Is it possible you can do an update on wear and tear and how it held up??? I just bought the D01 Dapper Bifold wallet, and so far that is the most expensive wallet I ever bought, so hopefully I won’t need to get it replaced after 6 months etc...
i just bought the dango R spec its red i paid 120$ and i gotta say the quality is unreal the functionality is amazing one of the best purchases iv ever made well worth the money
After seeing all dango reviews you have posted, I go for Dapper bifold. Thanks for all the great reviews and I can't wait to receive it this coming Friday.
Have the Dango D01 Dapper Bifold, went with the Bifold because I carry my wallet and phone in the same pocket quite a bit, the leather rapping completely around the metal plates keeps the screen on the phone from getting scratched. It also gives you an additional 2 pockets to carry cards or cash but I only carry 4 cards and 2 IDs. I really only like to carry 3 cards between the plates, 4 is doable but the loose plate starts to float with 3 cards it's a non issue. Bought the Dango after using Secrid Slimwallets for the last 7 years and wanted to try something different. The Dango is a really slick looking wallet, it is only slightly bigger than the Secrid, also own a Trayvax Ascent and the Dapper Bifold is still less bulky, I also carry one less card in the Ascent. The Secrid and Trayvax are easier to access cards from but the Dango is still convenient for the number of cards I carry.
i use a Ridge knockoff that i got from amazon for $13 bucks and i love it...mainly because it's the same dimensions as the credit cards themselves. This Dango seems just too big and bulky for the front pocket. Great review though.
keep in mind that if you're keeping cards like debit cards/ credit cards WITH raised numbers, it'll add up and make the fit a lot tighter. The cash goes on the metal plate sid, not the leather side.
I ordered one that’s very similar to that wallet called JexiCase it feels great, I love the strap, the lanyard, the comfort of having it in my front pocket and the fact that the price was literally 1/3 of the price of the Dango wallet
Man I just don't understand this review (but I appreciate it nonetheless). Looked at it while considering the M1 Rail wallet from Dango, figured I'd check this one out too since I have it. This wallet had been my EDC for about 2 years and aside from needing a leather polish, it's been amazing. First, on the side that holds the cards between the chassis and the floating plate, it wasn't loaded or unloaded correctly in the video in my opinion. The floating plate is just larger than the cards and the top corners of the plate function as thumb "grips". Instead of pushing ALL my cards up from the relief in the bottom to get the one I want in the middle, you use your thumb on your free hand to open the floating plate away from the chassis while having your two middle fingers wrap around under and through the relief on the bottom with your hand holding the wallet (that's why the relief is wide enough for two fingers, it's part of the grip of the wallet, which also explains the serrated edges on the chassis for grip on your index finger). You hold it like you're giving the "I love you" sign at a Kiss concert with the leather side to your palm. Plate opens up wide at the top and stays tight at the bottom like an accordion file, and you leaf through your cards and get the right one. It's literally a non issue. Storage amount is way off too because of how he loads this in the video. I currently have my license and insurance card (my easy access essentials) in the leather pocket up front. In the back in between the floating plate and chassis I currently have 10 cards of varying thickness and two business cards. I've never lost a card from here. Additionally, and just because it's annoying to show at Costco, I have my Costco card on the OUTSIDE of the floating plate but inside the band so I can just flash the top when I walk in without touching the card at all. I use the bottle opener at least once a month because my wallet is almost always the closest device with an opener, it works well, and I don't have to open any tools if I have my Leatherman on me to open a bottle. As for money, I have found folding it in half or quarter the opposite direction to how it was in the video makes getting the bills out faster. Yeah it sticks off the sides of the wallet a little but I usually only carry less than 10 bills at a time so no big deal. Having bills how he stores them lengthwise to the band) is sometimes a chore getting it folded into quarters, under the band lined up perfect 50/50, and into my pocket when I'm paying with cash and people are waiting. Despite the fact that I purchased the optional tool card as well, it turns out I don't use it so I can't speak to that. It's too thick for use with all my cards and frankly I don't think I miss it.
