The Aluminum cardholder does not have a dedicated spot for the tracker but you can slide in it in the cash band side or behind the backplate. What separates the aluminum cardholder from their other wallets is the expandable backplate which can help hold 12+ cards.
This wallet is the perfect wallet for minimalists who only carry a few cards and every now and then dollar bills.
The aluminum cardholder might just be the best minimalist wallet you will need.

ive come to a point in my life im watching wallet review to figure out which one to buy
Ikr
I ordered the AngryJoe red one and it’s pretty freaking dope. This version has a bottle opener lol
Lol I'm searching for one for my husband
Welcome to adulting I love it
You know your adulting when you review the reviews so you can make sure you can leave a good review.
Finally someone actually shake and turn it upside down to test whether the card will fell out. Good and simple review, thanks
It’s 1am, i ate a quick snack, watching wallet reviews now because I just bought this. Life is good
just gained a new follower after watching one video! love how in depth you get! thanks for the time!!
Your's has been the best critique and explanation of this item out of all the one's listed on RUclips. Even Ekster. Thank You.
Thanks for the information and the opportunity for a discount 👍
Just placed an order! Thanks for this review
Thank you just helped me decide to order this waller
thanks for the review!
I'll tell you why I would remove the back plate. It makes it thicker, I only bring 4 to 5 cards with me, so no need for the plate. I would just keep the strap for cash. It looks alot cleaner without the plate.
Awesome video mate :)
Thanks for watching 😁
Money is tight right now but if i were going to get one of these futuristic minimalist wallets it would be one from this company .
May get one on my next check
I got this wallet and love it. It is my favorite wallet by far.
Is it still 55 dollars
How is it holding up?
Love this wallet and thinking about getting it (or Ridge wallet), but I love that clock you have in the background on your desk. Who is it by and where can I get one? Thanks in advance.

This wallet is 🔥. Let me know if you have any questions.
The link doesnt work :(
@@luluhika5754 just check and the link is working. Once you click on link, on the website there will be a green bar and says discount will be applied at checkout so you have to add the product to cart and check out to see the discount being applied.
I used your link and I'm at the checkout page and yet discount isn't applied🤔
@@hiralparekh7096 Just checked and since there is a black Friday sale of 30% off, it beats my 25% personal discount code so it is already applied on the page. For example, the Parliament wallet is $89 originally there is a 30% discount. so it ends up at 62.30. Let me know if you still don't see their black friday sale. I can contact them.
Only showing 20% for me
Got it and love it.
Dig. How is it holding up after a year? Just purchased one for myself.
@@davidwhite206 Still using it daily. It has held up well, but the strap lost elasticity months ago.
Thinking about getting the aluminum, but really want the tracker. I have only 5 total cards to put in. Does the tracker slide around when you put it in the aluminum? Can you keep bill and the tracker in the aluminum without any issues? Also got an ID I wanna throw in the mix. Thanks!
Is the trigger supposed to get stuck after you pull your cards out? My other esker wallet didn't do that.
That discount link in the description, not sure if it's deactivated or if I just messed up. But there was a 20% storewide already going which is good enough, and beats Amazon.
Is there a reason why your link doesn't give the additional 5%??? Since there is.a valentine's sale at the moment
Imma use this for my yugioh deck 😎
Can you do a comparison between the Aluminum vs Senate 3.0? Thx
Thank you for your suggestion. I will try to squeeze in that video.
Nice review! Where and what is that pixel clock from?
Thank you. It is called the Divoom Pixoo Pixel Art Frame. video link:

