Slide-Cover Wallet Protection for the iPhone 17

Why carry a wallet and a phone case separately? The Red Pepper Cases iPhone 17 Slide Wallet Case combines both into a single dual-layer hard PC and rubber case with a hidden sliding card compartment. The slider reveals a secure slot for up to 3 cards — credit cards, ID, or transit passes — while the outer shell delivers real shockproof protection on all sides. Browse the complete lineup in our iPhone 17 Cases collection.

10 Key Features

  • Slide-Out Card Compartment — A smooth-action sliding panel on the back of the case reveals a hidden card slot that securely holds 2–3 standard cards. The slider snaps closed with a positive click to keep cards secure.
  • Dual-Layer PC + Rubber Construction — Hard polycarbonate outer shell provides structural rigidity; rubber inner layer absorbs impact from drops and prevents scratches. Two materials working together deliver more protection than either alone.
  • 17 Variant Options — Available across multiple color and model combinations for the iPhone 17 series. Select your exact model and color from the variant chooser.
  • Raised Screen Bezel — 1 mm raised lip around the Super Retina XDR OLED keeps the screen off flat surfaces when the phone is placed face-down.
  • Raised Camera Lip — Rear raised ring around the iPhone 17 camera module keeps lenses off tables, desks, and countertops on every placement.
  • MagSafe Compatible — PC back panel is MagSafe-transparent. Cards in the slide compartment are separated from the MagSafe area to avoid demagnetization during wireless charging.
  • Full Button and Port Access — Precise cutouts for USB-C, volume, Action button (Pro/Pro Max), and power button. All controls are accessible without removing the case.
  • RFID Awareness — Cards are stored in a hard-shell compartment that physically separates them from each other, reducing card-to-card interference.
  • Anti-Slip Grip — Rubber outer layer provides natural grip compared to polished polycarbonate-only surfaces. Fewer drops start with better grip.
  • Slim Slide Profile — Despite the integrated card slot, total back thickness is approximately 8–10 mm — slimmer than carrying a separate wallet and standard case.

Material Specifications

  • Outer Shell: Polycarbonate (PC)
  • Inner Layer: TPU Rubber
  • Slide Mechanism: Polycarbonate slider with spring-loaded positive click closure
  • Card Capacity: 2–3 standard cards
  • Weight Added: ~28–35 g

5 Real-World Use Cases

  1. Daily Commuters: Transit cards, building access cards, and credit cards are all pocketable in the slide compartment. No separate card holder needed for the morning commute.
  2. Gym and Running: Leave the wallet at home. Gym membership card and payment card go in the slide; phone and case go in the armband. Simplified carry for every workout.
  3. Travel: Hotel key card, boarding pass card, and a credit card in the slide cover the entire travel day. One item handles both phone and cards in every airport security tray.
  4. Night Out: Phone, ID, and one payment card — everything needed for a night without the bulk of a full wallet or the risk of a clutch bag.
  5. Quick-Service Workers: Staff who use their phone for POS apps and carry an employee ID benefit from keeping both in the same secured case.

Feature vs. Benefit

Installation Guide

  1. Open the slide: Pull the slide panel to confirm it moves smoothly and the card slot is clear.
  2. Install the case: Flex the rubber inner layer and press the iPhone 17 into the case from the top, aligning all port and button cutouts.
  3. Press the outer shell: If PC and rubber are separate layers, press the PC outer shell over the rubber-encased phone until all clips engage.
  4. Load cards: Slide open the compartment and insert 2–3 cards. Close until the slider clicks.
  5. Verify: Test all buttons, USB-C port access, Face ID, and MagSafe attachment.

Troubleshooting

  • Slide mechanism stiff at first? New slides have deliberate resistance. Operate the slider 10–15 times to break in the mechanism. It will smooth out with use.
  • Cards falling out? Confirm the slider is fully closed — it should click positively. Do not overfill beyond 3 cards as this prevents full closure.
  • MagSafe weaker than expected? Check that cards are in the upper compartment, not overlapping the MagSafe coil area. Most designs keep cards in the lower half of the back away from the MagSafe ring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many cards does the slide compartment hold?
A: 2–3 standard credit/debit card thickness cards comfortably. Standard cards are 0.76 mm thick; up to 3 can be stacked without affecting the slider closure.

