How does it get usability of 5 when you have to fold bills into thirds? I may not use cash often, but I do carry it and don't like fumbling for it when I need it. For example, whenever I can, although I pay with a card, I like to tip waitstaff with cash. They definitely appreciate receiving it in hand. When travelling there are numerous times one has to tip a few dollars or even more on tours and such. So, when are you going to review that elusive wallet that's bigger on the inside than on the outside? That's what I'm looking for! ATB!
@walletopia3 жыл бұрын
Ah, THAT wallet! :). I'm still looking for that too, but some have some close. The ZNAP is a great example of that, a proper trifold in the size of the XSTO and for a trifold, the nivisto is impressive, a real trifold in the footprint of a bifold. Since all wallets in the XSTO, Ridge, ZNAP, etc. category require you to fold your cash, the usability came in the ease of which you can insert and access it. To me, it's easier than a clip.

Very nice review. One thing I always wonder with these metal card holders of that style, which I think deserves to be tested too, is how does it perform if you do not fill it to capacity with cards in the main compartment, can # fewer cards easily escape by tilting diagonally in the mechanism (something I suspect this holder would be vulnerable to).

Absolutely! Any of the metal wallets, while possible, would eventually be very painful or at least a distraction because there's no doubt you know it's there 😂

I heavily disagree with your ratings. Xsto price is slightly cheaper than the ridge that you gave 1 star to (

That’s why I will often go back and do 2nd LOOK videos where additional learnings force me to make an adjustment. Interestingly there is a 2nd LOOK video on the Ridge coming out in a few days that addresses this.

How to scratch all your cards. I've had a couple of wallets made of metal, never again. They don't offer anything better than any other type of material.

I'm doing an extensive carry test on this one with a couple metal cards mixed in to see how it does.

Same here. I love it but it messes your cards, I wonder if they can come up with a better idea to prevent from scratching

This looks totally useless. You might as well just put all your stuff into a metal container. A few bucks would buy you one.
