Hyper-longterm review for an amazing wallet
This is a hyper-longterm review for this wallet. My Amazon acc says I bought this in 2015 and it's been my daily carry to this day, so roughly 9 years. As you can see in my pictures it's battle-scarred accordingly.What I liked:- Durability- Compact, but not too light- Capacity and organizationDislikes:- Cash fold part doesn't hold too muchI bought this when I moved from the traditional multi-fold wallets to something a bit more minimal since things were becoming more digital. However I favored this option because it left me some leeway for when I needed to carry additional bills and/or other ancillary cards. Currently it houses:5x Flat cards, 1x Embossed in the Card-Slide mechanism1x Embossed, 2x Laminated (healthcare/library cards) in the center card pocket1x Laminated, 2x paper, and 1x embossed in the outer card pocket.The durability is there, it's survived many falls and the leather has held up well over the years. It gets marked, but it's only aesthetic and hasn't affect functionality (it lives in the pocket with my keys). Futhermore, the stitching for the inner pockets are holding up well considering how much I've stuffed into them. The card-slide has been loose for the past couple of years but I worked around it by stuffing more cards inside of it. I think this was only rated for about 4 embossed cards when I bought it which was good enough for the time, and even better now that banks are starting to issue non-embossed as standard. The amount of cards I put inside the mechanism hasn't affected how smoothly it pushes out, but I do have to be careful when I take one out to pay as the others get loose and can slip out on their own. I've almost lost a few cards this way.I liked that it never gets larger than a credit card in the X-Y directions, so it fit in my pockets while allowing me to put other things in there. It also has some weight to it, which is good because I determine if my wallet is on me based on how heavy my pockets feel. This is the only wallet I've never lost.The organization is intuitive. I put my most used cards in the slide mechanism, and things I want to keep on me but never really pull out in the inner pockets. The cash fold is the weakest part and my only gripe. You pretty much have to put in a bill folded in half, and the wallet folds it again, so essentially it thickens by 4x in your pocket in addition to the cash-holder's plastic. I had trouble putting 2 bills into that and eventually just started folding the bills to a larger dimension and sandwiching them between the RFID metal and the outer pocket. It feels a little uneasy in case things just slip out, but it has worked for me.All in all I highly recommend this wallet. I'm in the market for a new one because I didn't want to gamble with the loose card slide any longer. I was strongly considering all the wallets you see advertised on social media these days, but they all felt like a downgrade from what this offered. Those competitor products do have accessories that could make up for it, but it still feels like a downgrade, having to fork over more for feature parity. I'm looking at the other offerings from Secrid and I think I'll stick with this battle-tested brand.

Unique and Quality Wallet
I had trouble justifying the price of the wallet when the time came to replace mine, but I could not be happier with the choice. It is compact and the lever to get cards so smooth (sounds strange but you will understand if you buy this product). It also comes with a 3 year warranty, so that may help justify the price if the quality/craftsmanship is not enough. The only negative aspect of this wallet is that it does show scratches/scuffs. This is not a deterrent for me.. in fact, I think it accentuates the aged look of my brown wallet. If this aspect really bothers you, remember that it is leather and scratches/scuffs should come out easily with leather cleaner. *I have not tried this so I cannot confirm or deny the effectiveness.. simply speculation based on experience with other leather products* To surmise - this is a fantastic, unique wallet that is elegantly crafted.I would also like to thank the seller, Brandz 4 Less, for their excellent customer service. They did NOT give me this product for free or any sort of discount. I am simply recognizing that they went above and beyond to help me exchange the wallet (two different times) so that I could receive the perfect product.

Best Wallet I've Ever Owned
Best wallet I have ever owned. If you want small/compact then this is the one. And it actually holds more than you think. It certainnly held more than my previous wallet which was a bit larger, plus this has the RFID protection. I purchased it for the RFID protection and the size, but then discovered the terrific feature which allows you to eject some fo the most used cards (this is where the protected cards go, btw). They are still held firmly in the ejected position (you can hold onto the cards and the wallet will not fall to the floor). Having this feature allows you to access those cards without opening up the wallet.I purchased mine with the help of a gift card I was given. That paid for part of it. But now that I have it in-hand, have seen it, have used it, I will not hesitate to buy another if it is ever required. IMO, it is worth the price, because it is everything *I* want in a wallet.

Well made and slick !
Beautiful wallet, very clean and slick! Love the feature where the cards shoot up in a fashionable order with a click of a button instead of having to open your whole wallet!Unfortunately, to small for my partners cash and cards to all fit in. Would recommend though!

Amazing.
I love great design, functionality and simplicity. It’s only been a week, but so far the Secrid mini wallet checks all these boxes. Aside from its utility and seemingly strong build, this is a wallet you feel compelled to use. It’s just nice to handle and manipulate. Can’t stop messing around with it. If you’re a true minimalist, probably not the wallet for you, what with the ejection mechanism. But I love it.

Nice surprise
This wallet has everything I need. Holds 6 cards plus extra inside wallet. Great way to downsize. The trigger is fantastic to push cards up. You get what you pay for when it comes to a wallet that is used daily.
