One update. I did notice the Ridge is more forgiving in its elasticity so getting cards in and out is easier than the counterpart. This does not, however, change my verdict.
I use the same wallet as you, can confirm is 10000% worth it and better than the Ridge.
Eckster wallet?
I am watching your whole playlist. You really put things into perspective.
Note that some companies like ridge international make high priced items then use secondary sources to charge it less so that savers can still pay them for "different products"
@@vordt4139 it's not "bettter" than the ridge. It's just a better price
This was literally the best product review I've seen. Rather than just checking the product on its own merits and how it stands up to its claims, you compared it to a more affordable knock off. That's above and beyond right there.
I wouldn't even be surprised if it's not a knockoff as such, it seems likely equivalent products were already sold before ridge started selling this stuff. Numerous youtube sponsored products are clearly dependent on marketing/advertising, instead of simply having a product people want.
Much like the earphones advertised all over youtube, which were clearly barely(if at all) modified & rebadged existing cheap chinese earphones - which themselves cane be perfectly fine, when they aren't rebadged & overpriced(and indeed, many higher end no-name *wired* earphones from Chinese brands are fantastic & much cheaper than brand names).
Definitely interested in seeing more like this. Who else thinks almost every sponsor won't actually be worth it?
Raycon has some pretty good earbuds. I reckon everything else he'll test in the future will be overpriced.
Express vpn is pretty good
watch Raycon sponsor him to do one on them
@@BO-hh8mj Ye. I'm still using the one I bought a yr ago
@@BO-hh8mj Raycon is shit if you have ever experienced quality audio such as an m40x, msr7b, sr50bt...etc. They sound like ass
1st minute of the vid: AAAAAANNNNDD.... there goes the sponsorship-plug. Out the door, down the street, and around the block🤣🤣
This man is a hero and the worst part is he will probably never get sponsored
RIP
A while ago I was so close to dropping $120 on a Ridge wallet. I got an Elgato capture card instead.
You should do the Raycon Wireless earbuds that everyone is sponsored by. They are basically the Raid: Shadow Legends of earbuds, at this point. lol
Ohh he did..
Meanwhile Raid: Shadow Legends is sitting somewhere shitting it self.
i see the classic differences of items that are in fact the exact same! More expensive cheaper item v.s. The cheaper more durable. They GOTCHA!!
The exact same thing is $0.80 on AliExpress 🤣
I enjoyed this. We need more of this!!
Watching this 2 years later and Ridge has upped their price to $95 minimum. Thank goodness this video exists.
I finally got to watch this, it dropped when I woke up(8am my time)but been busy with school holidays and the kids, I absolutely LOVE your videos
This series is really helpful as Aussies don't get to return a lot of this stuff to US Amazon as shipping costs aren't covered so thanks Skeemy Skeem!
Im from the future to tell you guys that We Skeem has 1 million subs and I've seen his face but.....this is the start of we skeem losing sponsorship opportunities but worry not because we had a good laugh...(nervous chuckle)
Props for keeping the gloves on while screwing
morph suits are like onesies, he's most likely got his head out for this one but execpt for the one zipper it's covered everywhere else
Much like the Crocs, the gloves stay on during sex
I have that cheaper one for over 5 years now already and it's awesome. Never had to tighten any screws and is still in amazing looking state.
Just proves that you spend more money for name brand! Thank you for the Video Skeem!
This is very quality, I loved this!
Would love for this to become a series
Inspired by this video, I tried out the much cheaper '
ROSSM Slim Minimalist Front Pocket RFID Blocking Carbon Fiber Metal Wallets for Men with Cash Strap' instead of the Ridge wallet, and I have been absolutely thrilled with it. Thank you, We Skeem! :D
Why is my guy declassifying all the secrets latley? 😂 Much love skeem
The carbon fiber pattern gives it not only the appearance of carbon fiber, but also the apparent strength of carbon fiber as well, as the legend is told.
I knew the verdict before watching but I watched it anyway because this is top quality content.
We skeem: "Sponsor me, or get shit on in a review"!
This is a cool idea. After a while, maybe you could branch out into other things such as sponsored posts? I always get a bunch on Instagram, Facebook ect that I wonder how good it is.
Yea thanks for confirming my suspicions
I feel that “focus, focus damn you” sounds like my brain when trying to do college work 😂
I love that I got an ad for a Ridge Wallet imitator before this video.
We need more of this thanks skeem I was gonna buy a ridge now I know I can find basically the same shit for 20 bucks 💯💯
Love the honesty. Most sponsored products suck ass.
You need more views bro! This was great!
The balkan-vibes of the background music was excellent. I suppose that it's just a song from the UA-cam music archive? Also, looking forward to the Raycon-thing.
