Vaultskin MANHATTAN Slim Bifold Wallet with RFID Protection for Cards and Cash – Top Quality Italian Leather - Ultra Thin Front pocket Holder Designed For Up To 8 Cards and Cash (Black)

Comment

4 star description 5 star wallet Firstly, this wallet cannot hold 8 credit cards in the provided slots. If you have embossed cards (most common in the US), it will barely fit 4 on the inside. If the cards arent embossed, you MAY be able to uncomfortably squeeze 6 cards. The leather will need to be forced to stretch. The fit is so tight as it is that my credit card numbers imprint into the leather. You can see this in my photos, but the angle was adjusted for obvious privacy concerns. Bear in mind that each slot has only 1 embossed card and 1 non-embossed card. With 2 embossed cards the fit will be even tighter. You can also see my front pockets leather stretching with just 1 standard non-embossed card and a business card. I encourage Vaultskin to update their description to a 5-card capacity as this is a more realistic number to fit without damaging the product. This is my reasoning for taking away 1 star. That out of the way, this is a fantastic wallet. The leather quality is above-average and has a great design. I appreciate the logo which looks sharp and isnt invasive. If you are deciding between a money clip and a pocket, you will want to get the pocket. The clips are easy to lose, break, are awkward when you are trying to sort through multiple bills, and dont secure cash all too well. This wallet is higher quality and just as thin. I would argue it can compete with some money clip wallets in thickness. Design: Cash exposure - Giving bills exposure about 1/4" initially bothered me. However, one of the ways pocket wallets wear out quickly over time is by opening the cash pocket and wearing out the stitching. With the cash exposed, it can be slid out easily without opening the pocket, prolonging the lifespan of the wallet. Horizontal Sleeves - Cards need to be slid in and out horizontally instead of sliding down into a pocket as common with most wallets. This is a good choice, in theory, to prolong the life of the wallet and contribute to a thinner profile. With less opening, there is less of an opportunity for excess wear to occur. However, the cards are a little difficult to remove from the bottom slots. The wallet needs to be shifted into an awkward position just to remove a card from the bottom sleeve, and if you have larger fingers it will be a chore. I only regularly use 2 cards, and one is on the outermost pocket so it suits my needs just fine. If you regularly use more than 3 cards it may be cumbersome. RFID protection - The protection comes from a film placed between the leather which folds from the outside of the wallet. If your wallet is open, or scanned from the side, it will still detect your cards. An RFID protective sleeve, even if paper thin, around an embossed card will not fit in the wallet. This wallet is therefore more secure than most and do well in general, but definitely not the most RFID secure solution out there. It will still do an adequate job for the most part. Overall this is a good wallet and I highly recommend it.

My husband really likes this wallet. His only complaints are that it only holds a few cards (which the description says, so thats not really a surprise), and that the outside/cover card slot is questionable since a card could easily fall out and become lost, and/or its easily seen and could more easily be stolen. He likes that theres a sleeve for cash, which it seems a lot of slimline wallets do not have. The material is comfortable and stylish. Overall hes very pleased with it, and its much preferable to the "fat" traditional wallets that are heavy and cumbersome simply because of their design and the materials used. We definitely recommend this product to someone looking for a comfortable, slim wallet.

The wallet arrived on time and exactly as described. It really is slim, even with 8 cards and ~10 bills in it. The leather is very nice and Im sure it will age nicely. The outer card pocket is very convenient for your most frequently used debit/credit card. The inner card pocket hold the cards tight but not so tight that its a struggle to get them out. Basically, its a great slim wallet. Definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a simple wallet that can fulfill most every guys needs.

I bought a couple of wallets before getting this one. While other brands had some tech options such as pull tabs to slide the cards out, they lacked the security of keeping bills inside the wallet secured. This one is a mix of a traditional wallet in a slim stylish design. Bills are secured inside it and is RFID secured. I can fit 10 cards in it and still feels slim enough that it doesnt bother me when I sit. The cards are easy to take out, of course a pull tab or something similar would be great but the drawback would be it adds more bulk. The quality of the leather is excellent. I hope you guys dont change it a lot, I think this wallet will last a long time, but when the time comes to replace it Ill look fr your newest model.
