How The Pocket Book Became Modern

I’ve been designing iPhone cases for nearly 15 years—a fact that still feels a bit surreal. It all started back in the spring of 2010 when I stumbled across the Dodocase iPad case. That small start-up was crafting iPad cases that looked just like Moleskine notebooks—simple, elegant, and downright beautiful. I remember thinking, “They need to make something like this for the iPhone!” That spark of inspiration ignited an idea, which evolved into a business plan, and eventually became my first online company.
The vision was clear: a pocketbook-style iPhone case that could hold all your essentials in one sleek package. At Burton Goods, we set out to modernize that concept, creating a wallet case that’s not only functional but also stunning to look at—something that seamlessly fits into your everyday carry.

Now, after 15 fascinating years of designing and refining, I’ve arrived at the Modern Pocket Book for iPhone. This case is the culmination of everything I’ve learned over a decade and a half of crafting wallet cases. It’s the best of the best, and here’s why:
Two cases in one. Our proprietary magnet array keeps everything securely in place. You’ve got to hold it in your hands and detach the interior case to feel just how satisfyingly solid it is—we’re obsessed with it!

The perfect wallet balance. It’s got just the right number of slots for credit cards and a cash pocket—not too many, not too few. Plus, we’ve added RFID shielding for that extra layer of security.

MagSafe ready. Absolutely! Pop off the interior case, and any MagSafe charger snaps right on without a hitch.

Timeless design with a modern edge. I wanted a look that nods to classic heritage while feeling fresh and functional. We’ve finished it with full-grain leather, striking contrast stitching, and a magnetic closure that ties it all together.
For me, the heart of being an entrepreneur lies in design. It’s where creativity and reimagination come alive, making every challenge of running a business worthwhile. Finding beauty in these creations is hands-down the best part of my day. I hope you’ll give one of these cases a try and see the same magic I do in every detail.