Q: Does MagSafe work with cards in the slot?
A: Yes. Cards are positioned in the lower compartment away from the MagSafe charging area. MagSafe charging functions normally with cards loaded.

Q: Will cards demagnetize from the MagSafe ring?
A: Contactless cards (chip + NFC) are not affected by MagSafe magnets. Traditional magnetic stripe cards should not be stored directly over MagSafe ring magnets for extended periods.

Q: Does Face ID work?
A: Yes. The top frame cutout fully exposes the Face ID TrueDepth camera array.

Q: Does this fit iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max?
A: Select your model from the 17 available variants. Each is precision-fit to its specific model dimensions.

Q: Can I use this case for wireless charging with cards loaded?
A: Yes. MagSafe and Qi wireless charging work through the PC back with cards loaded in the slide compartment.

Q: Is there an Action button cutout?
A: Yes on Pro and Pro Max variant fitments. The Action button cutout is precisely aligned for iPhone 17 Pro models.

Q: How thick is the case with cards loaded?
A: Approximately 8–10 mm total back thickness with 2 standard cards loaded.

Q: What is the return policy?
A: 30 days, unused, original packaging. See our Refund Policy.

Q: How long does shipping take?
A: Standard US: 5–7 business days. Expedited options at checkout.

Q: Can I use Apple Pay with cards in the case?
A: Yes. NFC passes through the PC shell; Apple Pay tap-to-pay works normally.

Q: How do I get support?
A: Contact us via our Contact page.

Q: Does the rubber exterior scratch easily?
A: TPU rubber is resistant to light surface scratches. Heavy abrasion from keys in a pocket may leave marks over time, though these are cosmetic and do not affect protection.

Q: Is this case drop-tested?
A: The dual-layer PC + rubber construction provides meaningful drop resistance. This is not a heavy-duty rugged case but provides solid everyday drop protection.

Not for short people, as in 5'4"
Color: Black Rhythm
TLDR, this is a used so no warranty. You have to do some putting together, comes in a wide square box, came used that's for sure. Gas lift is wobbly and it costs $90 to replace, again no warranty with this chair buying from here. Not a good chair for someone short, and wearing 28 length pants, feet barely fully floor. Tends to make you lean back, so not a good work chair/competitive gaming chair. Lastly, not comfortable, too much ergonomics (doesn't feel ergonomic though, not for me), imagine trying to get work done and in discomfort, half of the discomfort is from the seat, so the discomfort is felt in the glutes. I'm around 5'4". My glutes are uncomfortable and the mid back is uncomfortable. The seat towards the end it has a lot of pressure so its not comfortable for glutes. It just lacks lower/mid back support, I sit as hips forward and upper back backwards it cannot be adjusted so the seat tilts forward which would probably help relive the discomfort in my glutes as well. My feet barely fully on the ground, so just to give idea 5'4", I wear 28 length pants. No tilt, so I'm sitting leaning backwards a lot, the seat edge curves up so uncomfortable on glutens, doesn't go down far enough either. Not a good chair for a short person, but there is hardly chairs for short people too, very frustrating. $1355, wobbly, still not a good chair for short person, some of the features are not present, forward tilt, the back piece does not go back down by itself either, it leans back with the seat. The back rest it only goes in from the very low back, it makes you lean back even more. Probably a gamer chair sitting leaning backwards, but I play video games too. If your playing competitively your not leaning back your comfortably forward. This chair doesn't have that. This is more an MMORPG chair than a competitive video game player chair. Or someone who does IT work and has to get done, seat forward comfortably, not leaning back. I'd list the pros, but the cons far outweigh the pros and I paid $1355 for this, there should be little to no cons. Chair is not comfortable so it doesn't matter what the pros are, its not comfortable for a short person. I need forward tilt on the seat. Leaning back the seat, the whole seat leans back, so the forward edge leans back too, meaning my feet are not fully/comfortably on the ground anymore.

