I Tried the Most Popular Wallet On Amazon (Buffway Slim Wallet Review)

I’ve seen this one wallet show up on Amazon every time I search for anything remotely related to EDC: The Buffway Slim Minimalist Front Pocket RFID Blocking Leather Wallet

Honestly, I always assumed it was garbage. Why? Because it’s insanely cheap, especially for a leather wallet. Plus, the brand name is weird. It’s one of those classic Amazon brand names that’s vaguely familiar but not quite right.

It kinda sounds similar to the high end wallet brand, Bellroy, but something is a little off, like whoever came up with it was definitely a non-native English speaker. Even the product description is kinda wonky. But branding aside, this wallet IS popular. I mean, it has over 89k reviews and an overall rating of 4.6 out of 5.

That’s insane! So either these are fake reviews, or people have very low standards for wallets, OR… this is actually an incredible little minimalist wallet. That’s what we’re about to find out.

My best suit jacket size is 34 Short, but even 34S needs alterations (mostly shortening of the sleeves and jacket), so my best-fitting suits are custom.

I bought this wallet in 2019. minimal wear and holding up well with daily use. I don't feel like it is a "cheap feeling" wallet. But then I'm not trying to impress anyone when I occasionally take my wallet out of my pocket.

I've had mine for over a year, and it still works great. It lets me slim down my pocket bulk significantly, love it!

having worked at a fine leather retailer, i can safely tell the quality by just look. when you presented your tan wallet next to it, it was pretty obvious. it just doesn't have the luster or distinguish details of a better made leather good. but it's been years that i've carried a wallet and i don't miss it. no more pocket bulges and losing my wallet with risk of multiple credit cards in the wrong hands. my phone case has a thin pocket that stores my id and a spare credit card in case my digital wallet trips up

I went with the slimmer version of this wallet, which doesn't have the extra protrusion on the side with the additional card slots. It's still larger than what I used to carry, but not bad. The one benefit to the Buffway wallet being a little larger is that it stays oriented the way I want in my pocket; whereas my smaller wallet would always spin around. Just something to be mindful of.

I got my Buff way wallet a few weeks ago. It is thin & slim. Love the easy access holes for the license & debit card on each side. I don't have to fumble through a thick wallet when reaching for either of those anymore & I don't have a big fat bump for my front pocket. I carry 6 cards and 5 bills comfortably. I could probably carry 8 cards and 10 bills if I stuff it. I'm sure the quality won't hold up over time, but you're still not spending much if you buy 2.

I bought mine in 2019, and it’s held up great. Mine is more like a suede material, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised.

I have this wallet and I've used it for about 6 months. It's fine. I mostly pay for things with my watch, so it really only holds my ID. Mine has survived at least one trip through the dryer. It warped a lot, but those warps have mostly come out with regular use.

$50 is a lot for a wallet if you live outside of the States, what brand do you suggest in Europe?

[tomashowlin]

Great video! Thank you. Did you test the RDIF features? Does it protect your cards? Also, can you share the name of the wallet you like?

[Keith_Aerotrunk]

I loved your honest take on the Buffway wallet - I feel the same way every time I come across something too good to be true. But with that many positive reviews, it's hard not to be curious! This is a great review. Keep up the great work!

Hey Brock, where did you get that denim shirt?

[kevinp]

I Bought one in 2018 and its still going strong. I liked it so much I purchased another for when this one dies. I love it.

I have a $30-$40 Buxton bifold wallet that came w/ separate 6 card slot RFID mini bifold w/ plastic ID window. Both are genuine leather which is fine from a durability standpoint. I’ve never used the main wallet. I’ve used the card wallet for 11 years now. The plastic window deteriorated after 5 yrs. The stitching at the fold shows some Irish pennants after 6-8 yrs w/ no negative effects wrt functionality. I currently carry 8 cards but could easily fit 4 more or about 10 bills. With 8 cards and its bifold construction, it’s still slimmer and smaller than many minimalist card holders and is soft and unnoticeable in the front pocket. I’ve been looking for this wallet just for the mini card wallet but Buxton discontinued this set😢

looking to buy this for traveling. Did you happen to check to see if the rfid blocking works?

Do you have a recent vid or article about how you style your hair?

Mine is coming up on 2 years old (April) and it's holding up great.

I purchased the Buffway wallet last week and it is slim and effective for holding my most important cards and money.

[jpbernie]

I bought the smaller version of the wallet because it had all of the features that I needed. Like you, I wanted to spend more and get a higher quality product. I have much more expensive minimalist wallets, but my Buffway is my go to. It just works. I actually just ordered another one after approximately two years as it has stretched out due to carrying multiple cards in the front slot.

I got the cheaper Travelambo back in 12/22/2016 and I still use it today!

[lynnstacy]

The big question for me is does the rfid actually work?