I have the same one but I think it's a Taiwanese brand. And I must admit I am so satisfied with that wallet I will never go back to the traditional ones.
Fantastic video! Definitely earned a subscriber! Discovered your channel as of late and I like the content. Thanks for the discount code. I checked last year's black Friday sale and it's better than that! I hope you get a cool commission. 👍A+
This style is similar to the iMossi London wallet which I currently have and still use. I don't think they make them anymore though. Sad because I really like it. Does the silicone get stuck in your pocket when you try getting it out?
I am currently carrying the Ridge wallet and I'm ready to switch to something else. The bolts that hold my Ridge together keep coming out and I lose them. I guess I just haven't gotten used to the idea that my wallet needs periodic maintenance. I have been carrying the Ridge for over 2 years now and I have had to replace screws twice. Have you had any issues with the screws working loose on this Dango?
I have both the Ridge and the Dango and I prefer the ridge because I carry 7 cards daily and the Dango s free floating plate moves to much for my liking where as the Ridge has no problem.
I’m glad I saw this video before I pull the plug. Because I would definitely want to put my credit cars debit card and license in it. Suggestion for a wallet that can store ?
Another great review , saw dango before, yeah not fan of the silicon strap. The design literally 2 fancy aluminum plates and a rubber band... the ridge is much better the elastic is hidden and it looks slick😁, btw your the only guy i know made a video comparison of t he ridge wallet and knock offs.. just awesome 😀
Oooh😳, now you really need to review the trayvax contour asap and compare the 2 😆 lol i think those two are the real competitors on tactical wallet with bottle opener gimmick haha.
I Just Bought This Dango D01 Wallet Dapper & Really Nice, Now When I Put My Credit Cards In It, My Cards Go In Between The Metal Aluminum Inside Right? Cards Go Between That Correct
Watches Galore I did a review on the Flipside 4. I absolutely love it. The problem is too many cool wallets to choose from and not enough time and money.
In functionality and practicality, I definitely go for Flipside 4 wallet after I see you struggling with inserting cards in this so called wallet.. Especially, I don’t like two strong metal pieces hold together by a piece of rubber band. Doesn’t make any sense in practicality and functionality. Sorry but good video though.. You make me choose the right thing.. Thanks..
My one question I have for these tactical style wallets with bottle openers and pry bars and glass breakers is,,, are they going to get confiscated at the airport? that might be the biggest advantage to the ridge,, its simplicity.
What I find annoying about dangos line up is that their wallets which have an open face for if badges etc are always on the pricy side, the cheaper ones don’t it’s irritating
They have this same wallet at Wal-Mart made by George. 15 bucks. It is the exact same design. Bottle opener and lanyard loop and all. I doubt the leather is genuine but I digress.
@@ChrispyThings I only saw it once at my walmart in North Carolina so idk if its an area thing or what but I saw it and had to buy it. I can't find it online anywhere either. One time thing I guess.
I was lucky to find a knock off copycat version of this exact wallet at Walmart in the clearance isle, and it has the exact same features. Its an EXCELLENT style of wallet, and its something i would recommend for anyone. The only real downside i saw with this wallet, compared to the old style classic one's, was that there was no room to fit any pictures of my family and loved ones; On the other hand, i already know what they look like, so........yeah, great wallet!!
@@ChrispyThings Here is one on eBay: www.ebay.com/itm/Men-PU-Lether-Money-Clip-Wallet-Minimalist-Slim-Credit-Purse-Card-Holder-Rf-G4N4/133202424722?hash=item1f037bb392:m:mTYM0SPOw_Pj6Ul0GRHXkbg
Hey dude love your video but can you get some cards with embossed letters and numbers? I can barely fit 5 in the back of this wallet comfortably due to the thickness with the raised letters. Think it would give us a little bit more "real world" reviews. Thanks!!
WILLIAM GRECO These are DEMO cards. I say it in every video. These cards are thick. Almost as thick as one of my “real world” embossed cards are with the raised numbers and letters. I have yet to find fake demo cards with embossed numbers on them. And no I will not be using my real credit cards. I made that mistake once and will never do it again. My demo cards are pretty damn accurate if you ask me.
