VaultskinCHELSEA Mens RFID Blocking Slim Leather Card Wallet - Minimalist Front Pocket Cardholder

I have used this wallet for about two weeks and enjoy using it everyday for quick and easy transactions. The wallet is light, compact, simple, and elegant. I love the soft and smooth leather because it makes grabbing this wallet out of my pocket addicting. The small form factor is definitely convenient because it takes up much less space compared to my old bi-fold wallet and makes it much more comfortable to carry the wallet in my pockets. Additionally, the strap is really simple and fun to use. The cards come straight up and just high enough for me to splay them out and select which one to use. I often find it entertaining to just pull up on the strap when I'm bored. This wallet would definitely make for a great gift.While this wallet is awesome to use, it is not perfect. One of the drawbacks to this wallet, in my opinion, is that it can really only hold up to 5 cards in the middle pocket before it starts physically stretching out. Additionally, the wallet from my experience requires at least 4 cards in the middle sleeve in order for your cards to be secure. If you carry less than 4 cards, the cards will fall out if the wallet is held upside-down and with minimal shaking.Overall great wallet for the price, especially compared to other minimalistic wallets

6 month update- Still works great and no issues of tearing or stretching too muchPros: extremely minimal and compactEasily fit 5 cards in middle, 2 in front, and the back I use for folded cash 8 bills US and 3 quarters.RFID protected middle works I tested it on a few tap to pay machines and every time it wouldn’t scan unless I took it out of the wallet.I use the front pocket for my IDs and it doesn’t interfere with the pull strapThe pull strap works well but the elastic and some other review have me pulling it cautiously because I do imagine if you yank on it too hard or quick it could break but so far no issuesCons: the wallet does stretch to the amount of cards you put in it but I wouldn’t even call that an issue really as ALL leather wallets do that and there are some tutorials if you decide you want to go back and reduce your current card space but overall even after keeping 5 cards in it 4 still stay in place fairly well.The front pocket is very tight but that’s also a good thing because you don’t want anything falling out and if you just put your ids there you’ll rarely need it frees up space in the main slotOverall: It’s way better than any wallet I’ve had and saves on so much space in my pocket

The old wallet on the left is my wallet that I bought back in 2017 and it’s the same wallet that I just bought (new one on the right). It was a great quality wallet and still had a bunch of life left to it but sadly the strap to pull the cards out snapped so I wasn’t able to get my cards out after.I highly recommend this wallet if you are looking for something that is good quality, fairly simple, and affordable. I loved it so much, I had to buy a new one!

CONS:- The more cards you put in, the looser the wallet becomes- Leather stretches out easily and doesn't return to its' original shape- Placing the wallet upside down can cause all the cards to slide and fall out from the inner pocket, and this is especially noticeable when you hold a lot of cards initially, then hold fewer cards later (the leather stretches out and doesn't return to original shape)PROS:- Very lightweight, slim and portable- The strap tab has held up well (this may vary for others, don't pull aggressively)- Looks very nice- Relatively high capacity for cards (about 7 in the inner pocket, 2 in the front pocket, and 3 in the back pocket; be mindful that the more cards you store, the more lose the wallet becomes)I've used this for a year and it's held up reasonably well. The biggest issue is that cards may fall out especially if you downsize the number of cards you carry later on. Be mindful to not aggressively pull the strap tab, that will damage the wallet over time.

This is my second one however not even a year old and the elastic strap broke. The last wallet like this I had for almost 2 years before the elastic broke.

Very minimalist wallet. Real leather. Great idea for the pop-up of cards in the middle slot. However, it did not work for me. I found I can only insert 1 card in the slot below the pull. The card was hard to manage from retrieving. I didn't want the challenge of trying to pull the card out when I need it. The side pouch was the easiest. The middle part was rigid and fit 2-3 cards.

Decent quality durable wallet.

This wallet fit great in a front pocket, and this wallet was the first wallet to get me to change from my old bulky one. I carry my id and main payment cards, all the other reward cards I uploaded to my phone.

EDC wallet functions well and great colour (green) for the first 2 years and then the tab/strap ripped and I can no longer pull the cards out of the main section...at $79 you'd expect it to last at least another 2 years.
