Stick-on (or adhesive) wallets are the perfect solution for folks who want to leave their wallet at home, but hate the bulkiness of dedicated cases. These are essentially thin pouches that adhere to the back of your device and hold your credit/ID cards and some cash. We know this is not your typical accessory category, so we’ve put together a list of some good options that work with most recent iPhone models.
CardBuddy Deluxe Leather Stick-On Wallet
The CardBuddy Deluxe is a leather stick-on wallet for the iPhone 6 or later and it should work with most smartphones. It uses a super strong 3M adhesive for easy application and reliable attachment, and it can even attach to the back of an OtterBox and other cases. It can hold up to 3 cards and cash, features minimal branding, and comes in a multitude of colors.
You can buy the CardBuddy Deluxe for $17.
Gecko Stretchy Lycra Extra Tall Adhesive Wallet
This extra tall adhesive wallet from Gecko can hold up to 6 cards, cash and even earphones. It’s made of a durable elastic fabric that holds everything secure—so secure that you can turn your phone upside down and nothing will fall out. It measures 60mmx96mmx2mm and includes an RFID card protector and microfiber screen cleaner. I kind of dig the Gecko logo and the overall look of this one.
