hey dude! I discovered your channel a few weeks back and i must say, this is probably the best review channel on youtube! I admire the consistency among your videos and how you keep your bias at the very minimum. i have no doubt that this will be a very big channel in no time. keep up the good work.
+Dynamic Duo true, but the amount of haters and rude comments grow as well unfortunately. But I'm very helpful for the overwhelming support. Really appreciate you being a subscriber for so long. Thanks, mate
I gotta say your videos are stellar. I discovered you through your North Face Access pack review. I enjoy your videos very much. I watch them even though the product being reviewed is not of interest to me. :)
Another great video. I I think the added space for the button is forgivable as long as it is in pocket parameters. Speaking personally the pocket I dedicate to my wallet rarely ever get used for anything else. The taller frame may make it easier to pull out.
Recently got the D01 Dapper wallet from Dango. I have noticed with the band, as long as the cash is stiff enough(new enough and not super wrinkled) you can fold it into thirds(with a couple bills usually), and use the corner to push it under the band. Though the Dango wallets use a silicon band that's surprisingly smooth and not very grippy which is nice for its function.
Thanks for the tip. I will take a look. But I have paused reviewing wallets for now. There just isn't a lot that I can say about wallets unfortunately. Hope that is understandable.
Bo Ismono Yeah, it's no problem, you can only say so much about such simple things, especially minimalist/card wallets. I just thought about it when I saw the bit about the money band. I should note for folding into thirds I am talking about USD. This does make it more difficult to handle cash on the fly as well...easy enough to take out, more difficult to fold change back up.
Liked this review, that extra centimeter would bug me too..! My main wallet is entirely made of rubberband, not good for speed but super lightweight, and I keep my limited bills in my front pocket.
Received mine couple weeks ago, but the button was not working at all (would not eject cards). Contacted Ekster through email and they respond to me within 2 days. Sent the wallet back and they agreed to send me the replacement within 2 weeks. Probably was just a bad batch, but the quality of the wallet was great! Can't wait to receive mine in 2 weeks.
You might try it with cards in the side. They say it holds 9+ cards, but the side cover doesn't close with anything of any size in it. My tracker card set the alarm off at any distance - even right next to my phone. Now won't connect. Whole thing is 25mm thick! Nice idea, but epic fail of execution.
+wfdTamar I'm sorry to hear that you have so many problems with it. As I said in the video I usually do not trust those trackers especially with something so important like a wallet. But I wouldn't have imagined that you had so many problems with it. Did ekster exchange the tracker or offer a solution?
Nice video. I personally like Frenchie Co Speed Wallet over Ekster and Secrid, because it provides a proper storage for bills without having to fold them.
I usually use cards too, but in my country in some places you still have to use bills. But i really don't like the whole idea about money clips, that become very popular among many slim wallets and personally prefer more traditional ways of storing bills, but yet practical.
+Fanenand F agreed. That is why I like the secrid wallet. For me it is a great combination of the new and old. While bills need to be folded, they are still stored in a billfold kind of way
I have a secrid wallet the black nile twin model. But i want to buy the new ekster parlieament. The rubber band can be used for parking carts or somthing else. I will put my money on the left side cart slots of the parliament wallet and the problem is solved 👍🏻
hey Bro please increase some brightness in your videos. . why so dark man...? We need to put some extra stress on eyes while watching your product reviews. . to see what colour the product actually has..
Great review, Bo. Recently subbed and this channel is awesome. Keep up the work, and I hope this channel grows! Btw, I saw your EDC video, recently, and I'm curious, what brand is the leather NATO band you have on your stein? Thanks!
+Nerfe thank you very much. Really appreciate the sub and the kind words. The leather NATO strap is directly from Steinhart. pretty good even if you don't own a Steinhart watch
+gelfrid peng bellroy makes some great stuff. But starting next week I will pause reviewing wallets. There just isn't a lot to say about them to be quite honest
Bo Ismono I think this is the only video i found for the gen 2. Because of your video now im even more excited about the ekster wallet arriving! Thanks again Bo.
Unfortunately I will pause reviewing wallets after the video today. There just isn't a lot that I can say about wallets. Hope that this is understandable
I don't recommend much. The gps stop working fairly soon, the back tap get loose over time :/. The slider button works great and secure your cards. Dropped it few times and still works
Thanks for the info. To me all of those tracker features seem too gimmicky to me. Lots of chances for failure as well. I stick with wallets without tech 😉
I bought wallet+tracker device paid $100 and they send me defective item and I returned the package and then they lost my package in their warehouse and now i cant get back my wallet thats the email they send me 2 weeks ago Hi Serkan, I checked your tracking information and it seems your order was delivered in the warehouse. Unfortunately, employees in there do not check the parcels from customers they receive every day. I informed them your parcel is in there and asked them when they have planned to check it. Thank you for your patience! Kind regards Pauline
+serkan mujde hey Serkan. That sucks. So sorry to hear. I've heard a couple of complaints regarding their customer service unfortunately. I hope you get a replacement soon.
+EduardoLobohombo I have seen it but I haven't been able to test it. But starting from next week I will pause reviewing wallets. There just isn't a lot to say about them. Greetings from Germany 😉
Atleast mention the price of both products so we can get an idea for comparisons too. The review was really good but all the details should be covered in the review man.
Hey Hrishikesh, I decided not to include prices in all my video reviews. Most of my viewers are either in USA or Asia, while I live in Germany, therefore everyone has different shipping costs and custom fees which will affect the price a lot. Which is why I believe that it is more reasonable or easier just to google the specific product in your country and try to find the best deal. I hope that makes sense.
Okay no problem that does make sense on your side but while comparing multiple items atleast we can get a rough idea of which one is better while the review.
Thanks, Troy. Yeah, the money band isn't great. But due to Covid I don't use that much cash anyways at the moment. So it hardly gets used anyway at the moment
+Hugo Guzman sorry to hear, Hugo. Where do you live? Have you contacted them? When I order stuff from a different country sometimes the item gets stuck at customs.
+Hugo Guzman I see. As far as I know they are in Netherlands. I'm not sure how customs in the US works when you order from Europe. Is it possible that it is stuck at customs? And did you contact them? Just to make sure: I'm not connected to them in any way so I can't really help you with the delivery
Great review! Love your style. Check out my newest review of both the Ekster Parliament and the Senat 2.0 here: czcams.com/video/PpnlWf-fF6I/video.html Cheers Bo!
Thanks for the review Bo! Great stuff!
+Ekster® thanks. ✌️😉