Can u put the tracker in the backplate with a couple cards as well ? I have at least 8 cards and wanted the tracker as well but am not a fan of the bifold version
Do you have issues with metal cards? I have two of them and 95% of my cards are not embossed. I got this wallet snd it seems with a couple good shakes the metal card have issues staying. Anyone else?
If you put just 1 card in the toggle compartment will it be more likely to slide out?
Actually my first concern is If the trigger stops working how do I get my cards out?
It's been three months, how is the wallet?
I like this alot and like the wallet one cuz it has a specific space for the tracker... So my total as in my cart is $102....is that with your discount you giving us or no? Need you're help please before I buy. I'd like to use your discount so I can give back to you for ordering from your referral. Please.
I honestly love it and I just ordered two, but I kinda wish it didn't have the name on the side. It would've been PERFECT T-T
Exactly my thoughts. The logo on the leather of the strap is more than enough.
I’m only able to fit 5 cards, not 6 as advertised. I have my ID in the external space, and it’s not as secure as I’d like. For the price, it’s not as great as I expected
I tried to purchase this using your link but they say they don't ship california where is live! Do they ship to USA at all?
What about like 5 credit/debit cards with 2/3 insurance cards? The insurance cards are usually like paper thin
I like the fact the cards don't fall out if you only have a few cards in there. If you look at the reviews of other brand this is an issue. It's just a shame these wallets are so expensive.
Idk if you play video games but a youtuber called rocket sloth does halo videos, he has a link with a discount. Thats why im here, it just so happens I need a wallet. Mine keeps destroying the 'tap' function of my debit card.
I just got the Eskter card holder wallet for this Christmas and the video helped me organize my frequently used cards and stuff. As @japsniper1980 shared I agree and didn't realize these wallets are expensive. Thank you, GH Tech Review. - Bob
Which of the three is your favorite?
I just received my wallet today and I'm excited to start using it . Only thing is that back part for the extra card holder with the strap seems mode difficult to use and not so efficient. Idk maybe I just gotta get use to it.
Did I get use to it?
how is the wallet holding up
This shit is dope!
I just want a wallet that doesn’t bend my cards , definitely need a upgrade
CAN I put samsung t7 ssd in it? If i can I am into this!
I brought one and now all my cards are stuck in there it won't come out
My concern is that the release button will accidentally get pressed while in my pocket or while I am taking it out of my pocket and all the cards will fall out. Have you had an issue with this?
That has not happened to me at all, the cards won't go flying out when you press the button since on the inside there is a strip of fabric that creates friction to stop the cards as they are being pushed upwards.
I still can’t decide between the two
It fits only 5 cards. I am a minimalist but 5 cards ?? I bought one and it came without a strap ? The grip 6 is a better option for me

not really a review that can be relied on when you're benefiting from sales, but thanks for the overview.
💯
How long is shipping?
i didnt get rfd security with mines. Did u have to buy that separately??
it comes integrated into the aluminum wallet, the thick layer of aluminum blocks the RFID waves. Are you missing the backplate?
@@ghtechreview oh ok I got that. So its like the watchdogs games. it suppose to prevent people from hacking into your card wirelessly?
@@KISS_MY_CONVERSE never played that game, but yeah RFID transmits data through the air so it can be read by nearby contactless readers, so the thick layer protects that data from being captured by unwanted readers.
I’m curious, can you use the ekster tracker with this? I would love to get this wallet if it can easily pair with that
The tracker itself pairs with your phone. The parliament wallet carries the tracker. I’m not sure if this aluminum wallet has a pouch for it.
Did you guys even watch the video? He explicitly covers this.
What about drivers licenses, vehicle registrations, proof of insurance, concealed weapons permits and other such items that are not cards?
This wallet is not suitable for someone that carries a lot in their wallet. For instance, for those that keep their vehicle registration and proof of insurance in their car (for those with digital copies on their phones) and only just have a few cards.
does the card mechanism work if you only have one card?
Yes it works with one card but you might run the risk of the card sliding out.
Having trouble deciding between the aluminum & the senate. Which would you recommend?
They both are an excellent choice. I personally like how the aluminum cardholder looks and it can carry more cards, but if you won't be carrying that many cards and you plan on buying the tracker then the senate one is the one to go with.
@@ghtechreview thanks for the quick reply and appreciate your recommendation. Does the aluminum one scratch? I’m concerned about dents and scratches.
@@sbodi so far, I haven't gotten any scratches on it yet. I have only dropped it once on wood floor.
@@GerardoHernandez-yl6dd Went with the Midnight Blue Aluminum Cardholder. Excited for it to come in. Thanks for your review and answering my questions!
@@sbodi how was. It? Any scratches? Sometimes my keys are in pocket.

