Sakroots Artist Circle Smartphone Wristlet

I have been carrying around a clunky purse for a few years (a mommy purse!) and a few weeks ago I realized that what I used most was just what was in my wallet and my phone and everything else I could either stash in the car (like tissues) or keep in my locker at work (dental floss, more tissues, etc)- so began my search for the ideal wallet/wristlet. Most of the ones I found while searching for a "cell phone wallet" were made more like a Kindle case, where you phone stays in the case while it is being used (not for me) but thankfully in that search, I stumbled across this gem! The colors are bright and beautiful (richer in person, which is nice!) and my Samsung Centura phone (in a hard case) fits snugly in the pocket (although, at first it was a VERY tight fit, I've had this wristlet for about a week or ten days and it's now just "safe" snug). There aren't a ton of card slots inside (so if that's important be sure to check out the pictures of the interior!) but that wasn't a big deal for me- I carried around too much unused stuff anyway! I also like that the cash holder part (at the very top) extends the depth of the wallet and that there's a slim pocket (that might be a generous word!) that's good for holding a grocery list. The wristlet part is comfy and easy to put on/remove yet still dangle securely from your hand (I think I have rather wide hands and I it's neither too tight or too loose) and I clip my key ring to the wristlet with the little piece that holds the handle to the wallet and while this makes it a little heavier, for me the convenience is worth it! About the only thing I'm not crazy about is there's a thin "metallic" (read cheap plastic made to look kinda like metal) band across the cell phone pouch under the leather seam (you can see it in the picture) that knows a point or two off asthetics for me, but honestly, I barely notice it anymore! This might not work for everyone as a "purse replacement solution" but it'd still be worth having even if you only wanted to use it on vacation or for a girls day/night out. I would highly recommend it!

I bought this to replace my 2 year old gross, torn, dingy Vera Bradley wristlet that I used when I went to school (college). I've been using this one for a few months now, and it still looks brand new. It is high quality, and I get lots of compliments on it. I've been using it for 4 months now, and I'm still adjusting to the huge size of it. It's not so outrageously huge that I can't stand it, it's just kind of heavy and awkward to carry around as a wristlet. It's definitely more of a wallet. I still carry it as a wristlet, but I do miss the perfect size of the vera bradley one. I could fit my iphone in it & some cards and cash and I was good to go. The positive side of this is that it can hold LOTS, which is definitely nice. I just can't decide if it is worth the trade off of an awkward size.

I think this wallet-thing is delightful. The color is fun, it's small, and carries what I want it to carry.The iPhone 6 is a tight squeeze, but it fits, even with a small cover. If you have one of those monster OtterBox covers, your phone will DEFINITELY not fit. With the cover I have, the phone is a perfect fit in the sleeve, although the strap needs to be about 1/2 inch longer to snap closed. This is not a deal breaker for me, but you may want to consider if it is for you.If they make the strap longer or, heck, replace it with a flap to keep the rain out, this guy gets 5 stars.

This is the third wristlet of this design I've bought. I treat them hard - they're slung around my wrist, overstuffed, every single day. IT gets shoved in bags, pockets, glove compartments and backpacks. I wouldn't blame the strap if it gave up the ghost after a few weeks. It would make sense if this beloved thing started looking a bit tattered and beaten up after a month or two. Nothing like it. This thing is DURABLE. It takes a licking and protects my valuables while looking great. I added a carbiner to the hook where one of the long straps goes, and tack my keys onto it. This means I can carry my wallet, keys & phone (in a dress) without any hassle. Did I mention it's highly water resistant, for those times I planned poorly and got caught out in a thunderstorm?I can put a T pass in the pocket in back and touch it against the reader without even removing it. Nice.This particular design is even fancier than my last two (red and blue). There's an embroidered feather on the lower right hand corner. The pocket for the phone is deeper than prior versions (easily fitting a phone larger than my Galaxy S4 Mini). On the inside, they've added a medallion that says "Peace". It seems extremely firmly attached.I'm tempted to buy a few more in case tragedy ever occurs and they stop making them.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! I bought the Sakroots Convertible Backpack in the same print (Indigo True Love) to match. I've had it for over a year, and it has withstood all the tests that time could give. The zipper is still in perfect condition, the strap hasn't even begun to wear down, and the hook & eye closures (which attach the brown leather strap to the wallet itself), haven't even begun chipping. The inside of the wallet holds my gajillion credit cards, my coins, and my cash money without having difficulty zipping up. Again, I've had this over a year and I use it every day, and it has not even begun to show any signs of wear or tear. Neither the pattern nor the fabric have faded. Definitely worth each and every penny. You get what you pay for!*P.S. The only smartphone it can hold with no problem is the iPhone 4s. Anything bigger than that, and it won't fit. I have the iPhone 6s now, and it's no bueno trying to get it to fit. Still worth the buy though!
