I can't recommend these types enough. Not this exact one but I can hold 10 cards with ease. I used to have one with a medal cash clip but the elastic band is 100% better. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/the-ridge-wallet-aluminum-cash-strap-gunmetal/6562657.p?skuId=6562657&extStoreId=266&utm_source=feed&ref=212&loc=20265459052&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAp5qsBhAPEiwAP0qeJujZANYV2ExVU4X-DaVzcGacm4j9j582gc5qG_AueMg604_5h750pBoCzGAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna get the solax pink one for $11 it's similar to what you posted but 1/7th the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridge are awesome and it's easily the best I've ever owned. However, I got mine before the company blew up in popularity and increased their prices by 200%. That same wallet on Best buy for $75 I got 7 years ago for like $25-$30 when they were just a small company lol I lost my wallet and when I went to replace it I saw Ridge more than doubled in price so I don't own one anymore 😞 If you found something similar for cheaper than its definitely worth it.

Tugboat Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 18 hours ago, adamq said: I use my phone case. The ottor box strata series is what I used for years, but they don't make them for my newest phone so I found one on Amazon that I like even better. 3 credit card slots (holds 6 cards easily) and a large pocket for receipts/cash. Added bonus is the flip over style case that has saved my screens from breaking multiple times. Tucch is the brand of this one These always just seemed like such a horrendous idea to me. I feel like they're designed for women who don't have real pockets. Which is understandable. But if you're got real pockets... Why would you not just stratify Wallet/Phone/Keys across three different pockets? Heck sometimes i'll even throw cash in a 4th pocket just because i can. Lose one or get one lifted, it's a major nuissance. Get two lost, it's pretty darn bad. Three is basically just, your life is over. Just makes sense to spread things around so even if something bad happens or you lose track of something...you've still got other tools of society to work with. I'm also a frequent public transit enjoyer though. Also just strolls in new places enthusiast. I just make sure to try to protect myself. Because the system is still very broken. But i'm also just someone who often carries my phone around in my hand instead of trying to fish it in and out of my pocket sometimes. One of the best parts of transit tbh. You can just screw around and do whatever you want until you get where you're going. But just flashing around a phone wallet in your hand just seems like a bait for real unscrupulous or unfortunately desperate people with nothing to lose. Not always even thinking rationally about things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you're got real pockets I actually wear basketball shorts a good 80% of the time when the weather allows, so generally I don't have real pockets. I also live in a town where the population is ~2500, and the big city we do our shopping in has about 15,000 so that kind of crime is never something I've worried about. And the biggest upside of the all in one package is, it's nearly impossible for me to lose or forget. I only ever have to worry about my phone and keys, anything else I'd need is in my car or wife's purse 😂 2 hours ago, Tugboat said: I'm also a frequent public transit enjoyer though.

Yep we are in two different worlds when it comes to this.. the only public transportation I've used in my life is the Union Station trolley in Kansas City when we visit my sister 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebestever6 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Wallet update I returned the wallet I bought last month there was a crack in the wood where the screws were so I was worried about the long term viability of it. I just purchased the code118 last night it has a life time warranty, is made of aerospace grade aluminum, and my favorite feature it has a little button that fans up the 7 cards at the touch of a button. Has a cash strap instead of a money clip but for $30 you can't beat the quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsung for SSDs, which i'd recommend for most things anyway. Depends a little bit on what you're wanting to do with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
