I recommend not purchasing the Ridge Wallet. Design and strength 10/10. Functionality 0/10. The wallet is designed for younger kids that have 1 CC card, Drivers license and a few bucks cash. That’s it. For us older adults, we have multiple cards, IDs, insurance, etc. To pull out a specific card is EXTREMELY difficult, annoying and has no functionality. So you’re inclined to organize the card from most used to least used (front to back), doesn’t solve the issue. You have to take out your entire stack of cards and sieve through it to find the one you want. Then cram it all back in, while it catches in the band and further delaying the process that can be so easy. If you’re a kid buy it. If you’re an adult, do not buy.
As an "older" I appreciate your comment. All these minimalist wallets look great - if all you have is credit cards. I was wondering where to put my driver's license, registration, insurance card, vaccine card, medical / dental / vision cards, and, yes, my AARP card!
@@njwebwiz how often do you even use half that stuff though? Would it not be easier to keep it somewhere safe in your house, and grab it when you need it? 12 cards can handle: ID, debit card, credit card, insurance card (car), health 3 health insurance cards, and 5 more cards you may need. What the hell else are you carrying? and why?
@@christianbrooks9155 the rarer I use something the less likely I am to remember to grab it when I need it. Prime example is the vaccination card. Nobody cares about them any more except for one event I go to 4 times a year. It takes up 0 space in a hidden pocket of my normal wallet, but wouldn't fit in a Ridge. If I happen to forget the card they won't let me into the event, and it's a 7-hour round trip to go home and get it. Plus, I like knowing the once a year I need to find the insurance card I can open my wallet with my eyes closed and still find it if I needed to. With something like the Ridge, I could probably fit all the cards I need in there, but I don't want to have to touch my once-per-year cards every time I need to get something out of the wallet.
It’s a very nice looking wallet but my reasons are that cards with raised characters don’t fit well, there’s no separate compartment for ID, carrying cash is limited, you have to sift through your cards and 90 to 140 dollars for a wallet is a little absurd.
You dislike the wallet for its very designed purpose? Most are running their cards with raised characters in their Apple/Google wallets. Most carry one card on them in the wallet just in case the digital POS isn’t working or Apple or Google Pay isn’t accepted with that particular vendor. The point of the wallet is to be minimalist, if they made a compartment for your ID you may as well just stick with the traditional folding wallet or they’d have to make the design more bulkier. Yes carrying cash is limited as it should be, the average person isn’t trying to carry more than $20-40 bucks in their wallets just in case they need emergency cash and that’s it. $90-140 for a wallet is insane? No it’s made with material that’s made to last and not quit on you plus Ridge offers lifetime guarantee and product replacement free of charge. I think you’ve been stuck on the traditional wallet for so long. It’s why you out your 2 most used 💳‘a in the front and back. I have it and it frees up insane space in your pocket!
@@kendallfleming5858 it’s tempting, but I wouldn’t put this in my back pocket, I would always be wondering if it’s still there… then putting it in my front pockets will just bulk up my phone or my keys. Plus then I would have two useless pockets in the back. Usually wear jeans, so I guess I’ll stick with the normal wallets for now. Don’t get me wrong good wallet, just not for everyone.
@@CarnEvil716 You’re not supposed to put it in your back pocket. It’s part of its functionality, for you to put it in your front pocket or side pocket of your pants so it’s harder for a criminal to simply come by and “yoink” it from you. I can understand always wondering if it’s still there, I did that a lot after I first ordered my Ridge wallet and carried it around for two weeks. Yet, after a while it was great because of how it frees up so much space and is just flat out more modern in feel and doesn’t give your pants that “wallet print” because your wallet is so thick and has so much pressure on it when you sit down. Most people are wearing their keys on a key ring or key loop that affixes and hangs freely from a belt loop. It’s uncomfortable period having your keys in your pocket unless you only have 3 keys. The phone I somewhat get. As far as useless pockets, so what. I thought you’d want more free space not occupied space. I also purchased their key holder which is also carbon fiber and insanely effective. I have my 6 keys, AirTag and Car Key & it has a belt clip in case you want to put it on your belt and it makes 0 noise when you walk which also frees up space in my jeans and only my phone is an issue. I don’t care to use every pocket simply because it’s there. I was stuck in my old ways of using a traditional wallet for over 35 years! Then I got tired of every time I sit down the wallet presses against me. The Ridge wallet takes some getting used to, but it’s great! Unless you’re that guy that has 30 cards in your wallet for no reason.
