Bryker HydeSlim Vertical Bifold RFID Blocking Full Grain leather Wallet for Men, Front Pocket, Bill/Receipt pocket and Pull Tab Card Slot (Charcoal Black w/Pull Out Card Pocket)

Leather is super-thin, and the whole thing feels like it would blow away in a light breeze.It has cellophane/paper crinkling between a plastic and leather layer. Feels only maybe 1/2 leather by weight, and the rest plastic/cardboard/paper. The leather is super-thin like I could just about punch a hole through it with my finger. Even behind the card slots, corners were cut, as it's thin-crinkly plastic instead of leather. I have no idea how that will hold up over time.It came in a nice sturdy box, and a beautifully elegant black canvas draw-string bag and wrapped in printed/branded tissue paper. If only as much attention went into building a quality product, as it did the packaging and stamping a fancy shiny brand name on every little part.Maybe for the price, it's reasonable, as my current one that's showing it's age was quite a bit more, but maybe I'm over-critical here and spoiled with higher-end things and forgot how good the one is that I already have.On a positive note, though, it's one of the few that have the cards facing inward so there's no chance of them falling out. It's hard to find a bi-fold wallet with that feature anymore, which is why I bought this.I think at this point, I'll return it and use that money to buy a leather working kit, and make a nice one.

Waited one month to review this wallet to allow for "break in". Comparable features on this Bryker Hyde "Quick Draw" wallet as described on the B/H web site are difficult to find. Wallets are always a personal choice, and for me this bifold fits "the bills" perfectly. Yes, it's deeper than conventional bifold wallets that hold cards horizontally, but there is much less chance of cards falling out when it's not in your pocket. BTDT. I had no problem getting used to the bill compartment depth and width, although putting in soft and worn out bills straight and unfolded may be somewhat difficult. To me it just feels safer having currency fit more snug long as you're not carrying more bills and cards that this wallet is designed for. Only criticism I have is the ID window is translucent and can be difficult to see through in certain lighting conditions. Easy to remove the ID. Build quality is superb and I believe I found a wallet I can live with for a very long time.

I was looking for a slim wallet that would fit large denomination euro notes. This one fits the bill. The wallet is nicely put together and has 2 quick access credit card slots on the outside. My only negative is the the first credit card slot on the opposite side of ID window. This one is shallower than the other credit card slots so your card sticks out a little bit more than cards in other slots. I currently leave this slot empty since there are enough card slots for me without using this one.2/10/18 - Just came back from 8 day work trip to Italy. The outer card slots came in handy when paying numerous tolls on the Italian Autostrada. The card readers on the Autostrada did not do too well with metal credit cards, so I carried two plastic credit cards on the outside card slots and easily whipped them out without opening the wallet. In the dark of night, it was all done by feel. Very nice design. The wallet held up very well in my front pocket of Docker pants and all cards stayed in their place. Nice wallet!

I originally loved this wallet when I first began using it just days after receiving it in the mail. Now, after 5 months of daily use, I am less intrigued by it and find it to be quite flimsy and it has even ripped in a few places. One tear is in one of the card slots and seems to have developed from the simple daily handling of the card (taking it in and out of the slot). The other tear is in the billfold material which, quite honestly, has felt very thin and cheap to me the more I got to using the wallet during the past few months. This is a great looking wallet with a very attractive organization design for the price but, its durability and overall quality of its materials are not high quality at all.

I recently reduced the number of cards (credit & other) that I'm carrying around, and my existing bi-fold with an additional flip-out piece was 1. falling apart and 2. way too much capacity for the amount of things I'm now carrying around. I was originally eyeing the bi-fold side-flip bryker hyde as a duplicate replacement for my wallet (I have two ID cards and liked having two ID windows with my previous wallet), but ultimately realized I don't really use my second ID all that much and any wallet with the second ID window will have an additional flip-out part, which adds thickness. I considered going full-minimalist, but ultimately decided against it and purchased this wallet. I think it's the perfect bridge between a full-on minimalist card carrier and the full-size bi-fold with side flip monster. I've only used the wallet for a couple of days so far, but the construction looks to be quality and the leather looks and feels nice. It has the perfect amount of card slots for me: I have a total of 6 plastic cards, 5 paper business cards, a thicker office access keycard, 2 guitar picks, and ~8 bills and the wallet sits a little less than 3/4 inch tall.A couple of observations I've had after a weekend of use:1. I originally had my debit card in one of the exterior pockets, but i feel like the end of the card that sticks out of the pocket is going to get cracked off eventually if I leave it there. I moved it to an interior pocket. I wouldn't recommend regularly keeping any cards in the two external pockets; I will probably only use them for temporary items like hotel keycards from now on.2. Bills are a little difficult to stuff into the bill pocket. Typical bi-fold designs come with horizontal card orientation and have plenty of end room in the bill pocket; with this wallet's vertical card orientation, it makes that pocket a much more snug fit for bills. Though I think this will get better as the wallet wears in.3. I keep an office access badge in the outside slip pocket (I think it's an RFID badge, and not NFC). I was happy to find that the card reader still picks up my badge through the wallet; I was concerned that it might not work with the RFID protections. I've read access badges use different frequencies than credit card RFID's, and that typically the "RFID blocking" wallets only work on the CC frequencies. I don't know enough about it to comment further, I don't have any RFID CC's but by access badge works through the wallet and that's a good thing for me.Overall, I'd highly recommend this wallet after first weekend of use. I don't anticipate any short-term quality issues, but I will update the review if anything abnormal happens.June 2020 update: a year later still using this wallet with no desire to switch. In fact if this one busts I'd most likely reorder the same one. It's held up well and has the perfect amount of slots for me.

Slim wallet but cards are hard to get out from the two outside slots.
