Minimalist Aluminum Wallet, Slim Money Clip Metal Wallet RFID Front Pocket Wallet

This wallet is every bit as nice as The Ridge Wallet. I made the mistake of purchasing one of their aluminum wallets which was bent and virtually worthless within a year of light use. I tried to get a replacement from the company to no avail. Unlike Ridge Wallet This company has an excellent product and for the price, if it dies in a year it will still be worth it.

Update, April 2019:Ive had this wallet for 5 months now, and it still looks new. This is the real deal! By now, I'd be buying a new wallet if I was using an old-style one, and it would be full of junk I don't need. This wallet is durable and forces you to keep your junk at a minimum!The elastic has lasted just fine and should last at least a year, providing you don't abuse it. I don't have any money in the elastic in the photos, but I usually have anywhere from 1-5 bills in there and it has lasted just fine.In total, just from me, at least 10 of these have been bought by friends already. A friend of mine is about to order another for his son. He said that after getting this wallet I gave him as a gift, he will never use anormal wallet again.I liked this so much, I bought 4 more as gifts. So far, the two that have received it are happy as hell. Others are even asking me where to get them!I compared it to my buddy's real ridge wallet and here is the scoop...This is almost identical to the ridge wallet.The only differences are:1) The elastic doesn't have the buckle that the new ridge wallets have (most people remove the buckle anyway, to make the wallet smaller).2) The elastic does not have the rubber dots on the inside to help secure your money (however, this seems to hold money just fine).3) The diameter of the head of the screws is slightly smaller, which is the main visual difference comparing side-by-side... Pretty much a non issue, unless you are trying to convince a ridge wallet expert lol.4) The aluminum interior part is shaped slightly differently. To me, this isn't really an issue. Perhaps you can fan your cards out more easily with one or the other, but I did not compare this. I just push the cards out on mine and it works for me. Fanning didn't work so well, but maybe it wouldn't work so well on the RIDGE either. If I try again with my friends real RIDGE, I'll update my review... But so far, I don't care. In fact, I seem to remember him saying he didn't fan the cards out anyway.Other than that, these wallets seem to work and function the same. As far as durability, only time will really tell, but it seems durable enough to me. If it breaks, which I don't expect to happen anytime soon, by then I might be into something else or I can just buy a brand new one at around $20. Whatever the case, I'm pretty sure it will outlast my other $30 POS wallet and I really like this thing!No, you won't be accumulating receipts or business cards in this wallet.. But that's a good thing right? My leather front pocket wallet was pretty small too, but because I could jam it with business cards and receipts, it ended up getting almost just as fat as normal wallet and busted at the seams. I had to replace that $30 thing every 4 months or be content being be raggedy. It was embarrassing tbh.As far as capacity, I have 2 debit cards, a flat health insurance card, a flat credit card, and a DL in it. Some people report the wallet being crooked or whatever, but this probably happens no matter what brand of this style wallet you get, if you have several cards with raised lettering. I only have two cards with raised lettering, so I flip them over in such a way so they fit together and it keeps my wallet nice and flat. If I don't, it's not much of an issue though.. It may jut be an issue if you have several cards that have raised lettering and just out them in randomly. Personally, this doesn't affect me though. Whatever the case, I'm not putting cards in that I don't need.One review mentioned that they though this may have been made in the same factory as the original. The truth is... It's almost that close... Honestly, the differences are nothing to be up in arms about. This isn't just a cheap imitation. It looks 95% the same (without the buckle), but I also wouldn't say it's 5% inferior in any way that I can tell. Without a direct comparison, you'd never realize it was different except for the missing RIDGE logo and if you were keen enough to remember any of the micro differences. For all intensive purposes, it's basically identical.As far as the screw problems others have reported, I haven't had any issues.. But I've only used the wallet for a a couple weeks. Whatever the case, the manufacturer said that the screws were updated to address the issue, making the negative reviews regarding the screws a moot point.As far as sharp edges in another review, I haven't noticed any with two that I tested (the other 3 that I bought are still either being shipped or have been shipped directly to who I bought them for). This has either been fixed or wasn't an issue to begin with. If anyone I have it to complains, I will update my review.If you are considering this or other wallets, put your mind at ease and get this. At only $20, it's a no-brainer. The RIDGE is about $115 which is a steep price to pay for something you might may or may not like... I'd only go ridge if you really want the burnt titanium and money to burn. The burnt titanium surface has been reported to scratch though, so depending on how finicky you are about stuff like that, your purchase could only be satisfying until you get a scratch... Some others might like "character."If you really need a real RIDGE, go ahead, but to be totally direct and honest with you, you'd be a fool to spend 5-6x on virtually the same thing.Anyhow, I've said my piece. I did spend unpaid time writing it that I will never get back, but I love it when people turn me on to little gems on the net and wanted to pass this on. I'm just ecstatic with my purchase.If I have anything negative to report, I will certainly update my review. If you haven't heard from me, consider the time that has passed since this review as a continual thumbs up.This concludes my real, non-paid, Bad A. Rock Master God Of Ninja Soul review as of Dec 26th, 2018.

This is an exact copy of a Ridge wallet (probably from the same factory in a China that makes the Ridge). It is the same quality as the Ridge and there is absolutely no reason to spend $115 on the Ridge Carbon Fiber version When this is the same wallet. I’ve used it for awhile and it is great for minimizing your carry. Using the elastic cash strap is kind of a pain because you have to get all of your cash out to find what you need. If you are interest going minimal and buying a Ridge, buy this instead and put the extra $100 in the cash strap!

I like it I have had it for a little while now. The one problem I have is its coming apart. I have had three of the screws that hold it together fall out. I didn't notice it till it was to late. I have tightened the rest up. I wish I had save the stuff so I could see if they could send me more screws to put i together. I would tell you to get an allen wrench tighten down the screws and keep doing it

Just got the wallet today! I opted for the elastic money band because i was never a fan of the clips. First thoughts unboxing it... WOW! Looks great! Qualitys great! Price was great! Only time will tell how well it holds up! Very pleased with everything! Currently have 9 cards in and its half the size of my old aluminum wallet! If i should have to buy a new one in the future... i know what im getting!

Excellent quality on par with Ridge, but at a much lower price. It was a bit tight at first and difficult to operate with more than five cards, but it broke in quickly and now functions well with 10 cards. Fan function works best with fewer than 8 cards. RFID seems to work well since I have to remove my one RFID card from the wallet to get it to work on my office door scanner. The wallet has a good, solid feel, but does not feel too bulky or heavy in the pocket. Fits in the change pocket of my jeans. Came with a screwdriver and a bag of spare screws. This is my second carbon fiber minimalist wallet after buying a Fidelo, and I like how this design has a more refined, professional appearance. Very clean and sleek. This particular style is like a fidget spinner in that it is fun to manipulate and toy with. All minimalist wallets seem to have quirky functions and a learning curve, and this one takes some practice to learn ideal techniques to operate it quickly and efficiently. After a little practice, I'm very happy with the design and function of this model, and will no longer be longing for a Ridge, Trayvax or other higher priced model.

This is a great wallet that is similar to the Ridge wallet. I will say that the Wallet works best with less cards, but I usually keep 7-9 card in this wallet and works great as designed. Simple to use and the fanning of cards works best when you have 7-8 cards in the wallet. Money band works great and can hold quite a few folded bills well. I tested with 20 bills recently. and held tight. Overall not a bad wallet and much more affordable than the Ridge wallet.
