You know how it is, you’re going out for the night and want to carry as little as possible.  The females of the species have handbags to store their essentials, but let’s face it – the man-bag is still a contentious issue in the gentleman’s clubs and drinking houses of Blighty, so unless you’re in a boy band you’re probably stuck with heaving pockets.

Enter the “ID Case” from Case-Mate.  It’s such a simple idea – you don’t always need your whole wallet with you, so why not have a phone case which also holds your credit cards and cash?  You just need your keys and you’re all set.

It comes with a protective film to guard your phone from scratches and comes in a range of 8 colours.  Hot pink anyone?

Available direct from Case-Mate for $29.99.  Including shipping to the UK it works out around £21.