@@ChrispyThings lol yea not asking you to use your own. I have just noticed my cards with the embossing fit differently and not flush as your demo cards. Bust out the old school typewriter and emboss your own :)
bought this and did not like it much, the cards you would normally use have raised letters/numbers which make it difficult (impossible) to put in the wallet, in the end I got the Dango Mi Maverick which is not leather and has pockets....for additional 3 cards.
I would have preferred to see it 1-1.5MM thicker, and thus allowing a few more cards, before the metal plate started “floating” around. I’m coming from a Ridge wallet, where you would easily get 6-7 cards in comfortably, and not have them moving around…I have two credit cards in the front leather slot, and it’s TIGHT…!!! Also, the slot on the back, into which you can put a few cards, is too wide, so your cards don’t stay neat and tidy inside the wallet. Again, design flaws that could be made better. . .
I bought one of these wallets a few months ago and have experienced a couple of problems with it. The leather panel is very thin and is glued to a backing, and after several months of stretching with cards in the wallet, the leather separated from that backing. I had to use some Gorilla Glue to put everything back together. I do not consider the really thin leather to be very high quality, so buyer beware.
I bought it directly from Dango, I have this model and their bi-fold pen wallet that I really like. It has the same thin leather that is glued to a black backing material of some sort. I think the leather stretches at a different rate than the backing, which can cause them to separate. You just have to be careful and watch for the leather coming detached from that backing material. It can be glued back together. @@ChrispyThings
I started off with an Aviator then moved to a Ridge and wasn’t changed anything for them. I think it’s because Dango use FedEx because the invoice came from them
Everyone giving it good review only just bought it. I ve had it for 2 years. Be prepared to reorder your debit/credit cards every couple months. Cards on not meant to be exposed. You're gonna end up destroying the edges on cards.
Every wallet that has cards pressed against each other will scratch. But once you get rid of raised number embossed cards, it’s just fine. Every b and these days offers flat cards so no reason to still have raised numbers on a credit card anymore
@@ChrispyThings I hear you brother, don’t get me wrong I love the wallet, it’s a new concept and a lot of imitation out here but I’m just saying. My 2 cents. Personally I think it’s when you always have to touch the edges of the cards to use them. The constantly having to go thru them on a daily basis and have them all touch each other all the time. Maybe I’m wrong. Just an observation. Take care!!!
whiteboyfanst I did buy this with my own money. Sorry I didn’t mention that in the video. But they did give me 10% off, the same 10% that everyone can get if they use the code in my video. I don’t receive anything from it.
Nothing wrong with that as long as you can pay it at the end of the month. Actually using credit cards responsibly is a smarter way to handle finances.
I am having a hard time understanding why I would buy a $100 metal wallet instead of a $30 plastic one. Ok great, it's super awesome aluminum. I am not using it to kill lions or anything. I just want it to hold my cards and cash.
I would have to say it does look cool but I would lose that aluminum floating piece seeing how I carry 15 cards a fresh light a pain and the knife everyday for work
Use the different tools and do a video of them in action. Glass breaker? C'mon haha! If you asked me, I think they just picked a corner and said, "Oh, glass breaker!"
@@ChrispyThings Of course you shouldn't but I do it by accident all the time. I have gotten away with it, 3 years with Pixel XL only one very minor scratch, no screen protector, and I've never cracked a screen in my life. Just very lucky I think.
A grown man who only carries 2 cards on him and a single $5 is definitely who this wallet is for. If you have a job, family & cash- go with a “money clamp” or a 32mm (1.25”) binder clip.
Just because I only had a 5 dollar bill on me when I decided to make this video doesn’t mean I don’t have a job, or cash. Also I carry 7 cards. But for someone to make a statement like that and then recommend carrying a binder clip for your cash? Please.
Chrispy Things I’m sorry I didn’t mean to put that personally towards you but I realize it does sound that way in my comment. I’ve never had a band wallet and keep seeing how great they are for everyone else but I just don’t think they are right for me. Clamping seems to work well but everyone is going towards these things. I will delete my comment.
