MagSafe is now part of the BookBook story.

Knowing the Apple MagSafe Charger is the fastest way to charge iPhone 12, we retooled BookBook’s leather shell to be MagSafe compatible. When it’s time to charge your iPhone, simply separate the magnetic shell from the wallet and attach it to your MagSafe Charger. You can also use the BookBook shell with MagSafe accessories, including car mounts, charging pads and desktop stands like Forté.

Your everyday carry in one sophisticated case.

Your wallet and iPhone go pretty much everywhere you go. BookBook holds both in the form of a mini leather book. Your bank cards, ID and cash are conveniently held on one side, with iPhone on the other side. A camera cutout lets you easily snap photos and video. BookBook has a built-in viewing stand to FaceTime or view your favorite shows. If you think about it, BookBook for iPhone will become the storybook of your life.

No need to shell out money for a shell.

At the gym and need your iPhone, but not your wallet? No problem. Held in place by powerful hidden magnets, the shell can be quickly removed - just pull it away from the wallet. And the beautiful leather-inlayed shell provides five-sided protection. It’s like getting two cases for the price of one.

Part book. Part security blanket.

Behind the vintage look of BookBook is the story of protecting modern technology. BookBook for vol. 2 has a 30 millimeter magnetic tab that keeps the case closed, protecting your phone and the contents of your wallet. Hardback book covers and a rigid spine protect your iPhone from scratches and impacts. The final chapter is stealthy security. BookBook disguises your iPhone as a vintage book, keeping your phone out of sight, even in plain sight.

"The BookBook Vol.2 is one of the best folio cases I have ever used — hands down."

BookBook for iPhone XS Max FAQs

Does standard wireless charging work with BookBook for iPhone 12 models?
Wireless charging, at best, can be tricky. The new iPhone 12 models introduced MagSafe charging which promises to improve the wireless charging experience immensely, however, standard Qi wireless charging remains problematic for some. Additionally, cases designed before MagSafe was announced, like our BookBook, cannot offer the improved MagSafe experience.
Is the BookBook shell MagSafe compatible?
Yes, the BookBook shell for iPhone 12, 12 Pro, 12 mini, and 12 Pro Max have been updated to include MagSafe compatibility.
Have a previous version of BookBook for iPhone 12? Great news - you can upgrade it! Learn more here.
Why does Twelve South recommend keeping the titanium Apple Card specifically in the card slot with the window?
The window slot provides edge-to-edge protection, which has two benefits. It keeps the Apple Card stain-free, and it keeps the metal edges of the Apple Card away from your iPhone screen. Additionally, the window slot has a thumb-slide, allowing quick and easy access to your Apple Card.
What is so “new and improved” about the BookBook vol 2 shell?
The new BookBook shell isn’t just better-looking than any of the versions that came before it; it’s also more protective. It is more flexible, helping mitigate damage from falls, and the iPhone is easier to remove from the shell compared to our previous versions.
Will the hands-free display mode work with the new design?
Yes, you will still be able to use your BookBook as a hands-free stand. Note, however, that when the BookBook is new, the crease in the back cover is stiff, so for the first few times, you will need to bend the cover along that crease to loosen it up to ensure the iPhone shell will stay attached to the back cover via the magnets.

    Best bookcase around for an Iphone

    The best bookcase available for the iPhone (17 Pro Max).

    Very sturdy and of excellent quality — you can immediately feel the durability and craftsmanship when holding it.

    A big plus is that the case can be detached from the book section and easily placed in the car mount.

    There’s plenty of space for multiple cards as well.

    All in all, it’s a truly perfect case that offers outstanding protection for your iPhone, combined with great convenience.

    I have not bought an iPhone without a Book Book for as long as I can remember buying iPhones. I feel a bit like this was made specifically for me as I've been bugging you on twitter to make these again! Thank you, thank you, thank you. :)

    Best iPhone case by miles is back again

    So, my BookBook journey thus far has been iPad mini cases, each one has outlasted the iPad within, which has always remained in A1 condition, just age (and lack of latest iOS) getting the better of it. I decided to move to a phone this year and was disappointed when I found no BookBook available. Then this new case came out within days of ordering my new phone and I was thrilled. I checked the UK store and it kept saying BookBooks were discontinued, so placed a preorder in the US store and accepted the shipping cost. Typically the day it shipped was the day it suddenly showed up in the UK store! Anyway, it arrived safe and well in a very nice box, the case itself is beautiful. The colour bands, blue and red are more muted than in the photos and the leather is more matt finish, all of which look so much classier. The magnetic clasp is perfectly aligned, and the construction beautifully executed. Card slots are tight but not too tight and the cash section holds all UK bank notes with ease. The inner phone shell is high quality, with buttons for all except the photo controls which is a recessed opening. Openings for speakers and charger are perfectly centred. The case fit to the phone is tight, the camera protection is fractionally taller than the lenses adding to excellent all round phone protection. The magnetic connection inner shell to BookBook outer is strong but the phone has a larger range of movement than I would have liked (not a dealbreaker by any means)

    Thank you!

    Love the BookBook! I’ve had one for every phone, since the BookBook first came out. Was devastated when you stopped making them. Fits the 17 perfectly. Wish it still had the ID pocket, though. It wouldn’t matter if my state had the digital driver’s license. Thank you for bringing it back.

    Hi Brian, thanks so much for your feedback! Note that there is still the option to store up to 4 cards in this version of BookBook. I know it's not the same as the ID window. We appreciate hearing from fans like you!
