I recently found out about these amazing cross-body iPhone cases from Cara Van Brocklin’s instagram and immediately ordered this one from Amazon. The accessory is part case, part cross-body bag and I can’t tell you what a game-changer it has been over the past three weeks since arriving at our door. It’s a sleek, slim leather case that also has a snapback pocket for any cards you want to keep handy while on the move. The best part? The case has a detachable cross-body strap that allows you to keep your phone at-the-ready without always having to be in your hand. When I’m at home or at my desk, I easily remove the cross-body strap and it’s just like holding your phone in any sleek case. However, when I’m on-the-go, the cross-body strap is indescribably wonderful. I have my phone immediately available (not shoved into a handbag) but don’t have to hold it in my hand. I can’t tell you how convenient this was while traveling—both in and out of Charleston but also just while exploring the city and hopping in and out of ubers. It’s also just incredibly convenient to have both hands free of my iPhone when out to drinks or during the day running from meeting to meeting. As mentioned, I bought this one from Amazon, but they also sell a ton of other styles at Nordstrom as well. Easily one of the best purchases I’ve made lately and it doesn’t hurt that they look really chic as well.
