Great review Chris. I wouldn't say mine was unusable, but there were definite problems. The switch area has exposed metal where the leather came off. It just meant that you could mildly hurt your fingers. It stay together better than the Nexus wallet at least. I took the peek devise out because I found that it made it too difficult to load a business card into the wallet. I felt super exposed putting something in it and having troubles getting it to go in. With all the other spots that clearly could handle a card, it seemed super suspect. I really like the look and features though, it does make me consider getting a second one.
Thank you my friend; yeah I have no experience with the first batch. It’s funny you mentioned the nexus wallet though because I had just mentioned that one in another comment. Mine fell apart setting the wallet up.
Mark at Saturn emailed me a link that will allow users of the first wallet to get the updated Apex for £50.00. However, you will not receive any add-ons, box or instructions, but saving £34.00 is better than nothing.
I think the suc peek is the best peek because it’s like the shadow wallet peek but more deceptive cause there conditioned to think the card can’t be seen once in the wallet
Yeaa I still like how the shadow, razor and apex can be handed out and seen from all sides after you’ve achieved your peek. It doesn’t have to go away.
Did you reach out with any issues or concerns when you first received it?? If not, I doubt anything can be done at this point as it’s been a long time since first release. It’s always worth a shot, but a lot of these wallets are like vehicles, phones, computers and many other marketed products .. newer, improved models come out year after year. You can trade all of those things in and upgrade, but they won’t give you a new one just because it’s improved. I understand you mentioned yours was unusable, so that’s a different story, but if that was the case I hope you emailed the dealer or customer service when you first got it.
Likewise, mine was never used... arguably also impossible to use. As magicians, stuff like that just goes into the "bottom drawer." We chalk it up to terrible design rather than calling and making a big stink. But when the exact same product is released as a "fixed version" it's kind of expected that those with the broken version should be given access either for free or for a small fee. This was the case with Dropped Call, Atom Remote, Cypher Pro, Inject 2... just to name a few.
I don’t disagree, but I had issues with Dex, the nexus wallet and a number of other things being unusable because of poor quality and I contacted support immediately and was refunded.
At the bottom of the description (on Saturn magic) it says the mk2 is the newest version. No idea what mk2 stands for but if you don’t have a frosted ID window it states that’s the newest version. Unless it hasn’t been updated.
I would have agreed with this years ago, but these days I’ve seen so many (non magic) minimalistic wallets of similar look that I don’t feel it looks out of place now.
kislux I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter

You’re welcome my friend. It’s my pleasure :)
I have the first version which is basically unusable. Did they mention any recourse for us?

Had an email from Saturn Magic saying Bonaslopes will not fit as the wallet is too narrow.
Oh that’s strange.. Thomas told me they would. I don’t have any to check for myself unfortunately.
So disappointed with the first one after they hyped it so much. Won't be getting a second one
That’s fair
How do you actually know if you have version 4. Your link shows saturn magic selling Mk2?
Steve
At the bottom of the description (on Saturn magic) it says the mk2 is the newest version. No idea what mk2 stands for but if you don’t have a frosted ID window it states that’s the newest version. Unless it hasn’t been updated.
It is all rather confusing
@@funjuror I would maybe just send an email. Im not sure.
Except it looks FA like a wallet. It looks like what it is… a prop!
