- Why I chose to ditch my Trayvax Wallet for a Flipside 4. Trayvax is an awesome company. I still use one of their belts every single day and absolutely love it. However, in this video, I explain exactly why I decided to switch to a different wallet.

Nice review, I really appreciated you showing the difference between Trayvax and Flipside. I almost purchased a Trayvax wallet, but after seeing your video I went with the Flipside 4. Thank you Everyman Gear for your review, definitely was very helpful !!
Geo Marshall That’s awesome! I know there are some haters out there but I’ve really enjoyed my Flipside 4. Thanks
it's been my best wallet purchase ever , simple , reliable , have used for more than a year
I’ve used this wallet for awhile and it perfect! It’s nice in the hands even though mine are small. And it can hold cards, case and some change and It keeps me from overloading
Thanks for this practical review. I watched this 3 years ago, and I didn't get one because I was testing out my Trayvax wallets(I have about 3, and they all do share the same issue). Trayvax make good products, but accessibility and organization is an issue for all of their wallets. So I bought two Flipside wallets, one for me and one for my wife, and she loves it. And then my father-in-law saw it, and now I am ordering one for him as well :) Thanks again.
Thank you!
Trayvax contour. With a box like that, might as well carry a traditional wallet
Regardless if you like it or not - buy it or not... I like the fact that I come across a review of the Trayvax with a functional approach rather than looks or durability. Thank you.
i guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me

Man, you weren't kidding! That took too long to explain what he was trying to say.
Thx bro
He should say it’s awful, bulky and plastic.
I got my flipside 4 a week and a half ago, and the flipside kick I l love them both.
Great review, I just ordered flipside 4 Punk Pink color 👍🏼💯😁👌🏼💞
Diva Mom Judee 808 Sweet! I think you'll love it! Keep me posted.
Is it wide enough for a card in a paper sleeve? I keep all my cards in sleeves to prevent scratching.
That looks like a mini first aid kit.
Very good and informative video sir! God bless!
I wonder if you're still using this wallet. I recently bought one for myself. I was using a traditional leather bi-fold. I got really angry when one of my seldom used credit cards got broken by the pressure from the wallet. I keep my wallet in my back pocket and I drive a truck so I sit on my ass a lot. Well because of the leather seams and stitching in my other wallet the card was cracked cleanly right along the seam of the wallet. I knew why it happened so I started looking for something that would fix that issue. I saw the Trayvax and Ridge wallets but I didn't want anything open and simple card holders were out of the question for me. Because of what I do for a living I use a lot of different cards. I have my personal stuff and then business cards. I was able to put all my cards in the wallet and my fuel and truck stop cards in the back under the cash tab.
You said you didn't think this would be a good back pocket wallet but honestly it's awesome for me. I don't feel it at all. It's about the same thickness as my bi-fold was but it's footprint is much smaller. It goes in and to the outer side of the pocket and I never even feel it. I chose it because of the secure nature. I didn't like the idea of any of those open wallet designs because the chance to lose things is too high. In my position it's not so simple to just replace a lost or stolen card it's a real pain in the ass because I'm not home very often to get my mail. I just wanted to weigh in on my experience with Flipside.
robert cline Awesome bit of input. Yes, I still use it and love it. It doesn’t even seem very worn at all and works flawlessly. I have (on some occasions) used it in a back pocket and it’s not bad. Still, the secure minded me just feels safer with my wallet in the front. Thanks for your comment!
I see a lot of comments against this wallet, but afterall its all a matter of personal preference. What works for one might not work for another.
Well done! thanks.
Great review! Are you still using this wallet? How is it holding up with use?does the spring get weak after a while?
Jay C Thanks Jay! Yes...I still use the wallet every day. It’s in great shape and I have noticed zero issues with the spring.
I've had this wallet as well as others like it....all the latches got F***** up. And with this wallet in particular the cards in the lid were always getting scratched up. Not to mention the fact that you are very limited in how many you can carry
On the flipside(pun intended) the Trayvax wallet that you have is not one I'd get, BUT the Trayvax Element(10 cards + $) or Axis(14 cards + $) are great choices depending on your needs.
