I have been using this wallet for 6 years and love it. It’s been rained on, run over, left out for days (lost) in backyard. A little leather conditioner and it’s new again. Zipper is great.

@TripAstute 4 года назад

It still my favorite as well! 😊

@anrn5303 4 года назад

@@TripAstute this wallet is too awesome; definitely more slim/streamlined than my other gusseted card cases, mainly tumi, and one lancaster; I had to check my front pant pocket to see if my wallet is actually there; that's how small the form factor is... before this wallet my most recent purchase was a bottega veneta card case; cut a long story short the Bottega Veneta North American client service associate suggested to me that I should carry their wallet in a bag instead of pant pocket because how the leather could be easily scraped, damaged.

@jameshallfishing3377 4 года назад

I got mine for Christmas. I absolutely love it. I was using a vaultskin. The smaller design is what caught my eye. Had the vaultskin for a year before the zipper pull broke just in time then got the bellroy card pocket as a gift for Christmas.

Thank you for another great video.! I've got to get me one of those.! The size and quality is exactly what I'm looking for in a card holder..by the way whenever you do videos where you give us a glimpse of the cards that you have I always try to figure out which ones that they are because your choice of cards seem to be the best.! At least for your needs.! Lol.! If you haven't already can you do a video on which cards that you currently carry and why you choose them.? I'm always interested to know.! Keep the great videos coming.!

@TripAstute 6 лет назад

Thanks Marcus! I actually did a "what's in my wallet" video at the end of last year, and sadly, it hasn't changed at all since then. I'll probably do another one at the end of the year, but if you're curious, here's a link to the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O5xAP4hESV8.html

@autumnmatthews3179 5 лет назад

I have tried a number of minimalist wallets and none of them did everything I want. If you pay with a note you’re going to get coins as change, especially in the UK. Manufacturers seem to ignore that little fact. I got the card pocket about a month ago and I can’t see me using anything else now. I don’t have a huge amount of notes or coins but what I do have is safe and easy to access. I’ve got around a dozen cards and like you it goes in the front pocket of my jeans and I don’t know it’s there. I’d definitely recommend it

@TripAstute 5 лет назад

Nice review. I just bought a new wallet and wish I would have seen this review first. Can you also do a review on you pocket utility tool attached to your keys? Thanks

@TripAstute 6 лет назад

Sure! I can definitely add it to the pipeline. It's the Leatherman Style PS -- basically a keychain-sized Leatherman tool that doesn't contain a knife, so it's supposedly safe for air travel. I say "supposedly" since I've heard a lot of people still getting them confiscated at the airport. 😄

@TheGrony 5 лет назад

Nice video! That's my future wallet. This is only wallet I've found that has side pockets inside wallet to put cards there (in case of going outside let's say at Friday night very useful to don't mix cash and cards)... And also tiny with big space for coins which are in Europe still really needed.

@TripAstute 5 лет назад

Thanks! It's definitely a great wallet. Though you may want to check out the Nodus Compact Coin wallet too -- it's very similar in design, but it has external pockets and a pocket for coins inside. Here's our review: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qH0AoA4SjNM.html

I use wallet as it's supposed to be used - High pouch for coins, cards in the middle and smaller pouch for bills and I can say that this design is genial! I can highly recommend this wallet for people who still needs to carry also some bills and coins... Thanks for your review! 😉

I have the old discontinued bellroy very protective wallet which is just like this card wallet and I love it. Which one do you like better this one or the nodus coin wallet you reviewed awhile back?

@TripAstute 4 года назад

I like both. It's hard to say which is a better wallet since they are so similar. I do like the extra features of the Nodus. I was thinking of transitioning over to it as soon as Bellroy Card Pocket is worn out, but it still seems to be wearing well (even after four years).

@kevinonthank 5 лет назад

The wallet I use is made by Secrid which is RFID protected. However I carry minimal cash so it’s great for me. But! Sometimes you just want something a little different. I may check out the belroy just to have a different style.

