Grip 6 Wallet Review: Innovation but with a FEW problems

- You may know Grip 6 as a company that makes really cool belts. But they're trying their hand in the minimalist EDC wallet game and to be honest, it's a strong effort. And is only a few problems away from having something great!
From the Grip 6 Kickstarter:
We engineered the GRIP6 Wallet with the determination to make it the quickest and most intuitive way to access and use your cards. Simply squeeze and credit cards emerge, perfectly arrayed for immediate access. Release your grip, and the cards drop down, locking in securely.
The wallet is beyond tough. We built and tested the wallet to last over 100 years. The internal lift system is tested to well over 500,000 cycles (and going), the wallet is corrosion resistant and thoroughly impact-tested. We construct it right here in Utah out of American aluminum, stainless steel, and high-strength polymer. In other words, it will last you your lifetime, backed by our Industry leading “A3 Guarandamntee.”
The wallet comes optional with a high-quality leather sleeve for those of us who are “minimalist-plus,” allowing you to store cash or just more cards. Without the leather jacket, the GRIP6 wallet feels strong, sleek, and space-age. With the leather, the wallet feels more traditional but maintains strength and quality. We’ve also included the optional FingerLoop™ at no extra cost, which increases control, pocket access, and is fun to use.

They fixed that issue!! Love the wallet and love the belts!! Made in the old USA!
Good review. I appreciate testing things to the extreme.
I was also a Kickstarter backer. I just got my wallet - It works fantastically. Love it. They must have made the adjustments in production because I don't have the issues you outlined. Great review.
I’m still waiting for my version 2
Honestly, that was an absolutely great review of a product... Cheers
Great review! I can't see paying $80 for it though.
I really like the idea of this wallet! Great review! Just wish there was a option money clip on it, for the little cash I carry
I agree
Selena Quintanilla its literally the only reason I haven’t bought this 😕
@@jj3164 I don’t even carry cash anymore these days so I don’t think it would be a deal breaker but you can get the leather sleeve for it that has slots on the side and he put 5 20s in the one side
I would love to see them add a money clip built into the case for those of us who carry some spare cash for tips an other t
I am old school, if you can't but bills in it, I do not consider it a wallet. Sorry, I will stick too my bi fold leather wallet.
I was hoping for a video on this I have the ridge wallet and I hate it this one seems great
A money clip is also useful if you are wearing sweats of shorts without a back pocket. U can attach your wallet to the waistband via the money clip.
That is so so cool
Great vid, thanks for sharing your experiences of this product so far. Grip6 seems to be addressing the issues that they have gotten from user feedback which is good. Rather have them do this instead of pumping out bunk items to backers. Hopefully all these challenges are resolved prior to shipping the remaining wallets to backers.
I hope so. Because this wallet could be awesome.
Back to the drawing board.... I’m still going to buy one.
I definitely would not get the leather sleeve. The idea of a minimalist wallet is to carry less and make it thinner. If you’re going to carry all those cards you might as well just use a regular wallet!
Even if you get the pre-stretched leather it’s an issue. When the leather is stretched enough to prevent the issue, it doesn’t fit properly (too loose). It seems to me the better solution is to make that strap just a tad slimmer.
Great video. Just got mine and although the leather is nice it's definitely to small and obviously there's a problem with the design which causes the cards to fall out. I was hoping that I could put the wallet on my belt but I guess that was not part of the design.
I have two of these and I love them one with the leather sleeve I have had no issues at all love them
If they improve it more it can compete with the ekster ones. My perfect wallet is a an xtso wallet with the push mechanism
Nice design. I hope they fix that problem. Until then, they ought to call it the “Throw Six,” instead of the “Grip 6.” LOL!
And forget about that huge finger loop. WTF?
I like the design ( if they can fix the problems ). That finger loop though...... ugh. I wear a chain on my wallet , not because I love 1995 so much, but because I always lost wallets in the past. That would be nice for a chain , but the last thing I need to pull out of my pants when the police ask me for my I.D. Is something metal that looks like it has a trigger. They’ll be holding a candlelight vigil for me.
ha Great post. sad but true.
Hands up!
👀
Want to place order and still can’t decide with loop or without. I see with loop is probably little bit more popular. Any suggestions?
I Love my grip6 belt and the USA company. Once this product is worked out it will be another great product.
10 cards with a money clip and id be 100% sold. gotta have my money clip. seems like a great wallet. I currently have the cheap TG wallet and it's served me well for 2 years and shows no signs on slowing down. i paid 7 dollars (*shipping*) via an instagram ad. best seven bucks i ever spent. For anyone worried about all the paper and business cards they store in their current wallets my advice is make the switch and keep your old wallet in your center console with all the necessary but infrequently used items like SSC, medical cards, dental cards, pictures etc. totally worth it. i will never sit on a wallet or have one blow a hole in my pants again. might buy this despite not having a money clip, assuming they fixed the leather sleeve issue.
Will this replace your ridge wallet once the trigger is fixed? I'm happy with my knock off ridge, by the look of it 2 to 3 cards in each side of the leather case would be the best fit
I like the Ridge wallet better. But my edc has already been replaced by the Contour and M1 rail. I go back to Ridge in certain occasions though. IF Grip 6 fixes these issues it’s a contender.
@@ChrispyThings just looked at your review of those two, i still prefer the ridge for size and simplicity, but the one thing they all lack is proper carrying and concealment of cash, can you do a test for me, put 6 cards into the grip and then put cash in the middle of them and see how it works, i love the fact that the grip pops the cards up and you can access each one without push any aside, if it works normally with cash in the middle and it's relatively easy to get out that would seal the deal, fyi i fold my notes into 3rds
W0rp3D I’m out of town working for the next 3 weeks. So I can’t test much with my wallets being home.