Also part of what your paying for with Trayvax is a 65 year warranty, as well as quality they will stand behind.
I like my pitaka, it wipes the magnetic strip but in the UK we use chip and pin only so that's fine.
🤣I gave my trayvax away have had the flipside 4 now for 3 years I will never go for another wallet after the flipside my life has been over simplified in the world of wallets good review
Thank you for taking time out. Good content video. I’m getting a flip wallet..
How does it feel to sit on it? Also, isn't it slippery in a front pocket?
I have the element, and I have the same issue with cards falling out, after the first card is removed the other 6 cards hit the floor
Thanks for this review. I never liked that particular TRAVAX wallet and they now give them away with every order. Over the last year I bought 3 other Trayvax wallets, Axis, Original 2.0, and Ascent, all of which I like very much, with the Ascent being my favorite, but the 2.0 is very easy to adjust and holds as little or as many cards as you want . I still have the free wallets like you first bought and do not like them. Like you I want my cards to stay in and be easy to find. And the Flipside is a great design and you did a great job reviewing it. I saw where you continued to use the Flipside after 2 years and I bet you are still using it. As for belts I have a number of belts but wear the Trayvax all the time.
Still use a Trayvax belt every day. I use the Flipside but also use a Recycled Firefighter fire hose wallet often. Very minimalistic option.
Fantom Wallets are awesome!! They are much easier to get cards out. My all time favorites are Trayvax Contour and Fantom Carbon Fiber wallet.
The trayvax contour fixes all the issues you have. It’s on the expensive side but it’s well worth the money. It costs $140 but you won’t find a wallet better than the trayvax contour.
Puro Arte but he found a wallet that fixed the same issues for 100$ less.. trayvax are overpriced
iSaevilys lol how are they overpriced I would take high quality leather and aluminum over plastic. They have a variety of options
Puro Arte 140$ is overpriced for a wallet. You can put leather and metal on your wallet, it will be good quality of course but totally overpriced for.. just a wallet, that offers less ergonomy than a 20$ Amazon basics wallet.
I agree. Trayvax contour for the win. And a close secondni love fantom wallets.
if you're spending anything over $50 on a wallet you seriously need to get your priorities in check & stop falling for bullshit marketing. Trayvax wallets are not worth even half the price they are.
Personal preference bottom line. The trivax and the flipside wallet they both look good. And fun to carry 😁
Is there a way to attach a 3rd party clip for belts?
that's not a wallet, its a box, who would carry that in their pocket?
Just got one and I like it. Didn't think I would but I do
Smart people ;)
love mine for more than a year
Him
I carry it in my pocket every day and it's not that bad, have had it for a few months now and I love it.
It `s easy to get the topmost cards but how about second and third?
The lesson here folks is that looks and price are very subjective. You could spend $20 on a tried and true leather wallet or $200 for a modern minimalist look and feel. At the end of the day whichever you choose ALL OF IT holds your cards and/or bills. As long as it works for you, hey who gives a s* what others think right? I own a flip myself and what I like about it is that everything is enclosed. Bills tucks in nicely, cards are easy to find and pull out. It just works FOR ME.
I found perfect gift for my dad! Thanks :)
14:15 this part killed me lol, how is more low profile 1mm less?
Yes. I agree. These minimalist wallets have to address the cash issue. In a world with no cash it's fine. If only Treyvax could find a way to incorporate some kind of magnetic money clip that would be fine.
The flipside is a great wallet but the design should have some more flare.
Maybe some leather in the design? Better shape? IDK.
Jesus man. 4 minutes in and I don’t know anything that the video title didn’t already tell me.
Ive had two flipside and can say they need to improve on the plastic money clip and make it more substantial instead of loose wiggling and flimsy. if they'd improve that it would be nearly perfect
Why not carry a normal wallet?? I would go for a Trayvax Ascent. Very awesome wallet!
