Let's see Paul Allen's billfold
Tasteful
.... It even has a watermark
@@Cyfix15 I have a slightly better haircut
Do you like Huey Lewis and the news?!

I already had the Supr Slim and I also have their bi fold Supr Slim is very nice, I really like the Bellroy you featured in this video, may need to pick that one up. Great video.
Gotta love the Distil Unions Flay Lat design! Great round-up! Thanks.
i seriously thought i was the only one
I had go rewind to make sure I didn't hear that wrong 😅
Same here. Thought it was something new and exciting.
Great choices, personally the best wallet I've ever owned has been the Big Skinny Bi-fold Brown Top Grain Leather
Just get a secrid. Rocking it for many years and it’s still awesome
I own the pioneer molecule cardholder and it’s lived up to my expectations
Same, I love mine.
How long have you been using it for?
Went with the Ridge. No complaints
8m45s “snap shut Flay Lat design” lol thought I was tripping for a second 😂
Great video
Hi love your review! Just wondering if you can fit a AirTag inside the Bellroy Flip Case?
woah that bellroy case is CLEAN
brilliant video
Mitchell leather makes my favorite minimalist wallet. I recomend them to everyone
I'll stick with my tyvek bifold, super thin and sturdy. The one from giaco whatever has ruler, its come in handy more than I ever thought.
I’m really loving my magsafe MOFT wallet. Does not hold a lot but that’s sorta the goal right? Having a phone stand on hand at all times is great and sticking to my phone keeps everything organized in my pocket.
Me who just bought a Flip 3 instead of a wallet with stand: 🤡
@@F30_Hellion me who waited 2 more months to buy the new z flip 4 instead of the 3:
Distil Union bifold was so close to greatness. The squeeze to open is great because those designs will stretch and be unable to hold smaller number of cards but the other features were a miss. The pull tabs would have been fine on their own and the magnetic snap shut is just silly
what other features did you think were a miss? curious cuz this is the one i think i want.
Because I need the function of apple airtag, I use the Minimalist airtag wallet. The brand of my airtag wallet is ONIJIA. I usually put seven cards and some cash in it, and it has been used stably for two months. I personally like the style of this wallet.
Great video! But it’s hard for me to make out the details of the black wallets with the black tshirt and background 😅
The black product on black backgrounds was probably not the best way to go about making this video. Pretty hard to make out what the products look like sometimes
when i heard that "the best thing in it is the RFID protection". :D really i would like to hear some stories when the money was stolen randomly because of the lack of "rfid"protection (means metal)
RFID technology is just fancy word play for aluminium properties. It just naturally block signals. I can achieve the same effect by wrapping my wallet around with an aluminium foil. Most scanners need you to get super close in order to get your card details.
Okay, warp your stuff in aluminum foil. There no need for a long ass rant.
@@knivesX1 she didn’t even respond.
@@knivesX1 No need for your response either...
seriously, cheap $20 card holders have that.
This is ua-cam.com/video/xcGm-GEBbAA/v-deo.html
That Bellroy reminds me of that 80s rubber coin purse...
Great video. I think I'm gonna opt for the ridge wallet in th end. The other wallets seem freat but I'm vegetarian and using leather is a no go.
My pick would be Bellroy Card Sleeve. I'm surprised it’s not in this video
Great choices, my personal favorite though is the XSTO wallet from Akeeni, I have been using that for more than a year, and I don’t think I’ll ever need another wallet.
XSTO looks pretty damn cool
@hiconsumption, I am shocked you don't have Secrid Wallets on your list. I've owned 75% on the wallets on your list and have found the Secrid wallet to be the best.
Secrid was for sure considered for this list. Those are probably the best wallets coming out of Holland right now.
Nothing beats the Harber London RFID Card Holder. The most practical and gorgeous wallet I've ever owned. Highly recommend it.
Flay lat design, I like
I'm really liking that bi-fold
Commenting for algorithm.
Actually nah, Ima rant lol. Great video, thank you for condensing all this info and coverage into an easily digestible video.
I mean the artistic camera shots, set design, lighting and editing. Wide range of product to suit every style, detailed reviews narrated with just the right amount of reviewer opinion. Time stamps on the slider bar to easily navigate past a wallet that's not your style and links directly to the products.
SERIOUSLY, tell me what else you could have or want in a review. I think this might literally be perfext.
Nice video, although I would like it a bit brighter to actually see the details of the items.
Ikr. Wearing black, shooting on a black bg, showing a dark colored wallet. Couldn't see shit.
