    This is exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for! I currently use a coin purse, and I like the compact size - it suits my simple needs well - I just don't like that there aren't separate compartments for coins and notes. Definitely going to look into this one more. Thanks for the review!

    Great review of a great wallet. I have had it for a few weeks and it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. It is a perfect compact wallet and as we transition from cash to contactless in the UK )there are shops that do not accept cash nowadays) this is the perfect wallet. I have to admit I am blown away by this wallet that I am thinking of getting the compact wallet for travel as well.

    Ah! So bummed I missed the giveaway. I have a very similar wallet, but it only has one outside exterior slot, and the zip only runs along one side which can be quite cumbersome. This wallet (and some of the others you reviewed) meet my needs perfectly! Thank you so much for such a helpful review

    In continuation of my last comment - a wallet I've been looking at is the Lethnic zip wallet. It's very similar in terms of pockets/accessibility/simplicity, but price is much more affordable - which works well for my uni student budget :) Cheers!

    • @TripAstute
      @TripAstute  Před 4 lety +1

      If I were buying one for the first time, I think I would probably choose the Nodus Compact Coin. I like the extra features and outside pocket. Though I have to admit that I'm still using my Bellroy Card Pocket, mostly because it's managed to last for so long (4+ years). 😊

    @0:49.. the beautiful city of Bath. I was actually born there :-). The wallet is gorgeous, but a bit too pricey for me. I have the Vaultskin Nottinghill and just ordered the Bellroy Card Pocket. The Nodus looks like something in between those two.

    Nice thorough review with excellent camera work, as always! Quick question: The Nodus internal pockets seem 'open' (flappy?) compared to the Bellroy Card Pocket's. Is this an issue, however small, in your use of the Nodus?

    • @TripAstute
      @TripAstute  Před 4 lety +1

      The Bellroy Card Pocket has more elastic sleeves. That being said, I didn't notice any issues when using the Nodus Compact Coin Wallet. But that might be because I have too many credit cards being stuffed in the sleeves. 😂

      I used to play the ukulele, but it's definitely been a while. When I lived in Virginia, I joined a Meetup group that taught me how to play, and I really enjoyed it. I just haven't had the time since I moved back to Los Angeles. 😄

    The very last time I carried cash was last March when I visited San Francisco! Other than that it’s been almost five years I haven’t carried cash ... I know why : I’ve once lost $220 and I vowed I would only carry cash unless it’s utterly necessary.

    • @TripAstute
      @TripAstute  Před 5 lety +1

      Wow, that's impressive. I feel like I still need to carry cash in Los Angeles, especially for parking expenses and some restaurants. Though I always ask if they take credit cards! 😊

    Which one is better bellroy card pocket o nodus compact card

    • @TripAstute
      @TripAstute  Před 3 lety +1

      They both are great wallets. The Nodus has more pockets and compartments, but my original Bellroy Card Pocket is still in good shape. Though when it eventually falls apart, I'll likely switch over to the Nodus Compact Coin or WaterField Design Finn Access wallet.

    Top grain leather doesn't age to a patina. You need full grain for that.

    • @TripAstute
      @TripAstute  Před 5 lety

      Good to know. Thanks for the heads up! Interestingly enough, the box says full grain, but the website says top grain. I might need to ask Nodus to get the exact leather type. 👍

    How do you like this wallet compared to the Bellroy card pocket?

    • @TripAstute
      @TripAstute  Před 5 lety +1

      They are very similar. I like the exterior pocket of this wallet and the key slot. I'm still using my Bellroy Card Pocket at the moment, but once it's worn out, I will likely move over to the Nodus Compact Coin Wallet. 😊

    • @redrum_5.021
      @redrum_5.021 Před 5 lety +1

      Trip Astute I just ordered the navy bellroy myself. I do like the key feature and the exterior card slot on the Nodus myself but I was not sure if it was as compact as the bellroy. Are they a similar size? I might have to check one out as well.

    • @TripAstute
      @TripAstute  Před 5 lety

      There are definitely a couple of wallets that have a similar design and profile. The Nodus Compact Coin seems like something between the Bellroy zipper wallets (Card Pocket & All Conditions) and WaterField Finn Access. I love the inclusion of the external pockets and key slot! 😊

    who wants to fold bills in thirds and stuff it in some nook or cranny ? do people not use cash anymore

    • @TripAstute
      @TripAstute  Před 4 lety

      It's definitely a trade-off between convenience and wallet size. I still carry cash, but I have to admit that I'm using it less and less each day. It seems like more "cash-based" businesses (e.g., parking, food trucks, etc.) are starting to accept credit card these days, which is much more convenient.

    I'm a bit late to this party. I bought a Nodus and their warranty is hot garbage.
    The zipper broke on this wallet less than halfway through the warranty period and I've sent literally a dozen emails to them asking for a warranty claim since April and gotten nothing but an automated response back. I've sent to every email address I can find for them online. I can only assume that since I'm an international customer, they don't need to care because I'm not about to open up an international court case about it.
    They still email me their marketing offers though, so that's nice.

      Yeah, it might seem pricey, but it's definitely good quality! A wallet is something that I use every day, so I don't mind paying a little extra for the quality. Though that's just me. I don't drive an expensive car, but I used to spend a lot of time stuck in traffic, so go figure! 😄
