Genuine black python skin with two scale patterns
The outside of the card case is genuine python skin, not embossed leather and not a printed pattern. On the large lower slot panel of each face, the scales are big, rounded and overlapping, and their tips are softly lifted, so the panel has a relief you can feel under your fingertips. The narrow upper slot strip and the band across the top of the card case show a much finer, diamond-shaped scale. The python is dyed jet black all over, with a satin sheen on the raised scales and a near-matte finish in the seams between them. Because the pattern comes from the skin itself, the scales on each card case fall in their own natural layout and differ from the photos.
Two stepped card slots on each face and a center pocket
Each face of the card case carries two stepped card slots: a full-width lower slot that covers most of the face, and a narrow upper slot above it. Both slot openings are cut straight across, parallel to the top edge, so the cards stand one tier above the other and each is easy to reach. The back mirrors the front exactly, with the same two stepped slots and no logo. Between the two faces, a center pocket opens along the top edge and is lined in smooth black leather. With four card slots and the center pocket, the card case has five pockets in all: the cards you use every day sit in the slots, and the ones you reach for less often wait in the center.
Smooth cowhide interlining, tonal stitching and finished edges
Inside, the card case is built on an interlining of smooth black cowhide, and its center pocket is lined in smooth, matte black leather, a quiet contrast to the raised python outside. Tonal black stitching runs close to the sides and bottom of the card case, and every edge is finished smooth black. The corners are square and slightly softened. The card case has no snap, zip, clip or other hardware, so it stays flat and slim in a pocket.
A black card case sized for a shirt or blazer pocket
At 10.4 x 6.9 cm (4.09 x 2.72 in), the card case is wider than it is tall and has no fold. It is a little larger than a standard payment card, which measures 8.56 x 5.4 cm (3.37 x 2.13 in), and it slips into a shirt pocket, the breast pocket of a blazer or a small bag without adding bulk.
What fits in the black python card case: 4 cards, business cards and small-folded bills
The card case is 10.4 x 6.9 cm (4.09 x 2.72 in). It holds four cards, one in each of the stepped slots on the front and back, and the center pocket takes business cards, extra cards or a bill folded small.
-
Cards: 4 standard cards, one in each slot, 8.56 x 5.4 cm (3.37 x 2.13 in), two on each face
-
Business cards: US business cards, 8.89 x 5.08 cm (3.5 x 2 in), and European ones, 8.5 x 5.5 cm (3.35 x 2.17 in), fit the slots and stack in the center pocket
-
Bills: a US bill folded in half and in half again, 7.8 x 3.32 cm (3.07 x 1.31 in), slides into the center pocket
-
Pockets: small enough for a shirt pocket
-
Unfolded bills: a US bill is 15.6 cm (6.14 in) long and has to be folded
-
A bill folded once: a US bill folded in half is 6.63 cm (2.61 in) tall, too close to the case's 6.9 cm (2.72 in) height; fold it twice

Coins, keys and AirTag: there is no pocket for them
Caring for genuine python skin
- Wipe the python with a soft, dry cloth in the direction of the scales, never against them, so the scale tips stay flat.
- Keep it dry and clear of heaters and long periods in direct sun; soaked or overheated scales can lift.
- Carry it apart from keys and coins, which can catch the raised edges of the scales.
- Slide cards in without forcing extras into a full slot, so the slots keep their shape.
- Wipe the smooth leather inside the center pocket with a soft, dry cloth.
- Avoid solvents and alcohol-based cleaners on the python, the leather and the finished edges.
Python card case questions
Is this real python skin?
Yes. The outside is genuine python skin, not embossed leather and not a print, so the scale pattern on each card case is unique.
Is python skin the same as snakeskin?
Yes. Python is a snake, so genuine python skin is real snakeskin. Here it covers the outside of the card case, dyed jet black.
How many pockets does it have?
Five: two stepped card slots on the front, two on the back, and a center pocket that opens along the top edge between them.
Is the back the same as the front?
Yes. The back mirrors the front, with the same two stepped card slots. The gold foil GENTCREATE stamp is on the front only.
Will a standard payment card fit?
Yes. The card case is made for standard payment cards, which measure 8.56 x 5.4 cm (3.37 x 2.13 in).
Does it have a snap, zip or clip?
No. The card case has no hardware; its slots and center pocket open along the top edge.
What size is it?
10.4 x 6.9 cm (4.09 x 2.72 in), small enough for a shirt pocket.
Will my card case match the photos exactly?
No. Each card case is cut from its own piece of python skin, so the placement of the scales on your card case is unique to it.
Can I carry cash in the python card case?
Yes, folded small: fold a US bill in half and in half again, to 7.8 x 3.32 cm (3.07 x 1.31 in), and it slides into the center pocket. Folded only once, a bill is 6.63 cm (2.61 in) tall, too close to the case's 6.9 cm (2.72 in) height.
Will business cards fit?
Yes. A US business card is 8.89 x 5.08 cm (3.5 x 2 in) and the case is 10.4 cm (4.09 in) wide, so business cards fit the slots and the center pocket.