The Ridge is like £80. A bit steep for two bits of metal and some elastic in my opinion
ua-cam.com/video/4DGGZd8HLUg/v-deo.html
mine is becoming 6 year old and still new beside losing 1 bolt screw. its 80 dollar but i used to buy a (30euro) normal leather wallet that broke after a year, so ... i would do it again
@@oliverjanssen Agreed. Ridge lasts forever. I've had 2 in 10 years. Only bought the second because i had to have a newer version.
I bought a similar style wallet for only $20. There are a lot of ridge copies now available which work just as good
Aliexpress has decent 11 dollar ones. There's a review elsewhere.

First time viewer and i like the commentary but i found myself fast forwarding to see if i can actually see the wallet but the black on black made it impossible to see. QQ
Off topic question: What kind of watch are you wearing?
"The Pioneer wallet is the result of ten years of R&D". People build cars and airplanes in that kind of timeline.
8:44 - Don’t ya mean “lay flat???” Lol!
Great video.
What kind of watch is that??
same question
what's the name of the watch he was wearing in the video?
What watch is that in video? 🔥
My supr slim wallet broke just after warranty period. Good idea but the stitching is not the best quality
any thoughts on the zclip?
Anyone catch the Flay Lat design at 8:42?
Those that are made of leather get loose pretty fast . And the cards don’t snug in anymore .. could easily slip out . Especially if u don’t have enough cards to stretch it
THIS! I never see people talking about this. Ever. This is the only reason that I have to use something like a Ridge Wallet.
What watch are you wearing??
Cool, black wallets on black background ...
I like the belroy wallet
What watch are you wearing? Looks nice!
same question
Hamilton Khaki Field King Black watch?
8:42 Snap shut Flay-lat design 😂
I hit my brightness on the highest level but the video is extremely dark and sometimes you just see a silhouette of what you're trying to show
Ekster is gorgeous and lovely to the touch; yet my personal experience is that the mechanism broke in less than 14 days. For such an expensive wallet that was pathetic.
In the 3 years Iv had mine the first one broke at the year mark the trigger mech broke so they gave me a discount for my second one and my rubber strip that keeps the cards in place broke, Iv been thinking about switching
@@ryans4529 thanks for sharing. What is your choice now?
well i mean you did buy a wallet with moving mechanical parts....
@@freshandsaltyjohnny So does that mean that it should break quickly? So when you buy anything mechanical we should be fine with it breaking since it has mechanical parts. Instead of spending thousands on marketing, they should spend money on making it more reliable.
@@herc34es that is not a good business model for them as they are more interested in the part breaking and giving you a discount to buy a new wallet. Business economics 101. That model alone i will stay away from. I'm leaning towards those ridge wallets to purchase for myself.
i use cash a lot .. i dont have credit cards.. i have other cards to carry..what best wallet for cash?
A fanny pack haha
Kunpairn wallet is better one with 14 pocket and 4 external pocket for quickly access.
You can make the super slim wallet for about 25 cents from Michael’s or hobby lobby and a sewing machine
Yes. The wallet industry really is a ripoff. For 5 or 10 years, I've been using nothing but rubber bands (around a stack of cards and some folded cash.... the best rubber bands are the ones that are put around brocolli stems for shipping or in grocery stores - because they are the perfect length, and are wide).. But I'm thinking about finding/making something like you mention, because the cards on the outside eventually get dirty, and if I sweat a lot, the cash gets wet.
@@JumpingWatermelons tf is wrong with you
@@larsb.1972 🤓😂😂
"A snap-shut, flay lat design" lol
8:45 "flay lat" lol
where is the aviator slide wallet?
The ekster looks exactly what i've been after but i've seen some comments (here and elsewhere) that the mechanism is somewhat unreliable. is there another wallet like that thats a little more reliable? Im looking for around 10 cards, small area for a bit of cash and thin.
Secrid
@@JK-up7vz cheers thanks mate, I'll look into it!
@@JK-up7vz just looked into it, Secrid Slim wallet is exactly what im after! Going to purchase, thanks again
I wish ridge would make a leather version even if it’s just like leather covered it would be nice if they could do that
They just did lol
Bellroy starting to grow on me
I didn't know you guys had a UA-cam channel
Just launched it in October of last year.
If you're carrying a card-only wallet and spending cash, it's too easy to pull both out of your pocket forget about the wallet.. That's how mine got stolen. What is more important than the wallet itself is where and how you carry it.