As promised you did your review Dango wallet... let's just say I'm still waiting to see your Trayvax review. Dango Dapper is ok. I've seen some better ones by Dango. I'm not sold on anything that uses a silicone strap.. as it will break down and stretch out (I'm sure they will replace the strap... but after I've lost money or cards) Not big on the chassis size and hot spots by the look of it... or that tab! Or that I cant carry many cards or adjust to fit! And anyone can make a snake knot paracord lanyard! So to me that is a wash! I'm still a Trayvax Contour fan through and through and as I said, it will be the last wallet I ever need unless Trayvax comes up with something cooler. Still you have a brilliant unbiased (I'm not lol) review of wallets and I appreciate what you do and look forward to the next review which is why I subscribed after the Ridge. Keep it up Crispy😀 --Jon--
jon mcgaw I’m not sold on the strap yet. I’m not sold on the elastic on the ridge either but thankfully they sell both of those separately in the cheap. I’ll be doing a Trayvax review soon after my Ridge giveaway next week. Can’t wait to check them out! And thanks for your support. I appreciate your feedback. I’m still super new at this and learning as I go. Your feedback helps!
Bro I got this wallet today.. its TERRIBLE... Do you guys not know how wallets work? I want to open my wallet and instantly take out what I want, not fumble around and crap.. This is a TERRIBLE wallet.. TERRIBLE..
It’s not that hard to use. Lol. And what do you mean by you guys? I don’t work for Dango. All I did was review this for my channel. And it works perfectly fine. Maybe a rubber band would be more your skill level?
No, crispy, I still vote ridge. I lose other usability for glass breaking and bottle opening? Maybe if I was a beer guzzling hoodlem, but I’m not a hoodlem, and I got a bottle opener. Plus, looks and is bigger. It’s not minimalist if it does things that wallets generally don’t do. Silly.
Chrispy Things lol! No way. You might as well be crispy wallets. I’m doing as you suggested, writing my opinion, and I want “least is more, “ and that’s ridge. That is minimalist-ist. Now, i get they’re tsa safe and I don’t know if you traveled w ridge but I get tsa won’t take it away, but do they open it up and empty it’s contents. ?
berk arslan Not really sure why they would empty the contents. But it will definitely pass. The Dapper is definitely a minimalist wallet, just not as minimalist as a Ridge.
I got this useless wallet with my EDC Club. I also got a useless and dangerous pocket scalpel. EDC Club has gone down hill. I’m cancelling. That lanyard is great for pickpockets and your money will fall out of that strap after a few weeks of use. Total garbage. If you want a free wallet, look in my trash.
Chrispy Things, I just tried to put about ten bills under the strap and they hang out of the wallet. Hard to get to anything. I guess if you have a drivers license, a credit card and an ATM card, and no cash, I guess it could work. Nothing against you, your video was done well. I just hate this wallet.
If you’re folding in half it could be problematic. I usually fold into 3rds or quarters. But 10 bills folded into quarters adds a ton of thickness. If you carry a lot of bills, this isn’t the wallet for you. Don’t throw it away, sell it. There are plenty of people who’d love to have that D01.
@@ChrispyThings You are rushing through the video and flipping the wallet around. Some of us would like to take a second to look at the wallet after you describe, please stop playing with it so much. Maybe more people would like the video.
luethboy I make the videos the way I want. If you don’t like how I do things, don’t watch it. Or...you buy this wallet and do a review on it the way you want. How’s that sound to you? I think we all know the answer to that.

So how do you rate the Dango wallets compared to all of the other slim choices?
Can you compare that to its knockoff zeeker wallet from aliexpress please.
Is it possible you can do an update on wear and tear and how it held up???
I just bought the D01 Dapper Bifold wallet, and so far that is the most expensive wallet I ever bought, so hopefully I won’t need to get it replaced after 6 months etc...