The box looks ridiculous.😂
Trayvex Contour beats this by a thousand times
I bought a flipside too. If you don t carry cash I would suggest PocketPro. It seem to hold 25 cards and it is still small. You can still hold cash. So many good Wallet now it start to become hard to choose. My favorite are Flipside, Dango, Stow, PocketPro
I just got tricked into watching a damn trayvax wallet review. You talked about the trayvax more than the flipside.
I live in the UK, and have an earlier version of the present Trayvax Axis wallet. It can take 8 cards, 3 business cards, 3 coins, and usually 3 banknotes tri-folded. I have checked this because
here in the UK where the £10 and £20 banknotes can be larger than the standard US dollar note, they simply will not fit under the clip in the note compartment. The only GBP note which can be folded and fitted is the GBP £5 note. Otherwise it looks a good functional design. So this looks like a design only suitable for the US market.
I wonder if after 2 years the wallet still holds up. I had one for a while but eventually it became to lose to hold cards. Also uncomfortable has a back pocket wallet. Not saying not to buy one, just depending on your lifestyle and daily activity it may vary its lifespan.
it's a front pocket wallet and how did the cards become lose lol?
I live in Arizona also👍
It looks like something OtterBox would make to protect a phone. Not my style, but I can see how some might gravitate to a hard shell carry.
But, but,... You can’t open a beer bottle with the Flipside. 🍻🤪🍻
That strap on the Trayvax was just plain stupid. It should be a stretchable strap that would still hold your cards after you take one out, not one that you have to constantly adjust. What genius designed that? Why do the designers at Trayvax think that their customers need to constantly adjust a strap, or fasten a snap? I don’t want to do that crap! I just want to open my wallet get my money or credit card out, and then close it again, without adjusting a strap, or fastening some other type of fastener. It’s stupid and it just adds unnecessary expense to the wallet.
@Chris101 Gray IKR? Just a little bit of sarcasm, there.
Too boxy and bulky for me. Love my Trayvax wallets and use them all the time.
My wife ordered me a Trayvax for Fathers Day, and I can’t wait to get it, didn’t get it in time for Fathers Day but that’s fine. I was looking at the Ridge wallets and really liked the titanium one but did not like $105. What’s worse is I later found out they were made in China, you’d think for that price it would be USA, Switzerland, Germany, etc.
I’ll also add as a front pocket wallet the flip side is a huge behemoth.
Obviously, Trayvax needs to put a more elastic strap on that wallet. That one is crazy, for the reasons you point out.
While nice, I’m just not sold on plastic wallets. I like my leather billfold. It has easier access to credit cards, bills, and ID. I can find anything I need in it, blindfolded.
Altoids candy box it's cheaper
just subscribing because you said you live in AZ
Awful looking thing. It looks like a mini first aid kit. It a box not a wallet. I’ll stick with my Trayvax element I think.
hilarious that you call this thing ugly but you daily a Trayvax lol
@@tsenif the flipside is cheaply made........its plastic. trayvax is something youll own for yeaaaaaaaars. but hey tomato tamato
Both the Trayvax and this terrible plastic box are very bad options IMHO! There’s so many better options out there!
David Fiorini I’m looking for a wallet. What are some better options?
It looks cheaply made
Quick question... is it very slippery? but thanks for the Video I was looking into the Trayvax Contour... I'm still debating..
Ariel Acosta I can't say enough good things about this Wallet. I love it every time I use it. IMO it's way easier to use than the Trayvax. I would not say that it is overly slippery… But I understand your concern. It kind of depends on where you carry your wallet. I'd have the same concern keeping this or the Trayvax in my back pocket...but the black strap helps.
Thanks for the reply, 80 % of the time I have it on my front pocket. If not inside my mini bag. For the price I think is very affordable and it will not hurt to give it a try.
I just got in the mail today. I keep my wallet in my front right pocket and it doesn't seem very slippery. It holds everything they say, so I'll give it a try this week.
I actually like the initial wallet you ditched...at 1:20 mark
nice review I'm gonna get this for my wife we were at the store and it hit me when she pulled out here rubber band wrapped cards.
Darren Landis 👍🏼 I use mine every day and like it more and more as time goes on.
If it doesn’t look like a wallet, might not be a target for stealing! No matter what wallet you you decide to carry, an attention getter, is one with Declined by merchant card. It really stands out, then. I got orange because it’s easy find!