@TripAstute 5 лет назад

I'll have to check out Secrid! I haven't heard of them, but I'm always looking for new wallets that might be a good fit for travelers and credit card points collectors. Thanks for the tip! 👍

@hugasan 6 лет назад

I have the RFID burnt orange travel wallet. Used it now for about 3 or 4 trips. While it’s nice quality, and I like the concept, it hasn’t been very practical. You have to almost completely unfold the wallet to take out your passport and it’s a big wallet. It attacts a lot of attention (which you don’t want while traveling). Open it measures almost 12in (300mm). Also it get’s very bulky when carrying multiple currencies. You can sometimes organize currency end to end like the Euro but it becomes difficult with US dollars since the dollar is almost 3mm longer than the wallet while folded.

@TripAstute 6 лет назад

Yeah, the Travel Wallet is a bit too bulky for me too. I much prefer the compact size of the Card Pocket wallet. 😊

@sh3lieMa3 5 лет назад

If you put a card with RFID capabilities all the way in the back, will it be able to be read if you were to tap the back of the wallet on the terminal? For example if you use the card for the metro, bus, or key card?

@TripAstute 5 лет назад

In theory, it should work. I tried a few times with my metro pass, but it seemed to be inconsistent and dependent on the reader.

@acbc3543 6 лет назад

I have an all condition bellroy in orange and inside of it I carry a smaller Tory Burch wallet . Why do I have a Bellroy in orange ? It’s Texas color and it’s also bulky and shiny where I can spot it in my Will leather messenger bag... I lose stuff easily but I also have a Tile tracker .... Bellroy has good quality . Otherwise my boyfriend and I wouldn’t have gotten it .

@TripAstute 6 лет назад

That makes sense! The orange color definitely helps with locating it. I haven't had a chance to see the All-Conditions in-person, but it looks really cool. It seems like a great wallet too when outdoors or visiting humid places. 😎

@sidkings 4 года назад

Now that we have the likes of Curve Card, do we need to carry all these cards? I would say at most 4-5...

It's a valid point. Even with mobile payments becoming more popular, I find myself reaching for my physical wallet a lot less than before. 👍

@jonmnelson 4 года назад

Nice review of a very good looking wallet. How would you say this compares to the Waterfield Finn wallet? They look very similar and cost the same. Thanks!

@TripAstute 4 года назад

Thanks! I honestly like both wallets. The Bellroy is more compact, which I like. The WaterField is overall a better quality wallet. The leather and zippers are much better. The leather is thicker, and the wallet accommodates bi-folded cash, which can also be a deciding factor. If I was looking to purchase a new wallet, I would probably lean toward the WaterField Finn Access Wallet. Though I have two Bellroy Card Pocket wallets, so I'll probably use them as long as they last (which has been already 3+ years). 😊

@jonmnelson 4 года назад

Trip Astute Thank you!

@natanz098 5 лет назад

feels like THE wallet for me.. why did you choose this wallet over the other once you mentioned in the video? I really don't know if its worth the extra money, if you would order a new wallet from Bellroy which one would you choose?

@TripAstute 5 лет назад

Do you mean the Humn wallet? I found it to be a bit too rigid and hard, which meant that it tended to wear out my pockets and show through the fabric in my front pocket. I've also used a Mitchell Money Clip Wallet. I really like the wallet, but it's a better cash wallet, and since I carry a lot of credit cards, I found that the leather pockets would stretch. I still think that the Card Pocket is my favorite wallet in Bellroy's collection (in terms of value). I also like the All-Conditions Wallet, but I prefer the Card Pocket since it seems a bit smaller and more classy (i.e., less sporty). Hope that's helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions. 😊

@lorenzweinstein6325 5 лет назад

I have mine in blue. The more I use it, the more it shows the quality of the leather. I would love to have their bags too! And btw what’s the backpack that you showed and used as a suggestion for the zipper?

