Vaultskin CHELSEA Mens RFID Blocking Slim Leather Card Wallet - Minimalist Front Pocket Cardholder

**1 Year Update** : My precious!!!! I have no doubts declaring this the best wallet I have ever owned. Assuming they have maintained their quality over the last year; anyone looking for a slim wallet right now, you can stop looking, you found the one. --------- 6 Month Update: Still very snug, holding very well, this wallet is only getting better with age. I can find no signs of any form of stretching that would be out of normal. Holds my ID, debit, credit, sporting, Off Highway Vehicle, and health cards. Still leaving enough room for a small fold of bills for when I do carry cash. It is about 1/3 the thickness filled as my leather tri-fold is now empty making it is a significant decrease. In terms of quality, it is made of decent leather and is fairly tight initially. I will watch closely for the extreme stretching others have said to experience, although all natural leather will stretch to some degree. If anything out of the ordinary happens I will simply update the review. The sewing is my 'out of the box' concern with a seemingly odd choice to keep the same thread on the entire wallet. This is odd because the thread is fairly fine. While I have no doubts about its ability to hold the backing to the leather on the inside, piercing single layers of leather, it is also used to hold the entire wallet together along the edges. This means the thread is passing through a layer of leather, backing, leather, backing, backing, leather. The wallet is very slim, but compared to the fine thread used, it seems as though a more robust thread would be appropriate on the edging holding it all together.

I love this slimline wallet. It's currently holding 6 credit cards and my license. I normally also have some cash in the side pocket but not today. It seems like you could easily fit twice as many credit cards once broken in. The leather is soft and smooth with perfect stitching and breaks in quickly after just a couple of weeks. It's comfortable to slide into my front pocket so now I don't have to worry about leaving my old bulky wallet some place. I never liked to sit on my wallet as it bothered my back. I would highly recommend this to anyone who would like to simplify and slim down their wallet. 8 year update. Still have the same one. It’s such a great wallet. Years ago I was knee deep in the ocean and got plowed over by a big wave. The wallet got soaked. I completely rinsed it in fresh water and let it dry out. You’d never know it. It’s has a few tooth marks in it from my new puppy but honestly it still looks great. The best thing about it is it’s so small you carry it in your front pocket. Great wallet.

Well made and has a quality, soft leather feel. Fits a license + 3 credit cards perfectly. Highly recommended for those who carry multiple singles cards in their pocket.

CONS: - The more cards you put in, the looser the wallet becomes - Leather stretches out easily and doesn't return to its' original shape - Placing the wallet upside down can cause all the cards to slide and fall out from the inner pocket, and this is especially noticeable when you hold a lot of cards initially, then hold fewer cards later (the leather stretches out and doesn't return to original shape) PROS: - Very lightweight, slim and portable - The strap tab has held up well (this may vary for others, don't pull aggressively) - Looks very nice - Relatively high capacity for cards (about 7 in the inner pocket, 2 in the front pocket, and 3 in the back pocket; be mindful that the more cards you store, the more lose the wallet becomes) I've used this for a year and it's held up reasonably well. The biggest issue is that cards may fall out especially if you downsize the number of cards you carry later on. Be mindful to not aggressively pull the strap tab, that will damage the wallet over time.

*UPDATED* I recently noticed that the manufacturer/seller asked if I'd be willing to submit a video to demonstrate my proclamation that the wallet failed to block a 13.56 MHz RFID signal. I no longer had all of the original equipment I used in my tests. But I did get some things put together this weekend (5/4/17) after purchasing a shield to use with an Arduino Uno knock-off (Elegoo Uno R3.) I was unable to replicate any of the issues I said that I observed in my initial review. Although I was not using the exact hardware as I did for my original review, I'm not seeing that this would make any difference. So I'm currently at a loss to explain why I reported that I could detect cards that were inside the RFID blocking compartment. It is puzzling to me. For the sake of integrity and honesty, I have to retract my original review indefinitely. Should I encounter anything of importance or any other curiosity/explanation, I will update this review accordingly. I apologize if there was some sort of flaw in my original test that yielded false reports. Reviews are important resources for the consumer and vital to the success of products on Amazon. I've adjusted my star rating and added this update with the intent of communicating the doubt that I now have regarding my initial criticisms. If I made a mistake, I must apologize. I very much hope that if this was the case, my review did not affect a purchase of the product by a consumer who read my review. It may have represented an inaccurate portrayl of this product. I've left my original review below unchanged, only to not white-wash my post history. Please interpret accordingly. ******* End Update ******* The sleek efficiency of the design (including the material and elastic card-removal function,) are nice. I will not deny that. However, curiosity had me testing this (and a few other products) with redirect to their RFID-blocking claims. This wallet failed miserably, no matter where the card was positioned. The testing I ran was from the mid kHz frequency up to the advertised 13.56 MHz range. The wallet fared no better at blocking my reader than a piece of folded paper. (And this was using a low-power Arduino RFID scanner.) As far as build goes, it's a nice and convenient wallet. Though I wouldn't recommend putting much stock in its ability to attenuate the advertised RF.

Great wallet. Very nice leather.

This wallet is so compact to hold 4-5 cards, and some few cash(notes) . It’s so compact and comfortable. Little over priced . The quality of the leather is good though.

カードは最大６～７枚しか収まりませんが、コンパクトで胸ポケなど何処にも収まり良かったです。 価格は高いがしっかりした良い商品でした、とても満足しています。

Turns out I needed a slightly larger model than this one. Had a few more cards that needed to be carried around with me. But this one seamed otherwise well made and functional. Nice color too...
