The tattoo had me laughing 😂 😂

I use a different body part to measure things accurately. It just takes a long time to do because I have to measure everything in one inch increments

As far as pulling the card(s) you need, you can push your cards with your left thumb at the groove. Then, use your other hand to start fanning the cards slightly at an angle using both hands. If done correctly, it should look like you’re holding a deck of cards. The other side of the wallet will basically hold the cards in place while they are fanned out, allowing you to pull out the card you need. The idea is to simply place the card back into the “stack” and push the fanned cards back into the wallet. This way (if I explained it correctly) won’t require you to pull all of your cards completely out of the wallet, and then, having to struggle to put them all back into the wallet.

It was nice to see you with yours still after 3 years I just recieved mine today as well as the key holder I hope mine will hold up as well as yours has after 3 years thank you again for sharing your review, I like the way you find your cards and place them back in the wallet.

thank you Richard!

I treated myself to the burnt titanium version few years back, and still use it today. 4:45 I use about 5-6 cards, but my daily takeout cards would be my debit card, and my public transit card. Those two cards would be on the outer side, so when I push the cards out slightly thru the notch and pull the single card out from the side. My ID, licence, medical cards will be on the inner side , so whenever I need that card, I push the cards slightly, and then pinch the bottom, so the cards fan out, and you just pick out the single card...easy! Hope that helps.

It's the method I use also it works very well, another idea I use is a business card both ends so no card is in contact with the metal so not to wear, they are really thin so not to take any room.

Any issues with the color inside rubbing on the cards?

Debating to order or not for myself for a "small-purse-day" so this was very helpful to see the 3-year wear-and-tear. It looked great on this rustic/rugged color that you have but not sure for Pink or floral design that I was going for. Thanks anyway and I love the tatoo!!!

that's weird, I just checked my cards and they seem to be scratch free. Maybe there was a screw lose and sticking out or something.

Cash is not supposed to slide in easily. It has ridges under the the strap to prevent money from sliding from underneath it. But that also applies when you slide money under it. It isn't going to slide in easily.

Mine is like 6 years old... I took the money clip off 4 months in and have loved it ever since. Although i might have to replace the elastic soon, i had it over stuffed for a year or so with company test badges

Same, so like I was trying to say that's why I tend to take them all out each time and grab the one I want that way.

I still use mines and it's very durable. I think I carry too much cards because when I pinch the bottom the CCs all of them pops out. I don't particularly like the cash strap because the bills slides around so I'll be replacing it with a clip instead. I don't that much cash but for larger bills I fold and place it in-between. People see all that cash and you're an easy target for robbery.

Your cash strap is not sopposed to be super smooth as the strap had tiny teeth under it to prevent cash from slipping out. There way overpriced for what you get!!

I bought one a few days ago. It went straight back. This is two pieces of metal sandwiching some plastic and all held together with three pieces of elastic. Once you put more than 4 cards in it, it is not easy to get them out. Honestly, it's the worst design wallet I've ever seen.

It’s not for everyone. I love it because I can’t tell it’s in my pocket, I have a tracker on it, it’s durable, quality is unmatched, and there’s a lifetime warranty. My current one got ran over my a car and it got completely messed up. Was still in a decent condition, but I submitted a warranty claim. They messaged me back ASAP, and gave me a huge discount on a new one because I wanted a new one. You’re not particularly paying for the minimalist wallet, you’re paying for the quality, the look, and the lifetime warranty. The company is unmatched. Yes, it’s pricey. But if you think about it, long term it’s a better investment than a traditional wallet or fake replica of this.
