Quality Wallet at a low price.
July 21, 2017
My old trifold wallet had fallen apart so I thought I would try this one. It is the Alpine Swiss Bifold Trifold Hybrid. Unlike most bifold wallets where there is a center section for extra cards (usually made of plastic that falls apart in a year) the Hybrid's third section is made of leather that is sown onto the end of the right outside edge of the wallet. This gives the wallet one extra panel of credit card slots and on the front side a space to put your Drivers License or ID card that is easy to see and easy to get out. When the wallet is open to show the ID, there are two panels of credit cards that are not visible. This is where I keep my credit/debit and health cards. There is one panel for cards that is visible with the ID showing. I keep my AAA, gym card and electronic keys here. Behind each credit card panel is a pocket where you could put additional items (business cards, foreign currency?). These are the features I like. Now for the negatives: first with the credit card slots full there is no way that this will be a slim wallet, second, the money pocket is not deep enough for the currency to disappear completely. With only fourteen bills in the money compartment the edges showed.Bottom line I consider this a quality wallet at a great price especially for those who have numerous cards.
Re-gifted to myself
July 20, 2017
Got it as a gift for my brother's birthday in September. I dropped my other minimalist wallet at a parking lot after lunch. It was then stolen and the thieves tried to buy $1,600 worth of merchandise from Neeman Marcus. So knowing I had this wallet as a future gift I took it out of the packaging and started using it. It's good quality for $15 and looks nice and stylish. For the money it's a stylish and attractive gift. If I could have any complaints it really has too many plastic card slots. I usually only have 4 cards: Costco, California DL, ATM card and Credit card.My brother on the other hand has one of those 3" thick wallets with every possible card, metro card, 10 credit cards, gate card, bus card, business cards etc. so I'm ordering another wallet as a gift for him. In regular brown.
Leather will stretch! It is a tight fit new for a reason!
July 9, 2017
Perfect wallet. Holds all of my cards without any problems. At first the slots were a bit tight and the wallet would not close on it's on, but that's leather for you. It will stretch and set with use. After a mere two weeks this wallet closes just fine and the cards I use the most are now sliding in and out without a problem.I'm not sure why all the bad reviews about cards not fitting... I guess people do not understand how leather works. I just hope it doesn't continue to wear down. As of now the wallet is perfect and for the price you cannot beat it.
Great quality, great price. My second Alpine Swiss wallet.
January 10, 2017
This is my second Alpine Swiss wallet. The first one lasted about 2 1/2 years. Considering how poorly I treat wallets, that's saying something! The previous one went through the wash several times, was left out in the sun (and rain, at least once) and was always over stuffed with cards, receipts, etc.My initial impression is that this wallet is built really well. All the seams and creases are tight and clean. Cards are a little snug when you first put them in, but after about a week everything feels comfortable. This is my first "hybrid" tri-fold, but I think I can get used to it pretty quickly. The only concern I have is how much the metal logo protrudes from the leather. On my last wallet that piece came off fairly early. Again, I abuse my wallets, but still something that could be a concern. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and will probably buy another Alpine Swiss when the time comes.
Perfect fit
July 15, 2016
Finally a wallet without all the unusable add ins that just take up space and make your wallet huge. This has just the right proportions and just the right amount of card holders to make it perfect. I have used many wallets and this one with the soft feel of the leather and sleek design make it my favorite by far. I get it has to have the logo somewhere on there but maybe not in metal and on the front. Do not really like sitting on it but it sill is a huge improvement from the competition. I am glad I bought this when I did and will buy another when it wears out.Pros:LeatherSleekSoftHolds cards snug and just rightNo extra stuff that no one usesPerfect fitCons:Little logo should be stitched in and not be metal
I Won't Buy Another Wallet After Owning This!!
