Black Minimalist Wallet

Love this wallet. Small and hides in your pocket. Durability is amazing. Love that I can slip my license in the clear sleeve in the front so I don’t have to pull it out.

I received a Ridge brand wallet as a gift many years ago, but over the years it lost screws and was falling apart. Ridge does have a good warranty for life and will replace the screws which they did, however, I have one other problem with Ridge, the clip was a little too high profile. As I waited for the parts for Ridge to arrive, I purchased this wallet to keep my cards in while I waited for the parts for the ridge. I'm actually very pleasantly surprised number one the cost was significantly lower than the ridge product and I would say the quality is as good especially for the price point. I especially like being able to put my drivers license or my ID card in the clear sleeve on the outside of the wallet. It's just convenient.. I highly recommend this. I also like to be able to put a couple business cards in the wallet..

I got this one because the one I got last year broke. But I do like it.

The wallet is fantastic, the only issue i have is that I wished it had the option to slide up the cards.......didn't realize it wasn't on this....my bad. What you get though is a well built card holder...hopefully the elastic dont wear out...

My son loves this. It does hold 15 cards.

I have been using an EZGO card holder for years and love it. I wanted something with RFID blocking so I thought I would try this. It seems the same as most others of this style so these are a no go for me. First issue is cash, loading cash under the clip is fine except that I don't want to fold it 4 times because the the bills are to messy, IMO. Folding in half the bills get caught on edges messing them up. The EZGO they slide in the middle and stick out just enough to grab. Bills stay pretty nice. I guess if you spend the cash fast enough it wouldn't matter but I hold my cash for rainy days. Another issue is folded in half the are a bit wider than the wallet, so that makes getting the cards a nuisance. Again my opinion. So that is my next gripe... Cash in the way aside, getting the card you want out of this just plain sucks. You have to slide them all out, try to fan them a bit to get the correct card. Then use it, slide back in, level out and push back in. That may not seem like a big deal, but the EZGO is just so much nicer. For one it is two sided so I can have drivers license and work ID on each side, then have my credit cards underneath. Just remembering what cards are on what side narrows fiddling with all the cards. Sliding the cards in and out is so easy, and they never fall out. Another issue I have which is a positive to this wallet is with my work ID inside I can't use it at work, so the RFID does work very well. My work ID is just a touch to big to fit in the outside pocket so I can't put it there. I am going to stick with the EZGO and try some RFID cards on top of the credit cards and under my ID cards and see if that will do what I want. All in all it is a nice looking card holder, and if I put more time into getting used to getting the cards out it may become less of a pain. But the cash holder is a deal breaker for sure for me. I have been using the EZGO for so many years I can't give it up...it's almost perfect... I debated giving it 2 stars but technically there is really anything bad about the unit itself, just using it in practice, at least for me is not a good experience...

I’ve used money clip type wallets for close to 2 decades. My day-to-day used to be a dress leather one (Coach) that allowed me to hold up to about 4 ID and or credit cards along with a wad of cash. While it worked well, my work place required me to present an ID badge each time entering the building. Pulling out my ID got annoying, really fast. I eventually purchased a badge holder that incorporated a money clip on the backside which I still use. I like it, however it is limited to holding my work ID badge and an ATM card card behind it. So where does this minimalist wallet fit in? Somewhere in between the leather dress wallet and my work badge wallet clip. I have attached a video that shows what the wallet looks like holding some cash, a credit card in the ID bay, and 5 additional cards in the sandwiched slot area. So it can hold more than my Coach wallet could, but it starts to get thick and heavy. That said, here’s my take for pros and cons. Pros: - Very good price point for features - All card holding areas are snug; a shake test didn’t cause any cards to accidentally fall out - Easy ID retrieval from the ID holder area - Generous elastic; 3 bands help to ensure that the main card holding area is secure; of course time will tell on its durability - If you’re the lanyard type, there is an attachment area located on the money clip Cons: - The robust materials used means that the wallet is relatively heavy even when empty - Carbon fiber looking material used for the backing is rather thin; as a result, the edges feel a little too sharp for my taste (though not dangerous) - Lanyard attachment design will likely interfere with any wad of cash held by the clip; while it’s likely to work, attaching a lanyard clip will likely cause any clipped cash to not be able to seat all the way to the spine of the clip (minor, but a detail worth mentioning) Conclusion: Anyone purchasing this minimalist wallet should know ahead of time what qualities they’re looking for. If you want something industrial looking, high functionality, and will mostly pocket carry, this wallet fits the bill. If you’re needing something light, or to wear around your neck, or if you truly are a minimalist that will carry a couple cards and cash at most… you will likely find this wallet over featured and too thick and heavy.

I have to admit, this is a great wallet. I especially like the clear slot I can put my license in, making it easier to show if needed. The price was the icing in the cake.