Yes, the Ridge Wallet can scratch up your cards over time. The tight fit and rigid metal frame cause friction when sliding cards in and out, especially if you're frequently accessing them. This is more noticeable on cards with raised numbers or finishes that are prone to scuffing. If card condition is a concern, it’s something to keep in mind with minimalist metal wallets like the Ridge.
Very useful, Size is the huge win. Folding, storing and accessing cash is such a pain. Not easy if we have to use 1-2 cards more frequent without scanning other cards. Not for my type.
Overall, good video. However, I've had my doubts about the Ridge wallet and it's certainly been solidified. Minimalism is not the way to go for me and the fact everybody is leaning so hard into it is aggravating. I don't want a "going out" wallet or a "travelling" wallet, I want one that does everything I need it to, every time. I don't like carrying cash, but my leather wallet has hidden compartments for cash, much better than someone who may steal my wallet and has access to literally everything that may be there whereas some compartments in my current wallet really take some know-how to get to. I also need to carry some paper identification cards, such as my voter ID and it just doesn't look like it would play well in this wallet. Additionally, accessing cards in the middle seems rather tedious. In my current wallet, there's no fanning out or anything like that and then fighting to place it back in. Just unbutton the card pouch, slide what wallet I want out and then back in, done in 5 seconds. The Ridge seems certainly like it has the capability to double or triple that time and I hate that when I'm at self checkouts. I'm usually going pretty fast at self checkouts because I want to get in and get out as well as getting out of other people's way, it just seems rather inconvenient. A standard wallet is capable of holding other items that may be important such as receipts or coupons or more. Sometimes if I want to make a decision on something that I can't decide on that's inconsequential (like deciding on where to eat,) I have a gold coin I like to flip to decide. That's not a possibility with the Ridge. Again, back to the usability and multiple wallets, why would I spend time switching cards from wallet to wallet depending on the occasion rather than just saving time in general and having one small and compact wallet that already does everything for me? The Ridge seems to be a total waste of time and money sadly, no matter how much I find the (Ridge)Red attractive.
I just watched a video on the groove life wallet. I think that would be a better wallet for me with my arthritis. The plate is easier for me to manage. Thanks for the info.
Watched this because I just saw the burnt ember on their website and wanted to see a video of it first and put it this way used your link n code thank you very much, cheers dude from the uk
I really like how the company didn't squander the opportunity to show their product ih a 1:1 video on Instagram. Or any of the available aspect ratios. Sarcasm, their Instagram page portrayed what the environment the subject was in looked like while they had the wallet. Presumably. The only "wallet in action" footage they showed was of their competitor failing. So I know what the thing I'm familiar with looks like, and I haven't seen video of the new thing I don't think I need to buy. Way to convince, guys! Thank you for posting this. Thankful
I have three (3) Ridge wallets currently. They are awesome! I've got the Damascus, Ember and the Burnt Titanium so far. I also have Rossm wallets, which are a Ridge wanna be copy but I think they're very nice at under $30.
I got a loyal Strickland Shell cordovan leather “Johnny wallet” and never looked back, I’m two yrs in. Before that rocked a bell Roy “card pocket” for 5 yrs. Great wallet as well. Before that had a leather merona wallet from target for 15 yrs. And before that a quicksilver corduroy Velcro wallet as a teenager for my first wallet. I’m just not buying into this or maybe I’m trying to talk myself out of it. I am curious but I’ve seen others that deploy in an easier accessibility of cards. That seems functionally better.
I've been pondering getting a ridge wallet but man. Having to sift through your cards constantly rubbing my 20$ wallet function feels better. But I do like the simplicity
I dunno I wouldn't worry about that. I have slim fabric wallet that has all my IDs/cards next to each other and rubbing isn't a problem. Never even thought about it, honestly. I dunno how much you want to trust it, but Ridge in their FAQ has a question about "will my cards scratch each other?" and they reply "No, the wallet is specifically designed not to scratch cards." We'll see; just ordered one lol.
