Especially now that Apple has rolled out Apple Pay for mobile payments, it’s a great time to ditch your old-school leather wallet and start using an iPhone 6 wallet case that will hold credit cards, cash, and ID. Of course, you’ll still need to slim down — and pay more attention to your iPhone than ever so it doesn’t get lost or stolen — but accessory manufacturers have started delivering some interesting wallet case options, even for the iPhone 6 Plus.

Most wallet cases will hold three cards and have a bit of room for some cash. That’s a tight squeeze, but doable for a night on the town, traveling for work, or just hanging out. You can slip your driver’s license into the case along with an extra credit or debit card as a backup for using the traditional swipe-and-sign method — as well as slip an insurance card in there too if you’re particularly accident prone.

There are two basic types of wallet cases to consider — a polycarbonate and rubber case with slots in the back for cards or a leather folio case design that folds open to hold slots for cards. Both have their charms, but most (not all) of the folding wallet cases mean you have to let the wallet hang open in order to take photos.

To help you decide if a wallet case is right for you in 2015, check out the 15 best wallet cases and see if you’re ready to ditch your old wallet for good. . . .

15 Best Wallet Cases for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus

1. Dock Artisan Sport Leather Wallet Combo Case

The Dock Artisan Sport Leather Wallet Combo Case uses magnets to let you secure and remove your iPhone 6.

There’s a lot to like about the Dock Artisan Sport Leather Wallet Combo Case. While it seems like a standard leather folio case with three cards slots and a larger cash slot, the polycarbonate case that holds the iPhone in place uses magnets to connect your iPhone 6 to the leather wallet portion of the system. Ingenious. It also means that you can slip your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus from the wallet to answer calls, take photos, or just spend some quality time with your iPhone without having the folio section flapping around or folded back on itself. Nice. Very nice. This case is also available for iPhone 5/5s owners. Available in classic black or vintage brown.

I've been writing about the tech industry since the birth of the email newsletter, and I still remember the clacking Mac keyboards from high school -- Apple's seed-planting strategy at work. I'm a big fan of elegant gear and great tech, but there's something to be said for turning it all off -- or most of it -- to go outside. Online I like to call out cool stuff on Wicked Cool Bite and blog with my buddies at Man Makes Fire. To catch me, take a "firstnamelastname" guess at the url of this site.