@TripAstute 5 лет назад

Very cool! I love the blue color too. It's very unique! The bag I was showing is the WaterField Staad backpack. It's not my go-to bag for travel, but I've used it for years as my work/professional backpack, and absolutely love it. 😊

@lorenzweinstein6325 5 лет назад

Coool! Thanks man!

@charliemolie 6 лет назад

Hi Ernest, it seems like the blue color you have is not longer available, only black and caramel.

@TripAstute 6 лет назад

Yeah, I think that must be a fairly recent change. A friend of mine got the blue one a few months ago, so it's sad to see the color removed from the lineup. 😕

@MadeOfPaperAndString 2 года назад

@pvasa20 2 года назад

Just got it . One suggestion. More room for currency bills and fewer credit cards needed.

@TripAstute 2 года назад

Good suggestion. It's definitely not optimized for cash carry (other than a few bills). 👍

@TonyMilanoOfficial 6 лет назад

@TripAstute 6 лет назад

Ha! Yes, I don't know why I waited so long. I think one of my early videos was on how to carry cash, and I showed the wallet in part of the video. It wasn't a full gear review, and truthfully, it's cringy to watch since it was one of my first videos. 😄

@bartvanpeer5117 6 лет назад

I’m doubting between the card pocket and the All condition pocket. It’s because of the zipper. But I find the All condition to thick. What I miss is the individual compartment for the key as they’ve used it in earlier wallet. Witch do do you prefer? And do you have an idea if bellroy is making a New one?

@TripAstute 6 лет назад

I haven't heard of any new wallets on the horizon. I personally prefer the simplicity and size of the Card Pocket wallet, but the All-Conditions does seem to be more durable. That being said, I've had my Card Pocket for over three years and had no issues with it. I wish that Bellroy would release a version of the Card Pocket with upgraded zippers though! That would be my ultimate wallet. 😊

@bartvanpeer5117 6 лет назад

Trip Astute I've that same preference 😋. And that with the individual storage for the key. Maybe I need to make a New wallet 😂

@bartvanpeer5117 6 лет назад

@TripAstute 6 лет назад

Yeah, I've always felt like RFID protection is overhyped, at least in the US. We don't use contactless cards, but I know they are popular in other parts of the world!

@bartvanpeer5117 6 лет назад

Trip Astute bought one. AND I LOVE IT !!! feels very small and compact.

@emilianoibarra3537 5 лет назад

@@TripAstute Do you think the tan is supposed to patina similarly to the caramel?

@kennethlow6619 2 года назад

A ‘card holder’ wallet is bound to mess up the cards you put inside, simple because there’s no holder to secure it in place. As the wallet shakes in your pocket or even when you’re taking it out, cards graze against one another and leave scratch marks. Personally, I don’t think it’s a big issue because my cards work fine even after 3 years, however, they do look beaten and abused. It’s worse if you store coins inside as well. Not recommended for fussy people or people with general OCD

@TripAstute 2 года назад

That's a good point! I've not had any issues with my cards not working, but they definitely do get scratched up in the wallet. Though it's more like stonewashed scratches. 😉

@WilmarToro 10 месяцев назад

Why this happens? I mean... the cards are inside with no much room?... I liked this design so much, but I am a bit fussy person...

@kennethlow6619 10 месяцев назад

@@WilmarToro When you remove the cards from the wallet, they will rub against other cards and whatever you have in the wallet. Very small particles like sand and dirt are always in the wallet (more so for wallet which are zip sealed) so after awhile you can expect some scratches on the cards. Compared to normal wallet, each card is separated from one another and there is space between them so no issues. Hope this helps

@MrLittledirector Год назад

Do you still use this wallet today? How is it holding up?

@TripAstute Год назад

To be honest, I'm not using it as much as before. Though mostly because I've slimmed down what I carry to just a few cards. I still have the wallet in my car, and it seems to be holding up well. No tears or zipper failures so far! 👍