January 14, 2016
I've only had this a month so far and I am very pleased. It is exactly what I needed. I have lots of cards to carry around and this allows me to keep all my credit cards out and about, my gas cards tucked under one section and my misc cards under the other section. It was an added bonus to have the divider where the bills go so I can put reciepts in there. I have read other reviews that claim it falls apart in six months. If it does, oh well. For under $20 I have no problem buying another one and starting over as this is EXACTLY what I have been needing!

What a great wallet replacement for the aspiring minimalist
September 2, 2017
What a great wallet replacement for the aspiring minimalist! I say aspiring because I still carry upwards of 15 cards on me, but that's ok! The Radix One can handle it, and it still is easy to use, while looking stylish! Just slide the cards forward, pinch the bottoms of the sides together, carefully so as not to unintentionally start a game of pick-up, and select your card. When done, just reverse and back in the pocket it goes. No bulky feel in the front pocket and I'm sure it can fit into nearly any other pocket, save for that useless little coin pocket in the front...what's up with that, anyway? Do people still carry coins in there? Heck, it almost fits in there, too! Asked about by, and recommended to, many people in the few months I've had it.
One of the Best Waller Alternatives
March 21, 2017
Really good wallet alternative if you really like being on the go. This product was recommended by a friend of mine when I was on SoCal and I thought at first it was some type of holder. A few months later he linked me this product and told me that was the wallet he was using, so then and there, I opened up the the idea because as a wallet user, I like the idea I can take cash and lots of slots to put cards, but the traditional wallet was being an eye-soar for me. Also, I'm the type of person who puts the wallet on the front pockets, and my other wallets weren't lasting more than a few years. So I gave this wallet a chance; I don't carry cash anyway, I usually pay with debit or credit, and I really love it. So much that if I see a person with the same problem, I would tell them its time to ditch the traditional wallet like this one here.
I hate it when someone slows the payout line when I ...
December 7, 2016
I use it to keep the cards I use most often. Takes less time and trouble to get the one I want to use at any given time. And helps keep my wallet less bulky and leaves more room in my wallet for important cards and documents I must carry to do my job. I carry my wallet in my front left pocket and it was getting way too bulky and difficult to dig it out and shuffle through everything looking for a card to pay for fuel or a meal,etc.. I now carry this card holder in my right front pocket. At first it was kind of strange to have it there but I quickly got used to it and the time it saved while in line to pay for whatever I may be purchasing is a huge convenience for myself as well as the other customers waiting in line to pay for their stuff and move on with their lives. I hate it when someone slows the payout line when I am in a hurry, I'm sure other people were just as upset with me when I caused the line to slow up while digging through my bulky wallet for a card too. Now it is a smoother, faster process for me (you welcome everyone in a hurry or impatient waiting in line). I carry 5 cards and a room key and I love this thing. Highly recommend it to anyone tired of fumbling through a huge bulky wallet. If you try it you will like it.
Crafted to the finest.
December 4, 2016
I was at school and when I took my wallet out some kid asked me man what is with your wallet its so old and looks like a 5th graders. It just so happened to be completely worn out and ripped on both sides and half cut up. Also I had it since I was in 5th grade. So yes he was right however I have learned that one thing that I really do love is making sure I am in style, and in style this is. Its a sleek modern design crafted perfectly. This wallet is so small and perfect for the on the go person that it makes my like 10 times easier because I don't have to carried what looks like a brick in my back pocket. This wallet really does hold as many cards as it says and it just amazing how well it works out, I even us the back to hole cash for when I need it as there's just those days when you don't want to pull your card out, or you forget it somewhere. But one thing is for sure, this wallet is perfect for the modern day male who wants to look and feel professional.
Great Wallet!
November 19, 2016
I got tired of sitting on a big bulky wallet all day and decided to go the front pocket route. This wallet is about as simple as you can get. It's also durable and reliable. I have been using it now for just shy of 1 year. I usually have about 7-9 cards in it and have not had any issues. The rubber band has not loosened at all and I have never had a card drop from it. It's also small enough that I don't really notice it in my pocket.The only complaint I have, is that it can be a bit of pain to get certain cards. I try to keep my least used cards in the middle and put my most often used ones on the outside.