Drivers License would slip in just like credit cards, I've never seen a concealed permit but if it's the size of a DL then same method applies. Have a great day:)
The only thing keeping me from buying is the cost. I know they offer a lifetime warranty but you see that is the business. They know your not going back to your old wallet because this is better. So they purposely give a free lifetime warranty. I’m not going to buy a wallet it is just an extra investment. If they bring it down to like $50 maybe I’ll consider it.
Retail price 95 now on sale for only $100 only at Ridge Wallet, something fishy about these wallets and their pricing. Two flaps cant be worth $140 anyways.
Found a listing on offerup for a titanium edition ridge wallet for only $30. Best $30 I've spent as my old leather wallet's stitching has come apart. I only carry a few cards in there and tip money with the strap.
Thats a bad review cause he doesn't show how clumsy it is to spread the cards and pick one between. Groove holds less cards but than again the reason we are thinking these wallets is the idea or carrying only necessary everyday cards.
The only and biggest problem I see with this wallet is that all the cards comes out in one stack and you have to search every time for the one you need. And thats a big no no:).. They need to fix this issue and until then my 15$ card wallet does better job..
I was really disappointed by the Ridge customer service although the product looks great. I ordered one and they sent me a damaged or used one. When I asked for an exchange they told me they don’t do exchanges for Greece and all they offerd was a 20% refund. (Or, If I wanted to return the used one, I should pay shipping. Totally disappointing)
I have the leather one and im waiting for the rest of my ridge wallet. For me i like it coz its small. I carry id And my debit card and that’s it. I use my credit card if i have emergency. I like ridge. I have used some knockoff but it didnt do any good for me. Yes the price is crazy but if i compare my designer wallet from Lv and chanel this is the cheapest one. Plus once you order they will send you 40 percent discount.
After seeing LTT and other youtubers showing this company, I was once interested and went to look around. No wonder they could afford to keep sponsoring videos... they charge crazy amount for a wallet that's arguably less practical than traditional leather wallet.
To "minimize" is "in" these days. Yes, I like the concept, and have grown tiresome of the standard "bulk" wallet. Remember that Seinfeld episode when George pulled out his wallet and attempted to add a tiny strip of paper to it...and it "burst" from the bulk? Art imitates life. Anyway -- These types of products aren't really "wallets" -- but merely "card holders".
I downvote videos like twice a year, and it looks like this one is one of those. The reason is the click-baity title that benefits your own metrics by making interested viewers take their time and watch it. However, it wastes that time, especially when the viewer is familiar with the base features of the product. I don't see anything different in your video, compared to ads and most other reviews, except for the gold version of the wallet. Unboxing and first looks is not worth the title of "Watch Before You Buy". I expected someone with months of experience giving all the details of their experience with different examples - I felt cheated, so I downvoted your video.
The design makes no sense the cards are held together with friction that will absolutely scrap the scan bars and the fact you have to pop them all out just to get to one.. to each there own
I see that this guy makes dumpster diving videos as well. I'm not surprised, probably found these "wallets" in one of them. Also I'm not impressed, nor do I care, that you have a crypto card no matter how many times you tell us.
Thank you for making this video and showing how it’s used. My climbing partner suggested I check out their wallets. Too minimalistic! Sure, I can stuff 12 cards in there, but at what practical price? Then I’m all-too-likely playing 12-card-pickup, as well as sorting through them to take them out every stinkin’ single time unless I go way out of my way to insert them back in in a very particular order each time. Another consideration with that design that has me properly concerned is how much it wears out cards especially for their edges and magnetic stripes because they’ll always be rubbing on each other with pressure. Cards need to last longer than the wallet’s warranty, and I’ve had regular-use debit cards get very worn with nowhere near as much rubbing/scraping as I’d expect this would inflict. This isn’t great design for usability beyond 2 cards and some bills, and it’s clearly more destructive to what it is supposed to protect than not having a wallet at all. It may look neat (beauty is in the eye of the beholder) to many, but way too expensive for its functional design. The one useful functional aspect that isn’t a problem that it has is the RFID shielding. It won’t look nearly as sophisticated, but this reaffirms my decision to design and 3D-print a better wallet design that meets my needs, one of those being easier to handle, combined with better protecting what I carry in it as another major one. Adding RFID shielding is a simple thing to add that I can’t 3D-print ;)
Referencing your point about cards getting worn out using this, do you not have an issue with the traditional leather wallets ? My cards always start to break right at the mag strip because of how they are positioned and sitting on them for months/years.
