As an owner of a Mini Wallet, I can confidently say the metal part of mine carries 6 cards (2 embossed, 4 flush) cards and the leather part can definitely hold 4, maybe more cards. A trick I found for the metal part when carrying embossed cards is to alternate the sides the numbers are on so they take up less space overall.
Love SECRID wallets! I bought my first SRCRID wallet 4 years ago, that was Miniwallet model. It served me great, but unfortunately, I found one problem. During heavy rain, my wallet was in pant's pocket and inside was also couple bills, and it got wet and also my money got wet. That was first time. So, in this summer I got myself a SECRID Cardslide model. I'm super happy with it. The slide compartment is great, every thing is closed and safe, and rubber band is still strong since the day one.
So glad you’re enjoying the cardslide! It’s definitely a well made and crafted edc. Not for everyone, but so good you found the perfect use for it, as like you said not a big of a concern for water coming in as the cardslide is sealed. Appreciate you taking the time to comment and share brother!! Be safe and well out there.
Been hestitating for over a year but you convinced me to get the secrid mini wallet. Went to the official secrid store here in Holland and got the premium leather cognac. Tip: get the additional coin pocket, its worth it for only €10 and protects the leather from coin marks
Ever since I discovered it, I've been using the slim wallet. Protects the cards I care about plus holds cash for the rare occasions I use it. Also, holds my membership cards and transit card in the outside pockets. It's a beautiful and useful wallet.
Hey Christopher ! Appreciate you sharing and leaving a comment. That’s exactly why I use the mini, just the versatility to hold whatever I need if I need to. Not to mention all in one really compact size. To this day. Still my favourite wallet for EDC. Be safe and well out there brother!
Thanks for the review. I bought a Twinwallet at an affiliate Secrid store near work today. The owner herself owned a Slimwallet so I got to ask her about her experiences with it. She's owned it for 3 years and she has nothing but glowing recommendations for it. I got to check out the various other colours and styles too. And to top it off, she took $5 off so that was a nice surprise. I got the Matte Black.
I found the mini at a thrift store yesterday for $1.00. I had a card comprised recently, not sure exactly how it happened but I'm going to keep my cards in this from now on! Maybe it's a man's wallet but I'm going to use it, I love it! I like the snap, I think it needs that for extra security.
I have the Secrid mini wallet for 7+ years now and can confirm it will last that long. I'll recommend the mini wallet too, because the button keeps everything together. After 7 years I still play with it like a fidget spinner and it never came loose. Great and instant buy!
Really excellent review of the Secrid wallets, Josh. I have the Twinwallet which holds every thing I could ever hope to carry, and is definitely in my EDC rotation. Current favorite is the XSTO, but that seems to change from week to week. LOL.
Oh do I identify with that lol. I tend to switch up my wallet line up as well every couple weeks it seems ha. And we literally have the exact taste as Secrid and the Akeeni XSTO are some of my most used wallets. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching. Very much appreciated Mike! Be safe and well out there
As a owner of the card slide, I can confirm his worry. After about 2 years, the band does become too loose and you would need to replace it. $15 every 2 years though, isn't a bad deal and the wallet is great
Seconded. I don't have a Secrid, I have a Sapling, but it has the same issue. Eventually I just ended up using a hairband 💀. 100% would not recommend using any wallet with a band.
I have a leather wallet and use a hairband on it to keep it from opening accidently. They tend to become loose after some time. I've never thought how often that happens as I always have a replacement so when I change secrid I'll probably order an extra band so that I can quickly replace it when the time comes lol
Great review of this lineup. Ill go grab the mini now. Thanks for teating all the compartments as i would have wanted them to be tested before grabbing one..
Much appreciated my man! Thank you for stopping by and taking a moment to leave a comment. The Secrid blows the flip out of the water, you made a good choice ha.
I got my mini in 2017 on Lufthansa inflight duty free on a trip to Europe. Fell in love with it right away. Holds 6 cards in the card holder, my DL and LTC on an inside pocket, 4 other cards that include insurance and membership cards and about 10 bills in the cash holder. Snap works as well as it did day 1. Leather has softened up nicely. Haven't seen anything else I would replace it with yet. I think they could tweak the design a bit to hold more cash and still be thinner than the double. When traveling accumulation of Euros or even Greenbacks at home can make it hard to close. Have considered a money clip for that situation.
Awesome video thank you very much Appreciated for taking the time to make this video I just subscribed to your channel I ordered the Secrid mini Dutch Martin in night blue can't wait until it arrives
Thank you so much for the support Andreas !! Really glad the video added some value and helped you out (: I think you made an awesome choice, truly a well made and great wallet. Be safe and well out there brother!