Kevin S I also have the TrayVax Ascent - is the Dango smaller than the Ascent?
i use a Ridge knockoff that i got from amazon for $13 bucks and i love it...mainly because it's the same dimensions as the credit cards themselves. This Dango seems just too big and bulky for the front pocket. Great review though.
derwood I bought a few Ridge knock offs that I’m comparing for my next wallet review next Sunday. Thanks for your feedback!
Just doesn't seem like you're enjoying this as much as the ridge so I'll stick with the ridge . Thank you for your reviews because they help me a lot.
lol i agree
Question, I like the idea of this and the Ridge, however with the cards being tightly packed together, when removing them do they get scratched up?
keep in mind that if you're keeping cards like debit cards/ credit cards WITH raised numbers, it'll add up and make the fit a lot tighter. The cash goes on the metal plate sid, not the leather side.
Question. Do all of your cards have raised numbers?
@@ChrispyThings 5 out of 8
2 of 7 here. I guess if you had 5 raised number cards it would raise it slightly.

I’m coming from a Ridge wallet, where you would easily get 6-7 cards in comfortably, and not have them moving around…I have two credit cards in the front leather slot, and it’s TIGHT…!!! Also, the slot on the back, into which you can put a few cards, is too wide, so your cards don’t stay neat and tidy inside the wallet. Again, design flaws that could be made better. . .
Super
Nice wallet. But I’m like damn 100 bucks for a wallet. Are you really getting your money worth?
I bought one of these wallets a few months ago and have experienced a couple of problems with it. The leather panel is very thin and is glued to a backing, and after several months of stretching with cards in the wallet, the leather separated from that backing. I had to use some Gorilla Glue to put everything back together. I do not consider the really thin leather to be very high quality, so buyer beware.
Did you buy it from Dango or one of the knockoffs? I’ve seen plenty of cheap knock offs of Dangos design on Wish that have terrible quality
I bought it directly from Dango, I have this model and their bi-fold pen wallet that I really like. It has the same thin leather that is glued to a black backing material of some sort. I think the leather stretches at a different rate than the backing, which can cause them to separate. You just have to be careful and watch for the leather coming detached from that backing material. It can be glued back together. @@ChrispyThings
How could that glass breaker possibly work?
Anyone in the UK getting a Dango wallet, you’ll be slapped with import tax on top of the cost of the wallet. I was stung £27.50 for the Dapper Bifold
Is it only for Dango products or anything being imported from the U.S to the U.K?
I started off with an Aviator then moved to a Ridge and wasn’t changed anything for them. I think it’s because Dango use FedEx because the invoice came from them
Craig Matthews I wonder if someone could request another carrier from Dango that doesn’t charge those prices.
@@ChrispyThings Good idea. I'll suggest it
I’d really like to see the Maverick & the dapper side by side.. I currently have the dapper but I’m considering getting a maverick.
Eyebedam I did a Maverick review. Also the T01 is very similar to the Dapper but with a bifold. I compared the 2 in that video. Thanks!
Everyone giving it good review only just bought it. I ve had it for 2 years. Be prepared to reorder your debit/credit cards every couple months. Cards on not meant to be exposed. You're gonna end up destroying the edges on cards.
Every wallet that has cards pressed against each other will scratch.
But once you get rid of raised number embossed cards, it’s just fine.
Every b and these days offers flat cards so no reason to still have raised numbers on a credit card anymore
@@ChrispyThings I hear you brother, don’t get me wrong I love the wallet, it’s a new concept and a lot of imitation out here but I’m just saying. My 2 cents. Personally I think it’s when you always have to touch the edges of the cards to use them. The constantly having to go thru them on a daily basis and have them all touch each other all the time. Maybe I’m wrong. Just an observation. Take care!!!
is this sponsored by dango? did you buy this with your own money?
whiteboyfanst I did buy this with my own money. Sorry I didn’t mention that in the video. But they did give me 10% off, the same 10% that everyone can get if they use the code in my video. I don’t receive anything from it.
Is there a slot in the middle as well? Making it 3 slots?
There is a spot in the middle between the leather and the plate but it’s not meant to be used.
