I bought the Xsto. What sold me was that the other wallets' top-side money clips/straps looked a little insecure (not sure if they actually are because I haven't tried them), and Xsto's corresponding area looked safer. It turns out that I haven't had any issues with cards falling out or anything. And having had this wallet for a few months now, I like it a lot better than my old one. That one, a traditional leather wallet, was too big to fit comfortably in my front pants pocket or to sit comfortably on in the back pocket, so I always took it out and laid it down on my desk or chair whenever I needed to sit down. Now I don't have to deal with that problem!

Just keep the one or two cards you use the most at the front. You may have to slide them out but you can reinsert them by placing one end in wallet and then slightly bending the card while you insert the other end. Been doing this for 6 years and haven't had any problems with the card or its edges.

I had just received my Ridge, and I was looking for a tutorial on its use. What I found were videos showing that not only is the Ridge minimalist wallet the only one of its kind, but there is a whole market of minimalist wallets made by several other companies too! 😲 Anyway, I see how disappointing it is that the Ridge uses a little thumb slot to push the cards out with (you actually have to use a thumb nail to push out a specific card) when they should have made a wider slot in the center or by the side to push them out instead. The money clip for the Ridge looks like a neat accessory to hold cash (folded bills only) but it is not fair that it has to be ordered separately. My only gripes are with the little slot and having to buy the money clip separately later (imagine how silly receiving a little thing like that in the mail would be). I took pride though in purchasing it, because there is a The Ridge company located here in Canada, so the product was delivered pretty quick (in about 2 - 3 days). 😄

One thing I hate about all these minimalist wallets is that they're all RFID proof. One personal feature that I hate in wallets is RFID blocking. It's a fake threat that businesses use to make you go for their product. I love having a wallet where I can hold my wallet up to an NFC device instead of taking my card out. With 2 hidden pockets, I can have my credit card on the left side in a hidden pocket, a debit card on the right in a hidden pocket, and my work keycard in a front card pocket. I still have one spot open if I get another NFC card. I just hold my wallet up to the device, and it works. It's much faster than even a wallet with an ejection system.

I've used a $5 Ridge clone for the last 4 years. I only carry about three cards so I'll probably just hand stitch a simple leather card holder at some point and use that instead.

Ridge also has a coin tray option, not included of course. Also, Aviator does not come with the coin tray, it’s extra. I combined the Ridge coin tray, with my decadent minimalist, and used it to hold cash in order to ditch the money clip

Aviator has a couple of different models. But the Slide wallet (in this video) does include a coin tray for no extra charge.

Can you do a review on the code 118 wallet
@BKNY848 ай бұрын
These wallets seem like a great idea since I won't have to sit on a wallet any longer. But I also hate wearing shorts in the summer and having a bunch of stuff in my front pockets. It looks so bulky and ugly. I wish they can combine these wallets with a keyholder as one flat item in your front pocket, like the size of a phone. Otherwise, you have a wallet and your keys that stack on top of each other for a bulky front pocket.

Who honestly likes having a hard chunk of metal in their pocket as a "wallet"? I can't understand wanting any of these. (I have a Slimfold wallet made of tyvek and it's slim as can be, blocks RFID)
@Doggmatic_ Жыл бұрын
I had a solid chunk of leather before I bought a ridge. It's hard metal of course but it's way more slim, smaller and lighter.

Can you remove the coin tray from the aviator wallet?
@BeastMadeReviews4 ай бұрын
Yeah, you can. It's an optional feature that Aviator sells separately anyway.

I used Ridge before about almost 2 years ago but my damn screws kept falling out after 2 weeks of used so i didn’t use it anymore then yesterday I bought a new type minimalist wallet with the Bluetooth wallet tracker card for it and the wallet is carbon fiber so lets see how this goes

I have an Aviator and, whilst it looks cool and the cards are easy to access, it's terrible for cash. Putting it under the clip is fiddly and using it is a pain. The coin tray is too shallow for £1 and £2 coins and rattles annoyingly, even though it's lined with felt. Very cool for cards only, beautifully built but no good for cash and very fiddly to adjust.

The Capp design just goes to show how easy it is to make your own. 2 cards for the outside and an elastic band.

they already do! It comes with a money clip that clicks into place on the removable plates. You can take the plate off, leave the clip on, and have the plate as a money clip.
