[@pulkit024]

That's great news! When would the product images be updated on the website? While I see that the title says 'updated version' for a couple of wallets, the description and images still refer to the older/existing versions.

[@doubleoakessentials]

@@pulkit024 they will be updated by the end of this week 3/27/24!

Double oak...add a space pen ..kinda like trayvax has. sell it for 89.99 and boom .your done and still cheaper than 2/3 of the market. .

[@AntonioMarascoSD]

Just ordered a double oak wallet because of this video. I was torn between these particular wallets specifically and yeah double oak has what I'm looking for..Thanks for content

[@Koboldius1987]

It would be great if you could also remove the card holder from SECRID. However, the way the card holder is attached/integrated in DO makes the wallet unnecessarily thick and wastes space. It would be great if you could "hang" the card holder or attach it with a magnet. Then you would save the front leather side (where the elastic band sits) and could still store money behind the card holder and in front of the card holder. Why I still prefer the Secrid: 1. I prefer buttons for closure (especially if you're stuffing your wallet) 2. Coin storage possible with new coin pocket 3. More choice in colors, leather and embossing.

[@Joshua88Graham]

Aside from points two and three you listed (as yes Secrid has a coin add on option and 100 percent more color options). The new iteration I mentioned in the video coming out at the end of the month should take care of many of your complaints. Also, in terms of thickness, I understand what you’re saying. But the added thickness of this wallet isn’t as great as you might think. I didn’t find it necessarily noticeable in a way which made me feel it was cumbersome. Though yes it is thicker, it’s not necessarily a detriment. Thanks for thank g the time to share your points and thoughts my friend. Even if you’re not a fan, always helpful for others to think about these things.

I can't believe I missed this video when it came out, I've been supporting your content for a couple of months and it's actually good, keep it up Joshua!

[@Joshua88Graham]

No worries my friend (: Thanks for stopping by to comment and support 🙏🏼 🤖 🪨

[@Scruffy847]

Awesome review. I was personally looking to upgrade my wallet and I was actually torn between the Secrid or a Pularys. However, after watching this review I think now I'm likely going to get this instead, especially considering how much cheaper it is compared to the Secrid. I do have one question though if you don't mind answering. Towards the end of your review you mention Double Oak made a redesign of their card that resembles the Secrid's design more and to check their website for it... I can't seem to find any mention of such a redesign though, not even on their blog. Is it something that a spokesperson has personally told you is in the works to be released in the future? If so maybe I should wait for that release cause it sounds interesting. In any case, thanks again for taking the time to make this review.

[@Joshua88Graham]

Hey there my friend! Thanks for stopping by. The new implementation will be in place for late March (new cash implementation, magnetic enclosure, and interior card pocket with thumb slot). So that should be when you will see them pop up on their site.

[@natebonenfant]

I’m glad you answered this, it’s early March now so I’ll stay put with my Steve Madden 2017 that’s been half eaten by my cats.

[@ldlock1271]

is there any place you can see the updated design? @@Joshua88Graham

[@Remixthisgaming]

After using a secrid wallet with some metal cards I do have a couple fall out. Interested in this double oak now

[@JoshM0740]

I’ve been looking at pop up wallets for a bit now and your video was the first one I saw with this brand. Hit everything I was looking for, thank you

[@Joshua88Graham]

Glad you found the video helpful my friend! At the end of This month their new iteration with the dedicated cash compartment and magnetic closure will be available. So not too much longer. Otherwise the one in this video should be at a good discount. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by

[@jxemc]

Always looking forward to your reviews! Double oak should’ve added in the back slot imo

[@Joshua88Graham]

Thanks for the kind words and support 🙏🏻☺️

[@Classfied1]

I'm thinking of getting this wallet next month even though I already have a secrid miniwallet. 😅

[@albertoalegria7695]

Ekster is a 2 year warranty, had to warranty 2 times already and now a third issue has occurred and now it’s time to change smh even though I’m still in warranty

[@develentsai3215]

Secrit should change that plastic cash holder to leather or to new xpac material, that plastic will break in to pieces in time and if they can put a coin pocket outside it would be perfect

[@horyukinen]

Dude, you make great videos. I can tell you are honest and you care to give the best advice por people. With this video I now know what I will buy and no doubts at all. Thank you

[@los5084]

I bought this wallet with the expectation it would be magnetic and I assure you it is not. Mine was purchased on Amazon so maybe that’s their old design?

[@doubleoakessentials]

Correct, the new design will be implemented in all of the sold-out versions of the wallet on our site. But after one week of use, your leather will break in and close naturally.

[@Joshua88Graham]

I believe the new implementation should be seen by the end of this month on their website (:

[@AFGixxeR88]

@@doubleoakessentialsso you are saying the magnet is only on the preorder ones legacy, founder etc so not the midnight all black edition?

[@doubleoakessentials]

@@AFGixxeR88​​⁠correct. the midnight edition will likely be updated in May. But just so you’re aware, once the leather breaks in the wallet closes naturally without a magnet. It is really only a temporary issue.

[@jtorres304]

@@doubleoakessentialsI want the updated design but don’t want a gold version. I like the standard brown leather and black clip. When can we expect all models to be updated?

[@bbison94]

First of all, you have great taste in collors. I've got the Secrid in dark green. And then I have to admit, the locking system and the fact that you can seperate the card holder from the leather are quite the improvement. It would have been even better if the button from the locking mechanism was flush with the side. I can see it catch on the rim of my pocket. Another possible downside I see is that it seems a bit bulkier than the Secrid? I buy these because they are slim. BTW, the trick to keep these slim with cash in them, is to fold each bill seperately, and not fold the stack as a hole. Lastly, I was wondering if a magnetic card holder and magnetic stripe cards are such a good combo? I'm not a techie though, so this might be an old and solved issue... Nice review, man.