My pleasure brother! So glad the video was helpful. I hope you figured Out. which one to settle on (: Appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to comment !
Thanks to your positive comments on the Secrid Miniwallet, I plan to purchase one (my bday is coming up in 3 weeks) to replace an old/fat tri-fold wallet. Since my favorite color is green, I'd like to get the same color and leather style you often show in your videos - I haven't been able to identify it from the Secrid web site. Could you tell me the exact color, leather and finish on your wallet... it looks to be holding up great. Thanks!
Hey there my friend, I believe this is the one here - amzn.to/3OA8YSY It looks like Secrid may have changed colors a bit on their new lineups. It should be the "original green" colorway on their website - but the one on amazon matches mine most if not exactly. Either way take a look around for the "Original Green", that's the one you're looking for (:
In my brand new wallet, I'm easily able to get 6 CC in the pop-up... only 1 CC is embossed - and everything works fine. I also keep 2 and 3 membership cards in the leather slots... allowing me to store 11 cards in total in the wallet, along with a couple bills. I usually care a money clip so the bills carried in the wallet are just as a backup. I like being able to carry this in my front pants pocket and hardly know it's there. Thanks for the review... think I made a solid purchase!
I use the one without the clasps along with a money band. Inside I keep the cards I rarely touch and a few hundreds. I'll keep some spending cash in the band on the outside. Works great for me.
They are really awesome cardholders. Glad to hear you are getting some good use and enjoying yours (: Thanks for dropping in and taking a moment of time share!
Hey there Steve! Thanks for coming through and taking some time to share and comment. I agree, the card slide for me was shockingly lacklustre. Especially for Secrid. But the rest are the way to go for sure. Hopefully the video was helpful for you in your journey. Be safe and well out there!
I bought the band wallet. Instead of leather, it uses TPU material as well as a stretch band to keep it closed. I really like the TPU feel. Gives it a modern feel to well a modern minimalist wallet. Have you looked into it?
I have the mini. Just bought it in a store in Cork, Ireland. It works well but I noticed that with a mix of flat and embossed cards in the sleeve, some of the cards do not come out all the way and I have to remove multiple cards to get the one I want. I still need to experiment with the cards and their order of precedence within the sleeve to get the perfect fit.
Thanks for this very thorough review! I'm eyeing on the Mini Wallet now although I have a small concern. Would you know if a metal card would cause any issues if put on the aluminum case? I'm thinking it could get scratch marks if put on the first or last slot since it would constantly get in contact with the surface of the case. Also since it is a lot heavier than plastic cards won't it come off easily when the wallet is upside down? Hope to hear your thoughts regarding this!
Very thorough reviews, thank you very much! I'm pretty sure I'm getting my dad one of these for his birthday and was having a hard time deciding, especially because the differences didn't seem that big besides the capacity. Now I just have to decide about if I'm getting him just the card holder or the mini wallet. He typically carries cash so I'm leaning towards the mini wallet, but he likes to carry a lot of cash sometimes so I wasn't sure how much would fit. I'm thinking the miniwallet just because it will have additional space for extra cards or receipts. Although maybe he would like the sleekness of the slimwallet without the button. Hard decisions... I'll have to ask my mom and siblings to help me decide.
So glad you found the video helpful Lei! There definitely is a lot to choose from which can make it a bit overwhelming. But the ones you mentioned are all awesome choices. And I'm sure with your siblings and moms help you will be able to find the perfect one for him. It will last him a very long time so it will be a great gift. Thanks for stopping by and sharing (:
6:52 I actually think you should try to put more cards in if that happens. Mine tend to get stuck now and again when I only have a few cards but never when it's full :)
Mine came in the mail recently and overall happy, expect mine the glue holding the plastic to the metal was held together/applied poorly and felt extremely loose, especially putting cards it it popped up, so I applied more supeglue to the entire under part and now it’s made a world of difference, much more solid and durable
After owning the mini wallet for 7 years, using it on an average 5 times a day, it’s time for a replacement because it doesn’t hold the cards snag anymore so it comes to lose even in the pocket, and sometimes it Unbuckles. I think I’m going to get a Sameone because I enjoyed it that much.
