First up, our attention has been drawn to the SmartFlex Card for $34.95, as this is ideal for carrying up to three cards and cash notes inside a flexibly protective case.

We previously brought you news that featured the CandyShell case back in November last year. It was an article of the seven best cases that were available. This case is multi-functional as not only will it cover and protect your iPhone but it also acts as a card holder.

This means you can offload a little weight from your purse or wallet as it can hold up to three credit cards including your driver’s license for example, at one time. The case is made of a rubbery material that will grip your cards tightly; even a single card can be secured.

It will fit all versions of the iPhone 4 including AT&T and Verizon and is available in a number colors including purple with teal, black and white and black and grey. The CandyShell Card case is for sale now for $39.95.
