      Most people mostly use 1 to 3 cards on a daily basis with the rest just being there. And 3 are easily accessible in the case of a Ridge or a similar design. With experience it gets easier. I certainly wouldn't see that as a reason not to get a ridge or a similar wallet.

    i totally love the XSTO! I have it for more than a year now and it's definitely the last wallet you'll ever need. It's built to last a lifetime as it's 100% metal. But with that, comes the downside that it eats out the sides of your cards and can tear through your jeans if you use it in your back pocket. So I just changed the way i carry it.

    • @Dabby724

      I've had it for over a year and initially it was a fantastic wallet but I access my cards quite often and the sides of my cards are seriously damaged. I've had to replace my cards once already and within a couple of more months I'm going to have to replace them again. So unfortunately for me I am on the search for another minimalist wallet. I really wished this wasn't the case because other than this issue, I love this wallet.

    I'm on a market for a new wallet. Thinking about the Contour but I want something easier to fan out the cards and it seems as if the button would take sometime to take out the cards at the counter..but I might still grab it!?
    Now, I've had the Aviator wallet obsidan slim, I loved it so much the ONLY problem is that after 8 months of usage the front plates become a little loose and it never felt secure, maybe because I was over stuffing my wallet with cards...
    From this list you've showed my fav one was the GeoGrit. I just love how beautiful it looks with those screws and the way the cards fan out. I just wish like they had more designs like the Ridge. It's a new company so will see.
    Cappla was OK to me but that elastic band makes the wallet look cheap.

      ​@@BeastMadeReviewsto be fair, you make a % of the sale w/ an affiliate link. I mean do you, but this is not a good argument lol.
      DM pays like 13%, right? 13% of $170($22.10) is a lot more than the 8% of $70($5.60) that Ridge pays. Ridge has wayy more affiliates meaning people are a lot less likely to click your link if you're "pro ridge". Let's say you make 20% on $15 ($3). You'd have to get 7+ more people to use your link. And we all know these $15 wallets aren't paying 20% lol- maybe 3%($0.45 or like 200 wallets to make the same money on one sale.. I mean you could be 100% honest, but just bc other wallets have affiliate links doesn't mean you're not making substantially more by hand-picking them. (;

    I had just received my Ridge, and I was looking for a tutorial on its use. What I found were videos showing that not only is the Ridge minimalist wallet the only one of its kind, but there is a whole market of minimalist wallets made by several other companies too! 😲
    Anyway, I see how disappointing it is that the Ridge uses a little thumb slot to push the cards out with (you actually have to use a thumb nail to push out a specific card) when they should have made a wider slot in the center or by the side to push them out instead.
    The money clip for the Ridge looks like a neat accessory to hold cash (folded bills only) but it is not fair that it has to be ordered separately.
    My only gripes are with the little slot and having to buy the money clip separately later (imagine how silly receiving a little thing like that in the mail would be).
    I took pride though in purchasing it, because there is a The Ridge company located here in Canada, so the product was delivered pretty quick (in about 2 - 3 days). 😄

    XSTO all the way! Been using it for 6 years. Just luv it! The last wallet you'll ever need. Read some comments about card edges being eaten up. Just keep the one or two cards you use the most at the front. You may have to slide them out but you can reinsert them by placing one end in wallet and then slightly bending the card while you insert the other end. Been doing this for 6 years and haven't had any problems with the card or its edges.

    seeing the Axwell confirmed for me the request that I've made of Ridge for years now... allow me to buy the panels separately so that I can change my wallet as I see fit. It's not as easy as the magnet setup on the Axwell, but I prefer the screws. I actually have the ridge coin slot, bottle opener, and airtag holder where I had the strap before. And I use the money clip for my military ID instead of cash.

    I would go for the Akeeni, because all of these other wallets are the same. My biggest gripe would be the elastic. You put too much for too long, then you have no more elasticity. Count your cards, then get the Akeeni.

    You missed the best alternative to ridge, I have a stealth wallet, which has a metal ridge like container for cards but is wrapped in crazy horse leather (what they use for horse saddles) so you have a pouch for notes, an extra card slot and a coin pouch but the wallet is still really slim and pocketable. Doesn't get in the way at all.

    Hold on to your first edition Ridges! Great options that are not ridge, but hate to say it, Ridge in the wallet world might turn into rolex form the watch world. The Nike Jordans of shoes, you get what I mean. I had mine since jan 2018, yes screws came out over the years but i banged it up so much and dropped it so many times it took forever to notice the screws were gone.

    I don't like any of them because they're all based on sliding cards past each other, which is a problem somewhat compounded by embossed cards.

    I have an Aviator and, whilst it looks cool and the cards are easy to access, it's terrible for cash. Putting it under the clip is fiddly and using it is a pain. The coin tray is too shallow for £1 and £2 coins and rattles annoyingly, even though it's lined with felt. Very cool for cards only, beautifully built but no good for cash and very fiddly to adjust.

    These wallets seem like a great idea since I won't have to sit on a wallet any longer. But I also hate wearing shorts in the summer and having a bunch of stuff in my front pockets. It looks so bulky and ugly. I wish they can combine these wallets with a keyholder as one flat item in your front pocket, like the size of a phone. Otherwise, you have a wallet and your keys that stack on top of each other for a bulky front pocket.

    You can carry 12 cards ok. You want the one in the middle, what do you do ? Pull out everything then pick that one?
    Separate cards compartment seems much more practical.
    Also non CC sized cards, what do you do ? Run around without your health insurance card cuz it doesn't fit ? Car insurance ? Registration ? Leave that in the car for car thieves convenience ?

    Oh yeah on the price of the decadent minimalist...in titanium you'll have that wallet till you lose it or its stolen versus hiw long for the elastic band on any of these others. I recommend the extra money for the titanium version as the materials both light and EXTREMELY strong so damaging it a very hard proposition...the aluminum can flex and distort if squished to hard in a weird way. Only thing ill give these over it is the rfid blocking, which is something you have to add "cards" to it to do the same thing. The old addage, buy once-cry once..plus it can be custom laser etched if bought from the main website versus amazon