I’ve been using a knockoff Twinwallet for a couple of years now. I originally bought it because I liked the concept of the SecrID wallets but didn’t want to spend so much money on something that I wasn’t sure I’d like. I ended up really liking it, but it’s a bit too thick and I don’t need that many cards. So, now I want to buy the original and I’m deciding between the Slimwallet and Miniwallet … and it’s actually really difficult! I want it to be as slim as possible, so I guess I’ll take the Slimwallet. But the lack of a magnet is annoying, especially at that price point! I’m guessing they didn’t put a magnet in because some cards (especially older hotel key cards) have a magnet strip that could demagnetize?
Thank you for taking a moment to share Willi! I’m not sure why they didn’t make it magnetized, I feel the aluminum case would protect the cards from being demagnetized. Though honestly, I have grown to like the button clasp, it’s a little bit more secure to keep things closed. Hope you were able to make a decision and find the perfect Secrid wallet for yourself. Be safe and well out there man !
How is the leather attached to the card holder on mini wallet? Do I need to be worried about it coming apart? Not sure if anyone will see this now a year late but figured I’d ask anyway thank you so much
@@Joshua88Graham thank you so much for the quick reply. That was really my only remaining concern after watching and I look forward to getting one and using it for many years. Thank you again!!
@@herometzler681 My pleasure my friend! Just remember it comes with a 2 year warranty - and if you email secrid and register what you bought, they add an extra year for a total of 3 years. Though I've never had any issues with any Secrid wallets I've bought, I truly feel they are they best quality in the game when it comes to these types of wallets. Enjoy yours once it arrives!!
Can you put business cards in the card slot? I've never seen anyone try it. I would love the twin one side for my business cards and the other for my personal credit cards?
Thanks for the complete review. Each has it's own preferences linked to their needs and habits. As I don't use anymore cash and coins (just cards and receipts), your n°5 is my n°1. For me the Cardslide is just perfect.
Haha, my pleasure Olivier! That’s what it’s all about, glad you could find the right Secrid for you (: And I agree, if you didn’t want to carry any cash or use it for coins, the cardslide is very solid just for another area to stash extra cards or business cards. Be safe and well out there brother !
Great video, very informative. I don't see myself use any of these wallets since I still need coins in me life and the Cardslide seems like such a bust lol I'd also go for the MiniWallet, though I don't like the button solution. Magnets could have done the job and feel more premium.
Hey there Eyal! Thanks so much for the comment and compliment. Really appreciate the time. Glad you found it helpful. Yes! I feel the same hah. You really need to flatten bills iron flat, but even then there’s not much room. Definitely a hassle. And I agree, I like the idea of a magnet as well, though To my surprise using the button hasn’t been too bad either. But a magnetized enclosure Would have been much more clean and premium. Hope things are well on your end and thanks again!
Not sure that a magnet would've given them a cleaner look, since aluminum is not magnetic. You'd probably still have to have a flap, or glue a magnetic strip to the aluminum.
How is the wallet mechanism in your pocket? Im a bit worried if i sit down or have tight pants on it might trigger the button? any experience with that? Thanks!
Never had any issues at all with that aspect. To be completely honest, Secrid has been one of if not my favorite wallets out of any I've ever used. Always fond myself going back to them. Quality is top of the line and never had any issues with what you've brought up. Hope that helps (:
Thank you! Next time maybe try if you can add 7 or 8 cards in de card slider. There is always people who are going to try... And in that case I just want to see if it works. Asking for a friend.
I bougth the mini wallet because of your review and i use the coin pocket from Secrid on my mini wallet and unglue a litle! Is it gonna unglue totally? Now you talk of double oak, does it fit euros folded in half? I Like my mini wallet a lot! Thank you
Appreciate the compliment brother, glad you found the video helpful! There's definitely a lot of em ha. Its the Original Green : amzn.to/3w4iJNV secrid.com/en-be/miniwallet-original-green/ Not sure which one will end up being cheaper for you but its that one there. Enjoy it once you snag it man and thanks for stopping over and commenting.
Been looking for a mini EDC wallet for quite some time, and I just discovered this Secrid brand and it’s lineup. I went for the smallest Cardholder, just enough space to hold the bare minimum, ie my ID card🪪, driver’s licence, store value NFC card for riding public transport, and a credit card, plus 3 bank notes 💵. Even it’s RFID shield, once you flick the spring button at the bottom, the cards pop up just enough to be read by the non contact card reader. How NEAT!
Loading two flush and two embossed cards into the card slide, Josh put the flush together and the two embossed together. As you have probably have already seen, the performance was not that good. I alternated the flushed and embossed a got better results.
