When I heard about The Callet, I read about it in a magazine (see the photo on the right). I thought it was a stroke of genius. Instead of carrying around a phone AND a wallet, I could slip my credit cards into my phone case. Life would be just a tad simpler.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work that way for me. Firstly, it wasn’t able to hold more than two cards and I have a total of five if you count my driver’s license and health insurance card in the mix. So, I thought I might be able to pare things down. Maybe I needed to be more streamlined, so I chose my favorite two and used them with The Callet.

That’s when things got really awkward. There are few things more embarrassing than struggling to get your card out of your wallet when it’s time to pay and The Callet made me feel that way EVERY time I used it. The case is made out of silicone, so it REALLY sticks to your card as you’re trying to remove it. I had such a hard time getting my cards out that I only used The Callet case for ONE DAY. I couldn’t take it anymore.

Slimming down to only two cards was hard enough, but when it came time to pay, I just couldn’t bear to fight with the damn thing just to get my card out.

If you are tempted by The Callet, don’t waste your money. It really isn’t worth it.
