Frequently Asked Questions About The Ed Hicks Way iPhone 16 Leather Wallet Case

Will this case fit the iPhone 16 Pro, Plus, or Pro Max?

No. This case is precision-moulded strictly for the standard iPhone 16 (6.1-inch screen). Even small differences in the camera layout and dimensions mean you must select the exact case for your model. (cases for the other phones in the range are here: iPhone 16 Plus; iPhone 16 Pro; iPhone 16e; iPhone 16 Pro Max ).

Does this leather wallet case work with the new iPhone 16 Camera Control button?

Yes. The inner shockproof TPU holder features a precise, engineered cutout specifically for the iPhone 16 Camera Control button, ensuring you have uninterrupted tactile access to all camera functions.

Will the magnetic clasp demagnetize my credit cards?

No. We designed this case with a specialized reversed strong magnetic closing tab. This puts the magnetic field away from the interior card slots, meaning your credit cards, hotel room keys, and transit passes are safe from magnetic corruption. It also won’t interfere with your phone’s internal NFC chip used for Apple Pay.

Can I charge my iPhone wirelessly with this wallet case on?

Standard Qi wireless charging works through our genuine leather exterior. However, because this is a wallet case designed to hold physical credit cards, we highly recommend removing your cards before placing the phone on a wireless charger to prevent your cards from overheating or sustaining chip damage.

Does this case support Apple MagSafe accessories?

Because this case features a physical cardholder and a protective leather folio cover, it is not designed to magnetically attach to external MagSafe wallets or floating MagSafe car mounts. However, you can still charge via standard wireless pads or plug in a USB-C cable without removing the phone from the case.

Why should I choose genuine leather over synthetic or vegan leather?

 Full-grain genuine leather provides superior tactile grip, natural breathability, and exceptional durability. While synthetic PU leather often peels or cracks after a few months of pocket friction, our genuine leather actually improves with age, softening slightly and developing a rich, unique patina over time.

Does this case protect the screen and camera lenses?

Yes. The inner shatterproof TPU shell features raised edges around both the front screen and the rear camera lenses. If your phone is placed on a flat surface or dropped, these raised bumpers take the impact rather than your expensive glass.

Which range of colours do you stock for the Apple iPhone 16?

Black with Red Accents (our best seller); Vintage Brown with Black Accents; Red; Turquoise

How many cards can the wallet slots hold, and does it feature RFID protection?

The case features 3 precision-cut card slots alongside a dedicated vertical slip wallet pocket for cash banknotes. To protect your identity and secure your financial data against digital theft, the entire wallet section is lined with advanced RFID-blocking material.

Will £10 and £20 notes fit in the wallet pocket unfolded?

Yes. $20 and €20 also fit with space for train tickets and receipts left- unless you carry a lot of cash.

Is the case Fully Biodegradable?

Yes. We use not only natural leather but also- and this is a unique feature- a fully biodegradable, shockproof phone holder.

Does the flip cover fold back into a viewing stand?

Yes. The flexible leather spine is designed to seamlessly fold backwards, transforming the wallet cover into a sturdy, hands-free horizontal kickstand. It easily props your iPhone 16 up on any flat surface, making it perfect for catching up on videos or taking hands-free video calls on the go.

Can I use a tempered glass screen protector with this case?

Absolutely. The internal shock-absorbent shell is designed with case-friendly, slightly raised protective edges. It provides excellent screen and camera bump protection while leaving just enough clearance to fit almost all standard, third-party tempered glass screen protectors.

Can I get my case personalised?

Yes. We use traditional “hot foil embossing” to add Initials, Names, short messages or even emergency alternative telephone numbers, in a classy style- although there is a small charge of course.

Can I add a security strap?

Yes. We know that some of our customers really value this feature to minimise the changes of dropping their phone so offer this feature across the range. We use a strong detachable strap and have even had reports of the strap stopping their phone being stolen.

What sort of packaging do you use? 

To avoid yet more cardboard waste, our cases are sent out protected by our own design of reusable pouches which can be re-purposed as soft glasses cases or even cable/headphone bags.  

Do you offer Free Postage?

Yes, within the UK. We even subsidise Fully Tracked and International Tracked services.
