Maxpedition Gear Urban Wallet

Just what I wanted! I had the same exact style--minus the velcro tab--in leather that I got many years ago at a trade show. The leather finally started splitting at the folds and looking pretty ratty. Having other Maxpedition gear I knew I could not go wrong. It has a nice clear pocket for driver license on one side, and a pocket for often-used cards, then the main pocket for everything else. It holds more cards than my previous leather one held (I hope I don't fill it up!) There is also an outside pocket on back of wallet. Having the nice velcro tab is nice as my leather one sometimes opened up in my bag and dumped out all my cards. It could only be better if it were a smidge (.5") wider--when I put folded bills in the outside pocket, they stick out further than I would like (i.e. looking at the wallet you would see the edge of money sticking out of the wallet). Having this little bit of width would also keep my license from getting slightly rolled on one edge. I have it flattened down as much as I can get it, it does work great, and would definitely purchase again.

I've used this as my every day wallet for about two months. It's been fantastic. It's small and thin enough to serve as a comfortable front-pocket carrier of various items (I even throw a small flash drive in that pouch. It works really well for a nerd like me. It's extremely well made and should last for years.

I had been using a paper-thin Lodis leather wallet for about a decade, and I loved it but could find nothing like it. Additionally, I was not ready to pay $100 again like I did with the Lodis wallet. At any rate, I found this Maxpedition "minimalist" wallet and the design was very close to my beloved Lodis wallet, so I pulled the trigger and bought this. I do not regret it. I have to say I like it, and it may grow on me into a kind of love. It is about twice as thick as I expected, and a bit larger, but it works great, other than being very slick and my ID and credit cards slide out of the pockets a bit. I hope in time this is resolved with repeated washings and pocket wear. It is built bullet-proof tough, though, so I imagine I may get even 20 years out of this one. I mean this sucker is TOUGH!!! (And stiff too.) So for the price, and the quality, I am impressed, and I would even consider buying a larger backpack from this company. The designs are very good, as good or better than pro or military gear.

Never disappointed by this company! Excellent product!

I've been hesitant to make a switch... my old wallet has been falling apart for a long time. I got a similar wallet to it and used it until it fell apart then went back to the first old wallet mentioned. It was ugly and falling apart, but it held all of my things and wasn't too bulky. (I carry a lot in my wallet) I saw a YouTube review of this wallet by someone in the prepping community (sorry I can't remember who you are). It looked like it held a lot. And I know Maxpedition makes quality gear... so I bought it when it was on sale (a tiny bit). I made the switch and I'm absolutely satisfied! It holds 2inches of my crap. It could do with a bit more organization, but I have a cat prescription card that is like two business cards attached to each other so I put most of my stuff in there and it is like a little sleeve that helps me pull stuff out of the main compartment. I keep my business cards in the back pocket for easy access (and occasionally spare cash before I organize it in the inside compartment after buying something). And the 3 inner pockets (with my folding card to hold everything in the big pocket) allow me a good amount of organization. AND it is holding up just fine, thanks to Maxpedition's heavy duty velcro and well made gear ;) I love this wallet. I don't think I'll ever pick a different kind. And I'm sure this will last many more years than my traditional old style wallets! $15 well worth it!

This is a great EDC WALLET

Does exactly what id expect. Great size, holds lots or a few cards. Expandable so you could use it as a mini EDC pouch if you wanted. Velcro is a bit "loud" but meh I can live with that. I might even buy an extra in case they get discontinued or something

Fairly typical Maxpedition quality here. It's well made, seems like it will be durable. However, there are a few design flaws that just make this a no-go. First, the clear area where you place your ID (and other stuff) is too large (i.e. wide). So when you place your ID in it (and I also placed my CCW, auto insurance, VA, AAA, etc. cards), there is simply too much room on both sides of it and your ID/cards just slide around and fall out. This is especially annoying because this is the part that flips, so whether you place it to flip upwards or downwards, at some point in the flip process, those cards are sliding out. Second, the second storage sleeve/panel is too large as well. The front portion snugly holds cards, but the back portion, where you can put cash and additional cards, is just too large. Way too much room for something that is ostensibly supposed to be a minimal wallet. Third, the hook-and-loop/velcro fastener is not designed so that it can be tightly secured. To make it tight, you'd only have about 1/4 inch (at most) of the velcro connected. The rest will be hanging loose. To make it such that the panels are fully making contact, it will leave the wallet "poofed" out and, frankly, not secure, especially with how loose everything else is inside. All in all, a product I wanted to like, which probably seemed good on paper, but which fails when it comes time to actually use it. Skip it. Two stars only because it is durably made.
