Walletopia, I’m sure this wallet is for someone, just not for me. Just my opinion, it seems a bit clunky, and as though it would be a bit difficult to use.
walletopia i own 3 but the only bad thing about it if u use it as your only wallet for few months it will loose the ability to carry less then 5 cards which is a con for example on the weekend i leave most of cards so im not able to carry only 2 cards
I think they did the sliding mechanism this way because it can hold cash. So if you pay in cash you often get change. Not being able to close the wallet with too much cash or being a little more careful when it is very full, I would definitely choose the second option because you can just empty it at home again.
Funny story, When you open the box "wallet" I was confused why you were still holding the box in your hand, I didn't realized the box is the wallet 😂😂😂😂 Awesome review. 👌🏼
As a swiss who tends to pay more and more often with cards but has sometimes the need for cash, I think this will work fine. I tend to get coins out of whatever I am using everytime I get home, so not much of those to store and I don't normaly have more than 50.- CHF in cash with me... Also I guess it should be possible to have some notes in the band on the outside. I use the secrid card protector as standalone since about 2 to 3 years and decided to upgrade and try out the slide thingy now.
How hard would it be to redesign this with a lip that runs lengthwise, keeping the card carry box secure? I initially thought the orange strap was going to be used as additional paper cash storage. Looking forward to version 2.
My same thoughts. If they had put a rail system on this so the box would slide and clock into the bottom tray, it would be much more secure and usable.
Never mind. I ordered a Secrid Miniwallet today. Couldn't find reviews of the Click&Slide. I guess I'll get that one on another occasion. I want to test the original. Even if it seems that Tru Virtu has a more refined product with the more discret card release button, nicer clasp and leather compartment for cash(as opposed to Secrid's flappy plastic thingy).
Good choice! Honestly, I still feel that SECRID is more advanced on their mechanism as they continue to develop improvements, that's dedication and commitment.
I love secrid miniwallet/slimwallet but don't like: 1) piece of plastic where you put banconotes; 2) missing coins slot. I think tha coin slot can be added on the back with a zip container. I'll wait till nekt version.
check out truvirtu, from germany. they have a similar system but all leather. and i think they have 2 versions with a coin pouch. i just ordered mine after using a secrid slimwallet for 5 years.
😂 when you can easily deconstruct any wallet to a piece of leather, an altoid tin and/or rubber band, it makes you question why we would carry anything else!
What is your favorite box wallet with the lever to push out cards? Just trying to find one that suits my needs? I like the fantom r but kinda bulky for front pocket. Thanks!
All of the extraction mechanisms work well, but SECRID's is most advanced and they have more experience with the engineering. If you're just looking for one that work, the Fidelo is really good too. I took that one on a carry test and have video on that one too (ruclips.net/video/Q4PtjUCqUns/видео.html). Ekster makes a good all around wallet so I would suggest it comes down to one that you like the most.
@@walletopia I mostly have loyalty program cards (store, gas station) in it, six of 'em, which are totally flat, not embossed. In the little "boat", as I call it, I have mostly two, but sometimes three pretty regular keys and two folded bills of cash. I drop it constantly, but have yet to encounter the thing fall apart, that's why I love it so much. :)
For the price point, the design choices has me scratching my head as if they were being "slightly" lazy with the thing. I would have expected if from a knock-off, but not from the original maker. The band doesn't make sense because you're "supposedly" expecting the thing to bloat a little if that was the case, and there's nothing holding the other end tight either if that happens - you're better off making a sleeve if that was the intent. And for the rubber band to be that "thick", there's a chance that will catch halfway out of your pocket and send cash/coins tumbling out if you're in a hurry. Giving it tight grooves/rails/whatnot to actually hold both parts in place makes more sense on it - kinda like how the STOW holds cards - or simply make one large unit that has a drawer at the bottom/back for cash/coins, eliminating the need for a band to join those two together.
@@walletopia Got my soft black leather with red stitching and red aluminum box Secrid today. Feels pretty great. I'm still curious to see how the German interpretation feels, maybe in one of your comparisons? Had a Tru Virtu Beluga in the past but it was too big and thick for my tastes.
@@emilianstefan4424 If there's something SECRID excels in it's the box design and trigger mechanism, they invented the market and continue to improve on it. Their slim box is really nice too.
@@walletopia Just got the Tru Virtu one too because I was too curious about it. I was right, it is a more mature design that's also friendlier to cash. It could also make the transition from traditional bifolds to box wallets because it's a more permissive wallet than the tighter Secrid. Alas, I like tham both.
У SECRID единственное, что интересно, это Cardprotector - как компактное устройство для ношения и защиты банковских и дисконтных карт. Все остальные варианты их кошельков неудобны и непрактичны.
Everything outside of the original Cardprotector are product extensions trying to add value and look like add-ons. It's hard to improve on the original.
U were wrong about the register. It won't be on the box it will be on the card holder like they show on their website. It has to start with letters FIRST. Went through all this trouble b/c of u 😒
I just don't think this is practical, not for my daily needs anyway. I guess it'll suit someone who uses cards mostly and needs to store the odd coin or two for say parking etc. A very zany zebra design.... 😵
Honestly, when you evaluate the size of the combined wallet you’re left with, and the reduced number of cards and other things you can carry in it, it’s limiting.
Never understood these metal boxes wallets like the ridge or trayvax which btw is an eye sore. In that case I might as well just buy a tin can of Altoids and put my belongings in there LoL. And not to mention you have to fold the cash more than once on these wallets, so that's a no go for me
QOTD: ⚡ SECRID has built a great reputation for solid products. Let us know if you own one and how it's performed for you!

