I have been carrying the burnt titanium wallet for 3 years with no issues. I can probably go another 3 years easy without issues as well. Very well made product. All of the straps are in good shape and the money clip is still in great condition. Extremely happy with the purchase.

Bought one about a month ago. Forged Carbon. Love it! To answer your question, I have the cash strap and think it's safer than the cash clip. Rubber studs under the strap keep the cash in place, no exceptions. Easy to use after a short while once you get used to it. Cavity tray great for carrying coins/key. Great warranty/RFID plates and pretty much bomb proof. No brainer. Little tip Daver....start using your front pocket! Elastic will last way longer. Fragrance review next please 😉👍

I thought it was designed for front pocket carry.

I've had mines for three years now and still love it. I did replace the strap money holder for the clip because the bills kept sliding around. The metal is smooth and I don't believe it'll mess up your pants pocket and scratch your phone. It would be very awkward bulge with the wallet and phone in the same pocket! After prolonged use with multiple cards the elastic strap does need to be replaced but it doesn't stretch that much. The big benefit is that it's a RFID wallet. I bought another wallet with a different design when it went on sale. Overall it's an excellent wallet and forces you to which card to carry.

Instead of fanning through the cards, try evenly pushing the cards up a bit and pinching the bottom, making all the cards spread out and become accessible. The wallet is also advertised as a front pocket wallet, so it’s normal to have issues if you are sitting on it.

I love mine. For me it’s the perfect wallet. Haven’t had any issues with the elastic. It’s tough as nails. All parts are replaceable. Small. Light. I often forget I even have it on me. Different options. I’ve had leather wallets fail/pockets and linings rip - you won’t get that with this. It’s secure. Access is easy once you get your technique down. What’s not to like? :)

I’ve not tried the Ridge, but other similar metal wallets. One thing I found is keeping it in my back pocket would over time wear down the fabrics and show marks. Something to maybe look out for. I’m more interested in checking out the other wallet you mentioned now!

I’ve had my Ridge wallet for around 8+ years and love it. Nothing comes close. I have the cash strap version and it holds cash, receipts and/or cards with no issues whatsoever. I’ve replaced the elastic maybe once in that time. A plastic version would just not work IMO, too weak etc. Yes an ID window would be nice but how many times do you get asked for ID and are allowed to just show it from your wallet? Like never?!

I’ve had my black leather wallet for 12 years. I’d bet my life you used the warranty at least a few times. These break with careful use after a year (most reviewers report clips or whatever little metal bs broken).

I'm redesigning my own like it. I am going to use carbon fiber polycarb for the center two parts, and the elastic strap using 60A flex TPU style rubber that is more curved instead of sharp angle between the left right and the up and down part. This makes the strap more durable and 3D printing means it also does not have that annoying seem. I am going to be screwing the screws from the inside, meaning that yes I am going to make a ID face for the one side and the other outside is going to have a face made to fit the "ARMOURCARD - Anti-Theft RFID Blocking Protection For Your Wallet, Purse or Passport" for an active RFID blocking instead of that passive way.

Good review. Now I haven't bought one yet. I was looking at it as a gift but after watching a gazillion reviews I still haven't figured out why it's price point is so extremely high. I'm in manufacturing business and have a pretty good idea what it would take to produce this item my math hasn't reached their pricing. I mean really it's just a metal card holder made from two pieces of thin gauge metal and some inexpensive elastic banding. A good quality leather wallet has more production time in it. Maybe someone has some ideas that I didn't think about that could warrant 100 to 250.00 for a card holder.

I bought a Jackson Wayne minimalist wallet (traditional brown) that you mentioned a years ago (actually the missus got it for me for Christmas 2017) and I friggin' love it!

I think the main problem with those are that if you have more than 2 or 3 cards, it's just too clunky to get them in and out fast and also the fact that the cards are just sliding against each other, it damages them really fast. Thin form factor is cool but it's not a really practical wallet in my opinion.

Ridge wallets seem like a good product but it is a shame that they cost way way to much money I can never imagine someone spending between £85.00 to £125.00 just for a basic wallet it however that type of wallet does fix the issues that I have with normal leather wallets that is that they only fit in quite large pockets which you may not have in the clothing you may be currently wearing as in the summer time my average dress is t shirt no pockets and light weight track pants with only small pockets which traditional leather wallets don't fit in well but Ridge type wallets do because they are smaller so following my rule when you find a product that you like that fixes one of your problems find a similar cheaper option that is what I think will kill Ridge in the end they marketed their products at the more well off they went to much with quality and exclutivity than affordability to the masses but luckily their are a quite a lot of companies out their that make way way cheaper copies that do the same job.

I can't believe how much space was wasted on a leather bifold wallet.

I'm hoping to make a product that would help with your everyday carry items.