I agree I used to carry those cute wallets myself but people would call me sissy and beat me up all the time now I have the flip side and people fear me it has changed my life
I thought it was bungee strap, wouldn't that remedy it
I’ve used the Trayvax Axis for 2 years, you’ve definitely got the “wrong” model, love my Trayvax. Good video, not sure the flip side is for me, but enjoyed the comparison.
Fred Finnerty Thanks for the comment. Trayvax stuff is definitely cool...no doubt. Wish I had the $$$ to get a few and try them. Unfortunately, only a few of the “bigger RUclipsrs” are sent stuff to try out. One thing I can say..is that the ease of deployment of the Flip Side is one of my favorite things. Pops right open. Who knows… Maybe someday I’ll give Trayvax another try.
Fred..see my comment posted late August 2019
I like the concept, but aesthetically it's not very pleasing. I'm looking for something as functional /easy to use but it should also be a bit more "elegant".
Nice box sweetie
Trayvax makes the best wallets around. I will admit that the summit is by far the lowest grade. I’ve had the axis for a year and absolutely love it. About to be buying the ascent coming up in a few days.
I have carried my Ascent for about 6 months now and love it. My OG2.0 was just as good but couldn’t resist the leather-stainless steel combination. Both built to last a lifetime.
Yeah. Arizona!
Trayvax has many different wallets, and some are more versatile than others. The Flip is not versatile at all, plus the catch can and does break, and I've had 2 of them. And that's a symptom of this type of wallet, not only the Flip, do NOT overload even a little. They say this, and construction in general, has been improved. And I do like the Kick attachment but.... That adds more bulk and $. Which puts it into the price range of the Trayvax Element.
Which in my mind is more versatile and better looking. Trayvax also has a 65 yr warranty, not 2yrs. And most can be repaired at cost of materials/shipping. The Flip can't.
Each to their own, if it works for you... Go for it. The Ridge is another option.
I turned mine into a plastic soap case holder container box.
RFID is actually a non issue anymore. Check it out. The risk is near zero.
Ive never have issues with mine.
I too ditched my Trayvax wallets (Summit, Axis and Contour) for a Flipside. My Flipside wallet (black) has been in daily use over a year now and holding strong. Looks great, functions flawlessly, rugged, ease of use, RFID protection, perfect size, more than adequate card and cash capacity. Flipside hit it out of the park with this design. Best $40.00 investment I ever made. Thank you, Flipside!
You lost me at "looks great". It has been hit by the ugly stick too many times.
You are missing a piece for the Travax wallet buddy. (The face metal plate).
To be fair, this is the Summit. You can add that metal plate and it becomes the Armored Summit. In one sense I agree with what he was implying (but didn’t specifically say) ‘you’ll be happiest with a Trayvax if you consistently carry the same number of cards’ I do. Same number of cards for over a decade now. Given that, I’ve found the Travax Contour to be the best wallet I’ve ever carried. Only downside is cost but I’m willing (and able) to spend that amount on something that is that functional, that high quality and honestly, that beautiful. Mark King really created something special in the Contour. I’ll second several of the comments here - that flipside is NOT attractive (if that matters to you at all) If you can swing the price, get a Contour. Best of the Trayvax line, by far.
Looks like a miniature box of Kleenex (travel case) or for Q-tips. I have a trayvax contour that puts that to shame. You getting a kickback!
My brother in Christ, it took you 10 minutes to open the dang wallet
So….you’re telling me there’s a reason everyone at the self checkout gets mad at me??
Have had my flipside4 wallet for a few months and love it so far, get compliments on it all the time too. People saying "that's a cool wallet" and other positive stuff. Best wallet I've had so far.
Great video, I can see functionality wise this is a fantastic wallet but let's be honest it's butt ugly.
maybe next time get a different model trayvax, you got the base model one. I saw this flipside and yeah doesn't fit my taste. I just ordered the element, something Indiana Jones or Crocodile Dundee would use imo
Trayvax refunded me for my purchase of an Axis wallet. It was out of stock. I am grateful that this occurred. I am waiting for my Flipside!
