    Yes, the Peak Design 30L Travel Backpack is now officially out! This smaller sibling to the 45L Travel Backpack was definitely intriguing and when I got my hands on it, I had a LOT of questions and I go through them all in this in-depth review of the 30L Travel Backpack.

    This is quite the unexpected product for Peak Design to create but as far as a minimalist wallet goes, it's pretty solid with options to stick to my Everyday Case BUT...I really just used it as a standalone wallet. For the minimalist pros, what do you think about the Peak Design Slim Wallet?

  • @calahad
    @calahad Pƙed 2 lety +33

    Spoiler alert: You are not supposed to cram 8+ cards into it plus cash, just because you somehow managed to do it, doesn’t mean it’s supposed to be that way. Using it optimally would eliminate two negatives right from the get go. The max number is 4 with 3 cards being the best ratio between being slim and useful.

    • @Paa375
      @Paa375 Pƙed rokem +6

      Agree completely miminal wallets are exactly that they are not meant for as many cards you can fit. Throws off the mechanism system for sure. 4 cards is a typical amount for minimal carry

    When pulling the tab out, flip it over to the back. There's a magnet in the back that will keep the tab there. Then, it's easy to grab to close the wallet when the cards are back to the bottom of the wallet.

    • @GoingAwesomePlaces
      @GoingAwesomePlaces  Pƙed 2 lety +4

      Great tip! Forgot to mention that as I’ve done it on a few occasions. That said I’ve found that in scenarios where I need something quick, I often forget to do that. Also when the tab is fully extended out, there’s nowhere for it to rest backwards and when pushing the cards back in, that’s where I can run into trouble.

  • @jm32145

    Try putting the number of cards they say it holds instead of overloading it. Maybe it will spread as deaigned then?

      Isn’t the whole point of MagSafe and MagSafe wallets is that they are intended to go on the phone and be used with the phone. If you don’t like that system why not just buy a regular non MagSafe wallet? Confused

 it’s fine lol. Even if someone uses it that way 99% of the time they still may value being able to slap it onto their phone. Not sure why that needs explained. I keep mine off of my phone about 50% of the time because I simply don’t like how it feels when using my phone.

    If I put my Presto card on the outermost side can I tap it on the TTC readers without taking it out?

      @GoingAwesomePlaces  Pƙed rokem

      I haven't tested that yet so TBD but if I were to do it, I'd have it on the front side of the wallet (away from the magnet). I can see it working since the fabric there is quite thin.

      Also I see it comes to $110 Canadian with taxes and shipping (I’m also from Toronto) do you think it’s worth it? I need a new wallet and want the option of MagSafe and just a decent smaller wallet too that holds 5-7 cards. I have no parking slip but it’s good to know it would wipe it out. Thanks!

    • @GoingAwesomePlaces
      @GoingAwesomePlaces  Pƙed 2 lety

      Yes this wallet works with any MagSafe cases. It’s definitely an expensive wallet for what it is. I say if you like having your wallet attached to your phone and are a fan of minimalist wallets, it’s worth considering.

    • @GoingAwesomePlaces

      They wouldn’t because the magnetic flap closes up and holds everything in.

      I have the loop as you know and the wallet sticks to the case quite well. The magnet is strong. I would imagine the same strength without the loop.

    Trying to put a large wallet's worth of cards and cash into a minimalist wallet sounds like the wrong philosophy of use for this wallet.
    As a true minimalist, who carries just ID, Debit card, and credit card + 2 notes, it seems perfect

    If you need to store 8 cards, the MagSafe wallet is not for you, go for a actual purse.
    MagSafe wallet is meant to be on the go like for a short lunch and dinner, without grabbing a lot of things in your short pants, etc. Not for the occasion like for a trip which you will required a pouch to store your purse, airpod, power bank etc.
    Example of MagSafe wallet usage: going out for a quick lunch with colleagues, that’s it. Neat and tidy.

    • @GoingAwesomePlaces
      @GoingAwesomePlaces  Pƙed rokem

      Are you using a Peak Design Everyday Case or attached to a naked iPhone? I’ve definitely found that the connection is really strong within the ecosystem so it’s amazing against the Everyday Case. On the phone itself it’s just ok. I think the big value prop of using PD is that they’ve improved the magnet strength but their array is different from Apple’s magSafe which I find pretty weak with most accessories.

    Why tf are you cramming several times the amount of cards a literal slim wallet is designed for then proceeding to complain that it’s not working well as if it’s an inherent design flaw?