I like that something new is available. Gonna be hard to steer me away from my ridge wallet and trayvax wallets. I go back and forth between ridge and trayvax and will probably stick to those 2 brands forever
I have a Popov wallet. I plan on reviewing it soon!
Chrispy Things never heard of it so looking forward to it as well. Gonna go on a limb and say it still won’t replace ridge or trayvax haha. But who knows 🤔
Cards with numbers stamped into them slide together differently. I think that might/probably change the results of your tests. Especially with the
1. number of cards that fit
2. The shooting cards out issue.
3. Whether the fan of cards when you push the lever is as smooth.
Also, i am wondering how a driver's license would display out of the window in the leather sleeve.
They don’t change my tests much.
Late to the game here on this review but, outside of the RFID shielding (which can be had by any number of other companies) and the mechanism of the wallet, there's no real benefit. I have an old leather wallet that has some degree of RFID built in. I can access all my cards (it'll hold more than this wallet) AND it has a place for cash. If I were to get this wallet, and I wanted to carry the max cards and cash, it's just as bulky as any wallet ever produced.
I have most of the Trayvax wallets, numerous kydex wallets. But by far my Secrid slim wallet is my favorite. It hasn't let me down yet. Not sure about Grip6 yet. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching
They should put that leather sleeve wrapped around the finger hole so they won't have that problem but just saying
Its not a wallet if it doesn’t carry your Identification information. It’s a card holder. So now you have to remember to carry 2 things.
What do mean if you carry cash , its supposed to be a wallet. I feel they should have done more testing , then selling.
I think the key loop will be handy when customers leave it on the wall key rack.
It carries my identification information. Therefore, it’s a wallet.
Also, if it carries more than cards, it’s no longer a cardholder. If it’s no longer a cardholder, it’s a wallet. Do you not agree?
This was fun. Stop by again sometime 😂
If you put the side section in some warm water, not hot, just warm, leave it a minute and stretch away, problem solved, put it back on with a tooth pick on either side, when it dries, you'll never have another problem 👍
Thanks!
Would you suggest buying one with or without the loop?
Without. Unless you want to look cool twirling it like a 6 shooter every time you pay for something.
I’ll pass. The loop looks silly to me. Just my opinion.
anyone know if they have a plan to release a "fixed" version?
Absolutely. They’ve been working on a version 2 for months now.
@@ChrispyThings thank you!
Seems like secrid has it beat.
Nice review but big problem...your "cards" have no raised numbers like a CC. My CCs got jammed and did not staircase.
I have raised number embossed demo cards and they’re slightly thicker. Not much.
My personal CC is no longer raised number. It’s flat.
All raised number cards should be phased out. They’re obsolete.
send it Jackson
All of these kind wallets are never friendly for those who need to do grocery shopping with coins shopping carts regularly, except one Germany company. Btw, the pop-up mechanism is new and good, though.
Yes Aviator. They make minimalist wallets with a coin tray. I’ve done 2 videos on their wallets 👍🏻
Chrispy Things Really hope we can see them in the North America market one day, 😔
Chrispy Things Sorry, my friend, I have double-checked. The one I mentioned is SecWal but Aviator. It's way more decent than most pop-up wallets in markets. Hope we can see you unbox it one day.
All them cars will stretch that leather for sure
8:34 What would happen if you did the shake text with only the 3 cards or even 5 cards and less?🤔🤔🤔
Where do put Cash in the Wallet for my Strippers 🤣😂😆🤣
Just hand the whole wallet to the ballerina.
Anyone still watch this video?
It's like a Cross breed of Trayvax Axis and Secris
Biggest problem with crowd funding take the money and knock out any old shit
Where do you put your money your cash that while it sucks
Wha?
Chrispy Things Where do you put your cash in that so called Walet
Come one, who would buy this with all those problems?
No thanks, go get the ridge or something
Dark Wish The only problem seems to be with the leather sleeve. The wallet itself is awesome and works well! There’s a lot to choose from out there but from what I’ve seen this is the one I would go with!
Trayvax wallets are the way to go
A leather sleeve that’s a bit too tight? Mmkay.
Love the belt. Wallet? Pass.
Because it’s leather and it will eventually stretch out on its own.
Yes thank you 👌🏻
That’s one one of the most uncomfortable looking wallets I’ve ever seen?! Imagine having that in your pocket with that huge finger loop.....!!💩👎🏼
Ha. It’s actually not too bad feeling in the front pocket.
You can get it without. That’s what I’m doing.
I have this wallet with the finger loop. I was a bit worried at first, but it works great. Firstly, I never feel the loop in my pocket. Ever. Also, the loop actually helps when you're pulling out the wallet, since it's easier to orientate which direction the wallet is facing when you're about to pull it out. :)
Just be careful going for your wallet with the police around...
Lol yeah. Good advice!
They should just dump the finger loop and move the strap higher. The loop looks incredibly pointless and obtrusive as well. Why would you ever need a finger loop on a wallet in the first place? Would just make it goofy to carry and obviously defeats a much more useful feature. Terrible design choice.
The finger loop is optional.
@@ChrispyThings I'm aware. It's also the reason they designed the leather sleeve the way they did... to fit and account for the loop.
They’re currently working in version 2. Basically scrapping this wallet all together. I’m curious to see what they’ll do.
EKSTER wallet is better!
These wallets just seem so gimmicky
Francisco Ordaz Id have to agree that some are definitely gimmicky.
No thanks not for me
Thanks for watching!
