- [Reviewer] In this video,
I’ve picked out five of the best wallets
you can buy right now.
A slim wallet for your everyday essentials.
Which minimalist wallet design will you like best?
Okay first, the Walter Wallet.
I purchased this wallet for less than $12,
which is a great feel-good factor.
Walter Wallets are sustainably produced
in the Netherlands.
The recycled cardboard packaging looks great,
and your Walter wallet is also fully recyclable.
I wasn’t expecting it to look this good for $12.
There’s a wide choice of colors
and even printed designs.
I think blue looks fantastic.
The textured finish feels great.
So the point of this wallet,
is that it offers fast access to your credit cards.
Up to seven cards,
depending how many have embossed writing.
I’ve got a mixed bunch here, mostly embossed.
They meet an intentional point of resistance,
where pushing them past a certain position
secures them, so they can’t fall out.
It’s a clever design with minimal components.
You thumb cards forward from either side.
Top points for functionality.
The second slot is for folded cash bills
or shopping receipts,
which couldn’t be easier to access.
By the way,
aluminium is available if you want to spend more,
but honestly the polymer material is outstanding,
and you won’t be disappointed.
The aluminium variant offers anti-skimming
protection for your contactless payment cards.
We’ve had a lot of wallets on the channel,
and this is by far the most satisfying to use.
Just for fun we’ll score each wallet out of ten,
giving the Walter wallet full marks.
Vote for your favourite wallet.
You’ll see a pop-up top right and the end of the video.

So next, the only soft material wallet of my selection.
Sticking with the theme of
affordable wallets throughout,
this is the Nomatic Slim Minimalist Wallet,
an everyday carry card holder for keys,
cash, and coins, I paid just 19.99.
There’s a choice of four colors,
black, grey, mint, and red which looks amazing.
What do you think?
It’s main USP is this pull tab for
fast access to your credit cards.
The body is made from a medical grade
knitted elastic material.
The pull strap is nylon.
And the pull tab is genuine leather.
Quite surprising again, to unbox such a high quality
product given it cost so little.
So you can see the easy operation of the pull tab.
That works great.
Taking a closer look at its operation,
we can see its simple pulley type action.
It looks robust, so far I like it.
Be sure to read the card loading instructions,
or you may be putting all of your cards here.
Actually you load the wallet with cards in two places.
Those loaded in this side benefit
from pull tab access.
On the reverse you can store cards
you don’t need to access as often.
It’s expandable to hold up to 14 cards.
Peeking here we see two pockets for other items.
I found cash goes nicely here,
and a couple of coins or a key in this pocket.
My score nine out of ten.
As always, I’ve experienced each product hands-on
to give you the best information,

Next up the Decadent DM1 Minimalist wallet.
We had a look at this in detail a few weeks back,
and for disclosure,
this is the only wallet here that I didn’t buy myself.
Decadent Wallets sent me this wallet.
Decadent manufacture the wallet in-house
in the United States,
and like the others we’ve seen so far,
it offer’s maximum practicality
and fast access to your cards.
Cards are seated in the central channel
with a satisfying click.
Its unique wrap-around design
and exposed card face,
allows you to just shuffle cards forward
to fan them out.
You can thumb cards from either side,
making them all easy to pick out.
Even one card can be held securely.
You can order in three thicknesses,
designed for up to four, eight, or 12 cards.
Now the one I have is Titanium,
which actually is a little pricey,
but ignore that because there’s a stunning range
of colored anodized aluminium Decadent wallets,
which drop them into the sub $50 bracket.
I just didn’t have an aluminium one to show you.
You can store cash, by pushing between your cards,
or with the optional money clip.
I’m gonna score the Decedent Wallet a nine.
This one, I don’t know how to pronounce,
but with a channel name as stupid as mine,
I’m not gonna throw stones.
The soft touch box is nice if you’re buying as a gift.
The first thing to note is the quality
of the removable outer case.
This is full-grain crazy horse leather.
Which is good value.
I paid just under $35 dollars.
This type of leather will gain character over time,
giving a rugged authentic glossy mature look.
There’s different leather types
and color to choose from,
but sadly I could find no animal-free option.
A new wallet will need to wear-in
before your card slots become more supple.
An outer pocket is also ideal for folded bills.
An aviation grade aluminium central card holder
provides RFID protection for your credit cards,
keeping you safe from digital theft.
They advise up to five cards storage in this part.
I tested it with six cards
as mine weren’t all embossed,
and with just a couple of cards,
but find the mechanism requires more force
than is comfortable to make it work.
It does have a smooth action however,
and separates the cards evenly.
Described as a hybrid wallet,
you can use it without the case.
You can also buy additional cases,
or you can order the aluminium card holder by itself.
It looks great with or without the case,
and it’s supplied with two money bands
for folded bills.
I don’t think you’d want to use it without
the leather case,
as the edges are pretty square cut.
Not great when in contact with your clothes.
I’m scoring this wallet a seven out of ten.
So next, not necessarily in any order,
is the Card Blockr from Conceal Plus.
There’s more information
about the products shown in the description,
as well as product links.
If you use a link to buy an item I may earn a small fee from that
at no extra cost to you.
This wallet doesn’t inspire confidence
when you first unbox it, as it does rattle.
The outer case folds opens
to access two soft lined card pockets.
Each can hold around two credit cards.
You also have a place to secure folded cash.
This makes the wallet quite versatile,
and provides much more space
than some of the other wallets.
The more interesting part
is the pop-up eject mechanism.
Again we have a central aluminium card holder.
It holds six cards, or four embossed credit cards
in the RFID protected center.
With one card in each of the outer case pockets,
and with a few bank notes,
it still closes securely with the press button,
and retains its same uniform shape.
With cards and cash loaded it feels complete,
it no longer rattles as much,
and I can appreciate it a lot more.
There’s lots of pop-up style wallets,
and they generally,
all have the eject button in the wrong place.
This one has the lever exactly where your thumb
will naturally rest, making it very intuitive to use.
It separates your credit cards evenly.
This style is PU carbon fiber and red edging.
There’s around ten different styles
of artificial leather to choose from,
and some with different color aluminium centers.
See which you like best.
I score this one an eight.