I was very much surprised with how much I like this wallet!
October 26, 2016
I had a friend from work suggest this wallet for me. I wasn't sure at first, the whole idea of not having everything in its own individual pocket is pretty weird. The problem is I'm a student nurse and while I do have pockets capable of handling a full size wallet, it either slips out rather easily when I sit down (my back pockets) or is so obscene in scrubs it makes it look like I'm a little too "happy" to see my patients (hip pockets). So I bought this and gave it a try. It fits in my hip pocket rather nicely. It's small and compact (to the point I often forget it's actually in my pocket) but I never felt that it slipping out was a danger. Theoretically you can use the silicon band to keep cash with you, however I have not tried this (It is pretty rare that I carry cash and I have not encountered a reason/need to do so since I purchased this wallet). It comfortably fits at least 7 cards (that's what I have condensed my wallet down to anyways) but I do feel that it could easily accommodate another 2-3 cards. I have grown to love this thing. Even when wearing normal clothes I carry this in my front pocket. It's slim, easy to handle, and very unobtrusive.

Good wallet for carrying less credit cards!
August 23, 2017
This is a good wallet. I have had the same brand and type before. The only issue is that you cannot put standard size credit cards on every slot. They are a bit snug. There are three segments for credit cards with 4 slots in each. The segment behind the photo ID slot is the worst. The top two slots are OK, but the bottom two are useless. But over all it is a good wallet and you should not be carrying that many credit cards anyway!!
Sturdy
July 1, 2017
If you find this review helpful, or not then please hit either of the buttons below :D *This is an unbiased reviewI've had this wallet for a few months now, and it's still intact which is great. My wallet doesn't really go through hell and back though, so I'm not sure it will stay intact for users who work in construction, or in harsh environments.Overall its sturdy, and gets the job done.
Nice material, lots of storage, but thick
June 7, 2017
Having had this for about a week, my initial impression is that the leather looks and feels like good quality. There is a ton of storage on this wallet, enough for 12 cards in the individual slots, plus room for more cards under each fold, plus the clear plastic display. The downside of all this storage is that it definitely makes a Costanza wallet. Between IDs, loyalty cards, and credit cards, I only have 10 cards in mine, so not even near capacity, and it's sitting at 1 1/4 inches thick.
Was on sale for $15 and was a good bargain at that price
March 5, 2017
Meets expectations. It's a wallet so it's hard to get five star excited about it. Was on sale for $15 and was a good bargain at that price; wouldn't have paid the list price of $50. I got the blue and have gotten several compliments on the color. Seems to be holding up well after a month. I hardly ever carry cash and only carry my license, garage card, insurance cards, three debit cards and a credit card so more than enough room. It's actually bigger than I thought from the pics, I thought it would be more cardholder size but it's a full size wallet. Took about two weeks to smush down and look like it wasn't going to flop open even with the little I have in it. Overall I'm happy with it but I didn't have high expectations. My feeling is that it would not satisfy a "wallet snob" lol
Almost perfect...
June 27, 2016
Has a retail price card from Alpine Swiss inside when opened that lists it as $49. I believe it. It's actually a very nice wallet, and it will probably hold up for many years! My only grip is that it's a bit on the large side, so when I wear board shorts or anything without a back pocket, it awkwardly sticks out of my pocket and I'm afraid I'm going to lose it. But the price is right; the quality is there...just wish it was a bit smaller.
8 Card Slots and Fits in Front Pants Pocket
March 24, 2016
I was looking for a card holder with 8 slots, able to fit in a front pants pocket. This is a wallet with 12 slots and a standard wallet 'pocket' for bills. Th 8 slots work fine with 2 cards in each slot. each panel with the slots has an opening behind it for other cards. The other 4 card slots are on a flip out panel which has an id holder on the other side and a end opening for yet another pocket. With all this excess (for my needs), the wallet is small enough to fit in a front pants pocket without being too thick. I have other items which have only 6 slots and I wanted 8. This one is doing the job and I hope it holds up over time.