better than grip 6!
really. how so? trying to decide
Will this hold metal cards?
I’m trying to decide between the Ekster, the Ridge, and the ole reliable leather wallet 😭
Technology filled leather wallet, the aluminum thing with only a bungee strap holding it together, and the ol' reliable
DZ family sent me over here//How do I order one
what do you mean by "embossed"?
raised letters or numbers
4:13, what is that wallet? It looks like it has an extra case over it, that's the one I want. Can you tell me name please?
That one is the Ekster Parliament wallet.
@@ghtechreview Has to be damn near the fastest response to a comment in history. LOLOL
Thanks man. Good vid.
Does the tracker come with the wallet
No, you have to buy it separately.
Any update on if it’s scratched at all? I really like the design of the aluminum wallet but don’t really want it if it’s going to scratch easily
So far I have dropped it once on wood floor. It hasn't shown any scratches so far.
@@ghtechreview thank you!!!
I bought 2 of theses on aliexpress but I'm not sure if they are legit
Is there any way to remove your cards if the release mechanism breaks?
I am wondering the same
throw the wallet at the ground and boom, card confetti
Violently shake they’ll come out
Is the wallet still holding up after a year of use?
Yes it has been. It did get a few small scratches on the backplate over time, but it's nothing to drastic.
@@ghtechreview That’s Great to hear, I recently bought one and this vid has solidified my thoughts on this seemingly great wallet. Thank you :)
So this wallet isnt good for ppl that have more than 5 cards?
Well you can carry 4 more in the backplate without sacrificing how much cash you can carry. I carry 5 in the casing and 2 in the backplate for a total of 7 cards and it works out for me.
Ekster Vs. Ridge
Thoughts
Ekster wallet's trigger breaks after a couple years and they just tell you to buy a new one because it's not covered under warranty. Horrible.
Its a great wallet in terms of build and quality but if you carry your wallet in your back pocket then this will truly disappoint you when the tracker stops working….. the tracker needs to handle flexibility and pressure better………4 out of 10 stars…… No Cap!
Please do everyone a favor and never say "no cap" ever again!!
I just received my order today, it didn't come with RFID protection. :(
it comes integrated into the aluminum wallet, the thick layer of aluminum blocks the RFID waves. Are you missing the backplate?
@@ghtechreview thank you for the answer. The striped plate wall is indeed intact. I didn't notice it right away.
Yooooo 25% discount not applying
Where do you put the ID
Behind the backplate, I have my ID behind my best buy credit card.
Where's the long term review?
Man this in 12 card version. Why the fuck doesnt it exist. I dont want any pockets or other shit. Just a case that holds cards and a button that is placed nicely that wouldnt break (happened with secrid)
I bought it and all the cards fall out.
5 colors not 4
Already scratched from flat surface ekster has no comment they're saying that its my fault...
You got yours for free ?? Ill just wait for them to send me one for review also lol
Secrid has been delivering this kind of wallet for atleast 5 years. And guess what? Secrids are even slimmer and cheaper. That's the only thing taking me away from Ekster.
I agree
Secrid design is older. Cards fall out with a shake as well. Also, the button has been know you catch on the pockets
@@mattnguyen1672 you can sent it in and they tighten it for free. Every cardholder will have this issue over time.
AirTag parliament 2022 edition
Was thinking about buying an ekster wallet until they advertised on cnn ……. That’s when I new everything they say about it wasn’t true ! Go ridge wallet
The only good product from Ekster is the wallet . Stay away from any of the keychain , trackers and accessory products . The wallet tracker is junk and has no battery life. The keychain fell apart and the washers- screws went everywhere. And the battery stopped on that too within 2 months . The wallet is holding up fine and is very convenient.
Still holding up to this day? Just ordered one yesterday for Father's Day.
drop on the floor once, and its broken, avoid, better buy cheap 3 dollar card holders from aliexpress, will last longer
01:32 - If Tesla would make a wallet it would quickly rust and fall apart....
this is not a fully accurate review. I just ordered this wallet and it's the worse. In order to for the cards not to fall out you need to put as many as you can. if you only have 3 cards you want to put inside this won't work. Even if you all the cards, with a quick shake all of the cards fall out. The elastic is the worse! cards move around and the more you put the tighter ...but if you reduced the quantities the elastic is not as strong anymore. I don't know why this review doesn't spend some time on the cons and real-life usage.
Not very cash friendly.
That’s the point lol
its a card holder
Lier 6 peaces also fall out
Bought it very unfair, even 6 peaces fall out, 7 dont but with 7 it does not com out good when u press the button
This wallet is junk. No place to put coin away. Money strap outside. And its hard case like look tough on your pants.
Apple of all wallets? So overpriced garbage got it not buying ty 🙃
Is the button also aluminum? The plastic button broke for my last 2 on the previous wallet.
