As a cashier I’d have to say I’ve seen customers try to get cards out of their ridge type wallet they have to pull half their cards out to get to the one they want to use and then put them back in the order they had them in kind of inconvenient if you ask me
@@CalebBaleFinanceI found using them does damage to the cards both taking them out and putting them back in. I think the pop out wallets or the leather ones you showed are the best minimalist wallets
After losing my makeshift coin pouch, I found the Chums License Holder, also known as the Surfshort wallet, in the sporting goods section at Walmart for around $10. This minimalist pouch features two zipper openings on opposite sides. One side has a clear TPU window with a divider to separate an ID from cards and cash. The back side includes a key loop and an external pocket, with the zipper opening providing space for extra cards or cash. I quickly replaced my Ridge-inspired wallet with it. I use the single empty compartment for coins and the key loop for my AirTag. On the front side with the ID window, I store my driver’s license, cash, cards, and necessary medical and insurance information due to its ample space. I absolutely love it. Most minimalist wallets lack a pouch for coins, which I still need since I frequently use cash and receive change.
Man here - I love having the name brand versions of stuff but a lot of the times will tell myself "I don't need it". I'll end up settling for the cheaper option I don't really want. If it's a gift then yeah, I'm going to use it and never have buyers remorse. Long story short: You did the correct thing either way. I'm sure he's happy he has the real deal. 😎👍
Great video! Well done! I won't buy a wallet if it DOESN'T have RFID protection. I live near a well populated city and their are a TON of scammers skimming your card info. Be careful out there!
All cards delaminate after three or 4 years no matter what wallet you use a few months ago I switched to a hard wallet in order to avoid the other problem with cards where they can be bent and twisted if you sit on them while in a soft wallet in your back pocket
That's actually the first card I've ever had delaminate but I definitely get what you're saying about the differences in wallets and how they'll affect the condition of the card. Thanks for the input, Alec!
Muradin updated 2:29 this wallet and the newer version (also on Amazon) has a better design to easily access cards without having to pull out ALL cards to make a selection.
I've used the Buffway for the last two years. SUPER solid wallet, my literal ONLY gripe and reason for changing it out was because it bent my cards whenever I had anything in the center fold, and I'm more concerned about the chips bending outward than I am about them delaminating. Gonna keep it around as a fall back, I'm actually waiting on the Fidelo to arrive tomorrow lol.
Haha, yeah, I respond to literally every comment. Sometimes I don't get to them for a while as seen by some of the recent comments. But I try to update information when I hear about it too!
My concern is i have a trifold with 9 card slots, a flap with clear on both sides (so 11 slots really) and while these can hild that amount it seems annoying to have to pull all of the cards out and shuffle through them instead of just unfolding a traditional wallet.
That's totally a fair assessment. I think it's more a question of how minimalistic you want. More minimalistic means less material in the wallet so you're either holding less or holding the same amount but may be a little harder to get the cards. Personally I love the Code 118 wallet that I use all the time. Nice and minimalistic and easy to get cards
Sorry it took so long to respond! Yeah all of them can hold a small amount of cash! Most of them are really intended to keep from having too much cash, I think.
