I purchased this to replace a regular leather fold wallet that I've had for over 15 years. Over the years I have transitioned away from having items not related to money or ID in my wallet. I rarely carry more than $40 on me anymore. So, my wife suggested several options to reduce my wallet pocketprint. This was one of the items she suggested. Read several reviews on amazon, etc, and watched a few. Decided to invest the $75. This wallet functions as advertised. It offers a great space to house credit cards and ID. I carry 8 cards in this wallet, including credit cards, ID, grocery cards, insurance cards, and my $20-$40. They all fit securely, including the money, and I have no concerns about anything accidentally falling or slipping out of the wallet. The RFID blocking does work. So, since I carry a card needed to access my work space I do need to expose the cards a bit to open the door. So no more just waving past the sense to get in. A very minor consideration but worth noting. I do highly recommend you use the fanning technique to access middle cards. Many of the reviews here and elsewhere will say that accessing cards in the middle is difficult. I affirm, yes it can be but it doesn't have to be. If you don't push the cards up so that the bottom of the the entire set of cards are flush with the the elastic strap before pressing the button of the wallet to fan the cards, you will find accessing those middle cards takes more effort. I suggest you practice how you might access cards in the front, middle, and back well before you start using the wallet out and about. This isn't a negative as it still takes less time to access card than it did when I had a traditional leather fold wallet. With that wallet I still had to open the fold, pull or finger through the cards and the pull the card out. With this wallet, I push, pull a bit, fan and pick the card. The design is sleek and looks super clean. If you're a person that has some of your credit cards saved to your phone and need a few additional cards and cast, this is a great wallet accessory. Durability, not sure what will happen there, but the only part of the wallet that feels cheap or lesser quality in "my hand" are the straps. So far after a week I am satisfied with my purchase. Also, some have mentioned the steep price. I have only purchased wallets once every 15 years, maybe. Seems reasonable "to me" to put some money into the item holding my money. I mean hell, I don't keep my valuables in paper bags, which "I'd argue" can be just as effective if not practical, I just prefer not to buy a paper bag when I could spend a a few more dollars for a cloth one that will hopefully last much longer.

It's a great wallet and makes it so much easier to carry around! I can fit up to 12 different cards and the money strap really does hold the cash in place! Its slimness and functionality make it worth the price! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes to carry additional cards with them but need a pocket size wallet! Read more
I’ve had The Ridge wallet with money strap (Aluminum Navy) for less than a week and it is great! I love the look and feel. It is built solid. It’s so much smaller than my traditional leather wallet and now I only carry what I really need. No more wallet full of receipts or old unused credit cards or club cards. And no more bulky wallet in back pocket to mess up my hip, though I’m still getting used to not “feeling” a wallet back there. The Ridge wallet goes in my front pocket and I barely notice it’s there. I have 7 cards in it and fetching the right one takes a bit of getting used to. I found a video online where someone slides the cards out a bit then squeezes the other sides of the wallet to make it spread open so you can see all the card and pick the needed one. For the money holder I chose the strap because it seems to keep a slimmer profile than the money clip, but I think both are good. This slim line makes it a bit challenging to put money neatly under it because there really isn’t anything to grab to lift the money strap. I slid the strap to an edge and get under it to lift it that way. It works well for me. BTW You could install both the clip and strap on at the same time if you wanted to utilize both options. A concern I have is that when removing / replacing cards, they slide across the main elastic straps that hold the two halves of the wallet together and thus hold your cards in the wallet. Not sure how durable those straps are but I’d hate to for them to snap at an inopportune time. Not sure if those are covered under the warranty. A possible design change I thought of is to be able to “lock” the corner of the cards in place rather than having the elastic straps, and then just flip a card out like a jack knife blade to insert or swipe at the cash register reader. That is almost the functionality now when getting a card out for use except currently the card is free to come completely out of wallet. Anyway. Great product. Highly recommend it. I may even buy more to give as gifts. Read more

Hopefully, I'll become better at using this in time. I do love the size of it, and I'm happy that I went with the money clip over the stretch band, as those bands can become too stretched out over time. It's kind of cool that all of the parts have a lifetime replacement. Read more
The best all around minimalist wallet. I carry this in my front coin pocket about the pocket where I keep my phone and the only way I can tell it’s still there is reaching for the phone. Holds the perfect amount of cards I need for daily use and the retention on the elastic is perfect to the point that they don’t slide out unlike some other brands I’ve tried. Haven’t needed to test the durability yet but based on the quality of the plates on the outside, I’m sure this thing could and would survive a decent amount of daily abuse. Day to day it’s the perfect wallet especially for those who travel and only need some cards and a small amount of cash that could be put in the cash strap. Read more