Oh really? Yea you gotta be careful. This far I have had good luck with Amazon but better safe than sorry. I don’t have any affiliate links for Secrid no, but that’s okay (: Honestly I would rather my viewers have the safe buy than for me to make an affiliate sale. But thank you for asking anyways and for supporting !! I really appreciate it (:
Good Good. The whole range. Thanks. And you could also use the plain card holder with a moneyband. Actually what I'm really looking forward seeing is a slightly larger card holder. If it only would be one for seven cards of which two are embossed. In brown or rust. And an orange moneyband to go with it. But since there is no such thing, I'll go for the Slim Wallet.
Did you end up getting the slim with the moneyband? I just ordered the vintage brown slim with the black moneyband hoping it works as good as I'm thinking.
@@chrisd5758 I got the Slimwallet in Vintage Chocolate Brown. I'm very happy with my choice. Even paying stuff doesn't feel that painful anymore since I got this beautiful and practical wallet.
I have the secrid mini before, an amazing wallet the mechanism is superb. But I grow tired of using it and all I need now is a wallet with zipper and that's why I bought a bellroy folio mini.
Hahah, I hear ya John. It’s always nice to have a little selection to switch things up every once and a while. And the folio is so different, it’s a good one to toggle between. How are you liking the folio since you got it?
Hey there, thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment (: In the Slim, Twin and Miniwallet the cardholder does not detach. The only way to get the card protector, is to either buy it by itself, or buy the cardslide where it detaches. Hope that helps (:
Are you talk talking about the black plastic foldout cash compartment, inside the wallet? If so, that sounds nothing to be concerned about. I would expect that to stop after it's worked out and used more.
@@Joshua88Graham Yeah the gap and stitching between the leather and the metal cardholder, everytime I unfold the wallet to its max so i can store my cash, it makes that weird plastic noise. And yeah thats what I was thinking, so ill use it for a while until the plastic takes the shape of the bent. Thank you and lovin the wallet so far!
I have only one metal card and yes it works fine. Just be aware though that depending on the card, usually metal cards are heavier and thicker so it affects how many cards will fit in the wallet. Hope that helps
I was originally looking at ridge wallet but I might check this one out. I only carry 3 cards, plus I want to get one of those cheap card shaped fold out knives so it fits the size limit. Has anyone tried one of those card shaped knives with this?
I have a few videos featuring all these wallets. But Secrid and Aviator are my definitie favorites. I don't know of anyone who has tried the card shaped knife though :/
Ive had the cardprotector for 5 years and its great. But definitely want to upgrade that way i can carry cash as well. So would anyone recommend the mini wallet version ?
To be completely honest, both are great. I have both and they really age nicely. I guess if I really had to decide, I’d go with the matte. But it’s just slightly, as I think both age beautifully. Thanks for watching and stopping by !
I am using an Ekster Parliament now, and I am bothered by the inconvenient note compartment. I was thinking I should go for Secird Slim since I feel the closure button makes the wallet thicker. However, you have convinced me which the function also makes money secured. Moreover, I could even try to put some loonies and toonies in the extra card sections. Thanks for the sharing. Your video really makes good points.
The ekster was terrible for me, the button stopped working on the first one and almost immediately after getting the replacement, same thing. The secrid on the other hand has been the best wallet I've ever had. The button works every time the leather you can tell is much better quality and the secrid actually holds more cards which I actually needed. Overall once you get the secrid you'll see its a great improvement over ekster.
Hi Man, are a Secrid wallet without ABS system with cash, but a Little bit like other old Wallet ? Watch Moero 4.0 pro Did you know? I bought, I watch some thing don't like the card holder lever is always under tension, he has the Casio, but I see people who break it after 1, 2 years. Watch. Thanks for your tespond now
Hi nice video I just ordered a secrid slim wallet but the sliding mechanism is very rough and doesn't always slide the cards out all the way up especially the card that's supposed to go the highest anyone know how to fix this problem or should I refund it?
Orange is a great color. Though hard to get right sometimes when it comes to products ha. But I think Secrid does a good job with its color choices and designs for the most part
if it doesn't hold embossed cards that makes it kinda basically useless, no? pretty much all credit cards I've ever seen except the super premium metal ones you pay extra for are embossed. I don't even have any non-embossed cards except like, ID and insurance and... gift cards lol. also, those metal cards seem thicker than plastic cards anyway, so even if they're printed instead of embossed, I imagine they still don't fit as many
@@MisterMonsterathe glue part is by far the worst thing about the wallet, i don’t know about you but I bought my Secrid mini wallet recently and the underside of the plastic was barely glued/bonded to the metal, felt cheap, half assed and flimsy, I ended up applying my own superglue to the entire underpart of the plastic to the metal and it feels far more sturdy and durable, before when opening it, the leather edge at the outer hinge wedged between the plastic and metal and it made a rubbing sound and kept lifting up the glue, if that makes sense, since gluing it fully down fully it has felt far far more secure and the leather doesn’t wedge between the metal and plastic part, which means it can’t open entirely flat, but its still 100% perfect
As an owner of a Mini Wallet, I can confidently say the metal part of mine carries 6 cards (2 embossed, 4 flush) cards and the leather part can definitely hold 4, maybe more cards. A trick I found for the metal part when carrying embossed cards is to alternate the sides the numbers are on so they take up less space overall.

