SERMAN BRANDS RFID Blocking Slim Bifold Genuine Leather Thin Minimalist Front Pocket Wallets for Men

Comment

Ive had a crappy old wallet that did the job for the past 3 years. Upgrading to this wallet has been a tremendous change! Pros: The wallet is VERY small without anything inside it. However, once you start piling in 7-9 cards with some cash and those loyalty stamp cards, the wallet becomes "normal" sized (still its smaller than my old wallet with everything!) The pull-tab for your cards is a neat gimmick. Its intuitive and you can cram a fair amount of cards IF you dont have much on that side. Currently, I have two credit cards in the pull tab, then on the same side of the wallet I have my insurance cards (3) and my drivers license. No problems! Cash definitely is a tight fit, meaning that you have to place the cash all the way to the bottom of the wallet. If you dont, the bill will stick out just a smidge. Its not an issue if youre a neat-freak like me, but if you liked cramming crumpled up bills, it MIGHT be an issue. The left side of the wallet (if the clear ID pocket is facing you and the wallets open) has THREE (3) card pockets- one on the exterior of the wallet with the easy access slide finger thing, and two on the inside pocket. I have my main credit card on the outside pocket and my MoviePass (which I need to get rid of) on the inside. Eventually Ill put my ID on that inside pocket on the left and have a picture with me and my girlfriend (WHEN I GET ONE) where the clear ID pocket is. Cons: To be honest, theres really not much to complain about. The leather does seem to scratch quite easily. I also dont like the (small) logo of Serman Brands in the front of my wallet. If it were on the inside, thatd be fine! The packaging did have a fair amount of plastic (which I think is unnecessary because they used nice tissue paper with the company logo to cover the wallet). The wallet is simple, yet elegant. At a first glance, it honestly didnt look like it would fit all my cards. (I didnt even see the pull-tab pocket until I pulled the tab!). The stitching looks like quality for a single pass (I wish it was double stitched, but then the wallet would be slightly larger. You are back with at 12 month guarantee, so thats good. Only time will tell how well this wallet will last! I have great expectations for it!

My previous wallet was a Perry Ellis tri-folio. It was able to hold many cards and cash but was too thick for my liking. This Serman Brands bi-fold wallet is the perfect choice for slimming down. I like that its made of full-grain leather (highest quality) which keeps me confident itll last for years to come. It has RFID blocking, a feature not in my previous wallet. I dont have to worry about a thief trying to steal my credit card information with this wallet. There is an exterior slot for the card you use the most, I like this because I dont actually have to open up my wallet, just simply slide it out, its really convenient. This slot is apparently also RFID protected! The cash area is a bit tight at the moment, I think it will loosen up over time so this doesnt concern me as my intention is to minimize what I carry anyway. The right side has a window with a small open circle to place an ID. The left side has 2 slots for cards, which are horizontal and keep the cards from falling out when the wallet is folded. The feature that actually convinced me to buy this particular wallet was the pull tab section which allows you to place a few cards inside. By pulling a small tab, all of the cards you place in this section rise up simultaneously. This area of the wallet allows me to add any additional cards I may need for a trip without compromising the size of the wallet in my pocket. When you re-insert the card(s), the tab goes back into its original place. I read that it is a magnetic function. I recommend this wallet if you are looking to slim down on the size of your wallet without losing any convenient features typical wallets provide you. With this wallet I am still able to secure cash and carry a substantial amount of cards. At the time of this review I carry 1 drivers license, 5 credit cards, a business card, and a few dollar bills, yet the wallet is still slim and comfortable in my pocket and very much more compact than my previous tri-fold wallet. Of course there are smaller minimalist wallets you can purchase, but you also sacrifice many convenient features. It comes down to what YOU need. Serman Brands offers a 1 year warranty once you register it on their website.

Ive used this wallet for nearly a week now and Im very satisfied with my purchase. Upon removing the wallet form its packaging the quality is immediately apparent. The brown leather is wonderful to touch and I can already see where my daily use has begun to give that sought after "character" so endearing of leather products. The RFID works extremely well as I need to remove my work badge form the wallet in order to gain access to my place of employment. I keep the badge in the outermost "slide pocket" as I can see this will be my most frequent interaction with a particular card. The ribbon that allows you to pull out a grouping of cards works equally well. I wasnt sure if I was going to be a fan of this as past wallets simply had access to every card through a slotted system within the bi-fold. I see now my "worries" were baseless and the space savings that this technique offers outstrip the very minor inconvenience of searching through a small group of card to select the one you desire. I keep my infrequently used cards here so its really been no issue at all. The interior of the wallet provides two slots for frequently used cards in addition to a drivers license and its met my needs wonderfully. The only minor complaint I have might disappear with extended use. At present the "walls" of the wallet are somewhat stiff so opening the pocket wide isnt possible presently. Ive also noted that bills dont sit completely inside the inner most pocket. They stick up... maybe an 8th of an inch? Everything remains concealed when the wallet is closed and I have no fears of anything falling out. Id just prefer the bills to be completely within the inner pocket. A minor quibble at best. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone looking for a new wallet.

BEST WALLET YET!! all of my wallets have provided me many years of service. I loved my last one. https://www.amazon.com/Levis-Front-Pocket-Wallet-Size/dp/B002OB429I/ Problem? the money clip. it is metal, and works well but after a year of use kept falling apart. and Id have to reassemble until finally some of the pieces got lost and i had no where to put my bills!! (wallet fail) also if bills were not regularly changed out/used then the metal clip would wear a hole in them/tear. So in light of that I searched, and searched, and searched, even looked at $100+ wallets, until I finally settled upon this one. IT IS PERFECT. a SLIM BI-FOLD that holds bills, plenty of cards, looks great, and... I love the red tab for quick access of my 2 most used cards!! (the front pocket the picture depicts as a "easy access to your fav. card" is not near as quick as the red tab for CCs. I now use that front slot to hold a few folded checks for that "just in case" moment when you actually need a check vs cash or CC. (it does happen, i employ many contractors and sometimes meet them outside of the office)

I really liked this wallet when I received it. Right from the very beginning, the packaging was great. It gave the impression that you were purchasing an expensive product. Also, the leather and stitching appeared to be of great quality. Unfortunately, after my second day of using this wallet, I removed it from my jacket pocket only to find that both of my credit cards were missing from their pocket. It appears that the ribbon to detract cards placed into that pocket is missing. Fortunately, both cards were in my jacket pocket but the ribbon is still MIA. Checked everywhere including inside the little slot but its gone! So is the wallet... in the trash it goes. Cant use a product if I have to worry about loosing my cards. Ill take the hit on this one. Ill actually just use it as a storage for home. Shame, though.