Not a bad one for every day use
November 4, 2017
I kinda like it. I have been using this for almost a year now. I do not need to carry any cash so this is helpful. Whenever I need to carry cash I just slip some under the rubber band. This makes the band a bit loose for a few days. So far didn't have much problem with that though. I won't recommend putting more than one folded currency note in there.I have uploaded some images to show you the scale.After using this Slim wallet with 4 or 5 cards for long, the rubber band will become loose. Later on, if you reduce the number of cards by 2 or more, be careful since the wallet won't be tight enough to hold the remaining cards anymore. You may have to give the band some time to reduce its size so that it can hold the reduced number of cards again.Overall this slim wallet world good for me.
Not bad
October 6, 2017
Quality is good for the price. I have about about 8 cards in it and not too much trouble getting cards out after a little bit of a learning curve. Not really confident that the band will be secure enough for cash however. I’m thinking the aluminum Rocco wallet may be a better deal. The design is very similar and only a couple of dollars more, although I haven’t personally tried one.Cash issue aside, the materials seem to be good quality and it feels like the band will hold up for quite a while. The fact that the plates are made of plastic lends a somewhat cheap feel to the wallet however.
Everyday wallet
September 24, 2017
This is a great wallet that won't set you back a ton of money. There are a couple issues to be mindful of though. The first is that if you use more than the first card on each side you're basically taking everything out to get to other cards. I have my main debit card on one side and license on the other. That works most days but if I need to pull anything else out it's a pain. The other issue is that your first debit card gets the paint rubbed off when it's facing the plastic. These are small issues to me for the price and quality/durability of the product which is why I still think it's 4 stars.
It works fairly well now...
August 15, 2017
It works fairly well now. Thin, useful and stylish.I'm afraid that the rubber band will not last long term. Now it is somewhat difficult to get cards out of the wallet. But my fear, yet unrealized, is that the rubber band will stretch and I will be not be able to keep my cards help in. But I think when that day comes, (or doe snot come) I'll just add or remove a card or two to match the stretching of the band.
A new trend in the making?
April 19, 2016
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:The Radix One came in a light and classy looking box and when my boyfriend took it out, my first impression was "It's so little." I honestly think it's one of the most useful things I have ever thought to get for him since he rarely carries a lot of cash around and mostly deals with his cards.DURABILITY:Had it for a couple of weeks now. He's dropped it a couple of times and none of the cards or the cash seem to budge from the wallet which is great. The material is also very light but it doesn't seem cheap enough to have dents from those falls.EASE OF ACCESS:So far, we've inserted around 9 cards and it's holding up pretty well. It's really snug, we just have a little bit of a struggle pulling the ones in the middle out but it'll take just a couple of seconds. Ladies, you might be able to compare this amount of time to the amount of time it takes to unzip, find, and slide out your card from your long zipper wallets.OTHER KINKS:I think it'll take a bit of getting used to and if you like feeling your wallet on your butt, this isn't the wallet for you. Also, color wise, if you have black seats, I would suggest not getting the entirely black one since it's difficult to look for and blends in with almost anything.VALUE FOR PRICE: 10/10The price isn't intimidating enough that if you don't like it, you'll regret buying it. More like if you don't like it, you can put it back in the box, wrap and save for Christmas to give to someone who might appreciate it better than you do. It's a preference thing. Nothing wrong with the product.OVERALL: I would give it a 4. It looks modern and trendy. It's space efficient. It doesn't break bank.
Got it in hopes of eliminating the big wallet in my hip pocket...
