SCUDO Switch wallet changes all the rules and will outlast you!

[@walletopia]

QOTD: ⚡Are you a metal wallet kind of person! Business up front and party in the back!!?? What do you think of this wallet!

[@Richard_Barnes]

I thought I was and bought a few Trayvax wallets. I just don’t use them anymore. The metal pointy bits just annoy me too much. I still like metal though.

[@Grogg22]

Good review Mark. I like that there are no sharp edges, has a variety of capacities available and that it is customizable.

[@WtfYoutube_YouSuck]

I'm NOT a metal wallet person, but I may turn into one watching your videos. The Ridge, Trayvax, Decadent Minimalist, and Dangos all look pretty damn cool. I love leather, but believe it or not, I've been carrying a Louis Vuitton zippy coin wallet (needed secure euro/yen coin capability with all the travel I do). It's not leather, it's a checker board gray canvas, after 8 years...it still looks brand new! Also, women love seeing a man carry something Louis Vuitton.

[@walletopia]

Beautiful! 😀

[@farmersgrip]

@@walletopia you talked me into it I just purchased a Gen 6 with a money clip

[@kevintm1]

After the review, I purchased a Scudo wallet and I have to say it is probably the last minimalist wallet I will ever buy. It is indestructible, light weight, and very functional. So much easier to use than Trayvax or Ridge or Dango, all of which I have owned and all of which ended up being a pain in the butt to use on a daily basis. The wallet springs open to give you access to all your cards, and when it closes, it's with an audible secure click that locks it. The money clip on back works fine. I attached a lanyard and it's perfect. I would never have discovered this wallet without your review, so thank you!

[@walletopia]

Great to hear!!

[@Tomasor3]

I was thinkin bout buying the ridge then saw this ❤

[@rapaleeman]

Love mine. Been running one for a while and it just holds up to everything. I’ve dropped it, treated it like garbage, and now have a decent amount of Switch cards as this is the last wallet I will ever use so literally switching it up is key. They even have a base that lets you put another card in it. Great product and an even better company. These folks are prime examples of customer service first.

[@walletopia]

Great testimonial! I feel the same way without having carried it yet!

[@rdrs6872]

Looks like a killer case for a few joints

[@walletopia]

They’ll certainly be protected :)

[@obsidiansands]

I kinda like it, it's a different take on the flipside shell style kind of wallet and making it more compact than with a lot more "practical" gimmicks in the small form factor by way of switchable plates/parts - hence why they call it "Switch" for obvious reasons. I do have to agree that if it had a seal, it would be a better "minimalistic" choice over the flipside (which I don't like as it can be bulky as hell with all accessories attached). Still using the STOW, btw thanks to you. If I didn't have the STOW, I would grab this in a heartbeat - and maybe I would as a great backup to the STOW.

[@walletopia]

Yes, this is much better than the Flipside, more durable, sleeker with visual options and the sturdy cash clip. But, it won't match the minimalist footprint of the STOW, it's still excellent.

[@obsidiansands]

@@walletopia I agree! I also feel iffy about cash clips - any version of them - as in ALL of them. Call me paranoid/traditional; but I'd rather not flash my cash around openly regardless of how much I was carrying no matter style of wallet I use - most especially with certain kinds of wallets that make you store the cash outside of it. Storing cash *outside* of the wallet defeats the purpose of having a wallet in the first place despite the fact most people rarely carry that much cash on-hand nowadays and just go with a card.

[@walletopia]

@@obsidiansands Yes, I've come to see a strong line with those who don't care about having cash external and a large contingent who don't like it all for the reasons you bring up.

[@obsidiansands]

@@walletopia I used to live in a rough neighborhood when I was a kid - anybody waving any amount of greenbacks around outside of their wallet was asking to be mugged.

[@thatchanguy]

It has worse internal organization than the Flipside, which is the whole point. This one is no different than having a box such as an Altoids tin, so it doesn't have much value to me (and less than the Flipside which does have internal organization).

[@nightowledc3111]

Thanks for your effort for putting up all these videos today Mark 😀

[@Friday_V7]

Thanks for all the videos today! Can't wait to watch them once my days over! 😁😁😁

[@walletopia]

Enjoy!

