Sticking With My jimmyCASE

Costanza-walletI have talked about phone cases in the past. I have also talked about wallets. Now, I’d consider myself to be somewhat of a fashionable guy. I have a style and I like to keep it clean and having bulky pockets ain’t clean. My every day carry items are pretty minimal. I have my wallet, keys, and phone. I also carry a backpack to work but I’m not counting that since I don’t take it everywhere (like the grocery store). But I do have my wallet, keys, and phone with me all of the time.

The slimJIMMY is the perfect wallet for me. It is small and holds everything I need. I am not big into keeping a Costanza wallet. I don’t need all of that extra stuff. Just give me something that I can easily slip into my pocket with all of the cards and stuff I would need. It’s easy, it’s flat, and it’s not leaving a noticeable bulge in my pocket.

Recently, though I did get some awesome new St. Louis Dad business cards. Now, I would like to have a few of these with me when I am out and about. I could put a couple in my slimJIMMY wallet, but to me, they needed to be somewhere else. So I started checking into an iPhone case with card holder. I knew jimmyCASE had one for the previous iterations of the iPhone, I just wasn’t sure if they had them out for the new iPhone 7. After a quick iPhone 7 wallet case search, I found exactly what I was looking for.

jimmycaseThis phone case is perfect. It is sturdy enough to handle my every day wear and tear on my phone, but also sleek and clean enough for me to keep some of my business cards handy. I have even thought about using this case as my wallet on special occasions when I may not want to have to hold onto my wallet, keys, and phone. I could totally slim down to just phone and keys if I really wanted to. For now I will keep using both as I have a nice setup for them. I love jimmyCASE‘s products and look forward to their next idea. Maybe a slim backpack? I dunno, maybe!

Switching Up My Phone Case with a jimmyCASE

IMG_6900My phone and my wallet are probably the two most important items that I carry with me every single day. My wallet is already pretty slick. I’ve been very happy with the slimJIMMY. The kids are always grabbing at my phone. So keeping it functioning is very important. Because of this I need to keep my phone in a case. I have used several different cases with my phone over the time that I have had it and I haven’t stuck with one in particular but I think I might have a favorite now.

Like I said I’ve been very happy with the slimJIMMY wallet that I have been using I decided why not try out one o f their phone cases. So I got one wooden phone case from jimmyCASE sent over and it is very slick. The wood backing is very eloquent and let me tell you about the whole aspect of using your phone case as your wallet. It is awesome. I am all about carrying less things, but there are some items that I need to have with me all of the time. They are my phone, wallet, and my keys. That’s three items that I need to remember. If I could possibly have less items that would be even better. I already keep the bare minimum in my wallet, so why not try out this wallet slash phone case concept jimmyCASE has got going on here.

IMG_6901After just a week of using the jimmyCASE I am sold on it. I have everything I need right here in one spot. Ya know, last year I lost my wallet at the pumpkin patch and someone was nice enough to turn it in. Because of how small my previous wallet was it fell out of my pocket when I got in my car. If my wallet was included with my phone it would be significantly less likely to fall out of my pocket. Matter of fact, I know it wouldn’t have fallen out of my pocket if it was an iphone wallet.

The jimmyCASE is by far the most versatile case I have used for my phone to date. The quality is spectacular and I am sold on using this case daily. However, as a dad I need to mention the two biggest setbacks with using the jimmyCASE. Let me preface this by saying that these two cons have nothing to do with how the case works or it’s design. It’s just the customer, it’s not the case, it’s me. LOL. Anyways, the two biggest drawbacks are first, if I did lose my phone, then I also lost my wallet. That would suck big time. But you can’t blame the phone case for that. Typically it’s the owner’s fault. The other setback is that when my kids are pawing at my phone I don’t need them to get cheesy puff fingers all over my wallet. What makes this not that big of a deal is how easy it is to change cases on my phone. I can easily swap out my case when the kiddos want to play a game or watch some YouTube Kids.

All in all, I am really digging the jimmyCASE. If you are in the market for a new iPhone 7 card holder definitely give them a look. Their wallet is also pretty awesome as well. But that’s just my opinion.

Little Wallet, Big on Security

slimJIMMY walletThe company behind the innovative JIMMY phone cases are back at it with a new slimJIMMY Premium Slim Wallet. Today they have launched a Kickstarter so you can get your own Premium Slim Wallet. Head on over to Kickstarter at Bit.ly/KICKSTARTERslimJIMMY to join in on the campaign to grab your own.

slimJIMMY sent over one of their new Premium Slim Wallets and I am beyond impressed. For years I have used my own makeshift slim wallet. It was essentially a flap from the inside of a regular single fold wallet. It is well worn and needed to be upgraded. The slimJIMMY wallet is a perfect replacement with bonus added security. The wallet includes material to help block RFID scanners from picking up your credit card info from one of those new chips found in cards these days.

If you are a fan of carrying as little as possible AND protecting your data then I have got to recommend checking out a slimJIMMY Premium Slim Wallet. The nice look and quality material make pulling out my cards and cash not so much an embarrassment anymore. I mean seriously, just look at what I was using (below), to what I’m using now (above).
