not this one, looks like mine is discontinued now.
Perfect size, coins, card, lippy, iPhone, maybe a pill doorkey (if off key ring).

ornellaia · 25/11/2012 22:33

I went for another look at that ebay one appleOgies and somehow I originally found the most expensive one listed Blush. I've just ordered the same one for £3.70 including P&P. I have no idea if it's a copy of a more expensive design but it looks quite cute and for a few quid I don't mind if it isn't that nice when it turns up.

AppleOgies · 25/11/2012 22:46

I'm still ummmming and ahhhhing... It's almost exactly what I wanted but my DH would buy it for me for Xmas and he said he isn't going to buy me something that costs a few pounds. Could you post on this thread when it arrives, let me know what you think.

In second place is a knomo one but for £50 I'd like to see it in the flesh. I can't tell from the pics what the money but and card bit are like.

The knomo one looks very nice, and is probably more of a present than the £3 Chinese one! I'll post when my cheapo version arrives but the delivery estimate is 10th - 30th December so it might not be any time soon.

ornellaia · 16/12/2012 17:53

Well the cheap chinese purse arrived, it's ok but the zipped up coin bit has no bottom - it just opens into the rest of the purse, so if you put any coins in there they'd fall out of hole for the phone charger.

My sister says they have nice purses in the apple store.

bishboschone · 16/12/2012 18:24

Oh blimey . I found one the other day and tried to find this thread but couldn't .. Hang on ill try and link

bishboschone · 16/12/2012 18:29

www.tkmaxx.com/view-all-accessories/green-leather-purse/invt/18232040 Can someone convert the link please .. I got it in tan leather but they have leopard print leather and black . It's not advertised as a iPhone purse but the slot at the front is the perfect size and the clasp is secure so I think it was designed for one .. I thought it was genius as I like a big purse to fit everything in and it has a little handle too. Smile

soapnuts · 16/12/2012 18:43

bishboschone - which iphone do you have?? that looks like a perfect xmas pressie for about 50 of my relatives!

bishboschone · 16/12/2012 18:50

4s

bishboschone · 16/12/2012 18:50

Honestly it's genius !

bishboschone · 16/12/2012 18:51

I think a 5 would fit but I haven't tried one yet .. I'm thinking of upgrading my phone so I hope it does .

soapnuts · 16/12/2012 20:17

that's fab - thanks so much bishboschone! i think I'll order myself one as well!

bishboschone · 16/12/2012 20:21

Cool.. If you look on other pages there were other colours . Also had loads in my local shop. I do enjoy a bit of enabling Wink

soapnuts · 16/12/2012 20:43

well you have enabled me to discover that TKMaxx has a website.... that could be very dangerous!! Grin