PURE JOY? Words can't actually express it!
PURE JOY? Words can't actually express it… …so why try. Just say that after a quick and painless assembly of the back onto the chair base, and within mere minutes of sitting in the chair, I knew why it was worth the price in terms of both quality and comfort. I instantly knew it would benefit so many others with a range of different shapes, sizes, and complaints about sitting (especially long periods.) 5 minutes of sitting in the chair and my neck felt different, better... 10 minutes that and my back -- the actual SPINE -- felt no other way than I can describe but "better" because there was no weight on it, no pressure I didn't even realize was there previously in other chairs, and yet it was fully supported. Moving in the chair is also a pleasure -- I can reach back behind me a bit for a tissue on a shelf and the chair curves with my back! in fact, just about any way I move my back at all, the chair moves with it like fluid, providing support and comfort, and without getting in the way! You can spend some time with all the various adjustments (all very simple to operate and understand, but there is an AMAZING amount of flexibility in the configuration for this thing..) So many adjustments! Even for my mom who prefers chairs that tilt forward -- there is an adjustment for that. Curved back or straight? Adjustment for that. Elbow height? Adjustment for that. Long thighs? Adjustment for that!! (yes, the seat fabric can take the good range of movement for this adjustment!) You'll also note quality construction in the frame and casters, and arm rests and how they are attached to the base, and in the tension (also adjustable in several places) in chair movement. Those who need to put weight on their chair arms to sit or get up can easily slide the arm rests down -- and actually USE them to support themselves getting in and out of the chair due to the quality materials/construction. Within 1-1.5 hours of sitting in the chair after making the many various appropriate adjustments and understanding them, I ordered 2 more of these chairs! I needed one for my lady (so she will spend more time in the office with me!) and one for my mom, who really needs this chair for her back, posture, and ultimate comfort. I imagine she will cart it back and forth between her computer desk, kitchen table, and living room replacing the couch/chairs!!! BUY IT!!! For me personally, I did have issues with my back and I found myself recently constantly adjusting my lower back and how I sit. I have a curved back and slouch, rarely sitting with my butt in the back of the chair (towards the rear of the seat, where it generally should be!) but usually in the middle (even to front at times, towards the forward edge of the seat!) I also have shoulder/neck issues from elbow height and it seems no matter what chair/desk I purchase there is never a chair that is comfortable at the same height it takes to get my large thighs under the edge of the desk, in order to get my hands close to a keyboard without slouching forward. All of these issues were wreaking havoc on me in multiple ways, and ultimately I lost productivity and creativity, working less and less. Also I was tired - ALWAYS falling asleep in my chair. Not great when as a small business owner and software developer, I spend sometimes 20 hours in it at a time, and typically spend some number of hours in it 7 days a week. Would I buy another? In a heartbeat! As mentioned, I already bought two more for the important ladies in my life. Next, I will be buying them as bonuses for my employees, it will definitely help their productivity and it is also a tax deductible expense in that regard! 12 year warranty? I can see that not being needed with this quality, but it's good to know. Now, as the title says, words can't express it - JOY! Easiest thing to say is that all the problems in the previous paragraph? FIXED! (and then some) I could write more - this chair will ensure it, but my time is expensive so I gotta move on. JUST BUY IT!

Not a bad chair but not right for those that are bigger.
Color: Black Rhythm, Color: Black Rhythm
I was very hopeful for this chair. It has good build quality. It's made of good material. Unfortunately, I am an older bigger guy. And I'm dealing with a couple issues. One after sitting in the chair for a bit it causes pain on the back side of my hip right at the transfer into the legs. A lot of chairs have this problem. I've been looking for one that doesn't for a while which is why I got into the ergonomic chairs. The mechanism that extends the actual base of the seat out so that you have more of a sitting area has a release and pole mechanism both on the left and right side of the seat pan. It is a hard point and it digs into my legs. The armrests were never designed for someone my size. I have them set to the highest point and the widest point and they barely work. If they could go up a little bit higher it would be more comfortable. And with how they're set for the width, I can barely fit in the chair. They are touching my sides. It might just be the one that I got but the chair sits slightly forward so it's tilted down just a little bit. This makes it so that as you're sitting in the chair, you're sliding a little bit when you just do slight adjustments and you don't feel quite comfortable. Which causes you to move even more. Overall nice chair but not for me. Honestly, it was one of the easiest chairs to assemble. But like I said, unfortunately not right for me