I like it
Also doubles as a soap container
Best wallet I've ever found right there!
So, you change leather and metal to plastic? Great choice.
Sau Po With polymer plastics these days… I have no doubt this wallet will probably outlast any other wallet I’ve ever had. If you subscribe to the plastic issue…then Glock handguns would be off the table too. 😱
The Trayvax contour screams quality, character, and coolness. That POS that you got....might as well you use a rubber band to keep your cards together.
Remember you get what you pay for.
@Chris101 Gray have you ever actually owned one?
@Chris101 Gray I am sorry you had such a poor experience with their products. I own a contour wallet and absolutely love it! Had it since 2019 and it has not let me down! Love the fact that there is no snap button nor zipper but a clasp in the form of a grommet that goes over a movable button in a track. You are guaranteed with this fastening system that it will never fail with this design. In addition to the fact there is a 65 year warranty. And I love the fact that I can hold all my cards and bill folds in the most compact way with style. Yes it is expensive but I have owned big bulky wallets that are just uncomfortable or would fall apart. This thing is meant to last!
If you no longer want your summit wallet you can send it to me...i have one and love it with absolutely no issues..i get the card i want with no problems and never had the issues you had with adjusting..seems like you were intentionally making it worse
Why doesn't anyone carry cash anymore? Cash is king.
I've had my flip side for over a year and best wallet I've ever had
Flipside is a wallet I’d expect to see kids in elementary school rock.
Awesome. A product for all ages. 🤣
I like the functionality of this wallet but I honestly think it is butt ugly, I have decided to try a Trayvax Axis myself.
Check out fantom wallets
Seems like a pain having to try and find a card in 3 different stacks. Looks bulky and sounds cheap too.
Never say that to someone with a flipside you'll get beat up
Seems pretty bulky for holding 7 cards and 12 bills
Starts Review on flipside wallet at 10:14..........
The strap you can change to a cheap flexible material and the Ugly Betty wallet must go.....lol
How can you do a Video and not have cash, my goodness.
Socrates Yep....sad but true
Very unprofessional. Was a poor review all around. Rambling, and gibberish.
@@jeffbassell disagree
Good video, some push-back versus Trayvax wallets.
Trayvax gets a LOT of hype online, but I think it's overrated. For instance, in their affordable (non-leather) ones, they are have a lot of tools built-in. I think those wallets would sooner and later rip a hole in my pocket. They should make a metal one without the tools and lanyard loops. (I have sometimes traveled with backpack, but I would never put my wallet on a snap on my backpack!)
Jasper Jones Agreed. I also feel as though it’s not a fair comparison (most of the time) in the comments section. I know that Trayvax has some really cool wallets but they are quite a bit more expensive than the Flipside. In my video I did a comparison between two comparably priced items. Between THOSE TWO....I prefer the Flipside.
That no wallet, that a box
Looks like a soap dish. Your Trayvax is missing the other cover.. I have this Trayvax and works fine.
bruh the Trayvax fanboys are hilarious trying to defend their $75-$170 wallets that does the same thing as a piece of elastic. This Flipside is overpriced, but it actually has utility to it lol
wheres the bottle opener...... and who carries coins??
@Chris101 Gray twist bottled beer sounds like coors or budlight ....... micro brewers and breweries are always can, growler , or capped bottles..... sounds like you need a better beer choice
@Chris101 Gray on a real note though. many people pay 100+ for cowhide leather wallets .... so realistically its the same same , i guess different strokes for different folks
I have had too many elastic items fail when they aged to trust my cards to elastic.
Lol is a box . No thanks
Trayvax wipes the floor of that
Now days people carry credit card holder instead of a real wallet.
Complains about ability to get to a certain card with the Trayvax...fails to notice that you would have to pull top cards out fully to get to the bottom card with the Flipside.
That is no wallet its a cheap plastic box sounds super cheap too. I love my OG Trayvax
You def left your man card in the trayvax
So you ditched a high end American made amazing wallet for a plastic piece of garbge
Stop explaining why you're explaining and just do your review!!!
