I have been using all my iPhones naked over the years and only use a Shocksock slip case for transportation. With an 8 plus purchase that has a glass back that I'd need to protect with an Apple leather case, this setup won't fit in the Shocksock slip case designed for the 8 plus.

Long shot but can anyone recommend a slip case that will fit?

I’m in the UK and have used FitBag sleeves for my iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 7 Plus with Apple leather cases. I also got FitBag to make a custom leather sleeve for my iPhone XR with Mujjo leather case. The service was fantastic, the fit and quantity of the leather superb too. All at a very reasonable price.

If interested search for FitBag on Amazon.

Thanks for the info it's appreciated. I was hoping for a case with a top flap to stop debris getting in. You mentioned you asked them to make a leather sleeve, does this mean their open to customer jobs?

Also which model did you buy for your 7 plus?

Thanks

Ahhh... for some reason I couldn’t see your picture when I replied. Although I work out doors and use the sleeve to protect the phone from debris in my pockets. It‘s easier to keep the sleeve spotless than all my pockets! Over all the years I’ve never had a problem with debris getting in but I appreciate that peoples use cases will vary.

For my 7 Plus I bought the Jive Gray. At the time they were making a version to fit the 7 Plus with Apple case. I haven’t looked to see if they still do.

Yes, they made a custom open top sleeve leather for me. They were more than happy to do it. I payed €28 for it. It took about 2.5 weeks but the quality was great and after a year it still looks as good as new.

Thanks again. I'll drop them an email and see what they have and can offer.

I'm surprised there's not more cases that can accommodate the Apple leather case. Do people who use this case just throw it in their pockets?