February 25, 2016
I decided to try this style of "wallet" on the recommendation of a mentor. Because my work requires that I drive quite a bit, my regular wallet starts bothering my hip. Here are my pros and cons:PROS1. Does not need to go in a hip pocket2. Compact so it takes up little space in a front pocket3. It comfortably and securely holds 2 ID's, 2 credit cards, 2 insurance cards, and a hunting license4. Holds a few bills of cashCONS:1. Might be better if it had a center divider within to hold cash on the inside rather than the outside strap

It lasted a year.
August 4, 2017
I hate to leave a bad review. However I bought this for my husband in JULY 2016. As of today we bought him a new wallet. It did stand up well to his constant abuse of it. He's a card collector. And he packs so much in it. So I suppose for light use it'd be okay but for someone who is constantly trades business cards, or grabs business cards almost nearly everywhere he does it wasn't going to work well. The only thing that ripped really was the clear plastic bit over the ID.
Too small
April 6, 2017
Individual slots for cards were a bit small, having to force cards in which results in difficulty getting card out when needed. Could not use all available slots (12) as wallet would not close. Even using only 9 of the slots, wallet will not close completely. Wallet works best with only identification and a few bills.
Christmas cookies folks. It's a wallet. Get the basics right!
January 31, 2017
Nice-looking, but regrettable. The one thing you need in a wallet in a plastic society is to make sure your plastic cards have a place to go. One of the three sections of this wallet actually had the pocket width to put a card in without having to fold it in half. The other two....just hope you don't need to use "those" cards that were destined to be cramed into. I generally do not carry a multi tool i my pocket to prise them loose. Really...MAKE ALL THE SLOTS WIDE ENOUGH TO PUT A CREDIT CARD IN!!!!!!!!! Is is more complicated than that? Even the one section that they fit is WAY too tight. The pho cards that are preinstalled in the wallet are narrower than a normal credit card. So is this supposed to fool us into believing that this slots of the correct size? Fail ! Maybe I got a defective wallet. I can understand that because 13,000 other folks who has reviewed this wallet already find it fine.
Wrong sized
January 15, 2017
Have been carrying an Alpine Swiss wallet for over three years. Would not have had to order another if the window covering the ID had not cracked. My recent purchase appears to have the same good quality leather, but it is almost impossible to insert credit cards in the card slots. Appears that the manufacturer reduced the overall length of the wallet by about 3/8th of an inch making the card slots more narrow. Cracked one of my credit cards trying to force into the slot. Previous Alpine Swiss would get 5 stars, current model not so.
Credit card slots are way too tight.
November 27, 2016
I ordered this to replace an Alpine Swiss wallet I purchased several years ago that had worn out.The bill compartment on that wallet had torn away from the seams.You can't expect a wallet at this price to last more that a few years. There is a difference in that wallet and this one. The one from several years ago was made of a soft lambskin. This is a stiffer leather. I returned it because the credit card slots are so tight that I could barely put the cards into the wallet. Not a problem with the softer leather, but I didn't I didn't want to deal with it on this one
Handsome.but.......
June 27, 2016
First and foremost it is a really nice item, looks great, seems to be made well, the aesthetic part I am totally happy with. My disappointment is with the size of the card slots themselves. If they had been just .02 inches longer,the cards would have fit fine, but all are just the tiniest bit small so it takes a a ridiculous amount of twisting and turning to pry them out of the billfold and then fool around and FORCE them back in. If in fact, over time, the card slots expand and get easier to use I will be happy to amend my review to add a star or two !!!

I bought this because I like the idea of a slim "wallet"
September 21, 2017
I tried to use it for a few days, but couldn't get used to it. First, it's a front pocket wallet, which I'm not used to. Second, it just basically holds your cards all stuffed between the two plastic bits with the big rubber band. To use one, you pretty much have to take them all out. I couldn't get the knack of only getting one card out (even the top card) without the others coming out.
Band too big.
