Ridge wallet any good? Alternatives?
Ridge wallet any good? Alternatives?
Find myself getting lazier on my days off and wearing draw-string pants or shorts for comfort.
Unfortunately, they don't really support the weight of a traditional bi-fold and I find myself putting a few cards and some cash in a ziplock bag wrapped with a rubber band. Ghetto.
Wondering what minimalist options are available which don't make me look like a complete bum.

I had one and returned it. I found it a PITA to get the right card out without pulling them all out. I ended up with something cheap like this from Amazon. I've had it for 5 years and love it.

Ridge is so overpriced. I got the knockoff and think the quality is identical if not better.

I’ve got a brand new in box Fantom wallet. It’s aluminum and has black leather insert. Nice quality. 8-13 card capacity.

I’ve been using this for a year and still love it. Would never go back to a normal wallet. https://www.ekster.com/

I’ve used a titanium Ridge for maybe four years. Zero complaints. They already sent me a spare elastic free of charge in case this one ever breaks.

I have the same wallet and have for five years. Got away from my bifold saddleback due to its thickness. Travelambo is thin and keeps everything organized.BacoNoir wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2024 9:58 amI had one and returned it. I found it a PITA to get the right card out without pulling them all out.

I’ve been using an OG 3-pocket Slimmy for over 20 years now (I’ve owned 4 over that period). They come in a variety of leathers and styles, and once you go front pocket wallet, you’ll never go back.

I’ve been using a Saddleback front pocket wallet for years. https://saddlebackleather.com/leather-wallet-mens-front
The design seems to have changed a little bit since I bought mine, but it works well for my needs. Takes a beating too.

Secrid makes great wallets that are tiny and protect from CC cloning.
Come in different shapes and sizes, top notch quality.

I use a Ridge and would stay with it. They are great for carrying but access to the cards is not super easy. Not a problem for me as I tap my phone for the most part.

Re: Ridge wallet any good? Alternatives?
Hi guys,
I love minimalist wallets and tried several over the years. I was disappointed with Fantom wallet, found it far more bulky that it seems.
I have settled for 2 at the moment. Currently using Goove Life and Walter Wallet.
The Groove Life I wanted one that slides up and it has the latch at the top to hold cards in. It's OK but I find the surface quite smooth when you slide it up but otherwise it's ultra slim, holds 6 cards.
My favourite though is Walter Wallet. They are from Holland and ultra minimal. They hold 6 cards, ultra slim. It is the smallest one I have found so far in relation to card size. And it's the cheapest. All metal case and available in a range of colours. The only ripening have is if are not holding a finger above the cards, when they 'pop up' they can shoot out.
