Flipside 4 wallet, can it go the distance?

The Flipside 4 wallet is a polycarbonate (hard plastic) wallet with a spring opening and several card slots with cash capabilities. It's fun to use, but is the Flipside wallet really useful in day to day carry? Seems large for a convenient carry, but it grows on you.

QOTD: ⚡ This is very popular wallet, what do you find attractive or distractive about this wallet?

[OldLebaneseNerd]

carrying the 3rd version since 2015, 5 years using it, still amazing, no breakage, no wear and tear, the spring is still as sharp as ever, not even a scratch on it, this wallet is simply the best i ever owned, i just love the idea that my cash is inside of it and safe from water or leaking liquids, and it is strong, durable and so comfy in pocket, simply a 10/10 product, i can't use any of those cards only with cash outside, this wallet is simply amazing.

I've used the Flipside for 7-10years now. Been so long I can't remember when I originally bought it. I normally carry 6 cards + ID and up to a dozen USD bills. I have but don't use either the drawer or elastic back. It is really comfortable in the back pocket of my jeans and small enough to fit in a pocket T. The feature I like most are the 3 card trays/slots. There is a single card tray in the bill compartment I use for ID. The 2 additional trays hold up to 3 cards each so it's easier to find the card you want than single card compartment wallets. The only major drawback is that business cards do not fit in the wallet. You can put them in the elastic attachment, but I've found that biz cards get dog eared and thrashed on the back. So after 7-10 years I'm ready for a new one. My Flipside is starting to crack as I sit on the hard ground a lot. I'm really impressed it has held up so well. It still works flawlessly.

I’ve been carrying these forever it seems. They never wear out, I just ordered other colors and new versions as they come out. They are indestructible and it never fails when I take it out..people always ask about it. The only thing I wish they had was maybe some more colors or a metal version? It is the perfect wallet as far as I’m concerned.

I've had one for 4 years now. Still works flawlessly. Dropped a few tine so it has light dings. It fits the same in front or back. When I'm not feeling like sitting on it, I just slip it in the front pocket easy. This is really not a wallet you sit on. But I've gotten completely used to it. I have the external card carrier attachment because my work badge kept getting de magnetized fron other cards. I keep it on the outside and I can get in the gate by sensor without taking it out. Works great and haven't had an issue with anything.

IF THIS WALLET MAKES THAT SOUND WHILE I'M IN THE MARKET 1:55

I'll be going to Jail 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣🤣

How does this compare to the Pelican G5 wallet? I was having a hard time choosing between the 2

I have been carrying Flipside wallets for 10 years. I have the latest version and only added it to the original version out of curiosity. It is by far the best wallet I have ever used. It fits very nice into my front pant pocket.

Great review! It's a good wallet, for sure, but it's too rigid for a back pocket carry. I'm halfway thinking you'd get back and butt pains until you're used to sitting slightly sideways with this thing. It doesn't have enough of a slim profile to carry it up front either. It's not completely dust proof, nor is it waterproof - though it's definitely somewhat crush-proof as I've seen other people run the thing over with their car. Some may love it, but as a person who's transitioning to a slimmer wallet - the bulkiness is a no sale from me. That's even thicker than my cell phone, and it's got an armored case! If you add in the thing's accessories, it makes it even bulkier.

Great wallet.!! I have has mine 5 plus years.! Looks like new..!! Very good price also.

[joq]

This is the very best wallet I have used in the past 20 years, by far. Functionally it is about perfect. So easy to get access quickly to my cards, cash, without stuff falling out. Everything holds in place, even if I drop it, open, by accident.

[maulidarahmah]

Many wallet made for different function and market. But really, i never thought that someone would make this kind of wallet. The tiny attachment part actually the risky part of the wallet actually, moreover after i heard the sound while you put them together

Kinda great channel for design inspiration. Thanks mark 👊

[bladesNstuff]

They really do last a long time. I’ve had mine several years and still going strong

[senseored]

Nice review, but some audio sync issues on the first overhead cam segment.

[shawnharris]

My last leather wallet was over 100 dollars then I switched the the Flipside wallet. Yes it feels cheap and it's got a little bulk but I have had nothing but positive comments for the last 4 months folks!

[izzyg]

Detailed and informative as always, Mark! 👍
As one of the most anticipated wallets, if not the most anticipated wallet I was waiting to see reviewed on the channel, I must say I'm slightly disappointed that it doesn't fit euro - unless you fold the bills over twice. Oh well, one more wallet to scratch from my list.

[elkyx]

Been using this wallet for several years. A nice aspect of the plastic is the different colors it comes in so if you get it in a bright color and it falls out of your pocket its easy to see if you're not paying attention. I'm over 300 lbs and have fallen on it crawled all over it doing construction and it holds up. While it does let dirt in, since the wallet is rigid the dirt doesn't continuously grind on the cards so they last longer and the rubber card retaining system keeps all the cards in no matter how you flip it and holds the cards in that you aren't pulling out.. Compliments when I take it out in public and just has been the best wallet by far that I have ever owned. I will be hard-pressed to support another type.

[jaredharris]

I had mine for a month I even have the sidekick accessory for even more cards I wish they had more accessories for it

[AlaskanGunGeek]

Biggest gripe is it’s too slippery. Not enough texture. I stippled mine which warped the bottom edges upwards near the release button but it’s much better than it was before despite it. Now it doesn’t feel like it’s going to fly out of my hands anymore. A heat gun should fix the warping but if there’s one update this wallet needs is a grippier surface 100%.

[kozmo]

I know this is an old one but dammit I laughed every time it opened

Thank you
