Flipside 4 wallet, can it go the distance?

[@walletopia]

QOTD: ⚡ This is very popular wallet, what do you find attractive or distractive about this wallet?

[@erikkalifornia5182]

I'd rather go with the pelican micro sport wallet if I was going to go with a plastic case wallet (which i am NOT). If you're going plastic case, it should be waterproof.

[@walletopia]

@@erikkalifornia5182 Agreed, this should be waterproof/resistant as a base feature.

[@walletopia]

@Prophet KZbin On their site they have 5 colors, but only sell black on Amazon

[@izzyg8316]

I liked it because it looked different.

[@walletopia]

@@izzyg8316 You do have to give them credit for creative design in how they put the interior together.

[@EpicLebaneseNerd]

carrying the 3rd version since 2015, 5 years using it, still amazing, no breakage , no wear and tear, the spring is still as sharp as ever, not even a scratch on it, this wallet is simply the best i ever owned, i just love the idea that my cash is inside of it and safe from water or leaking liquids , and it is strong, durable and so comfy in pocket, simply a 10/10 product, i can't use any of those cards only with cash outside, this wallet is simply amazing.

I've used the Flipside for 7-10years now. Been so long I can't remember when I originally bought it. I normally carry 6 cards + ID and up to a dozen USD bills. I have but don't use either the drawer or elastic back. It is really comfortable in the back pocket of my jeans and small enough to fit in a pocket T. The feature I like most are the 3 card trays/slots. There is a single card tray in the bill compartment I use for ID. The 2 additional trays hold up to 3 cards each so it's easier to find the card you want than single card compartment wallets. The only major drawback is that business cards do not fit in the wallet. You can put them in the elastic attachment, but I've found that biz cards get dog eared and thrashed on the back. So after 7-10 years I'm ready for a new one. My Flipside is starting to crack as I sit on the hard ground a lot. I'm really impressed it has held up so well. It still works flawlessly.

[@JulianCesarTheGoat]

How does this compare to the Pelican G5 wallet? I was having a hard time choosing between the 2

[@gplank2003]

Great wallet.!! I have has mine 5 plus years.! Looks like new..!! Very good price also.

[@chico280]

I've had one for 4 years now. Still works flawlessly. Dropped a few tine so it has light dings. It fits the same in front or back. When I'm not feeling like sitting on it, I just slip it in the front pocket easy. This is really not a wallet you sit on. But I've gotten completely used to it. I have the external card carrier attachment because my work badge kept getting de magnetized fron other cards. I keep it on the outside and I can get in the gate by sensor without taking it out. Works great and haven't had an issue with anything.

[@obsidiansands]

Great review! It's a good wallet, for sure, but it's too rigid for a back pocket carry. I'm halfway thinking you'd get back and butt pains until you're used to sitting slightly sideways with this thing. It doesn't have enough of a slim profile to carry it up front either. It's not completely dust proof, nor is it waterproof - though it's definitely somewhat crush-proof as I've seen other people run the thing over with their car. Some may love it, but as a person who's transitioning to a slimmer wallet - the bulkiness is a no sale from me. That's even thicker than my cell phone, and it's got an armored case! If you add in the thing's accessories, it makes it even bulkier.

[@walletopia]

It certainly is beefy and wouldn't be something I would like to carry. It is popular with the EDC crowd, but I don't understand why they didn't put a rubber seal around the opening. With that in place I would have found the bulk a little more acceptable.

[@obsidiansands]

@@walletopia yeah, I agree - the rubber seal would be a cap in that thing's all-around-protections as its selling point. I actually got the STOW after your review, it's almost completely perfect - from size and capability to be able to fit up front. My only gripe is that it doesn't have that much space for cash, but I can live with it. Originally before buying a STOW, I was almost bad enough to be like Seinfeld's George when it comes to having an over-bloated wallet. Having a back injury meant I really needed to slim down on putting a bulky wallet in my back pocket.

[@walletopia]

Great to hear you got it, it's an excellent wallet for it's size and good to hear you dumped the Constanza! We carry so much crap in our wallets that we really never use.