Just an FYI……. The serial number is also located at the top of the aluminum card holder.

Good review. I like the concept, I just wish it wasn't held together by a band. If it had a more secure/permanent feeling solution I'd give it a try.
My thoughts exactly.
Decent design with some flaws. Great review.

Great review sir! Thanks for the quality videos and content!
Much appreciated!
I have my secrid since 2013. It’s the most durable wallet!
Where would you rank Secrid wallets? Not this one in particular but the mini????
Damn, you even nail the score on an altoid tin with a rubber band wrapped around.
😂 when you can easily deconstruct any wallet to a piece of leather, an altoid tin and/or rubber band, it makes you question why we would carry anything else!
It's funny that I thought I'd rather have an Altoids wallet than pay $76 for its knock-off . Lol
Can you use the band without the coin department?
Isn't the serial number etched into the wallet too? My Secrid Slim has it etched on the inside of the card box right at the top.
YES! Thanks for catching that, I totally forgot. It's on the inner-lip of the box wallet at the top.

Can you suggest which wallet has the maximum number of card slots available?
'ey, I got one of those! Love it from day 1.
Great to hear! It seems limited, what are you able to carry within reason in the slide portion?

anyone else see that little floater at 4:09? or is my screen just being funny 😂

You should review the Tru Virtu Click&Slide.
Hi Emilian, we have that in inventory so I'll put your vote by it.

@Emilian Stefan lol, yes, which leaves you to rotate wallets now! Once you find several you like, it's now a choice of what you carry each day
hey mark which state you from man?
Utah!
@@walletopia ah ok cool thanks man
So these wallets are not RFID approved?
Not sure what you mean by approved, but they do have RFID "protection" due to the metal they use.
Agree with Tom’s comment. A great video but a poor wallet. I just don’t get these at all. 👍🏻😀
isnt the strap ALSO to hold bills and if you want to leave the slider at home you just take the box and the strap
You are correct, any of those work.

How far do you pop the card out to use?
About 2"

Sorry about that Malachi, thanks for clarifying it for us.
@@walletopia ehh didn't mean to be rude over all great review!
Oh no, you’re fine. I will miss things, so I’m happy the community can pick up what I miss.
There is serial number where the lip of the card goes into
Design of this wallet is really cool but I think it is very useless and uncomfortable to use.

It's all the wrong way the slide.
Good video, bad wallet
It is lacking a bit. For how bulky it becomes, with how little you can store in it, the benefit starts to decline fast.
its cool but not woth the price
Yes, a little expensive for what you get.
Big fan of Secrid design, i have 4, but those who use it know that metal used is real sh***** :(
Okay, I’m intrigued! Give me the dirt! :)
I personally can't stand a metal box wallet. It is neither comfortable nor ergonomic
these new concepts are cringy and not practical at all i hate it im sticking to my goyard card holder
Can't beat the basic card holder. I need to get a Goyard, love the design pattern they use on their products.
Old design is better...
Did they have a previous version of the cardslide box?