@@ChrispyThings thank you
Your videos deserve more like, comments, shares and subscription

Yeah but does tsa make you take apart your wallets ??? Anyone know?
berk arslan This is tsa safe.
So many cards means you don't have money you leaving on credit.
Nothing wrong with that as long as you can pay it at the end of the month. Actually using credit cards responsibly is a smarter way to handle finances.
Guys check out the flip side wallet it’s the best and cheapest option I haven’t looked back since.
I love the Flipside! I did a review on it.
I am having a hard time understanding why I would buy a $100 metal wallet instead of a $30 plastic one. Ok great, it's super awesome aluminum. I am not using it to kill lions or anything. I just want it to hold my cards and cash.
sevenrats It’s all about priorities my friend.
If the lanyard makes it easier to pull out, makes it easier to finness
$69, to make finding a credit card a pain in the ass? No thanks.
Those lanyards are great for people in the pickpocket business, also. 😁
I would have to say it does look cool but I would lose that aluminum floating piece seeing how I carry 15 cards a fresh light a pain and the knife everyday for work
*flesh
Flesh light? Work?
Can you take this on a commercial flight?
AC Reddy Yes you can.
I have flown with mine several times.
This version is just a 4 to 5 card holder... anymore than that just defeats the purpose.
Use the different tools and do a video of them in action. Glass breaker? C'mon haha! If you asked me, I think they just picked a corner and said, "Oh, glass breaker!"
It does come to a semi point. But does it break glass? I don’t know. Haven’t tried it yet.
the silicone strap is what turned me away. dry and brittle in due time.
I hope that glass breaker doesn't work phone screens that happen to be sharing a pocket.
I never put this in the same pocket as my phone. Or my phone with keys. It’s metal. It’ll scratch the glass of the phone. Not recommended
@@ChrispyThings Of course you shouldn't but I do it by accident all the time. I have gotten away with it, 3 years with Pixel XL only one very minor scratch, no screen protector, and I've never cracked a screen in my life. Just very lucky I think.
Un beau portefeuille en cuir pour mettre(carte bancaire /cartes de fidélité /papiers importants et carte d'identité /ect...) sera toujours mieux.
The dango would be a good alternative for the ridge wallet if it was $30. But for the same price, definitely go for the ridge wallet.
I had no ideal the wallet I got from Walmart was a knock off
A knock off of this wallet? Dango doesn’t sell at Walmart.
That lanyard looks like the things they used to have on flip phones w hello kitty on it. Forget it
A grown man who only carries 2 cards on him and a single $5 is definitely who this wallet is for. If you have a job, family & cash- go with a “money clamp” or a 32mm (1.25”) binder clip.
Just because I only had a 5 dollar bill on me when I decided to make this video doesn’t mean I don’t have a job, or cash.
Also I carry 7 cards.
But for someone to make a statement like that and then recommend carrying a binder clip for your cash? Please.
Chrispy Things I’m sorry I didn’t mean to put that personally towards you but I realize it does sound that way in my comment. I’ve never had a band wallet and keep seeing how great they are for everyone else but I just don’t think they are right for me. Clamping seems to work well but everyone is going towards these things. I will delete my comment.
No it’s fine. I just thought you we’re speaking about me. Keep the comment if you want. But you’re right these minimalist wallets aren’t for everyone.
As promised you did your review Dango wallet... let's just say I'm still waiting to see your Trayvax review. Dango Dapper is ok. I've seen some better ones by Dango.
I'm not sold on anything that uses a silicone strap.. as it will break down and stretch out (I'm sure they will replace the strap... but after I've lost money or cards)
Not big on the chassis size and hot spots by the look of it... or that tab! Or that I cant carry many cards or adjust to fit! And anyone can make a snake knot paracord lanyard! So to me that is a wash!
I'm still a Trayvax Contour fan through and through and as I said, it will be the last wallet I ever need unless Trayvax comes up with something cooler.
Still you have a brilliant unbiased (I'm not lol) review of wallets and I appreciate what you do and look forward to the next review which is why I subscribed after the Ridge.