Embody, Leap, Gesture Review
Color: Black Rhythm, Color: Black Rhythm
I purchased this chair with every intent to return it, because I was positive that you could find a better (or equally as comfortable chair) for less money after reading all of the reviews about it. After a lot of hands-on experience with a few chairs, I decided to keep the Embody. For three years, I've used a Herman Miller Aeron. It's very comfortable, but it's what I call a "task chair", and is better suited for the office and less so for gaming or reclining back and watching movies on your computer. When I decided it was time for something more plush and comfortable, I tried out a few chairs: 1. Steelcase Leap v2 2. Steelcase Gesture 3. Herman Miller Embody Here is the short version of the review: - Skip the Gesture all together. The more adjustable armwrests do not make up for the fact that the back and lumbar support is not as good as the other two chairs. In every test besides the armrests, I could not justify getting this chair over the Leap. If this chair were cheaper, I could recommend it over the Leap, but as it stands, you are getting a much better bang for your buck by getting a Leap, or making the jump to an Embody. - Get the Steelcase Leap if you are on a budget, but do not pay more than $500 for the chair. (Madison Seating has some great deals on them refurbished) Past that, you might as well make the jump up to the Embody. The Leap is a very comfortable chair, and probably the one I would recommend to most people who are just dipping their toes into ergonomics on a budget. The cushion on this chair is deceiving, however, because if you have them side by side and you do a quick sit test, you will probably think that the Leap is more comfortable than the Embody due to the more plush seat and back (in comparison to the Embody). When I got the Leap, I immediately thought I would have to send back the Embody when I first sat in it. However, after about an hour, I started to feel pressure and discomfort in my back that I did not feel while using the Embody. After several hours, I realized that I sorely missed my Embody and it's form-fitting structure. Also, be aware that the Leap is a much warmer chair than the Embody. I never get hot in my chairs, but I felt quite warm after sitting in it for a full day. When I sat back in the Embody, it was like a cooling relief. However, I still think the Leap v2 is an excellent chair for under $500, and should be your next step up from a crappy traditional office chair. - Get the Embody if you want the most comfortable chair for the money, and ESPECIALLY if you spend all day sitting. This chair was the hands-down winner if you sit for hours, specifically once you get the chair dialed in to fit your body perfectly and learn to adjust it correctly depending on how you are sitting. It takes a few days of adjustments and trial to finally get that sweet spot, but once you do, it's amazing. The Embody was also the heavier and sturdier chair of the three, and I expect this chair will last a really long time. Bonus, the seat will never go flat. It's a much cooler (temperature) sitting chair than the others, and actually stays cool while you sit in it. The fabric is very comfortable, and while you have to treat it like fabric, it is a much higher-quality material than what is on the Gesture, and especially the Leap (the leap was soft but I don't think the material will wear well). While the Leap felt more plush in terms of cushion, I found this to be deceptive since the Embody proved to be much more comfortable. Overall, I was very impressed by the build quality of the Embody, it was far superior to the other chairs.Even the casters were smoother on carpet. Yes, it's more expensive. But unless you are on a tight budget, this chair will serve you better in the long run than the other two chairs. ******************************************************* First off, you need to understand that chair comfort is a very subjective thing. At the end of the day, most of the reviews out there are literally comparing features and then telling you to go sit on them yourself, because what is comfortable to them might not be to you. Most of the reviews pointed me towards Steelcase, simply because of the adjustable arms. Let's just say that I'm glad I did my own research, because there are more important things than if you can swivel the armwrests backwards. *COMFORT* Hands down, the Embody was the most comfortable chair out of the three, especially when sitting for extended periods of time. You simply cannot sit in these chairs at a store for ten minutes and have that be a good judge of comfort. At first, I thought maybe the Steelcase Leap might be more comfortable than the Embody, but then an hour went by and my body told me that there was no contest, especially in the lower back area. However, the Leap is a very comfortable chair, and excellent for the price. Why is the Embody so comfortable? - The seat is kind of like a hammock, where you are being suspended by netting and supported by plastic coils (you can't feel them), as opposed to sitting on a solid foam object (like the other chairs). It's more complicated than that, but the idea is the same. Basically, your butt doesn't get as fatigued because you aren't flattening it against a solid block of foam. I see this kind of seat lasting for a really, really, long time when compared to a traditional foam seat. - The back is the most comfortable I've felt on a chair. It hugs and conforms to your back regardless of what position you are sitting in. You hardly even notice it, which is the best part. The back slider system on the Leap is a joke, and it's my major complaint with the chair. The Gesture was better, but I preferred the feeling of the Embody. Over time though, I found the Gesture to have less-than-ideal lumbar support, and found myself preferring the Leap over the Gesture for back support. The Embody has a knob that you can use to fill in your back, and after about a week of use I realized you should be adjusting the back for different sitting positions. When sitting straight up, I need to adjust the knob to fill in my upper back and provide some support there, rather than just pure lumbar support. When I recline back, I turn the knob the other way for more lumbar, and it's very comfortable. - Superior reclining ability. I found the recline adjustment on the Steelcase Leap to be really...annoying. The first THREE positions barely do anything, they're still sitting you straight up with just very slight steps in between. Then the last two are more reclined, but not as reclined as the Embody, or as comfortable. Also, I mention this somewhere else in the review, but the armrests do not move with the recline on the Leap, so when you are reclined back, you have to completely adjust the armrests for your new position. On the Embody, you really only ever have to set them once, since they move with the recline. - You can "float" in this chair. You can do it better in the Aeron, but due to the forward placement of the recline mechanism, you can find this wonderful half-reclining position where you feel like your body is being weightlessly suspended, or floating. The chair almost disappears, and your muscles