Slim Wallet Reviews

We review the Groove Wallet from Groove Life. A result of a Kickstarter campaign, it provides a new take on pop up or box wallets like the Ekster or SECRID. But it has a usability flaw that is pretty annoying which a competitor solved (Ogon Slider) with little effort and for half the price.

Looking like a Start Trek communicator, the Ochre Handcrafted FLIP wallet is well balanced, easy to use and unobtrusive in your pocket. The perfect quick access card and emergency card wallet, the handmade leather case is slim yet sufficient to carry your daily needs.

Look no further, you’ve found the BEST wallet Fantom has created so far, the Fantom X. It takes all the learnings from the Fantom C MagSafe and Fantom R wallets into a small, easy to carry, minimalist wallet.

I compare the Fantoms R, Fantom C and Fantom X to show why the Fantom X wallet is the best Ansix Designs has ever made.

Mous is famous for their phone cases which provide excellent drop protection. They also provide MagSafe cases and have released a Mous MagSafe wallet in a card version with horizontal slots. Apple MagSafe wallets used on their iPhones, created opportunity for many vendors including Moft, Andar, Anson Calder, Distil Union, Ekster, Fantom and others.

What makes the Mous MagSafe wallet so different is how they solve the slipping and sliding that MagSafe wallets do when on an iPhone. Simple, but brilliant!

The Ed Charly Classic slim wallet provides a coin pouch along with convenient card and cash storage to meet your everyday carry needs. Capable, the wallet is a little on the expensive side, but is built well enough to last.

Made of carbon fiber, the Vanacci Stealth Wallet 3.0 Carbon Fiber wallet is also a box wallet, where cards pop-up from a slider on the side. It has it’s challenges and deficiencies which resulted in my breaking it.

The Franklin is the latest offering from Lost Dutchman Leather and it’s a winner! Being a non-stitch type wallet, there is no sewing, it’s all done through folds and clever cuts. As a minimalist wallet, it’s handmade and great edc addition and performs as a cash wrap for much less money than its brother the Lost Dutchman Big Finn.

The Anson Calder MagSafe card wallet is a great alternative to the Apple MagSafe leather wallet used with Apple’s iPhone 12+ phones. It’s made from high quality French calfskin leather, but is it too expensive?

Since 1891 we’ve loved Swiss Army Knives, but we’ve needed help in the wallet. Enter the Victorinox Swisscard Lite multitool card review. This EDC kit has almost everything you need including a small knife. But what’s missing?

What is luxury and what is a brand? We have a great example with the Monbue One wallet from Austria. A slim, metal, box -wallet similar to Ekster and SECRID, it handles cash, coin and cards via a spring loaded pop up mechanism.

This is the wallet that Apple may have thought about building. Built from precision CNCed aluminum, it’s a box wallet that’s better in some ways than Ekster and SECRID, but misses the mark in other ways. Let’s call it an Apple wallet prototype

The Great Heron wallet from Night Heron Leather is a handmade slim, card wallet from Horween leather. Simple excellence!

The Geometric Goods MagSafe wallet and CARRY TEST proves that full grain veg tanned leather is still a luxury above an Apple iPhone. Cutting no corners, this MagSafe wallet smells, feels and operates like you’d expect at this level of quality. It also has some problems which are discussed.

The Flowfold minimalist wallet review demonstrates how recycled material like sailcloth can be used for a thin wallet while still being durable. Made in the USA, it even floats on water!

Is there a difference between Leder Ogawa and Horween Cordovan leather? The handmade Lighthouse Leather Astragal wallet review with the reverse black shell Cordovan with the tannery stamp is a memorable wrap, slim card wallet.

In our Ekster MagSafe wallet review, we see how the lightest iPhone MagSafe wallet provides thin cut leather while allowing quick access as a card holder wallet

As the only leather MagSafe iPhone wallet on the market, the Distil Union MagSafe Wally Junior uses a magnet to secure cards so they don’t fall out. Odd, but it works great. Maybe Apple could take a queue from Distil Union?

The number of features in the Schnail ATLAS wallet review for its slim size is mind blowing. Cash, lots of cards, coins, keys, and SD cards all in a super small, cheap, minimalist, leather wallet.

One concern of the original i-Clip minimalist wallet review was the polymer body which could break. The new i-Clip Heritage steel wallet has a metal body, leather top, with a flexible card and money clip. It can even handle Apple’s AirTag!

If you haven’t guessed the Leathings Craft wallet is made in Turkey! It was one of our TOP Etsy wallets for 2021 and is one of the best leather, origami, folded, no sew wallet for review.

Apple released version 2.0 of their MagSafe wallet. Nothing changed except the 2021 version includes the Find My feature using an NFC chip which registers the wallet as a new device

The Lejiled folded, no sew, origami leather wallet is very sophisticated, slim type wallet I’ve encountered so far. It even incorporates a pull strap and snap into the single piece of Italian leather design.

If you’ve ever wanted to flex your cheddar, then the Dango MC01 Money Clip with a titanium stretch clip is the best minimalist metal wallet you’re looking for.

Foldable wallets, like origami wallets, rely on a clever design for usability. The Crazy Horse Craft leather wallet is no different. Using no sew, no glue, this minimalist wallet is a favorite for grab and go.

The new PATINA wallet comes in brass and titanium, made from a single piece of metal.  It handle’s cards and cash in a unique way, but can it handle the abuse of being a wallet?

The KUMU ZERO wallet is impressive in that every component is recycled or repurposed, leaving a minimal environment footprint. With that foundation, the resulting wallet is impressive, finely finished and cleverly designed.

Every wanted a wallet you could load up with cards, then reduce the number and not have them fall out?? If so, the newly released Wingback Winston Card Holder is for you. Engineering makes this incredible thing happen!

The small footprint Flap Wallet by John Brandon has a propensity to hold way more cards and cash than it looks. Could this be the King of Capacity for such a small wallet?