September 17, 2017
I've used this wallet for over a month now and I really like the concept. The only issue I have is that is seems that to be able to hold up to 10 cards, you sacrifice the ability to hold just a few. I usually only carry 3 & my drivers license. They will stay ok, but cash doesn't want to hold on the outside under the band, it's just not tight enough. I might need to try another brand. I really don't understand why you would want to use this with more than about 5 cards max anyway. It ouls defeat the purpose of being a "slim" wallet. If the band was tighter this would be a 5 star for its design, lightweight and ease of use.
My Favorite, but there's room for an improved experience.
July 12, 2017
It's a great minimalist option, that you'll need to replace in about 12 months. The band will stretch out from use over time, and I don't think there's any way to stop it from happening. I'd give it 5 stars if they included several bands, or offered replacement bands via Amazon prime. I write this as I order another one, so I haven't found anything better.
Good for someone with just a couple cards.
June 22, 2017
The wallet is thin. Easy to carry in the pocket. However, when it is time to get something out, it pretty much results in a disaster of all my stuff flying on the floor. It is brutal trying to see the card I need and to free it from the pile. I am going to use it for another week and see if I can develop better technique. If you only have very little money and less than 5 cards. You may have better success. I don't know anyone that has that few. Once you have your badge for work, driver's licence, conceal carry, company credit card, my couple of credit cards and a couple must have store cards like Costco it gets cumbersome.
Good backup wallet
June 3, 2017
Cool little minimalist wallet for quick trips, but not a regular wallet to carry around. Getting to the cards is a little bit of a challenge, and the band does pop loose with a small amount of pulling. It is nice and small so it doesn't crowd your pockets and at least it makes a nice noise when it hits the ground if it slips out of your pocket so you wont loose it easily.
would have liked a better design to access the cards a little ...
April 24, 2016
for the price i cant complain. its a decent minimalist wallet. would have liked a better design to access the cards a little easier. the indentations on the plastic dont really let you push the cards out enough in order to get a hold of the cards, even the ones on the outside. getting to the middle cards is even harder... almost have to take the cards completely out of the wallet. folding money to fit into the band is a bit weird for me too. if i fold the bill in half, it is wider than the wallet so part of the bills overhang. i have to fold them in thirds for them to fit nicely, which in turn makes them 33% thicker. so if i have 3 bills to fold up, they essentially become as thick as 9 bills. not so minimalist after that.

Too Slim crumples money
May 7, 2017
I had the older version of this and wore it out.I bought the new one last year and was excited to get it.They said it was new slimmer style. This is a problem.I put credit cards in the 12 pockets and my driver's license in the window pocket.When I put money in it, the money gets crumbled at the top edge because the wallet is not tall enough.Please make this wallet taller so when you really use it and put things in it, it is not too slim.Thank you!
PLAN ON TEMPORARY USE ONLY DUE TO DESIGN DEFECT
February 8, 2017
Slot spaces for credit cards, id cards, etc are too tight and cards do not slide in easily (or out). This product would be so much better if the manufacturer actually tried sizing the slots with real cards. The initial quality of sew and material will degrade rapidly due to this faux pas. Fighting to remove cards will cause sewn seams to come apart with normal use in short time. I've already ordered a replacement to replace this one. It is a best a temporary wallet.
Flawed design
January 4, 2017
The card slots on the back of the flip out ID holder are not wide enough to hold standard size credit cards, so you really only have 8 card slots instead of 12. The ID holder also needs a looser hinge area, as it will not fold flat against the middle section when cards are in it. This wallet is actually thicker than my old trifold when filled, despite the fact that it has thinner (cheaper) leather and less layers of it due to less folds and the absence of a divider in the bill compartment.Just a note: There seem to be a lot of 5 star reviews by "Amazon Customer" here, all with the title "Five Stars" and just a few words long. It's very suspicious, actually.
