Style and substance don’t often go hand in hand, but with this wood-effect wallet case from Smartish, you can tick both boxes. The Wallet Slayer case also comes in an array of other colors, but we love this light wood version, and we think it’s the best wood wallet case you can buy Fir Sure (sorry).
