Slim Wallet Reviews

The Pularys Raven wallet review looks at one of the pop up wallets in the Pularys collection. With an extruded aluminum box, a leather extension is attached which holds cash, additional cards and coins, keys or anything else small. RFID protected, it’s still a slim card holder at a very attractive price. So what’s wrong with it?

The regular Lost Dutchman Franklin isn’t that big, so why do we all like the Franklin Mini wallet? It’s because of minimalism! If we can make it work by going smaller, then we’re all in! And so how does the Mini Franklin perform? Let’s take a look!

It’s something you’d say about your kitchen, “roomy and functional” but with the Domain Leather Huey wallet, it’s true. Instead of snaps, it uses a flap, all handmade using Wicket and Craig leather. This slim wallet can hold AirTags, coins, keys, whatever, while sill holding

This wallet has been around a few years, but the design is simple and elegant. The Machine Era Ti5 titanium wallet is minimalist edc at its best. With excellent flexibility and insanely low weight, you won’t find a slim, metal wallet that does better, except maybe a rubber band?

This Kickstarter project has finally arrived. It started as the MagSnap wallet, but during development was renamed the SnapWallet or Snap Wallet, all from Ohsnap, best known for their MagSafe and magnetic phone holders.

The SnapWallet is very minimal and thin, using very small and precise magnet placement created a modular stack system to mix and match the wallet components you want to carry.

Last year we reviewed the Softie Leather Goods Logan wallet and I knew there were others to review, so I picked up the Talon. When I started looking, I realized that there was a whole stable of superheroes hidden the wallets being offered!

We love Horween leather and since they make all the basketballs in the NBA, making a slim, minimalist basketball wallet for front pocket carry makes all kinds of sense! With a progressive design it’s attractive, but struggles with some stitching.

Ezra Arthur wallet options have been pretty standard, but the new Ezra Arthur Japanese wallet takes Horween leather and produces an origami style coin pouch with card and cash capacity. Being handmade in the United States, it’s a great front pocket wallet. And remember, it’s inspired by Japanese wallets so coins are king.

Created by two friends, one from New York and the other from Hong Kong, the Stuart and Lau Slim wallet is really a leather bifold, but represents its slim nature. With a billfold pocket that fits all international currencies and cleverly designed card slots, you’ll need to determine if the price is worth it to you.

Wrap wallet options are plentiful, but can you improve on this simple design? Mitchell Leather, who makes the popular MCW, money clip wallet has created the Leather Wrap Card Wallet (LWCW). Minimalist in design, made in the USA from Horween Dublin leather, this card holder provides the refinements to make this a must have wallet.

You might remember version 1 (v1) of the Andar Pilot and more recent v2 version which had a wheel mechanism to push the cards up. Version 2 was discontinued, but demand persisted around the success of v1. Andar responded by creating Pilot v3, a pop up, box wallet, with a leather sleeve, back to something that works!

Like the Groove Life Wallet, the Ögon Slider wallet used an aluminium plate to slide up and present its cards. Different from the Ekster or SECRID card holder wallets, which use triggers, the slider is more efficient. However, the Ögon Slider is missing a way to carry cash. And then we find out it might be a knockoff! How many more things can we handle!?

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.

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.

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 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.