Super Slim: just under $20 for a 5in piece of elastic.
Joking aside, thanks for the info.
Seriously. It practically IS a rubber band
None of these replace my current wallet. I need some storage to carry a 25c coin (cz i need that to use carts in some grovery stores), storage for a sim ejecter tool. I don't feel comfortable carrying my cash wrapped around a band and everytime I take it out everyone can see what i am carrying. All i need is a wallet that pops out cars where i dont have to struggle to get the right card out with a stretchable pocket that can house some bills, a coun and a sim ejector tool. And for gods sake dont make $100.
Dango has the best wallets ever made.
A whopping extra millimeter (2:53)? Are you serious? good introduction of brands.
belroy
black t-shirt works
super
20 dollars for a rubber band. lol
Great video. But where is Secrid?
"Features a snap shut flay lat design" FLAY LAT LOL
metal wallets always wear a hole in my pocket
I'm surprised it didn't even get an honorable mention but I think The Smith Wallet engineered by Hacksmith is the nicest edc wallet on the market.
Every video is like an apple ad
look for foxc wallet
My recycled kevlar sail wallet weighs nothing and is a lot more convenient than these card carriers which relegates cash to clumsy access at best.
Loving your EDC setup, and I love the community of people too. I've made my own EDC video, and would love if anyone would be able to give insight on what I could improve ✨
Thank you for all of your time! Have a good week ahead everyone! 😊😊😊
If only Bellroy was affordable
with time you'll get there man
I got mine for Christmas lovvvveeeee it! Well worth the money
Funny enough the leather case they sell for my niche budget phone is like a quarter of the price lmao
Man you really can regurgitate that marketing mumbo jumbo without questioning a bit of it
Yep. My boyfriend wants a slim wallet for our anniversary and I was looking for actual reviews. I looked up the Bellroy wallet and found it interesting that most of the reviews on Amazon mention that it can't even fit half the cards it advertises as being able to hold. Not to mention some of these look like bricks that would be uncomfortable keeping in your back pocket 😅
Ah well, I guess the search continues for some youtuber that is genuinely reviewing these products and not just trying to see them and get money through affiliate links in the bio or something.
8:45 am I the only one who caught "flat lat design"
darn you beat me to it
Sorry, but I think its silly that they are calling some of these basic two slot wallets "luxurious" as they have $10 wallets better on Amazon. lol!
Is it just me or is the parliament the same size as a normal wallet
8:44 “flay-lat” design.
secrid wallet is still the best wallet for me.
Hello, I am a professional wallet maker, I can give you a wallet and I hope you can take a video as a reward. Are you interested?
Facts. Got the card holder with rainbow moneyband, and the one with the wallet
And not made in china. Made in the netherlands.
If the cards fall out, simple tip. Keep it above boiling water, the red fabric on the inside will expand again. (:
THE FIRST ONE IS JUST SOME FUCKING ELASTIC MATE!
What’s the point of a
wallet made of material 10x stronger than steel?
So you can chuck it at your enemies?
Drive over it so none of the contents will be destroyed, like the other guy said, bout to get robbed throw it at his face, bash it in his face 🤷🏻♂️ bragging rights.
Yeah, my gf constantly points that out to me. The real idea is just that it's sturdy as all hell and will never break, rip, or fail, like seriously ever. I like knowing I'll have it for the rest of my life.
@@timhuber1780 i believe the armored summit would meet or exceed your expectations for reliability and serviceability.
Hershel?
Agree. The ridge is really expensive and made in China. Our wallets are handmade in the USA and are hands down better than the Ridge wallets in every way, and about $30 less expensive.
Go easy on crushing the black please, it’s bothering that I have to go 100 brightness just to watch your vids.
Your description link never work ☠️
Get a secrid mines last me years
Flipside is the best wallet.
This might have been more enlightening had you used better lighting.
Aviator is a cup holder
HICONSUMPTION: dude you seriously should reconsider filming jet black colored wallets against jet black shirt & black backgrounds. HORRIBLE zero contrast result on film esp when trying to SHOW something. I'm looking closely to purchase a couple slim wallets, and literally switched YT channels without even finishing the vid because of this :/
Patrick Bateman watching it somewhere
Black wallets with a dark / black background.. why make it so hard to see them?
Trove missing
the products and all are good but just use some colors in the video, the wallets are black, and so is the background and your shirt, super confusing and non-contrasty even on big displays.
a rubber band from clothes that cost hundred dollars with metal plate addons
Dark wallets with black background makes it hard to see
