    I bought mine in 2015. No problems at all besides the elastic card holder that loosened a bit after 7-8years. Since I bought mine before they provided lifetime warranty and my elastic bands are different when they first started making them, they honored my purschase and offered to send me a new wallet for free! Awesome company.

    For those who fear the screws coming out. Put some red threadlocker on the threads of the screws (dont need much) And screw back in. They will stay in through vibrations and normal use. Yet you can still remove them with a little extra effort. And I would buy 2 extra cash straps to have on hand just in case they stop making them. The carbon fiber covers are naturally extremely scratch resistant from my experience. I work in construction so aluminum isn't my gig. I'm certain it would get dinged and bent. The titanium would be even more resistant but as an Electrician I shy away from metals in general for obvious reasons. So thats why I went with the Carbon Fiber one.

    There are ppl who enjoy Hermès, Gucci, Goyard, Cartier & LV wallets. While those may be nice wallets I’m sure price point isn’t an issue for the ppl who buy & enjoy them. When it comes to me personally the most is ever spend for a wallet is probably two hundred bucks. So I could be in the % of consumer intended for ridge who knows. But what I do know is I love my Ridge wallet. Had the forged carbon for 2+yrs now & it might be time to finally invest in the Titanium Stonewashed or the Forged Ember.

    Im thinking of getting one of these wallets but there's a couple of things I don't like bout it, if you wanna take the middle note out you have to take the whole cash out. And same with the cards, if you want the middle card you have to take out all the cards. I guess you could take only the middle card if you try and push the middle card up then take it out but too much hassle. I'm undecided atm.

Since I live here in New Zealand and I only ordered them a few days ago and also due to delays in air mail due to COVID-19, they haven't arrived yet, but based on the reviews I've been watching, I'm thinking I probably should have gotten the Grip6 wallet instead but I'll wait and see how well the Ridge wallets work for myself.

    I have had mine for a year or so, maybe a bit less. I really like it, the size is unbeatable. Getting cards out of it can be a pain though, particularly the cards in the middle of the stack. I have to push all of the cards out in some cases to get to the middle cards, which is a pain to deal with and putting the cards back is also a pain if you are in line some where checking out.

    I want to get one for my husband for his birthday. He has paper id cards in his wallet now, would he still be able to use the wallet for that purpose? Thank you!

    I suspect it will not bend in your back pocket. It's very strong

    It’s not a wallet, it’s two bits of metal held together with an elastic band

    By Websters definition it is: A pocket-sized flat or folding case for holding money and plastic cards.