I still need to experiment with the cards and their order of precedence within the sleeve to get the perfect fit.
Thanks for this very thorough review! I'm eyeing on the Mini Wallet now although I have a small concern. Would you know if a metal card would cause any issues if put on the aluminum case? I'm thinking it could get scratch marks if put on the first or last slot since it would constantly get in contact with the surface of the case. Also since it is a lot heavier than plastic cards won't it come off easily when the wallet is upside down? Hope to hear your thoughts regarding this!
Very thorough reviews, thank you very much! I'm pretty sure I'm getting my dad one of these for his birthday and was having a hard time deciding, especially because the differences didn't seem that big besides the capacity. Now I just have to decide about if I'm getting him just the card holder or the mini wallet. He typically carries cash so I'm leaning towards the mini wallet, but he likes to carry a lot of cash sometimes so I wasn't sure how much would fit. I'm thinking the miniwallet just because it will have additional space for extra cards or receipts. Although maybe he would like the sleekness of the slimwallet without the button. Hard decisions... I'll have to ask my mom and siblings to help me decide.
So glad you found the video helpful Lei! There definitely is a lot to choose from which can make it a bit overwhelming. But the ones you mentioned are all awesome choices. And I'm sure with your siblings and moms help you will be able to find the perfect one for him. It will last him a very long time so it will be a great gift. Thanks for stopping by and sharing (:
6:52 I actually think you should try to put more cards in if that happens. Mine tend to get stuck now and again when I only have a few cards but never when it's full :)
I will give that a try next time (: Thank you for sharing that little trick !!
Mine came in the mail recently and overall happy, expect mine the glue holding the plastic to the metal was held together/applied poorly and felt extremely loose, especially putting cards it it popped up, so I applied more supeglue to the entire under part and now it’s made a world of difference, much more solid and durable
After owning the mini wallet for 7 years, using it on an average 5 times a day, it’s time for a replacement because it doesn’t hold the cards snag anymore so it comes to lose even in the pocket, and sometimes it Unbuckles. I think I’m going to get a Sameone because I enjoyed it that much.
Can't you fold cash in thirds instead of 4ths? Or better yet, use the cash band to hold the cash?
They should change that plastic cash holder to leather or xpac material, that plastic will break in to pieces in time
Had my slim version for maybe 7 years now. It’s never failed me. Well worth the money. Ex build quality
I’ve been using a knockoff Twinwallet for a couple of years now. I originally bought it because I liked the concept of the SecrID wallets but didn’t want to spend so much money on something that I wasn’t sure I’d like. I ended up really liking it, but it’s a bit too thick and I don’t need that many cards. So, now I want to buy the original and I’m deciding between the Slimwallet and Miniwallet … and it’s actually really difficult! I want it to be as slim as possible, so I guess I’ll take the Slimwallet. But the lack of a magnet is annoying, especially at that price point! I’m guessing they didn’t put a magnet in because some cards (especially older hotel key cards) have a magnet strip that could demagnetize?
Thank you for taking a moment to share Willi! I’m not sure why they didn’t make it magnetized, I feel the aluminum case would protect the cards from being demagnetized. Though honestly, I have grown to like the button clasp, it’s a little bit more secure to keep things closed. Hope you were able to make a decision and find the perfect Secrid wallet for yourself. Be safe and well out there man !
How is the leather attached to the card holder on mini wallet? Do I need to be worried about it coming apart?
Not sure if anyone will see this now a year late but figured I’d ask anyway thank you so much
Besides Wingback, the leather on Secrid is probably one of the best you can get out there. Two years in and mine still holds up great.
@@Joshua88Graham thank you so much for the quick reply. That was really my only remaining concern after watching and I look forward to getting one and using it for many years. Thank you again!!