relax. I can sit in this position for several hours, and get up without a single bit of pain or discomfort. It works best if you have a nice keyboard tray, and you can pull the tray into your lap and basically relax everything except your hands to type. - Adjustability, adjustability, adjustability! One of the BEST parts about this chair is how much you can adjust it, and you should be adjusting it often, based on how you are sitting. One of the mistakes I first made was thinking I could set it once and forget it forever, but that's not the case. I use a completely different set of adjustments when I am sitting straight up in the chair as opposed to when I am reclining back and watching a movie or playing a game. At first, I thought I needed MAXIMUM LUMBAR SUPPORT, but I quickly realized that I actually needed more upper back support! A few turns of the knob filled in my upper back, and I felt amazing after sitting all day. I have slightly hunched shoulders from years of bad sitting, and this chair actually forms perfectly to my upper back to support it. If some days I need a little more lumbar support, I just adjust the knob a bit. The Leap and Embody are both comfortable chairs. But for me, I find that the Embody has an edge due to being much more comfortable over long periods of time, and far superior build quality (it's also a lot more expensive). Also, YOU CAN SIT CROSS-LEGGED in the Embody, and it's very comfortable with the back supporting you in different strange positions. I do this a lot when I'm watching a movie or something, and it's awesome. Let me close this part by saying you NEED to spend a bit of time with the Embody to get used to it, and understand how the adjustments work to form to your body. It took me a week of sitting in the chair before I realized I needed to change the back support a bit when sitting straight up, rather than a "one setting fits all" kind of thing. If you buy this chair, spend a minimum of two weeks with it and mess around with it before making up your mind. *DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION* This is a very modern-looking chair compared to the Leap, which some people don't like. Personally, I find it very attractive from the back, but strange looking from the front, almost disproportional when you see how big the seat is compared to the back. The Gesture is much more normal-looking, and the Leap looks like a regular old office chair. I found the overall quality of the Embody to be superior to the other chairs. It just felt and looked so much more sturdy, despite the large amount of thick plastic on the back of the chair. Let's get one thing out of the way: the armrests. If you've read ANY reviews of this chair, people bash on the armrests as being so terrible and wobbly. Honestly, I PREFER the Embody armrests over the other two chairs, hands down. They aren't nearly as wobbly as people say, and actually the Leap had much worse wobble. Yes, the Gesture has much nicer and more adjustable armrests, but I don't find them as comfortable as the ones on the Embody. Once you get the width adjusted, they are rock solid and don't move an inch. Also, they curve down a bit on the outside edges, which is insanely comfortable and follows the natural curve of your forearm. It's hard to explain, but I love the way my arms rest on them. Also, the armwrests move back with you when you recline, rather than staying fixed like on the Leap. I found this to be incredibly annoying, because it meant I had to adjust my armwrests constantly, where on the Embody I didn't need to. The Embody also has very intuitively-placed controls. I looked at the manual once, and then I didn't have to look at it again. The knobs and levers just make sense to me for some reason. The Leap has awful controls, and they're confusing. The Gesture is better, but I prefer the Embody again in this department. It's not like they were impossible to figure out, I just didn't need to think about it. I knew where to put my hand exactly to adjust the recline, back support, etc. It's a small thing, but you can tell they had somebody sit in the chair and figured out where they kept instinctively putting their hands to make adjustments, and designed the controls around that. In terms of weight, the Embody is the heaviest chair of the three. The base really has some weight to it, and the chair feels like it's made of premium materials. The Leap felt much, much cheaper and lighter, and the Gesture is slightly less heavy. Still, I felt like the Leap was made of cheaper stuff and didn't feel as sturdy, even though the entire back on the Embody is plastic. Some people mentioned the Embody being noisy due to the moving parts on the back, but my Embody was the quietest chair of the three. I much prefer the seat adjustment of the Embody, once I got used to it. The Leap was really annoying to adjust the seat, since there isn't a dedicated object to hold onto, and I really loved being able to simply grab the two small handles to adjust the seat on a whim. When I recline back, I like the seat a little longer. I feel like I have a lot more control over the exact length when I'm using my hands as opposed to my hips to try to push it out to the right length. *STUFF I DON'T LIKE* Let's face it, I've said mostly great things about this chair. There are some things that I don't love, but these are mostly nitpicks. - I have a love-hate relationship with the seat slider. I love the idea, and I love how easy it is to slide forward (you're essentially unrolling the fabric and extending the frame to make the seat deeper). I adjust it a lot, because I like the seat longer when I'm reclining back, and shorter when I'm sitting straight up. Sometimes, it can be a bit finnicky to lock in place, and it has a less solid feel than I would like. Still, I like it better than the Leap or Gesture seats. - No headrest option. I was quite bugged that a chair at this price point wouldn't have a headrest, but I suspect it wouldn't work well with the flexible back. It doesn't make or break the chair, in my opinion, but it certainly would be nice. *FINAL THOUGHTS* One of the reasons the Embody is so comfortable is because you barely notice that it's there while you work, but you need to spend some time adjusting the chair to the perfect fit for your body. It has some of the best back support I've ever felt in a chair, and I really dig the looks. I love the seat, because I don't have to worry about it going flat after a few years of use. The armrests aren't as bad as everyone says, and I even preferred them over the competition. The chair reclines wonderfully, and is highly adjustable. I expected to send this chair back, but instead the other two went back. Steelcase makes great chairs, and you can compare based on price, but not pure comfort. I would absolutely recommend the Leap to somebody that is on a budget, and I probably would have been happy if I had only ordered the Leap. However, I once I got the Embody next to it, I couldn't return it, even knowing how much more expensive it was over the Leap. The extra money was worth it, in my opinion. Pair this chair with a footrest and an ergonomic keyboard tray, and you'll realize that your office is the most comfortable place in the house.

