As an iPhone user myself, I find the Waterfield Smart iPhone 4 Case extremely useful. If I had to choose over what to leave at home regarding my [wallet or phone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellroy-mag-wallet), I would ditch the wallet.

Of course, that’s not entirely possible as you’ll never know when you need some fast cash when you’re out, but the Waterfield Smart iPhone 4 Case consolidates all that for me. With its handy pocket on the cover, I can keep my [cards, keys or earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sigracen-case) close to me. The snug sleeve even features an inner, ultra-luxurious suede lining, so that every time you pull your phone out, it automatically wipes off oily residue.

The Waterfield Smart iPhone 4 Case comes in [six colors and three different styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-17-cases).