@@herometzler681 My pleasure my friend! Just remember it comes with a 2 year warranty - and if you email secrid and register what you bought, they add an extra year for a total of 3 years. Though I've never had any issues with any Secrid wallets I've bought, I truly feel they are they best quality in the game when it comes to these types of wallets. Enjoy yours once it arrives!!
Can you put business cards in the card slot? I've never seen anyone try it. I would love the twin one side for my business cards and the other for my personal credit cards?
Thanks for the complete review. Each has it's own preferences linked to their needs and habits. As I don't use anymore cash and coins (just cards and receipts), your n°5 is my n°1. For me the Cardslide is just perfect.
Haha, my pleasure Olivier! That’s what it’s all about, glad you could find the right Secrid for you (: And I agree, if you didn’t want to carry any cash or use it for coins, the cardslide is very solid just for another area to stash extra cards or business cards. Be safe and well out there brother !
Great video, very informative.
I don't see myself use any of these wallets since I still need coins in me life and the Cardslide seems like such a bust lol
I'd also go for the MiniWallet, though I don't like the button solution. Magnets could have done the job and feel more premium.
Hey there Eyal! Thanks so much for the comment and compliment. Really appreciate the time. Glad you found it helpful. Yes! I feel the same hah. You really need to flatten bills iron flat, but even then there’s not much room. Definitely a hassle. And I agree, I like the idea of a magnet as well, though To my surprise using the button hasn’t been too bad either. But a magnetized enclosure Would have been much more clean and premium. Hope things are well on your end and thanks again!
Not sure that a magnet would've given them a cleaner look, since aluminum is not magnetic. You'd probably still have to have a flap, or glue a magnetic strip to the aluminum.
There's a very good reason for not having a magnet: it could interfere with older cards' magnetic stripe.
@@johanohly There's a brand that infact has magnet, called Vulkit. Check it out. I'm trying to decide between Secrid and that one.
How is the wallet mechanism in your pocket? Im a bit worried if i sit down or have tight pants on it might trigger the button? any experience with that? Thanks!
Never had any issues at all with that aspect. To be completely honest, Secrid has been one of if not my favorite wallets out of any I've ever used. Always fond myself going back to them. Quality is top of the line and never had any issues with what you've brought up. Hope that helps (:
Thank you! Next time maybe try if you can add 7 or 8 cards in de card slider. There is always people who are going to try... And in that case I just want to see if it works. Asking for a friend.
Hello bro cool video. Are you in Vancouver? I recognized the translink card. 😂
Haha, I’m back and forth. But I was in Vancouver for a while yes (:
Any tips if the lock on the slim wallet isnt big enough?
I’m not sure if I know what you mean. Are you asking what to do if you have too much in your wallet and it’s not closing?
I bougth the mini wallet because of your review and i use the coin pocket from Secrid on my mini wallet and unglue a litle! Is it gonna unglue totally?
Now you talk of double oak, does it fit euros folded in half? I Like my mini wallet a lot!
Thank you
Id like to use mini wallet with coin pouch so im wondering how is that gonna be, very nice review overall !
Bought the Mini version and I love it! Thanks for the info!
Great video, what colour Is the mini wallet you have? Id like to purchase the same one.
Appreciate the compliment brother, glad you found the video helpful! There's definitely a lot of em ha. Its the Original Green :

Not sure which one will end up being cheaper for you but its that one there. Enjoy it once you snag it man and thanks for stopping over and commenting.
Hi..good comparison.. however what about coin carrying in mini wallet?
I wouldn't recommend coins in them unfortunately :/ Maybe check out the bellroy mini folio wallet?
@@Joshua88Graham Thank you will check out..I also found Pularys solo wallet and DonBolso Wallety NextGen wallet..Would you recommend any of these ..
Great video dude, thanks.
My pleasure brother! Glad it was helpful for ya. Keep safe and well out there!
Great review
Is that no.1 on your list that colour looks cool.
I have a plan to buy, is it metallic, Green??
Liked and followed, perfect review. Thanks!
Appreciate the support my friend 🙏🏼 Thank you !
Been looking for a mini EDC wallet for quite some time, and I just discovered this Secrid brand and it’s lineup.
I went for the smallest Cardholder, just enough space to hold the bare minimum, ie my ID card🪪, driver’s licence, store value NFC card for riding public transport, and a credit card, plus 3 bank notes 💵.
Even it’s RFID shield, once you flick the spring button at the bottom, the cards pop up just enough to be read by the non contact card reader. How NEAT!
I’ve found that if you have fewer than 7 flush cards in the aluminum compartment they will slide out.
Loading two flush and two embossed cards into the card slide, Josh put the flush together and the two embossed together. As you have probably have already seen, the performance was not that good. I alternated the flushed and embossed a got better results.