[@stephentexas]

I have been carrying Flipside wallets for 10 years. I have the latest version and only added it to the original version out of curiosity. It is by far the best wallet I have ever used. It fits very nice into my front pant pocket.

[@christianshvab2199]

Thanks for making this vid best wallet vids

[@vikinglore1066]

I’ve been carrying these forever it seems. They never wear out, I just ordered other colors and new versions as they come out. They are indestructible and it never fails when I take it out..people always ask about it. The only thing I wish they had was maybe some more colors or a metal version? It is the perfect wallet as far as I’m concerned.

[@joq702]

Agreed. Easiest to use, extremely durable, holds the cards and cash in place securely yet easy to slide out when wanted. Also, would be nice to see a luxury stainless model.

[@vikinglore1066]

[@joq702]

This is the very best wallet I have used in the past 20 years, by far. Functionally it is about perfect. So easy to get access quickly to my cards, cash, without stuff falling out. Everything holds in place, even if I drop it, open, by accident.

[@Kaiesis]

That flip spring is way too loud. Thx for the review. I don't want a wallet that makes so much noise just opening. Guess I'll keep looking.

[@elky4x4]

Been using this wallet for several years. A nice aspect of the plastic is the different colors it comes in so if you get it in a bright color and it falls out of your pocket its easy to see if you're not paying attention. I'm over 300 lbs and have fallen on it crawled all over it doing construction and it holds up. While it does let dirt in, since the wallet is rigid the dirt doesn't continuously grind on the cards so they last longer and the rubber card retaining system keeps all the cards in no matter how you flip it and holds the cards in that you aren't pulling out.. Compliments when I take it out in public and just has been the best wallet by far that I have ever owned. I will be hard-pressed to support another type.

[@walletopia]

Thanks for the detail, great background on your usage! I keep searching for a wallet that can properly handle rough conditions outside of water. Something that anyone who works outside (construction, logging, even sports, etc.) could use and be IP67. Still looking.

[@yutaja]

Biggest gripe is it’s too slippery. Not enough texture. I stippled mine which warped the bottom edges upwards near the release button but it’s much better than it was before despite it. Now it doesn’t feel like it’s going to fly out of my hands anymore. A heat gun should fix the warping but if there’s one update this wallet needs is a grippier surface 100%.

Thanks

[@ChrisHall803]

Take the rating with a grain of salt. He is right, It is a EDC crowd wallet. I own this wallet. I carry it in my back pocket. I am a utility storm chaser. This wallet takes a beating. It does not come with the attachment I love. The attachment I like will carry two cards, frequently used cards. The same attachment comes with a tray. The tray holds 3 normal keys or coins. It also has a lanyard. The lanyard is great for a key or a air tag/smart tag.

[@ACTVRLADR]

You forgot to mention the protection the wallet has to prevent others from scanning your chip on debit cards you may be carrying and that the wallet is scratch resistant. Also when dropped your wallet will not explode, sending your cards, ID, and money all over the place in front of strangers. Ive had my flipside 4 for over a year already. Best wallet ive ever owned. I get compliments all the time. Cant wait for a flipside 5.

[@erikkalifornia5182]

Good review. Overhead camera audio sync issues aside ;). Wallet is bulky. I was thinking while watching it, that a good use for this wallet would be in situations where it might get wet, or sandy, like the beach or on vacation. Then you went ahead and confirmed it wasn't even water tight! I've never seen a plastic wallet like this that wasn't water and dust proof. From how you demonstrated card access, it looks like the difficulty in accessing the cards that aren't on top is going to be a deal breaker for most. I'm going to hard pass on this one.

I have a Flipside 3, and I have been using it for over three years. One additional problem with the product is that sliding cards in and out cause them to wear off in time. I also agree that its look can be improved to make it more premium. However the real problem is the company itself. They are very discriminative in their potential customers. They only ship to a number of selected countries--only Anglo-Saxon countries to be precise--and disguise their discriminating practice by referring to subpar postage system in the rest of the world. I don't buy it!
