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

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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!
"Features a snap shut flay lat design" FLAY LAT LOL

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.
