Women's pockets vs. divorce. What is really cheaper?
I received my new carbon fiber color metal "slim" wallet and realized I was not prepared for this. Of course like any good husband, it is my responsibility to carry the cards, id's, money, gift cards, punch cards for free coffee, coins, coats, phones, and everything else my wife can toss my way. So for those of you that don't know, women's clothes either have fake pockets or some form of a slit where 2 quarters won't fit.
Therefore, it is my responsibility to carry EVERYTHING for her and the family. Making carrying my old wallet like trying to stuff WALLE in your pocket. Try sitting with it in your back pocket and you basically are sitting on a rock trying to stab its way through butt cheek.
Way nicer than expected!
I bought this with a different brand in mind. Now that brand was a $120 wallet that looks just like this one but that wallet didn't have the ID clear slot on it. Which is an awesome feature. I bought it expecting a huge difference in quality and I was surprised at how nice this one is. The carbon fiber is obviously not the real stuff but it's a wallet. Who really sees it other than you? If this thing lasted a month I'd be happy but it's been a few months and it still looks new. I will buy more of them just for the variety. You'll love it the same as I do. Save your money on those over priced things. They're not different enough to justify an extra $100!
I had my doubts, but this is the best wallet
It took me a while to get used to a few things - how to easily get cards out, remembering how to remove my ID, etc. I almost gave up, but I grew to really like this wallet after a couple of weeks.
At first I was afraid my cards would fall out, I was afraid my money would slip out of the clip, etc, but this wallet is sturdy and reliable. The dimensions are smaller than most wallets, but it can easily fit a lot of cards. Great wallet. I'd buy it again if I lost the one I have. Plus it looks cool.
Pretty Cool Backup Wallet
So, in the past, I've been accused of having a "George Castanza wallet". I like my leather three-fold, but it is a pain carrying around all the card sleeves to stop RFID scans. Makes carrying my everyday cards a bulky affair.
A friend of mine had one of these. After seeing it up close, I decided I should try one out. The particular one he had was probably 5x's what I paid, and I wonder now if that makes a difference somewhere.
To be clear, this isn't a bad choice by any means. When I go on vacation I'll probably use this the most, since I don't carry EVERY card with me around. So lightweight it's easy to forget it's there. And to be fair, I haven't yet tried to see how many cards it can fit, but it seems like it holds a good amount.
3mos... so good, so far
I read some of the cons about clip breaking and license falling out. I have NOT experienced those issues, or any issues yet, for that matter. If you have a single bill, the clip doesn't hold it well unless folded extra times. License stays put, 7 cards of varying thickness. Tested RFID using a number of ways and my cards weren't able to be read.
My First Slim Wallet
This my first slim/minimalist wallet and it is awesome. The clear window on the front is very handy and works for scan readers on doors, elevators, etc. Just hold it against the scanner and bingo! Not counting the clear window, I have carried 12 cards but recommend 6 or less. The reason is 10+ cards will make the wallet bulkier and defeat the reason for a minimalist wallet. The clip is money! I am glad I got the version with the clip.
My only concern/draw back is the stretch bands on the bottom and sides. These allow the wallet to expand and compress to hold credit cards. I fear normal wear and tear over the years will eventually cause these elastic bands to fail. Additionally, avoid carrying anything laminated (CCL, Proof of Insurance, etc.) because the laminate will snag and cut into the elastic bands.
Counter intuitive loading unloading
The good....
Looks sturdy. The non elastic parts should last a while.
The OK
it uses elastic bands to hold the top and bottom plates together. These are VERY strong out of the box.
To load cards is straightforward except the ID window where it loads and unloads from the back. NOTE: it holds a standard Driver's License.... ONLY ONE. Other IDs are slightly too big vertically and there really isn't enough room to put another behind the DL.
The concern: The elastic bands/straps hold everything tight out of the box. Time will likely stretch them out and sweat and heat will likely kill them eventually
$25 for the one I bought... $15 might be a better price but then they would likely charge 9.99 shipping instead of including PRIME delivery.
Needs a getting used to
My first reaction was that it was a pain to take a card out, but slowly I started getting used to it and the wallet is great for minimal people. I usually don't carry cash so I use the clip to hand it on the inside of my back packet so it just doesn't sit in there. It really helps to feel more confident when walking.