[@JP_Cesar_91]

I have this wallet as well with the carbon fiber plate and pocket clip for cash. Mine is in the ten card capacity it’s just perfect for me. Keep up the great work with the video content.

[@walletopia]

Thanks Julio! Glad you like it, it's a great looking and operating wallet.

[@riccardoolago]

I'm Italian and I love watching walletopia videos but I noticed that probably, living in the United States, he's clearly aimed at that audience rather than a generic audience of people who speak English (yes, even Italians now speak it). Honestly, as Italian, I would love to have that wallet just to change the sentence on it: put an Italian flag and article 17 of our constitution: "Citizens have the right to assemble peacefully and without weapons" which is basically the same thing as what is wrote now

[@G.G.T.]

in what world are these things called a wallet? i dont get this craze. clunky hard no pictures expensive? do people plan to run these over with the car? if this is your deal reuse an Altoids tin. you did a nice video however i just dont get it and i am only 40 lol

[@fara.r.8181]

Almost a perfect wallet to me; cards fully enclosed for better security plus for cash and coins. Only if the customised plate can be replaced with a transparent gorilla glass so it can be used for your ID. And the price is killing me and at the moment the wouldn't able to ship it outside USA.

[@davidwatson3035]

I just checked out their website and they are building some new versions, smaller and lighter, with an ID window. It looks good.

[@walletopia]

Yes, their offerings are evolving. I just picked up the version 5 of this wallet

[@TheDanny23rivera]

Have to update the final score to something else, maybe out of 100. Every wallet reviewed is rated 36 - 38, so they are all essentially rated the same. Maybe a score up to 100 would differentiate a little more.

[@walletopia]

Ah yes, pushing perfection is very hard for wallets to get there. The highest so far is 44, I do expect we'll get something higher someday, but they keep balancing out the various criteria. If I adjusted the score to 100 they would all stick around 80-95 😀

[@itsatoolthing6323]

I have the scudo switch bass and switch lid. I went with a clear plat on the bottom for ID window and carbon fiber on the lid 4oz empty. I've always been about wallet security this take it to new level with cash and cards in a sturdy aluminum box. Would love to see Carrie test and maybe 2nd look video. Great channel keep it up.

[@greenpowerhans24]

Hi ! Thanks for the sharing! When will you proceed with the drawing for the next gift wallet ?? :) It's been a while since I've been hearing about it but no news... Thanks!

[@migvelv]

Holy crap that’s a lot of videos!!

[@rutlegs]

I just can't imagine carrying a hard, sharp edges, bulky wallet in my front pocket... maybe if I were a cargo pocket kind of guy.

[@walletopia]

Yes, there aren't any sharp corners, but the bulk and weight is what gets you with this wallet.

[@timandrews4722]

Liked your review. Seems as thick as a normal wallet?

[@pmtips4482]

Folding cash twice is a huge fail. Standing in line you have to unfold the entire stash to remove a bill. Cards are all lumped together for another fail. Flipside 4 is the holy grail of front pocket wallets. FS4 has all the organizational requirements you need with compartments for easy memory of exact card positions. FS4 actually obsoletes the others, and does it with the lowest price too.

[@christophershoemaker8848]

Is the switch available anywhere still? Can't find it on their site

[@bropocalypse2065]

Thanks for the review. Getting one now.

[@aor980]

I’m considering it as a business card holder

[@ActionBastard666]

Ok so question. What wallet do you think is tougher? This one or the hellbent metal wallet? I own the hellbent and I am on the fence on this one. So close to pulling the trigger

[@walletopia]

From a construction perspective, the SCUDO hands down. The Hellbent is a slimmer wallet, but if you anticipate an abusive environment, the SCUDO will handle it easy.

[@ccollins4455]

Really enjoy your reviews. Would love to see what you think of the scudo 5.0

[@walletopia]

I ordered it a few weeks back, I’m interested to see it too!

[@ccollins4455]

@@walletopia same here. Ordered awhile back. change in the orientation of the closure I think will make the cards feel more stable.... I hope anyway 🤔. Cards resting on a longer edge makes sense Looking forward to your take on it 👍

[@angrychivafan]

I’m having trouble Choosing between this one and the Flipside wallet. Do you know if the Scudo has RFID? Doesn’t mention it on the website.