Does it ruin the edge of the cards always using the trigger mech ??
I had all three. returned the cardslide and use the regular wallet unless I need the card space then use the twin
The Secrid website says to not purchase from Amazon as they might not be authentic products... do you have any affiliate links to their real website?
Oh really? Yea you gotta be careful. This far I have had good luck with Amazon but better safe than sorry. I don’t have any affiliate links for Secrid no, but that’s okay (: Honestly I would rather my viewers have the safe buy than for me to make an affiliate sale. But thank you for asking anyways and for supporting !! I really appreciate it (:
Thanks for this video now im sure to buy the miniwallet 🤗✌
4:10 can the mini go in back pockets or is it better front pocket
It can go in either very easily. The button/clasp doesn't interfere with pockets from my exp (:
@@Joshua88Graham fk ya you da man 🫶🏽 this vid helped me decide keep it up Boss man!
Good Good. The whole range. Thanks. And you could also use the plain card holder with a moneyband. Actually what I'm really looking forward seeing is a slightly larger card holder. If it only would be one for seven cards of which two are embossed. In brown or rust. And an orange moneyband to go with it. But since there is no such thing, I'll go for the Slim Wallet.
Did you end up getting the slim with the moneyband? I just ordered the vintage brown slim with the black moneyband hoping it works as good as I'm thinking.
@@chrisd5758 I got the Slimwallet in Vintage Chocolate Brown. I'm very happy with my choice. Even paying stuff doesn't feel that painful anymore since I got this beautiful and practical wallet.
I have the secrid mini before, an amazing wallet the mechanism is superb. But I grow tired of using it and all I need now is a wallet with zipper and that's why I bought a bellroy folio mini.
Hahah, I hear ya John. It’s always nice to have a little selection to switch things up every once and a while. And the folio is so different, it’s a good one to toggle between. How are you liking the folio since you got it?
@@Joshua88Graham I like it a lot. Simple but you can put almost everything ahahaha. Did you know there is a extra zipper inside the wallet?
Hey man, what colour is the Slimwallet used in this video? Thanks!
Great video! But I'm still asking myself, can you separate the cardprotector from the rest of the wallet? Or is it glued to it?
Hey there, thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment (: In the Slim, Twin and Miniwallet the cardholder does not detach. The only way to get the card protector, is to either buy it by itself, or buy the cardslide where it detaches. Hope that helps (:
its stuck! I had a whole combo in my head but wasnt able to get it cause it is one piece. I went to the flagshipstore in Rotterdam
Hi Josh, do you know why does my new mini wallet that i just purchased makes crackin plastic sound when i bend or try to extend the cash compartment.
Are you talk talking about the black plastic foldout cash compartment, inside the wallet? If so, that sounds nothing to be concerned about. I would expect that to stop after it's worked out and used more.
@@Joshua88Graham Yeah the gap and stitching between the leather and the metal cardholder, everytime I unfold the wallet to its max so i can store my cash, it makes that weird plastic noise. And yeah thats what I was thinking, so ill use it for a while until the plastic takes the shape of the bent. Thank you and lovin the wallet so far!
for the mini wallet if you load 10 extra cards outside of the metal cade. how many bills can you still hold?
What model colour was your go to mini wallet, the teal-greeny coloured one?
Hey there Mark! Its just the classic Green colourway. Here it is here -
amzn.to/3rXV976
Appreciate you stopping by and watching the video brother.
Does there mechanism work with metal cards?
I have only one metal card and yes it works fine. Just be aware though that depending on the card, usually metal cards are heavier and thicker so it affects how many cards will fit in the wallet. Hope that helps
Very well put together channel. ❤️
Great video!!!!
Much appreciated! So glad you found it helpful, thanks for stopping by to comment
I was originally looking at ridge wallet but I might check this one out. I only carry 3 cards, plus I want to get one of those cheap card shaped fold out knives so it fits the size limit. Has anyone tried one of those card shaped knives with this?
I have a few videos featuring all these wallets. But Secrid and Aviator are my definitie favorites. I don't know of anyone who has tried the card shaped knife though :/
What color is the green mini wallet? I cant find it for sale.
Ive had the cardprotector for 5 years and its great. But definitely want to upgrade that way i can carry cash as well. So would anyone recommend the mini wallet version ?
Does it have a pocket for Drivers License?
Is the premium line worth the cost?
which material would u recommend for miniwallet - vintage or matte?
