- [Reviewer] The wallet I'm going to show you
is manufactured in the Netherlands, Holland.
It's neatly packaged,
but they've not wasted any money here.
The external part is corrected grain leather.
This one is described as vintage Brown.
It has an abraded surface and wax finish,
that gives a stone washed look.
This natural material can be marked
and scratched over time,
which will give it more character,
and no two wallets will look the same.
You can choose around 20 different colours
and leather types, for your Secrid Slim wallet.
Personally, I'd like them to offer
a non-animal product alternative as well.
It's not intended to be the cheapest wallet,
Instead, it's a desirable item made with a lot of care.
Next we'll look at the core part,
the aluminium card protector.
It holds four to six cards,
four embossed cards,
or six flat cards in this center part.
It protects them from bending or damage,
and more importantly, protects your RFID cards,
that's your contactless payment cards,
from being scanned by somebody
trying to steal your cards data.
Almost missed this bit,
due to its popularity, there are counterfeit products,
a genuine one comes with its own
unique serial code for online registration,
after which you immediately receive
your certificate of authenticity.
The outer case allows for storage of additional cards,
business cards, receipts,
or whatever you can fit.
Remember that bank cards are better
in the aluminium RFID card protector,
which acts as your mini firewall.
The manufacturers say that you can store
another six cards in this external part,
but they can be a tight fit.
You have a dedicated cash slot
which works really well,
and allows for any sized notes,
not just the slimmer kind
that you might have in the US for example.
All of that makes it really practical,
and allows you to carry
all that you would normally keep
in a much larger, regular wallet.
All very impressive,
and I've not shown you the best feature.
So at the bottom
of the aluminium RFID card protector.
You have a lever which you push,
and your cards are ejected in a fan like fashion,
allowing for any of them to be selected immediately.
This unique feature, together with the security,
practicality, and storage,
really does make your old traditional wallet obsolete.
This will be much faster and practical to use
when you're paying for things in a store.
And if you're easily entertained like I am,
pushing the card lever never gets old.
The manufacturers say that the mechanism
can be operated 250,000 times without any problem,
which is all the more reason
to make sure you get a genuine product.
The eject mechanism offers another layer of security,
in that, you don't have to take the card completely out
of the wallet, to make a contactless payment.
When you operate the mechanism,
the part exposed card has sufficient radio signal
to cover short distances to pay for your goods,
but the signal strength will be outside
of the reach of digital pickpockets.
Next I wanted to find out whether you can put
less than four cards into the center card protector,
and for them to be held securely.
It turns out that you can.
I tried this with just one card, and it doesn't fall out.
In fact, the mechanism still works to eject it also.
Secrid slim wallet weighs just 72 grams.
It's 68 mm by 16 by 102.
In a traditional wallet, each of your cards
are separated by material in between them,
which creates added bulk.
In this clever design multiple cards
go into the center part, eliminating excess material.
This means that you can carry all of the stuff
that you already did, in a much smaller wallet.