@@ImGettinWeird I do have issues with traditional leather wallets causing wear as well. However, I have never placed my wallet in my back pockets, for various reasons, so that’s not so much the issue for me. Leather wallets (and anything that stretches at all) eventually gets too loose and then you’re forced to do things to keep cards fitting tightly, which goes back to the same problem.
@@strictnonconformist7369 yeah , I was just thinking (not from experience cuz I don't have a ridge) that the wear on your cards is there no matter what wallet you have, it'll just be a different type of wear depending on if you have a ridge or traditional wallet. These ridge wallets are on sale today, I almost bought one but I keep talking myself out of it .
@@ImGettinWeird well, I’ve been distracted by many things in the meantime, but I will get back to my mad scientist 3D-printed wallet that won’t wear out cards on their faces and stripes. I’m just mad enough to pull it off!
Looks like the cards will get repeatedly scratched against each other. Bad for the mag strips, bad for wear adhd tear, bad for metal cards. Gotta look for something better
@@KeithBeckham1 they really should include things like that. Like what this wallet is good for and what it's not good for. Would help ppl make an informed decision but I guess they don't care
Not worth the price. More & more wallets & carried accessories has just turned into “He look at what expensive stuff I carry that’s not very practical, but looks cool”
Don't see much use for this. Still too big for me. I rarely carry cash, and when I do it is in my front pocket with a money clip, so it's petty small. I use an apple wallet on the back of my phone. 1 Drivers license, 1 credit card, 1 medical insurance card. I figure it would be good to have the medical card in case of a car accident or something, where I couldn't respond. Everything else is stored in my phone. Nice idea if you didn't have a smartphone, but who doesn't these days. Have you seen one of the ads from Ridge Wallet? Compares a big chunky leather wallet with 7 cards to the Ridge with 4. And of course the leather wallet doesn't double up cards in ever pocket to add bulk. Hahaha.
But can’t it still fall out of pockets? My biker wallet has a chain, so you can’t lose it. Many time it’s been swinging from the chain.😂 if ridge wallet has a chain I’d buy it.
@@Doggmatic_ it’s a rossm wallet I got off Amazon last week it has no scratches so far and holds up great I have no complaints about it so far I would highly recommend them especially for the price even comes with extra band and money clip

I wish they would use real Damascus or Damasteel, not engraved steel.
It looks great! But how is this better than a rubber band? Besides not being rfid blocking of course....
I ended up choosing the burnt titanium option can’t wait to get mine
Nice color enjoy it:)
I’m soon planning to buy the Olive Green Ridge Wallet because it’s my favorite color.
can’t take a review seriously when the UA-camr is sponsored by the product they’re reviewing lol

The Ridge is a fancy money clip/holder for cards instead of cash. Minimalistic for sure.
Good idea, but what happened to the coins/exchanges you got after using the cash?
You can get a coin tray, which can also hold a few keys
I carry the wallet in my front pocket, and loose coins in my back pocket. I have been doing this for years regardless of the wallet I am using.

What a bs on ali they only cost 7 dollar instead 199 +
Did I miss something. Where do you put your driver's license? Concealed weapon permit?
Drivers License would slip in just like credit cards, I've never seen a concealed permit but if it's the size of a DL then same method applies. Have a great day:)

Yes the price is crazy but if i compare my designer wallet from Lv and chanel this is the cheapest one. Plus once you order they will send you 40 percent discount.
After seeing LTT and other youtubers showing this company, I was once interested and went to look around. No wonder they could afford to keep sponsoring videos... they charge crazy amount for a wallet that's arguably less practical than traditional leather wallet.
Another sales video for Ridge Wallets
Ba da bing ba da boom - a little overused don't you think?
To "minimize" is "in" these days. Yes, I like the concept, and have grown tiresome of the standard "bulk" wallet. Remember that Seinfeld episode when George pulled out his wallet and attempted to add a tiny strip of paper to it...and it "burst" from the bulk? Art imitates life.
Anyway -- These types of products aren't really "wallets" -- but merely "card holders".
