Vera Bradley Women's Signature Cotton Smartphone Wristlet with RFID Protection

First off I love Vera Bradley everything and have several wallets like this. I love that it holds everything I need to run into a store plus it holds my iPhone 7. The only problem with this one is the think metal zipper they used. It does not slide well being such a heave metal zipper instead of the nylon. I'm hoping I'll break it in and it will fix itself or I'll be returning it. That being said the colors are beautiful. I bought the matchup my Glenna bag as well.

90% of the time, I only carry my phone (iPhone X) in a wallet case, and car key. Nothing else. I use ApplePay and Walmart Pay just about everywhere I go/live, and my phone case has my Drivers License, and a backup debit card just in case. Im not a girly girl who carries 5-lbs of makeup, a box of kleenex, and the kitchen sink every time I leave the house. (Seriously, what are these women carrying in these purses I see everywhere - their like duffle bag purses!!) Like I said, my phone in my pocket, and Im out the door. No emergency is gonna be that big that I need to carry 20-lbs of "just incase" items around with me all day in a duffle bag purse. I do have nice purses, and occasionally carry a nice purse, just don't see the point or need to on an everyday basis :)Enter VB Phone Wristlet. I love it! Its small, simple, classy. I have all my "real" cards in this case as well as paper cash money, and a few trinket type items in the zippered coin pouch. My iPhone X in a wallet case (not a folio, just a 2 slot on the back kind) fits perfectly in the phone slip pouch on front.Now you might be asking, if I don't carry a purse, and only use my phone when I leave home, for general shopping/errands/work, why do I need a wristlet? A) I have a lot of debit/credit cards and this gives me a way to keep them all in one little wallet (holds 2 per slot) that also fits my phone, when I go places I might want/need more then just my phone. Basically travel and weekend type getaways away from our home city area. Although I live in a very tech centered area and Apple Pay/Samsung Pay/Android Pay are literally accepted everywhere (here at least), there are little rural towns throughout America that are lagging behind in the technology field lol. I don't blame them at all its a cost issue to upgrade point of sale equipment to accept digital payments, especially if your a small mom and pop type business to begin with. But seriously, one little family restaurant we stopped for lunch at on one of our travels didn't even accept physical cards! in 2018! No debit cards, no credit cards, no anything. Cash only and nothing larger then $20s. It was like a Twilight Zone episode....cue music.....(dodo dodo)....Luckily hubby had cash on him or we would have been doing dishes that night lol.So now, if I know we're traveling further from our home area, especially into more rural type areas (bless their little hearts) I have a wristlet to have more physical cards, and more importantly 'cash' on me, just in case we find ourselves once again.....in the Twilight Zone....:)

This is a very nice wallet but it isn't going to work for what I purchased it for. The Rfid also protects the ID window. I need to remove my work ID (Which has the chip) out of the front ID window so I can swipe it on the reader. I need to unzip the wallet to retrieve the ID. It is very good quality and it does exactly what it is supposed to do. It protects the credit cards. It hold my Iphone6 real nicely. I just wish the ID slot could have access from outside of the wallet.

Perfect buy! I had an older version of this for years until it completely wore out. I attached it to my keys with a long lanyard so I never lost my keys or wallet because they were together. Over the years, I tried other wallets but I was never fully satisfied. I bought a bigger wallet from Target that managed to fall out of my jacket pocket! Thankfully the police found it, but that was enough for me to realize I needed to go back to this fantastic wallet. The new feature is the cell phone pocket! It fits my iPhone 6s perfectly with a basic silicone case.

I usually carry a large purse for the work week. I have a 35 min. Commute from my home to my job. So I wanna make sure I have anything I may need for the long work day. But, when I get home or on the weekends I stay pretty local to the house. So, if I need to just drop off one of my kids or grab a few things at the store; I don't need much of what I carry during the work day. That's where this fabulous little clutch comes in handy. I'm using it as my wallet in my new, V.B. north/south sling along bag. (That will be in another review.) It has 8 card slots that real credit cards will fit in! A zipper pocket for a little change, a large place for cash to fit in, a back pocket just for ur I.D., (I like my I.D. separate with easy access.) I have a slider pen I can cradle in the crease, but no room for a whole pack of checks. So, I just stash a few in one of the pockets. The phone pocket is ideal, but snug. I have an LG style 2 phone, which just barely slides in. With some usage the material will flex better. Pattern has bold shades of pink/purple mostly and white/black/orange accents. The great quilting lines made it soft and fluffy. Perfect size wristlet when you need ur handles free. Plus, security feature against card readers. With just the things I need in the wallet I can head it and my keys and go.My only real issue is a pucker in the stitching on the phone slot side.

I absolutely love the modern medley pattern and I’m so sad that it’s retired. I’m grateful that I’ve been able to purchase several different products in this pattern from amazon since it’s been retired. This is the best wristlet I’ve ever used. I love the size and space. It’s so easy to just pick up and go if I don’t need my purse, but it’s small enough to fit inside my purse as a wallet. My only complaint is that the wrist strap location kept getting in the way of the zipper. What I did to fix it was I removed the leather piece on the zipper and moved the wrist strap to the zipper. It works much better like this. I wish Vera Bradley would consider making this adjustment.

This Vera Bradley Wristlet is perfect for me. My credit cards and ID are protected and my iphone 6 fits in it even with the Otter case that I have on it. It's very well made and I love the pretty design that Vera Bradley always offers. Love it!

Great little piece to have poolside.