Ngl I just like the look of it at the start lmao
I love this new series!
Wow, sad to see ridge is at more than twice as expensive, but up to three times more expensive, than a "knock off", with quotes cause its better
Skeem is always going to keep it real. You never have to wonder.
I would like to see Vessi shoes next. The water proof mesh shoes.
I paid $5 for essentially the same thing, minus any accessories, off of eBay.
I don't know why I would want to make it harder to get a specific card out than using a wallet a few mm thicker with dividers that let me choose the card more easily.
How about stuff from Adam & Eve?
Haha, no jk, unless u... *awkward hand together shy emoji*
What's with the granny gloves 😂
This was cool! More, please! 👍
For the next episode: Manscape
I was kinda meh on this idea tbh, but honestly I really liked it. And the outcome surprised me, interested in seeing more of the series!
I had my Ridge for a little over a year before the rivets that held it together began to fall out, causing the wallet to explode after I dropped it at the airport. The clip would also get loose and fall out when I'd pull the wallet from my pocket. The quality of these wallets are really bad, and I will never buy one again.
How funny is it I get an advertisement for the same product he’s reviewing lol
I paid £1.50 for my wallet, does the job
I got better out of a wallet someone gave me made out of duct tape.
I think this will do well if we can get the algorithm to favor it, also I'm really hyped for the raycon one because I kind of want them and I wanna know of its worth it, also when are you gonna review ? "Raid Shadow Legends"
I have heard that raycon are not great
A friend of mine bought them and when I tried em they sounded like ass. Like you can buy a lot better quality earbuds for cheaper than Raycon.
As a whole just don't bother with UA-cam sponsor products.
@@666Shinedown that's how I usually felt about it but good to know thanksn
ok. I went in thinking, this is going to be stupid. Then the theme music hit. And I was instantly sold.
Tactical-Tacos for the plug Skeem
I liked this, We Skeem helping us save money
As long as you keep your reviews honest like this I would trust affiliate links from you. Thank you
Burrito Butt-Stuff!!!
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!
i was just gonna say, i love the idea of ridge wallet. but then i found one from amazon for $20 instead of $120 and couldnt spot any noticeable differences in any reviews, so i bought the amazon one. havent looked at ridge wallet since.
Looks like a small lightsaber
i've never seen someone test the credit card blocking... tech youtubers where you at
I like this type of content, good video
Truly a work of art also
So....hows the zelda song going skeem? lol
Meh
@@WeSkeem To be fair i didn't ask on the last couple streams lol all good i know that stuff takes time and you don't really have much to work with as far as that beat goes
Expose them alllll
I'm curious to see your thoughts on it being somewhat worth to buy ridge since you'll most likely be helping a content creator you enjoy
Ridge is stupidly overpriced. I can't believe they're still in business. 150-200 for a wallet that costs less than 20 bucks to manufacture? Give me a break
Again with the good content
Honestly, if Ridge were that awesome, they'd see your review, respect fir the commentary, and do better on being better than its knockoffs to try and justify the price.
And then sponsor you with an updated product.
I think it comes down to a combination of "patented vs we don't care about patent laws" and "we were the original who put in the hundreds of hours of R&D, advertising, prototyping, and building a company vs we will steal intellectual property".
You have a good point. How could the situation be corrected? Stop the products at the docks, inform shop owners, how can it be stopped?
Most of the sales are online. How can that be addressed?
Thank you for your kind reply. 😊
@@kg-Whatthehelliseventhat Ehhh, I don't know what the solution is. I do like that no company can maintain a patent (I think after seven years, you lose the exclusive rights). It helps progress society and technology. If Mercedes Benz kept the idea of the automobile to himself, how much further back in technology, descoveries, trade, transport, ect., would we be?
I'd say the solution, or the first steps TOWARDS a solution, would be for customers to be informed, and hold companies responsible. And I think we are seeing that recently, with Target, Budweiser, Ben and Jerry's, ect, but that is for political/ethical reasons, not for stealing copyrights. If we, the market, are not open to intellectual theft products, then there is less demand and money to be made FROM those products. 👍
This was a fun discussion. 🍻
I don't get how people can even live with these minimalist "wallets", considering what kind of stuff I carry around in my classic wallet. Like, ID card and drivers license (both not card-sized), spare house key, organ donor signet, a ton of coins for vending machines or parking meters.. where do Ridge users put all those extra items? keep them loose in your pockets?!
Sounds like your country has issues. ID/License/organ donor status are all three on one wallet sized card in the US. Spare key is excessive to carry around, just carry one keyring. Coins are all but useless in the US, nobody carries them aside from loosely in the pocket and then convert them back to bills as soon as you have enough of them. All vending machines and meters take bills or cards.