Keep it up Crispy😀
--Jon--
Sorry... Chrispy not Crispy
jon mcgaw I’m not sold on the strap yet. I’m not sold on the elastic on the ridge either but thankfully they sell both of those separately in the cheap. I’ll be doing a Trayvax review soon after my Ridge giveaway next week. Can’t wait to check them out! And thanks for your support. I appreciate your feedback. I’m still super new at this and learning as I go. Your feedback helps!
Ekster are the Best Wallet Ever
Bro I got this wallet today.. its TERRIBLE... Do you guys not know how wallets work? I want to open my wallet and instantly take out what I want, not fumble around and crap.. This is a TERRIBLE wallet.. TERRIBLE..
It’s not that hard to use. Lol.
And what do you mean by you guys?
I don’t work for Dango. All I did was review this for my channel. And it works perfectly fine.
Maybe a rubber band would be more your skill level?
Looks good for scratching cards.
The Lanyard would help a pickpocket to steal it
Curtis Barker Then don’t use it.
They cheaped out on materials. Genuine leather is low grade. You want top grain.
This is top grain. But they say “genuine top grain” leather. I wish companies would stop saying that.
hate aluminum, scratches easily
No, crispy, I still vote ridge. I lose other usability for glass breaking and bottle opening? Maybe if I was a beer guzzling hoodlem, but I’m not a hoodlem, and I got a bottle opener. Plus, looks and is bigger. It’s not minimalist if it does things that wallets generally don’t do. Silly.
berk arslan You’re schooling me on a wallet? Lol. Please continue...
Chrispy Things lol! No way. You might as well be crispy wallets. I’m doing as you suggested, writing my opinion, and I want “least is more, “ and that’s ridge. That is minimalist-ist. Now, i get they’re tsa safe and I don’t know if you traveled w ridge but I get tsa won’t take it away, but do they open it up and empty it’s contents. ?
berk arslan Not really sure why they would empty the contents. But it will definitely pass. The Dapper is definitely a minimalist wallet, just not as minimalist as a Ridge.
I’ll stick with my Trayvax Wallets
It's not slim, my leather folding wallet is 1cm thick, this is 1.5cm.
Lol. Ok 👍🏻👌🏻
The "D" isn't silent.
The “D” in what?
I got this useless wallet with my EDC Club. I also got a useless and dangerous pocket scalpel. EDC Club has gone down hill. I’m cancelling. That lanyard is great for pickpockets and your money will fall out of that strap after a few weeks of use. Total garbage. If you want a free wallet, look in my trash.
We couldn’t be any farther away from agreeing with each other.
Chrispy Things, I just tried to put about ten bills under the strap and they hang out of the wallet. Hard to get to anything. I guess if you have a drivers license, a credit card and an ATM card, and no cash, I guess it could work. Nothing against you, your video was done well. I just hate this wallet.
If you’re folding in half it could be problematic. I usually fold into 3rds or quarters. But 10 bills folded into quarters adds a ton of thickness. If you carry a lot of bills, this isn’t the wallet for you.
Don’t throw it away, sell it. There are plenty of people who’d love to have that D01.
Chrispy Things, Good idea. Perhaps one of my kids would like it. If not, you’ll see it on Ebay! Have a good night.
these wallets are money making scams, they are a lot heavier and uncomfortable to carry in your pocket than a normal bifold.
That’s true they are heavier. But why is it a scam?
I don't think I would buy this product
omg, can you stop moving so fast?
What?
@@ChrispyThings You are rushing through the video and flipping the wallet around. Some of us would like to take a second to look at the wallet after you describe, please stop playing with it so much. Maybe more people would like the video.
luethboy I make the videos the way I want. If you don’t like how I do things, don’t watch it. Or...you buy this wallet and do a review on it the way you want. How’s that sound to you? I think we all know the answer to that.
Uh looks really clunky
Not perfect 😑😑
This looks cheap to me.
The eye makes it possible to wear around your neck
And why would anyone do that?