A Testament to Comfort: Herman Miller Embody Ergonomic Office Chair Review
Color: Charcoal Rhythm, Color: Charcoal Rhythm
Our latest addition to the office is the Herman Miller Embody Ergonomic Office Chair, marking our third acquisition of this exceptional piece. Despite a less-than-ideal experience with the third-party seller from whom this particular chair was purchased, our review focuses solely on the product's merits, independent of the seller's service and packaging practices. It's worth noting that this chair arrived with a broken wheel and a compromised seat extension control, attributed to the seller's unconventional packaging method and the sale of used items at discounted rates. Additionally, there appeared to be discrepancies in the fabric, suggesting it might not be the original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) material. Setting aside the seller-related issues, the Herman Miller Embody Chair itself continues to be an unparalleled choice for ergonomic seating. The investment in such a chair may initially seem daunting, yet the benefits it offers to one's back, legs, and overall body are undeniable. For those of us who spend the majority of our day seated, the Embody Chair has proven to be transformative, significantly enhancing comfort and support during long hours of work. The chair's exceptional adjustability, ease of use, and comfort are its standout features. It offers a range of adjustments that cater to personal comfort preferences, ensuring optimal support and posture alignment. The ease with which these adjustments can be made allows users to fine-tune their seating experience to their exact needs, highlighting the chair's user-friendly design.