[@Joshua88Graham]

Thank you for the kind words and sharing the tip my friend. The new wallet should be out at the end of March. I just found out right before I was going to post, so I wanted to make sure to state that. I’ll definitely share the new one once it drops as like you said, those two things are game changers. And yes, you can’t go wrong with green 😎

[@pulkit024]

@@Joshua88Graham Hey Josh! Eagerly awaiting your thoughts about the updated version and comparison with the OG SECRID miniwallet. When can we expect your video to drop?

[@Dividend-Shark90]

The new Double Oak trak wallet mentions it includes a money clip now, did any of the other double oak include or option with a money clip?

[@michaeldavis5003]

Do you still have either of those double oak wallets cash strap isn’t a option anymore and that’s the one I want

[@CalBru]

Nice, but until these things have a compartment for my Samsung Smart Tag (or tag of your choice) I'm not too interested. May as well stick with my magic wallet.

[@ting280]

Yea my Ekster Senate's suede covering definitely just fell off one day. I had to buy gorilla glue and learn how to fix it

[@Joshua88Graham]

Sorry to hear that my friend. It's one of my gripes with them - I feel it offer way more quality at that price point.

[@Kaiserschlacht1]

Hello there Josh, id like to ask you about secrid mini wallet, my concern is if there is a possibility for cards in card protector to slip out accidentally, i purchased my mini wallet a week ago and even though when cards appear to be holding well inside, when i tried to shake wallet with bit more force , cards slipped out of card protector a bit but not completely ( 6 not embossed cards ) im curious if that is okay or is it a defect and there should be no way card would slip away, also id like to know if i can have less than 4 cards in card protector. Thanks for answer and take care :)

[@Joshua88Graham]

Hey there my friend. If you’re shaking the card holder with force it’s going to be normal to see the cards come out a bit as you described. It does the same with mine. It’s definitely normal if you are shaking it for that to happen, but with normal everyday use you won’t have any issues with cards falling out (:

[@hmsfr]

This one definitely looks better than others. Is the mechanism inside plastic or from metal?

[@Joshua88Graham]

Everything is made from metal, minus the the small black fanning component. I haven’t found any wallets that have that piece made of metal. But I think that’s due to the fact that if it was metal, it would scratch the cards.

[@hmsfr]

@@Joshua88Graham thank you so much

[@SuperKiko112]

For me secrid all the way

[@Joshua88Graham]

Secrid Is an amazing wallet

[@xzygy]

I tried the shake test on my standard wallet. Spoiler, a flap of leather doesn't do a better job of holding a card in a slot than aluminum.

[@Michele_317]

Is it springed? Can't tell from the video. It seems like it's not

[@AFGixxeR88]

Hard to beat the secrid slim

[@sulkoma]

lol damn you got so many.. i have one secrid wallet & i love it, I actually want another one even though I dont need one, just for different occasions I guess? I dont think i could bring myself to getting as many as you lol, that'd be awesome though

[@reedphelps7438]

Cant deside on the double oak or the secrid

[@yiupiano]

what a pity that they dont sell the cardholder only because I dont want the leather part at all.

[@Joshua88Graham]

I believe they do, I am pretty sure they just sell the aluminum card holder.

[@whatsgrowingon]

This literally would be perfect if it had a space pen on the side. I think it would be easy to add that. I swear if you added that ,itd be the best in the market. Alot of us dudes use this for work and need a pen on us daily ..this would fix that. your welcome.

[@nipponmichael2936]

Just bought three from Amazon, but looks like I'll be returning if the magnet closure is missing. A bit misleading to leave links to Amazon and discussing this update, when not currently available.

[@HTexas776]

Select colour types for the updated model can be preordered straight from the Double Oak website right now, albeit with a slightly higher delivery fee compared to Amazon.

[@FRONTchard]

Secrid still better. That thing looks bigger than Secrid

[@Joshua88Graham]

The wallet actually isn’t that much bigger. Not super noticeable. I will have a short of their new iteration soon and compare it so people can see.

[@FRONTchard]

@@Joshua88Graham not sure about that, that metal look thick af.

[@Joshua88Graham]

👍🏼

[@fleura888]

​@@FRONTchard Don't have the secrid but I can definitely say the updated double oak is a bit too thick/heavy for me. The card holder itself is really great but it's so hard to overlook the form factor of the whole wallet. I just feel it too much in my pocket in both size and weight. Both seem to come from its leather portion. The front side of the wallet is especially thick due to the new cash pocket. I think I'm either going to use the cardholder barebones or give the secrid wallet a shot

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

The only thing that kills these wallets for me is they are way too thick. I love the way the secrid looks but mine just collects dust now.

Idk if I missed it but how does the double oak stay closed? Is it magnetic?

sorry but I don't want to lock it I want the wallet to don't throw out the cards that easily secrid keep them in place and you don't have to lock it like this new wallet

[@optimisticblackorange]

I am sorry but out of all the videos of yours I have watched this one is the least convincing and most ingenue, it screams AD.

[@Joshua88Graham]

I only review things I like. And even those I like I sometimes don’t give top end reviews. I have reviewed MANY wallets. Some have been sent to me. A lot I buy on my own. I’ve never given a wallet a better review than secrid in my handful on years on this platform. Just because one wallet finally lives up to my standards does not mean it’s disingenuous. I give my honest opinions, and you are free to do what you like. But everything I stated in this video I stand by, and the one issue I had, their new version is fixing. So I made an effort to state that.

[@orgasmatron5042]

i just tried to buy this because it looks amazing, but they dont ship to the UK. have you seen any other wallets where you can remove the case like this, it looks an amazing feature and so simple if you think about it!