So, your country is horridly inefficient is the issue.
Raid Shadow Legends is an ad that is heavily thrown my way
I get the feeling that Ridge probably don't even make the wallet themselves, I bet it's made in the same factory in China or wherever, as some of these other card wallets.
Let me actually do a little looking online to see what are the most common sponsors.
Loved it. Good job unscrewing with gloves on. Other products.... Um.... Because i dont think youd do the vpns or apps i'll say "hellofresh" its supposed to be a food service that brings you pre planned meals. On a weekly basis and i wanted to know if it was worth it.
No... It's not. Hellofresh is the single dumbest idea of the last fear years.
"Pre Planned Meals" they send you ingredients in a box that you have to cook your self anyways while the food is at a serious markup.
If you gotta cook the shit anyways you might as well just go to the grocery store and get the ingredients your self for a fraction of the costs and pretty much the same time spent.
@@Superintendent_ChaImers i dunno. Their prices dont seem that bad considering they give you enough for almost a whole week.
@@shadowfire8063 The problems arise when you weigh the options of what they give you.
They actually dont give you enough for a week.
The average cost is about 15 dollars per person per meal. Not including shipping mind you. The issue is with the horribly small portion sizes they send you.
So an example: You place an order for their plans. They send you 3 meals that feed between 2-4 people per week.
Seems good on paper but then the reality sinks in that because they don't send that much, you really only get enough to feed maybe 2 people instead if they're active and need the calories etc.
As opposed to simply going to the grocery store and spending the exact same amount of money and getting tons more food that actually can feed 4+ people for the week.
@@shadowfire8063 Alright, it took almost a day of bong hits and number crunching.
And the cost for a meal for 4 people for 4 meals a week. Only 4 meals for the entire week mind you is $164.98 with shipping included.
While the amount of food they give does not warrant the price.
@@Superintendent_ChaImers firstly... Mad respect for that. But! The math is currently wrong on my end since im looking at free shipping for awhile and a reduced price.
So idk how you broke down the prices but all i did was 6.18×4×4=98.88. I assume they ration it to where its only one serving per person in a worst case scenario and one meal per day. 4 ppl. 4 meals.
Btw im not disagreeing. Im just tryin to see how bad or good the deals are. Still mad respect for doin the math tho.
I got a commercial for ridge wallet before watching this video
Bigger question. Who decided these types of wallets are even needed or modern lmao. I’ll keep the old ones thanks.
More... we want more....
Background music was fun. 👍
I got a ridge wallet commercial on this video
Was gonna buy my husband a ridge for Christmas but after watching this he’s getting the $20 one from Amazon 😂
I have 2 really cheap Bluetooth earphones + a bluetooth beanie which all work perfectly and combined cost less than raycon’s
They're way to pricey.
Lol I bought a Tinin branded wallet like multi ones you see on amazon and it's just perfect and mine was on sale for like $14. Glad I got that instead of wasting 75+
BRO I GOT A RDIGE WALLET AT RIGHT BEFORE THIS
The “B” stands for “Bidge Wallet”
I need to just give you clips, Skeemster 😈
You know you gotta do it - Crypt has been making verse after verse after verse for the Lawnmower 3.0. Hell, you can get it 20% off with his discount code, support him and make some content. Hell it would be funny because Mrs. Skeem could have some feedback in there as well since she'll be the only one really able to comment on the results of how it works on your junk. Dooo iiiiit!
MANSCAPE
wait, that wallet is 75 bucks? wtf
I have so much respect to the people who put the sponsors at the end but I lose respect to people who put it in the middle so you have to watch it
i bought one for 3 eagles
Me: sees screw drivers “ha! He’ll have to do a hand reveal!!!”
Skeem: doesn’t see anything as a threat to his secret identity
Advertisement costs money.
Next: raycon
I have a ridge wallet, and I still love the video!
I'll keep my classic wallet.
I brought a knocked off for like 10 dollars .
My algorithm comment. Hope ya having a great day Skeem
I think the cost difference is in the materials used I think you'll find!
No. That is not what I will find.
@@WeSkeem
I can almost guarantee the carbon wallet you have there's not made from real carbon and if it is it's the lowest form grade carbon
I dunno. I still prefer my faux leather, worn wallet. It doesn't bother me like others say. Why in the hell would I want to put a screw driver to make my wallet work properly out the box?
Please, please do one for how bad Raid is too...
So sick of all the raid sponsorships.. they lie about a bunch of stuff as far as I can tell
Yeah I'll stick with my 5-10 dollar wallet that really isn't that big/uncomfortable.
