I have had an Akeeni XSTO (8card)for about over a year. I have an additional back plate that originally hid my Tile card, but after not renewing the tile subscription I have my metal beard comb there.

I had a $30 RIDGE knock-off that fell apart on me after about 6 months. I've had my authentic RIDGE in blue aluminum for 9 months and it works great, although the aluminum does scratch. I rarely carry cash, and carrying my wallet in a front pocket is so much nicer than a back pocket leather wallet.

I love the flipside. I get so many complements from it… It holds cards, but it also has a slot for your ID and it holds 4-6 bills. It might not be the best looking one but its the most practical for sure, I dont spend time pulling out all my cards, and going through them (when you have a 4 year old this is key lol) and its slimmer than any of my old bi-tri fold wallets. Even though its hard plastic which might feel cheap, it has lasted more than any of my old wallets.

I have a carbon fiber ekster and love it, something to note is the carbon fiber ones won't get scratched up like the aluminum version. The thing about wallets for me is that I'm not going to carry a slim or hard wallet if it's noticeably harder to use than a leather bifold. Most hard wallets make you shuffle through your cards or remove multiple if they aren't the face card and that's something I don't want to be doing with a line behind me at the gas station.

I have the dango d007 and I love it, gives a bit of both worlds of hard and soft wallets, very flexible, smallish, holds a pen, notebook, cash, cards. Also glass breaker and bottle opener. It's beautiful, durable, modular, and it can hold what you need and more.

My Dango M2 is absolutely my favorite I can carry paper cards in the leather side, a bunch of cards in the metal side and I use the rubber strap to secure the little cash I carry. It is a fantastic addition to my EDC.

I have an Akeeni XSTO that I've been using for about 6 months. (6 card). Love the fact that with a black face card to put on it, both my cards and cash are not visible when looking at the wallet. The secondary storage for business cards is also quite nice

I love my Flip Side wallet for 6 years now- carries everything and is RFID protective. It is bulky but I use a sling and have never had an issue.

[jmjponeill]

I use a Secrid, and have done for years now. It's compact and works flawlessly. Would be interested to hear what you think of them?

[Mars]

just my 2 cents.. i use a Secrid wallet, it holds up to 12 cards, 6 in the main bit and 3 on both sides of the folding tab(?) it has a sleeve thing for you cash as well, and it comes in a lot of different variations as well

[mmusic]

The Dango M2 Maverick in nickel plated and rawhide leather, handcrafted and Made in the USA, is my FAV! I do not carry tons of cards or cash. Just the facts mam. My DL, ATM card, 2 Credit cards, and my local shopping club card and done.

I’d offer that the Dango D01 Dapper wallet deserves a position on this list. I wanted a minimalist bifold wallet and I absolutely love how it carries in my pocket. Worth checking out.

I bought a flipside v3 back in 2018 or so, upgraded to the v4 in 2019, then gave the 3 to my dad. Stopped carrying it in like late 2019 because of the bulkiness and now I use a traditional Fossil Billfold. My dad was still carrying the v3 last month so I gave him my v4 and he loves it.

[nicholasstutzman]

No one ever mentions Secrid. I put my original secrid through hell and back and it held up better than the contour and others. Maybe it’s the cost. I lost me old one and have tried about 10 others before I said screw it and ordered another secrid a few days ago. The two is admittedly thick but holds a ton of cards. The mini and slim hold enough for most people. I guess it can’t be in a minimal category with the mechanism and all that and they are a bit pricey but comparing what some elastic sandwich wallets go for, besides the cheaper ones on Amazon, and what you get for your money with the secrid wallets it’s not even a contest. Ekster looks similar at a lower price point but again zero comparison in quality and durability to secrid. I carry about 10 cards so the mechanism is really convenient for me. With 5 cards or under I guess I’d go with something that forces me to shuffle through them and it wouldn’t be a big deal. That small Vice one looked pretty cool if you you don’t have many cards to shuffle through. Might pick one of those up anyway for days I’m only carrying a few cards. Good video, maybe check out a secrid or see if they’ll send you one for review

Akeeni Xsto, that's been my favorite for a few years now, used to be the Stow Slip. It's centered around holding cash but uses the cards to hold the cash in, most everything else I've seen are cenetered around holding cards and try to shoehorn on a way to hold cash afterwards.

For years i have carried a business card holder for my cards. Problem is, it keeps shedding my pocket after awhile. I need a minimalist design, at work i wear a toolbelt and anything larger will not work. Appreciated this video. Lots of great options to decide from. 👍

[tonymartinez]

Flip side user for years, , it's pretty durable, , I drive for a living it keeps ID, , and CDL docs protected, . Love the channel 🎉✌

Groove (w/money clip, not leather piece) and Decadent Minimalist are great. Used the DM for over a decade, recently got the Groove from KS and have been using it since it arrived. Slightly thinner than the DM, downside is it can't hold as much cash. The DM money clip is a beast.

[scottstage]

Ive had my Ascent for a few years and typically carry 3 cards in the front pocket and 4 in the pull tab pocket, along with 4-5 bills. For me, the leather adapted to that configuration, and became less tight, but still secure over time

[deadeyedaves]

Great video....as Always! A few in there that I need to check out. But the Most important thing is when are you dropping that