To be completely honest, both are great. I have both and they really age nicely. I guess if I really had to decide, I’d go with the matte. But it’s just slightly, as I think both age beautifully. Thanks for watching and stopping by !
Great! Appreciate your reply 😊
@@cookiesncoffee6252 My pleasure ! Enjoy your wallet whenever you choose one (:
@@Joshua88Graham what is the difference between matte black and veg black, I'm confuse.
I am using an Ekster Parliament now, and I am bothered by the inconvenient note compartment. I was thinking I should go for Secird Slim since I feel the closure button makes the wallet thicker. However, you have convinced me which the function also makes money secured. Moreover, I could even try to put some loonies and toonies in the extra card sections. Thanks for the sharing. Your video really makes good points.
The ekster was terrible for me, the button stopped working on the first one and almost immediately after getting the replacement, same thing. The secrid on the other hand has been the best wallet I've ever had. The button works every time the leather you can tell is much better quality and the secrid actually holds more cards which I actually needed. Overall once you get the secrid you'll see its a great improvement over ekster.
thank you very much for this video
, very helpful
Have you seen the secrid band wallet?
Hey there! Yes I have tried it, but I wasn’t a huge fan in comparison to the others. Though I do know many people love it
@@Joshua88Graham You should check out the Carl Friedrik x secrid collab
Brilliant comparison..
Thanks for the kind comment my friend! Very glad the video was helpful (:
Is there an area to put coins? thanks
I believe secrid offers a coin attachment now. So there should be something on their site now
Hi Man, are a Secrid wallet without ABS system with cash, but a Little bit like other old
Wallet ?
Watch Moero 4.0 pro
Did you know?
I bought, I watch some thing don't like
the card holder lever is always under tension, he has the Casio, but I see people who break it after 1, 2 years.
Watch.
Thanks for your tespond now
A bit late to the party, but the trick for your bills in all of these, is to fold each bill seperately and not fold the stack. Saves you some space.
That means the world lol I got the slim one without the latch and I was about to go grab a close pin lol cheers mate
@zr0buks_ You're welcome :)
You won't have the time to fold your bill separately, you will look like a fool Infront of the casier😂
@develentsai3215 "Look at him folding his bills, what a fool". Sure, sounds about right.
Hi nice video I just ordered a secrid slim wallet but the sliding mechanism is very rough and doesn't always slide the cards out all the way up especially the card that's supposed to go the highest anyone know how to fix this problem or should I refund it?
Can anyone comment on the eject mechanism - can we use it with one hand easily? Is it covered by warranty?
Easily usable with one hand in terms of the mechanism. Very smooth
Any review on the apple nimilist wallet?
You are using that cash holder wrong. You should put cash vertical in there and it naturally folds two times.
Keep up the good work I am eying off the orange in these
Thank you brother! Really appreciate your support, as always. Nice! Secrid has some great color choices. The orange really pops.
@@Joshua88Graham orange is my favourite colour
Orange is a great color. Though hard to get right sometimes when it comes to products ha. But I think Secrid does a good job with its color choices and designs for the most part
@@Joshua88Graham Yeah totally I think the orange is nice, I have a few orange Lamy pens.
if it doesn't hold embossed cards that makes it kinda basically useless, no? pretty much all credit cards I've ever seen except the super premium metal ones you pay extra for are embossed. I don't even have any non-embossed cards except like, ID and insurance and... gift cards lol. also, those metal cards seem thicker than plastic cards anyway, so even if they're printed instead of embossed, I imagine they still don't fit as many
Have used the slim for about 6 years now
How stable is the glued part? Any issues with it?
@@MisterMonsterathe glue part is by far the worst thing about the wallet, i don’t know about you but I bought my Secrid mini wallet recently and the underside of the plastic was barely glued/bonded to the metal, felt cheap, half assed and flimsy, I ended up applying my own superglue to the entire underpart of the plastic to the metal and it feels far more sturdy and durable, before when opening it, the leather edge at the outer hinge wedged between the plastic and metal and it made a rubbing sound and kept lifting up the glue, if that makes sense, since gluing it fully down fully it has felt far far more secure and the leather doesn’t wedge between the metal and plastic part, which means it can’t open entirely flat, but its still 100% perfect
So basically the card slide might gets rank up if they build a deeper tray.
Yes! I agree. It would actually be a really serviceable addition if that was remedied
Has anyone had issues with the ejector fan mechanism tearing up the plastic on their cards?
Not for me
Will it get scratched for scrid mini wallet?
Reviews very well done. Definitely convinced now this is NOT for me. Saved me lots of time. Thank you
