A protective shell designed for a specific smartphone model, the iPhone X, incorporating a feature to securely store cards, typically credit cards, identification, or other similar items. This accessory aims to provide both safeguarding for the device and convenient storage of essential cards, streamlining the user’s daily carry. These cases often vary in material, ranging from flexible plastics to more rigid composites, and can feature different mechanisms for card retention, such as slots, sleeves, or snap-on covers.

This evolution reflects a consumer desire for convenience and efficiency in managing their personal belongings.
