Got this wallet but wasn’t happy with how the plastic compartment was glued to the metal part, i superglued the entire underside of the plastic piece and it feels far more durable and solid, most have had wallet for years and no issues with the glue, but for me wasnt satisfied, but issue fixed and hoping to get some good years with it👍

Thanks. I have definitely been very happy with mine. The weak spot after some years is the note sleeve plastic and also the glue for the cardholder but both of these are easily remedied.

Next wallet, buy the Freitag X Secrid slim wallet version. Made of truck tarp and has a super solid tarp bill sleeve insead of the plastic one that broke on your wallet. Had one for 5 years and it doesn't really show any sign of use.

Does any of your card got their plastic peeled off on the bottom? Cause mine does, not sure if use the switch harshly of it is just the quality of my card.

Not had noticeable issues here but given the nature of the mechanism to push the cards in a fanned fashion I would think possible especially with non standard card thicknesses. Not something have found a concern though within life of my bank cards.

@Recessio5 ай бұрын
I found this wallet absolutely destroyed my cards, the corners would get damaged and the plastic layers separate. After four years the cards would fall out unless every slot was populated. I ended up replacing with a Ridge wallet which I have not had any problems with so far.

When you put only one or two cards at the back side of the alluminum box do you hear a crunhy noise or doe the mecanism jamms ?
@bigskies2202 Жыл бұрын
Hi Jean, not something I'd ever experienced as always have used at least 4 cards in there so gave a it a try. With just 1 or 2 cards positioned against the back, and having popped them up, you can get them to skip past the teeth that fan the cards on repeated presses with it already popped out. That skipping suppose could sound like a crunch. Doesn't seem a particular problem though more a outcome of a mechanism that is really made for 3-6 cards. So if testing a pressie with 1 or 2 cards would say unlikely an issue.
@jean8101 Жыл бұрын
@@bigskies2202 Thank you for the quick response ! With my brand new one, I more than often get this weird sound and sensation rather than the "smooth" sound and sensation because as you said it : a card skip pass a teeth. And that even if I have +4 cards in it and can happen several times in a row (it happen more frequently if the cards are positionned in the back rather than in the front). So you confirm that it happens with yours too ?

With mine seems to work reliably with 4+ cards. One idea might be card type. I only ever use a couple of embossed bank style cards and 2 or more flat ones but always standard plastic card thickness. you could also try the cards in a different order??