Can you hold many coins in it, or do I just throw excess coins on the street?
Only the weird put coins in their wallet
is this a review or promotion?

Who the heck would use the strap or clip for the purpose of displaying your money.
I dunno what’s more cringe, him saying bada bing bada boom like 4 times or the fact he’s said “ballers” like a dozen times 💀
I downvote videos like twice a year, and it looks like this one is one of those. The reason is the click-baity title that benefits your own metrics by making interested viewers take their time and watch it. However, it wastes that time, especially when the viewer is familiar with the base features of the product. I don't see anything different in your video, compared to ads and most other reviews, except for the gold version of the wallet. Unboxing and first looks is not worth the title of "Watch Before You Buy". I expected someone with months of experience giving all the details of their experience with different examples - I felt cheated, so I downvoted your video.
The design makes no sense the cards are held together with friction that will absolutely scrap the scan bars and the fact you have to pop them all out just to get to one.. to each there own
But it doesn’t store coins - which, if you use cash, is a problem
You can get a coin tray, which can also hold a few keys
Driver's license? Condom? Phone numbers? Receipts? Bus cards?
I got a ridge wallet ad in the middle of watching this
Too much "Ballers"? and bodabing badaboom.
I wish we could get o e w/o a cash strap embedded.
Thank you for discount! Great video!
I see that this guy makes dumpster diving videos as well. I'm not surprised, probably found these "wallets" in one of them. Also I'm not impressed, nor do I care, that you have a crypto card no matter how many times you tell us.
Thank you for making this video and showing how it’s used. My climbing partner suggested I check out their wallets.
Too minimalistic! Sure, I can stuff 12 cards in there, but at what practical price? Then I’m all-too-likely playing 12-card-pickup, as well as sorting through them to take them out every stinkin’ single time unless I go way out of my way to insert them back in in a very particular order each time.
Another consideration with that design that has me properly concerned is how much it wears out cards especially for their edges and magnetic stripes because they’ll always be rubbing on each other with pressure. Cards need to last longer than the wallet’s warranty, and I’ve had regular-use debit cards get very worn with nowhere near as much rubbing/scraping as I’d expect this would inflict.
This isn’t great design for usability beyond 2 cards and some bills, and it’s clearly more destructive to what it is supposed to protect than not having a wallet at all. It may look neat (beauty is in the eye of the beholder) to many, but way too expensive for its functional design. The one useful functional aspect that isn’t a problem that it has is the RFID shielding.
It won’t look nearly as sophisticated, but this reaffirms my decision to design and 3D-print a better wallet design that meets my needs, one of those being easier to handle, combined with better protecting what I carry in it as another major one. Adding RFID shielding is a simple thing to add that I can’t 3D-print ;)
Referencing your point about cards getting worn out using this, do you not have an issue with the traditional leather wallets ? My cards always start to break right at the mag strip because of how they are positioned and sitting on them for months/years.
@@ImGettinWeird I do have issues with traditional leather wallets causing wear as well.
However, I have never placed my wallet in my back pockets, for various reasons, so that’s not so much the issue for me.
Leather wallets (and anything that stretches at all) eventually gets too loose and then you’re forced to do things to keep cards fitting tightly, which goes back to the same problem.
@@strictnonconformist7369 yeah , I was just thinking (not from experience cuz I don't have a ridge) that the wear on your cards is there no matter what wallet you have, it'll just be a different type of wear depending on if you have a ridge or traditional wallet. These ridge wallets are on sale today, I almost bought one but I keep talking myself out of it .
@@ImGettinWeird well, I’ve been distracted by many things in the meantime, but I will get back to my mad scientist 3D-printed wallet that won’t wear out cards on their faces and stripes. I’m just mad enough to pull it off!
@@strictnonconformist7369 do it ! show it off on UA-cam and sell em on Etsy or whatever
Does the gold wear with frequent handling/use?
With careful handling, there are fine scratches. I would not recommend other utensils such as mobile phone, keys…
“Ballers”? Please stop. Stop.
Looks like the cards will get repeatedly scratched against each other. Bad for the mag strips, bad for wear adhd tear, bad for metal cards. Gotta look for something better
Watch another video
That was a ladies wallet🤣
What do you do with your coins?
