- [Reviewer] Who makes the best wallet
you can buy in 2019?
Six of the best men’s wallets
I’ve sourced from around the world.
These wallets fall into the minimalist wallet,
or slim wallet category.
See which wallet you like best.
In sixth place, the Secrid Twinwallet.
Made in Holland, this twin design offers
the most storage from the Secrid wallet collection.
The unique selling point
that makes the Twinwallet stand out,
is the automatic credit card eject system.
Cards in the award winning centre aluminium
card holder compartment,
are RFID protected from digital theft.
Although the lever eject feature looks interesting,
I’d say it’s impractical to live with,
as the lever is not located where your thumb
or index finger rests.
I find the cash compartment is also difficult,
having to unravel the wallet
feels like it’s a hindrance, more than a benefit.
Undeniably, the material quality,
with its full grain leather exterior and aluminium centre,
really stand out.
The Secrid wallet remains massively popular,
and easily makes it onto my list.
It demands a deserved premium price,
although I believe difficult to buy outside of Europe.
Next on my list, the Urban Slim wallet from Key Smart.
This wallet is for when you’re wearing tight fitting jeans,
or you just need a minimalist wallet,
and don’t want to leave anything behind.
You have fast access card holder pockets front and reverse,
Full RFID protection for all cards.
And you have a centre section for cash, coins, cards,
or anything else that fits.
There’s a dedicated purpose-fit pocket
for an optional Tile Slim tracker,
which allows you to locate your wallet
with a mobile app, should you lose it.
This one has the most advanced material
out of all the wallets I’m going to show you.
Made from Tectuff,
it’s a high performance heavy duty material,
said to last up to ten times longer than traditional leather,
described as fused at the molecular level,
making it impervious to dirt, oil and stain penetration.
I was unable to defeat it with water, red wine,
or with used engine oil.
In fourth place, I have the original Fantom Wallet.
I’ve tested the newer Fantom R wallet also,
but the original wallet is still available,
and offers massive customizable choice,
for you to design your own custom wallet
from their online configurator.
In particular, I like this one for the optional coin holder.
The Fantom wallet is the only wallet today,
with a dedicated coin compartment.
Unique to the Fantom wallet,
is the fan like action for fast credit card access.
I used this wallet extensively,
as it’s great to live with daily.
It’s fun to operate,
and almost weightless in this carbon version.
On the reverse is a money clip,
for cash or business cards.
I prefer to push cash in the card compartment,
where it’s tucked away safely.
This real carbon version doesn’t have RFID blocking,
but all other Fantom wallets do.
In third place, is the awesome Flipside 4 wallet.
This is the wallet I personally use every day.
I’ve owned the wallet around two years.
Card access could not be easier
with its simple flip over organisation.
Up to six cards go in the centre section,
and all benefit from RFID protection.
An ID card or driver’s licence can go here.
And a deep space here means you have room
for all kinds of extra things.
Specifically, this part is designed for cash,
but is a versatile space.
The build of the wallet feels over-engineered,
with the button and hinge
offering precision and strength.
The Flipside 4 has a hard-body polymer,
and is available in many colors.
It’s never scratched in my extensive use of the wallet,
despite keeping it in my pocket,
in contact with keys and coins.
It’s ultra-compact, with tapered edges,
making it easy to get in and out of tight fitting pockets,
and it will never damage your clothes.
The Mighty wallet from Dynomighty
made it all the way to my second place.
A cheeky design that’s hard not to love.
The Mighty wallet is made from a single folded
sheet of TYVEK.
This one is printed in a note paper design,
but it’s not actually paper.
There’s a wide range of designs to choose.
This is the cheapest wallet here so it’s worth a look.
The TYVEK material is what makes it so much fun,
it resists tearing and is super strong.
The Mighty wallet also expands,
making this both the slimmest wallet here,
and offers the most storage.
The traditional bi-fold design offers fast access
compartments in the centre,
and at the ends,
as well as two separate large cash compartments.
Watch my original Mighty wallet review
to find the secret compartment.
There’s no RFID blocking built in to this wallet,
but you can buy cards like this one,
that act as an RFID blocker
for up to three cards either side of it.
This is one I tested previously.
Before I reveal the final wallet,
just a quick mention that more information
is available in the video description,
for each product shown.
So check that out,
and subscribe if you want to see
more new products to feature soon.
In first place, the Apollo wallet.
A new Andar wallet.
With some of the wallets on my list being very niche,
the Andar wallet makes your safest bet
if you’re buying it as a gift for someone else.
Recently featured on my channel,
this is currently their newest design wallet,
which incorporates the best features
from wallets across the Andar collection.
The Apollo wallet will appeal to those that really want
a modern, RFID blocking, minimalist wallet,
and that also want a traditional looking wallet
with familiar materials.
What you’ll like most is the very premium
and impressive crazy horse leather.
They offer the Apollo in cork for a vegan alternative.
This one, in black full grain leather,
will be a popular choice,
coated with a special wax it gains character
over time as it's worn, changing appearance,
giving you an authentic glossy mature look.
You have quick access card compartments on the outside,
more credit card pocket slots on the inside,
and a money clip that allows for multiple cash bills
to be easily accessed.
All card pockets are protected
from unwanted RFID skimming, keeping your data safe.