[@walletopia]

I would do the SCUDO. No RFID, you don’t need it, so don’t worry and if you still want it, get an RFID card instead of looking for the wallet to provide it. If you’re wondering about RFID, watch this kzbin.info/www/bejne/h32VeXidhKuErsU

[@TheLicewine]

Can you review this wallet against an altoid tin? I wonder if it's a close race...

[@walletopia]

All I would do is show a test of my car running over each of them...2 minute video tops 😂

[@erikkalifornia5182]

Altoid tin, hands down.

[@APPLEPIE978]

It doesn't look back pocket carry friendly with the hard case and thickness.

[@walletopia]

Agreed. I would never carry this in my back pocket, my hips would be out of balance in no time 😀

[@TTTbasco]

I’m surprised that you did not do a review on the Gen 5

[@wave8878]

Would love to see a review on the new 5.0 horizonal model

[@walletopia]

I’ve got it, I’ll add your vote to it!

[@ron4413]

Looked on their website and can only choose 2 sizes, 12 or 18 card capacity.

[@deenyc1049]

This would be great if you lived in a warzone but for normal everyday carry it's pretty silly.

[@stevek4622]

Consider a review of the Col Littleton # 102 wallet in America Buffalo, Thanks

[@walletopia]

Thanks Steve! We'll add your vote and move it up the queue!

[@timandrews4722]

How does it compare to Grip6?

[@stevenz2856]

I meant if you thought about reviewing the new APEX Bellroy wallet

[@walletopia]

Hi Steven, YES, but alas, I can't find it in stock anywhere right now...at least the color I want.

[@lukeson3wr505]

What happens when TSA looks at it in airports?

[@walletopia]

There’s a higher than average chance they may want to inspect it, but after that, nothing.

[@timandrews4722]

How thick is it?

[@novadz3308]

Nice wallet ❤️❤️❤️

[@develentsai3215]

Yes! No one can take away my guns!

[@bigbuckeye76]

Is it better than a Flipside?

[@walletopia]

From a durability perspective, maybe. Depends on whether you prefer aluminum or plastic. Both materials used as a wallet, would do fine and so it really comes down to preference.

[@erikkalifornia5182]

Rattles when not filled to capacity, thick and bulky, has parts that will no doubt break over time, and what is with the metal "Amendment II" placard on the front?? If someone out there thinks it's necessary, or appealing to plaster the 2nd amendment on the front of their wallet, then I guess this is the wallet for you... It looks like a horrible wallet in my opinion. Keep the reviews coming, good or bad products, it's interesting to see what's out there...

[@walletopia]

I really have a hard time seeing how this will break through normal use over time. It's pretty rugged. But, like I said, it could be used as a weapon in your last stand defense. 😀

[@erikkalifornia5182]

​@@walletopia Not likely this wallet is used as a weapon, likely anyone carrying this, has multiple guns.

[@walletopia]

Haha, touché!

[@boogeyman7777]

You are correct sir this wallet is rugged and built to last...i have the "day of the dead" one and it is awesome. ​@walletopia

[@erikkalifornia5182]

Somehow after three years, this wallet seems even worse than it did when I originally watched it, haha.

[@kmnj1732]

Id rather buy tin can. 😂

[@erikkalifornia5182]

At least an altoid tin comes with delicious mints.

[@jonahb2149]

Long pill case

[@walletopia]

Haha! Yes, it certainly would do that too! 😀

[@garolstipock]

swanky pocket box. Spendy for a pocket box.. thus the 'swanky'.

[@stevechrisman3185]

Ain't got no soul

[@studivan]

That’s not a wallet, it’s a tin can, why would anyone carry that thing in there pocket?

[@EverBlueLakes]

What a piece of junk.

[@Dad_Brad]

Lol, Not very original in inspiration. Does anyone remember otter-box defender cases? They copied it so well you’d think this company was from China.

[@blueeyes6192]

Looks clunky . No thanks.

[@jaredbowers8938]

It really isn't, just got mine and at least the gen 6 version that came out recently is slim and much smaller then my ripped and degraded trifold I bought from Walmart.

[@boogeyman7777]

I agree i have the day of the dead wallet and it is slim and protects my cards very well. ​@jaredbowers8938