Too bulky
January 1, 2017
Negatives:--> Too bulky once you put in your cards and cash in it.--> The compartments on the left and right side are too small to fit the cards.The middle one is okay.Positive:-- > Feels like good quality leather.
Credit cards don't fit
December 26, 2016
While it is well made and sturdy, and has a good design overall, the slots for credit cards are all too small. I had to force the cards into the slots, which made them very difficult to get back out when needed. After observing my frustration when attempting to pull out my ID card, my wife got me a different wallet for Christmas.
Poor quality..
December 4, 2014
Bought this wallet back in June this year. First impressions were great. However, four months later and it looks like I had it for over 5 years. The leather is cheap and flakes off easily. The license plastic cover is now broken. I bought a wallet in Italy back in 1997 that lasted until just about June this year 2014! Now that was a good quality product for about the same price!

Great look and design but the rubber band can break making the wallet unusable.
July 3, 2017
I love the design and it works really well. Unfortunately after a few months of use I found the band that holds everything together was close to breaking. FYI I was carrying about 10 cards and a couple of bills with it. I ended up having to buy a new one, thankfully they aren't too expensive. I'm going to put less cards in this new one and if it breaks again I'll probably look into other products.
Dont like it
March 13, 2017
Didn't really like it. I packed the wallet with the max amount of cards and sometimes they start to fall out of the case in my pocket. So when I take the wallet out some of my cards are still in my pocket. I'm afraid I will lose something when I pull it out.
Almost loved it but flawed where it's just not worth it.

I really liked it at first, but you have to be so careful to not destroy your cards. After 3 months of using it my main card only works half the time and it looks like it's aged 5 years. The main thing to watch out for is other cards with raised card numbers. Sliding the card mag strip towards those raised numbers will wear away the mag strip. Once all retailers goto chip and pin this shouldn't be such a problem. I didn't mind the card shuffle you have to do with these type of wallets (the shuffle where you end up taking out half your cards to get the right one). So while I don't hate it I just can't use.
Not good for my purposes, might be for yours.

I was looking for a slim wallet to hold about 4 cards and maybe a little cash from time to time. Short story, this wallet did not work for my purposes and I wouldn't recommend it. The reasons it didn't work for me are listed below.Pros:- Good looking.- If you carry enough cards in the wallet to keep the band tight, and you don't carry cash, it is slimmer than your regular wallet and feels nice in your pocket.Cons:- Band was too loose. You really need at least 6 cards to keep it tight enough so it's not slipping around and dropping cards out.- The band was a pretty slick feeling rubber, so I never felt confident that even when it was tight it would keep my cash in. The money would shift around and not stay put.- If you carry cash, the wallet quickly becomes just as thick as your regular wallet because you have to fold the bills into at least thirds. It is also hard to pick up the band to slide your cash underneath it.
NOT WORTH IT, it's just not.

Not Worth It.. so sorry. Wanted to like this one for my a gift to my boyfriend. Here's the problem It's basically just two pieces of plastic, and an elastic band. So when you take the band off, everything just falls all over.Darn, such a cool design and cool company name. If they just didn't empty credit cards, drivers license, money condoms, what have you, to the floor.I hate it when that happens
Not for me
February 23, 2016
While I was aware that this was simply two pieces of plastic with a rubber band wrapped around it, this really took the idea of minimalism to a new level. Nice concept, but it just didn't feel like something I felt comfortable carrying. Wallets are usually soft, this one is hard and cumbersome. Getting a card out requires shuffling through however many you attempt to carry until you reach the correct one and while I've seen the suggestions from some other reviews to keep the most-used cards up front, my attempt at doing that failed when I hurriedly placed it back in without bothering to re-sort them after the fact and then went searching for them again. I would go so far as to say that if you are even remotely meticulous or organized, this just might not be for you. I returned it after a few days.

Buy only if you don't want to put anything in it.

