I bought mine in 2015. No problems at all besides the elastic card holder that loosened a bit after 7-8years. Since I bought mine before they provided lifetime warranty and my elastic bands are different when they first started making them, they honored my purschase and offered to send me a new wallet for free! Awesome company.

But with loctite on the screws it would make it near impossible to remove them. When you wear out the strap or deicide to attach an accessory like a money clip, you will need to remove screws to do those tasks.

I live in a country where the paper bills are smaller than the US, so I dont know if this would help or not but I noticed when you were talking about cash not falling off from the money strap the bills actually wiggle left and right, but I'd recommend trying to fold the bills into smaller pieces so that the width of the cash are not wider than the body of the wallet itself

I have had mine for a year or so, maybe a bit less. I really like it, the size is unbeatable. Getting cards out of it can be a pain though, particularly the cards in the middle of the stack. I have to push all of the cards out in some cases to get to the middle cards, which is a pain to deal with and putting the cards back is also a pain if you are in line some where checking out.

I’ve had cards stick a bit. It’s something you get used too. The band is tight enough that the friction on the cards especially with the numbers does have them stay together. But you get used to fanning them out with your finger

@khoale4755 2 года назад

Im thinking of getting one of these wallets but there's a couple of things I don't like bout it, if you wanna take the middle note out you have to take the whole cash out. And same with the cards, if you want the middle card you have to take out all the cards. I guess you could take only the middle card if you try and push the middle card up then take it out but too much hassle. I'm undecided atm.

For those who fear the screws coming out. Put some red threadlocker on the threads of the screws (dont need much) And screw back in. They will stay in through vibrations and normal use. Yet you can still remove them with a little extra effort. And I would buy 2 extra cash straps to have on hand just in case they stop making them. The carbon fiber covers are naturally extremely scratch resistant from my experience. I work in construction so aluminum isn't my gig. I'm certain it would get dinged and bent. The titanium would be even more resistant but as an Electrician I shy away from metals in general for obvious reasons. So thats why I went with the Carbon Fiber one.

About the paint: Aluminum does not hold on to paint well. I have tent spikes made of aluminum and the paint wears off of those just from rubbing into the dirt. I would be interested in seeing how their titanium wallets hold their paint, better or the same.

That's a really good point. I will look into that!

Does the black interior rub off on your cards? My cards are covered in black paint from the inside of the wallet

@GearRules Год назад

That is very bizarre. I did have my cards wear a bit over time, but never did I have black paint rub off on it. I would reach out to their warranty team.

@conceptdesigns4100 3 года назад

In the last wallet I had, I had a huge issue with the wear on the cards and wearing off the numbers and warping the cards to the point at which they wouldn't work. Does this wallet wear on the cards like that???

@GearRules 3 года назад

Sorry for the late response, just now seeing this. Mine does appear to scrap the front end of cards off, so I put a less important card in the front.

@@behindthen0thing so it's a bad wallet then?

@MrPerryBall 3 года назад

@@SouthBayLA1310 cards will wear out in most wallets, especially when they are stacked together. That problem is eliminated because cards do expire and issue new replacement cards. If a card wears prematurely, they will get replaced at the consumer’s request. The ridge wallet does not wear cards out any quicker than any other wallet.

Really loved using this wallet. I don't personally use a wallet in my back pocket, not sure this would be the one for you. However, I am currently reviewing a wallets (video coming out soon) from Airo Collective and Wayfinder Carry. They are so thin, I imagine it would be perfect for that.

Sitting on your wallet is bad for your posture. Carry it in your front pocket. This thing is perfect for that. But accessing credit cards sucks.