Ballers throw them in the donation jar
18k gold ftw 🙌
That is a beautiful one indeed:)
24k gold plated wallet with money clip holding 100s is asking to be robbed lol
I want a gold one but worried it'll scratch easily
Lol I want one that covers my money completely
Same here I'm not trying to flash even a dollar
so, Im an idiot, but what is a "baller"?
Someone who gets validation by telling everyone they have lots of money.
I always wanted a ridge wallet but it doesn't have free shipping option to Malaysia as the shipping price is ridiculously high in my currency
Throw them on the street. Why in the hell do you need coins in this hyperinflation market?

Yo they smoking crack with them prices they ain’t even all that n the product not even worth 20$
bro mentions baller one 100 times but busts out a LV wallet lol hey i dont judge good vid
@@exk343 that comment went way over your head
Where do you put photos and business cards?
I guess folded in half and mixed with your cash:)
Honestly if your carrying photos and business cards this wallet probably isn’t for you I would consider another option
Just get an ekster, 1000x better
@@KeithBeckham1 they really should include things like that. Like what this wallet is good for and what it's not good for. Would help ppl make an informed decision but I guess they don't care
Ballers don’t carry photos.
Nothing beats an old fashioned, traditional wallet. Period.
enough foreplay; we're men. get to it
Not worth the price. More & more wallets & carried accessories has just turned into “He look at what expensive stuff I carry that’s not very practical, but looks cool”
Good review ...advice.... can do better lighting and show better angles avoiding light to camera 📷..good luck 👍
Hey, do you have a crypto.com card?
The Ridge made great wallets, I own 4 of them. But I will never buy another one, because they’re made in China now👎🏻👎🏻
On Fridays We Ball💲💵
Doesn't look very convenient for credit cards.
Don't see much use for this. Still too big for me. I rarely carry cash, and when I do it is in my front pocket with a money clip, so it's petty small. I use an apple wallet on the back of my phone. 1 Drivers license, 1 credit card, 1 medical insurance card. I figure it would be good to have the medical card in case of a car accident or something, where I couldn't respond. Everything else is stored in my phone. Nice idea if you didn't have a smartphone, but who doesn't these days.
Have you seen one of the ads from Ridge Wallet? Compares a big chunky leather wallet with 7 cards to the Ridge with 4. And of course the leather wallet doesn't double up cards in ever pocket to add bulk. Hahaha.
Dude you got a woman's wallet 😂
your louis vitton wallet is so cringey. LOL
this whole video is cringey.. its one big paid advertisement
Hey
Hello, thanks for watching have a great day:)
Ba da bing , ba da bollocks. This was no help at all. Ballers? WTF are they?
They are people that play basketball:)
erm rip off, even with a big discount.
But can’t it still fall out of pockets? My biker wallet has a chain, so you can’t lose it. Many time it’s been swinging from the chain.😂 if ridge wallet has a chain I’d buy it.
Kermit?
This guy have a female wallet! 😂😂😂
I was wondering the same thing:)
@@TipsNNTricks They also have men wearing handbags! Feminizing the young men of the world. Sad 😞
Tons of beta males with female wallets and purses 🤦
CRO!!
I love ridge as a brand they’re wallets are great but the price is where it gets me I got a 20$ knockoff and it works just fine
Does the paint hold up? Any scuffs or nicks?
@@Doggmatic_ it’s a rossm wallet I got off Amazon last week it has no scratches so far and holds up great I have no complaints about it so far I would highly recommend them especially for the price even comes with extra band and money clip
Please stop saying 'Ballers'
You: "The only thing stronger than that is probably my co-
Me:😳
You: -ffee
Me:😆
nice video
Stop with the bada bing bada boom!! Very annoying!!!
"how much for sliding cards badabing badaboom and having some bills on the side"
"140"
wtf
boom
I have cheaper knock off it’s been good but the paint rubs off on my cards 💳
who are these ballers....and where can i get one?
it is quite expensive for two pieces of metal 🤣😂
Naah bruh..this is stupid. Thank you.
would you like to sell me the gold plated wallet?
paying minimum $100 to have to fan out and sift through all of your cards everytime you open your wallet? no thanks
You might as well put up a sign Mug me rather than put the sticker on your truck moped bike and car
Too pricey