If you are looking for a thin wallet this is it...until you put anything in it. There are three sections for credit cards but you can only use two as the third section (behind the drivers license ) is to narrow to hold the cards. The wallet doesn't fold nicely and becomes bulky with just a few items. I doubt it will last very long,
The leather is nice and if you are not using credit cards
December 22, 2016
I had to return this item because it appears to be an outdated wallet and current credit cards a bigger and heavier and cannot insert (it you managed to get one it, you'd need a pair of pliers to get it out. The leather is nice and if you are not using credit cards, this will probably suit you for the price. It would most likely bulge way too big otherwise. Sorry.
it is a poor quality Chinese product
December 8, 2016
Some of the pockets are not even wide enough to fit a regular credit card.This is not an "Alpine Swiss" quality product, it is a poor quality Chinese product. Not going to even bother to return, I'm going to send it where it belongs, in the garbage bin.It is not the first time when I realize that buying something from Amazon does not guarantee quality but just a low price.
Too tight....Need to be a bit larger
January 19, 2016
Credit Cards fit too tightly. Feels as if the stitches are going to tear or the credit cards are going to break. Should be 2 centi meters larger on the width. Cannot put even 10 bills. It bulges and does not close properly. I expect 9 credit/debit cards, an ID and a few bills to fit properly in a wallet. This does not meet my requirements.
Not slimmer than existing wallet
February 4, 2015
Returning this for a refund. My existing wallet is a Docker's extra capacity and I was looking to work on slimming it down. Unfortunately, my wallet was nearly 25% thicker with this "slimming" wallet. Largely at fault appears to be the design. The way the flap folds in causes it to press against cards (or cards on cards), causing the wallet to want to stay open.The pockets on it are also extremely tight, very worried that the pockets will quickly rip open with the amount of force it takes to slide a single credit card in it.
Cheap quality wears out way to quickly
January 8, 2015
Bought this wallet for my husband for Christmas and within a week of him using it the leather is wearing out/off. It is thin and not worth the money.

Slim wallet looks like what I wanted.
August 25, 2017
From the picture this looked like a nice slim wallet to carry a couple cards and cash. As I have used it I found the band stretches out quickly and doesn't seem to come back to size. Kinda worried that my money will fall out of the band. The case opens up and holds cards snuggly but with only 6 cards it can be kinda hard to get cards out.
JUNK - don't waste your time and/or money
August 5, 2017
the strap stretched out after just 2 days. all i had in it was 3 credit cards and my drivers license. i took it out of my pocket and the cards went flying out onto the ground. it was wet and messy this morning so that was definitely beyond 'not cool'...
Disappointed not very useful at all
May 26, 2017
Disappointed it's a pain to use doesn't hold cards well if you put money under the band doesn't matter how much it ends up lose in your pocket it's less effective than just using a rubber band to hold your cards and cash together for me it was a waste
Band stretches out too quickly and becomes unsecure
March 7, 2017
Not even of year of using this wallet and it has become useless. The rubber band is so stretched out that cards and cash fall out easily. Never had more than about 5 cards in it and 5-6 bills folded so I wasn't even stretching its capacity. Good wallet up until this point but can't recommend it as any wallet should last more than this.
Good until the rubber band is stretch
October 12, 2016
The slim is good for about 1 months and the rubber band got stretch. If you are not holding multiple cards, it will not hold any. It completely useless unless I had 5 to 6 cards in it. Anything less just too loose. At 5 or 6 or more cards, it does not make this wallet any slimmer than a full size wallet.It cannot hold cash. My cash fell out when I pulled the wallet out of my pocket. Luckily, the person who picked up the money is my son.
Complete Garbage
August 10, 2016
This did not meet my expectations at all I ended up losing $50 because of this wallet and it's garbage money storing system when I pulled out my wallet to pay it is an extreme hassle to take out money and put it back when I left the store to put my money back in my wallet it all fell out and was all over the street I got most of it back but lost $50 this wallet is garbage and you should look for a different wallet
