  • For many years this has been my favorite wallet. And while I have reviewed many good wallets I always come back to this one. Why is this?

    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
    HOW I REVIEW:
    As you might know from my „How I make a buying decision“ video: Rather than just looking at the pros, I like to evaluate the cons or flaws of an item and then evaluate if I can live with them. That is why in my video reviews I concentrate more on the cons of an item rather than going over all the features. Therefore everything shown is just a fraction of all the points that go into the verdict and score of an item.
    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A QUICKLOOK AND A REVIEW:
    A Quicklook usually covers pre-production units or items that I only used for a short period of time. While Reviews cover final items that I have reviewed intensively.
    LINKS:
    For all my videos I decided not to include links for the products. Everyone is living in different countries and therefore has to deal with different shipping and customs fees. That is why I would advice everyone just to Google the product within their country to find the best deals.
    For instance: I live in Germany, It wouldn’t make sense to give you a German link while you might be living in USA or Asia. I hope that is understandable.

    Have had this wallet for 2.5 years now. It has worked very well, although last week the spring mechanism, pulling back the button, broke down. I still had the receipt, so took it to the store I bought it from. Luckily, they could send it out for repair and it will be finished in a few weeks.
    Edit: just got it back after a week and it works perfectly again. Apparently, if you register your secrid wallet at the bottom of their website, you get an extra year of warranty. Hope that helps you out.

  • @WookiBeer
    @WookiBeer Před 4 lety +9

    I have the secrid for more than 3 years now. My moneyband was stretched to its limits just before the warranty ended. I sent them an email and got a new one for free. After my warranty a small spring inside broke and I sent them another email. They replaced the spring, once again for free. Such a good service.
    It may be more expensive than cheap knockoffs that are everywhere nowadays, but the service alone is worth it.

    I’ve had this Secrid wallet for years (at least 6) and it is still going strong. I love it. One thing that surprises me is that people say you need to fold paper money in half first to fit it in the plastic sleeve. I never do that - paper money fits in flat. Just line up the left hand side of the notes with the left hand side of the plastic sleeve, and then fold the wallet up. The paper money folds into thirds in the same way that the wallet folds into thirds. Maybe this way of storing notes is not for everyone but it works for me.

    • @JackPorter
      @JackPorter Před 4 lety +1

      That’s also how i do it, but maybe it’s because he doesn’t have a button to fasten the flap so it isn’t as securely fitted in?

    I have been using mine between 1 and 2 years now (the one with button to hold it together). I noticed cards become loose when you shake it violently. I am actually glad I am not the only one, I feared it was a problem of my particular one.
    I am very pleased with this one. The RFID protection was a must have since in the Netherlands we have RFID public transport cards and bank cards and I am paranoid. I was already minimalist with cash on my person, so this wallet is perfect. I keep six cards in the holder, two more in one of the extra storage areas together with a stamp card for the coffee bar at work and a business card with all my contact info (in case I loose it and someone honest finds it). I use the other area for coins in case I have to pay cash and it holds a coin for supermarket carts. I do only fold my euro bills once when putting them into the plastic holder. It sticks out when opened but not when the wallet is in closed mode so I don't mind and it makes accessing the billa easier.

Now I'm back in the U.K., I'm using the Trove wallet. I need to carry 10 cards and Trove is one of the few minimal wallets that can comfortably handle 10 cards plus cash.

    I was thinking of a buying a slim wallet and Secrid seems to be the best bet. I would like to know however, what you would recommend between the Secrid Slim and the Secrid Mini. I am asking this as I think the Slim wallet might loosen near the folding over a period of time, something that will not be the case with the Mini, as the button will always hold things in place. Your thoughts?

    @Buenomars Před 7 lety +1

    Oh? I would have thought having a hard-case wallet in your back pocket would make sitting uncomfortable... Anyway, what I don't like about these card compartments in modern slim wallets is they seem too small to fit sleeved cards (like my ID, which I keep protected in a clear plastic sleeve to prevent it from wearing out due to being frequently passed around) and laminated cards (like my library card). I don't know if you ever tried keeping such cards in your Secrid. And don't get me started on the coin issues!

    • @Youknowthebo
      @Youknowthebo  Před 7 lety +1

      It's not that uncomfortable in my backpocket. But if you wear skinnyjeans it might be uncomfortable in the backpocket.
      Yes, the main compartment is just for "regular" plastic cards. But I have a couple of laminated cards as well. I store them in the leather part.

      I own the Mani wonders wallet, and it's honestly just too bulky. The mechanisims are the same, how ever, the Mani wonders has a metal cover you need to open before you can slide the cards out in the Cascade fashion. I've also worn holes in my front pockets as the Mani wonders wallet is made out of pure metal, it eventually rubs a hole in the jeans. I would right recommend the secrid wallet over the Mani wonders wallet for sure.
      Bo, great review. I've been watching your reviews for some time now. Good job!

    • @Youknowthebo
      @Youknowthebo  Před 6 lety

      +Mark Jongko hey Mark.
      Good question. I currently have only one card with raised letters in it. It basically counts as two cards. So overall I have five cards in the maincompartment. As long as you don't stack the raised letters against each other, I would assume that in theory you can get four cards with raised letters comfortably into the maincompartment. But that's just my assumption because I don't have that many cards with raised letters to test it out unfortunately

    • @dlouievel
      @dlouievel Před 6 lety

      Exactly four with raised lettering. If it ever gets stuck. The lever has a salamander mechanism where it would split into two to just push 2 cards out. Then adjust accordingly. I live in the US and had the wallet for less than a month and am doing a trial and error, so far, best wallet hands down.

    I was considering getting a new Ogon or maybe a Secrid (as a Dutchman I can't ignore the latter). However, I was flying with your beautiful national airline yesterday and they were selling the I-Clip. 30 euros, so I decided to give it a shot. It's an interesting little thing. Very simple and super light weight. No RFID protection and no fancy shooting mechanism though.
    It looks well made, although I'm not sure how durable the construction is. The leather flap may be a weak area - time will tell. Maybe worth a review from your side? It's German :)
