Near Perfect Minimalism Everyday Carry! Akeeni XSto Wallet - Review & Test. One of the BEST

[@yellit1975]

Very interesting wallet. Great if you're someone who needs to carry some cash but who doesn't use it often. What would make it work for me is if that plastic cover was an RFID shield as then I could put my transit card as the top card. As it is, there would be a danger of the reader picking up both the transit card and the one below it, resulting in double charging.

CORRECTION - It look's like there is no RFID protection, which is a bummer. Having the cover plate be RFID would for sure remedy all you had mentioned. These days you can never be too careful. But definitely an interesting wallet. I like that they really tried to go for something a bit more original in terms of mechanics and not mimic other popular brands - which most wallets do these days. Thanks for dropping in as always brother and leaving a comment. Always very much appreciated.

Corrected my last statement ha

@@Joshua88Graham Interesting to note. I called the company and asked about RFID protection because it doesn't state that anywhere on their website. I took notice of this wallet in a ad when I was searching and watching wallet reviews here on youtube. That RFID is important to me and was the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on a purchase. When I called and asked about it the service agent said and I quote "the aluminum/stainless steel prevents the signals from reaching the cards, also keep the cards facing your thigh/leg when inside your pocket." 🙄 Not sure if that holds up and would actually prevent RFID. That's what I was told anyway. I'd really like to support a US company, especially one in California as I too reside in Northern CA. However, with no real assurance on the website stating RFID security I just have to hold off for now. Bummer.

@@RoLLUpAFat1 Does RFID protection matter in 2021? From a couple articles I read it sounds like experts say almost all modern credit cards come with built-in protection and skimming is practically a victimless crime that companies hype up to sell products. Also apparently aluminum is inherently RFID-blocking.

Christopher Tilley RFID is a marketing scam that wallet manufacturers have jumped on.... Just buy the wallet you love in the material like 👍🏿👍🏿

Awesome video! Josh the Traveller

[@cotygwinn780]

Looks like a nice wallet! Wonder why the plastic covers are extra and not just included, because it sure looks like they are needed.

[@Joshua88Graham]

I agree. I think it's needed and if we are being honest it would have been nice if it was just part of the wallet :/ Only bonus is it isn't that much to add it on. As many brands do this but the add ons (aka needs) 3nd up doubling the price of the wallet

Thanks my dude!

[@Joshua88Graham]

My pleasure brother! glad the vid was helpful for you (:

[@ermal6157]

I wonder if you can some toothpicks underneth where the cash goes without falling out?

[@Joshua88Graham]

Hmmm, I think it would be 50/50. If you have the backplate slider to keep the very bottom compartment closed, you probably could store some Down there

[@neoyork5437]

@josh if I purchase this wallet with the capacity of 10 cards and only put 5 cards instead will the extra gap allow space for additional cash bills?

[@Joshua88Graham]

Yes, it most definitely will allow for more cash to be tri-folded!

[@neoyork5437]

@@Joshua88Graham I wonder how many more bills you can add per subtraction of each card 🤔

[@nachopicchu]

I don't think you need to take out all the cards when putting the bills in.

[@eduardsiger1860]

Yeah you can just sneak it underneath

[@THEYTHINKTHEYAREGODS]

Dang I already ordered an Ekster this looks so much simpler

[@Bazookavich]

This thing still scratches cards?

[@ermal6157]

All minimialist scratches cards but not too biggy since the chip still works.

[@chachaboom7988]

just order 6 card variant, but went i see ur video, i supposed take 4 card...now a day my edc card just have 6 in total...

[@eduardsiger1860]

Better to have more room and not need it than less

[@THEYTHINKTHEYAREGODS]

I can't believe how uncomplicated this is

[@Dannyv1987]

Ekster wallets suck their button breaks in under a year and they are expensive so not worth the money

It’s cool-looking but honestly I don’t see the utility at all. Just my opinion.