Wow, Kalel. That means a lot. Thank you very much!!!
Nearly pulled the trigger on this until I came upon your review! Thanks great video man
The channel is growing.

Haters usually means you're doing something right. ;)

1st!
+Saeed Okoroji I agree with you, bit keep in mind if t is easier for you to pull out it will be easier for pick pockets as well 😉

+MooTaters thanks for understanding. Yeah folding can take some time, but I rarely use cash nowadays. And we move into a cashless world anyways 😉
Love your videos and style man! Keep it up! You got a new subscriber!
Thank you very much, Dawson! Really appreciate the support!
Liked this review, that extra centimeter would bug me too..! My main wallet is entirely made of rubberband, not good for speed but super lightweight, and I keep my limited bills in my front pocket.
+Jules-Frederic Nerestant thanks, mate. Rubberband wallet is definitely the most minimalistic approach to a wallet

But i want to buy the new ekster parlieament. The rubber band can be used for parking carts or somthing else. I will put my money on the left side cart slots of the parliament wallet and the problem is solved 👍🏻
That is a good idea. I'm sure that you will like the Ekster.
agreed!
hey Bro
please increase some brightness in your videos. .
why so dark man...? We need to put some extra stress on eyes while watching your product reviews. . to see what colour the product actually has..

How about reviewing a bellroy wallet. The note sleeve series. Very slim and compact able to fit full size notes without folding.
+gelfrid peng bellroy makes some great stuff. But starting next week I will pause reviewing wallets. There just isn't a lot to say about them to be quite honest
New subscriber here. Great videos! Keep them coming. Also is that the Gen. 1 or Gen. 2 Ekster Parliament wallet?
+Nomar Jr thanks for the sub. Not sure if it is the first or second gen, but. I think it is the second generation because I got it this year.
Bo Ismono I think this is the only video i found for the gen 2. Because of your video now im even more excited about the ekster wallet arriving! Thanks again Bo.
I hope you get to review the Wingback Cash Wallet.
Unfortunately I will pause reviewing wallets after the video today. There just isn't a lot that I can say about wallets. Hope that this is understandable

Hi AlphaPac, We are sorry for the inconvenience you faced with your tracker card. Please email us at nest@ekster.com so we can assist you!

Great video ! quick question is this the gen 1 or gen 2 model ?
+manuel nizama thanks, Manuel. Not sure if it is the first or second gen, but. I think it is the second generation because I got it this year
Hi Manuel, This is the Ekster 2.0 model :)
what color is that ?
Hello have you tried the frenchie co. wallet, it looks useful with the cash. Greetings from México
+EduardoLobohombo I have seen it but I haven't been able to test it. But starting from next week I will pause reviewing wallets. There just isn't a lot to say about them.
Greetings from Germany 😉
Who is that fox on your wall and where to get it? :)
Did you find the card held better in the mechanism than your old wallet? something I was curious about.
+Rachael Trent no, it's basically the same
if u keep pressing the pop up button sooner or later will break?where to put an id card?
i like put my wallet open not on a cheap rubber band..
+kntwing not sure. But the button on the secrid wallet hasn't broken yet and is in good shape. So I would expect the ekster to be as sturdy.

where's link review of the other wallet on the video?
+Al Dous it's in the info tab. And next week there will be the third video
Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, Münzen (z.B. im Innenraum, der eigentlich für die 2 Karten gedacht ist) zu verstauen?
+Bkliupur also offiziell gibt es da keine Möglichkeit. Aber du könntest schon paar Münzen in das eine Fach packen. Aber ich würde es nicht empfehlen
Good review but you lost me on the sale by the band to hold my money
Thanks, Troy. Yeah, the money band isn't great. But due to Covid I don't use that much cash anyways at the moment. So it hardly gets used anyway at the moment
@@Youknowthebo I'm always looking for a new wallet but always end up with the classic 2 fold wallets
Eh.. Cash on a band, I agree too inconvenient
;-)
Happy spotted #FanOfHappy ;)
+Saurabh Gadekar 😉✌️
i like you mustache
+itzyaboijoe haha, thanks. I wish I could grow more facial hair, but I'm Asian so that's all I've got haha
Don't fold your money any other way than in half. If your wallet makes you, its a bad wallet.
Could you do a give away of the wallet to your subscribers?
+Heckies I will think about it 😉
Music please?
Hey Omer.
Unfortunately I can't remember which song I used. For all my videos I either buy music from epidemic sounds or audiojungle
Is this really legit???? I bought this product and it's been 4-5 weeks now and havnt received nothing!!
+Hugo Guzman sorry to hear, Hugo. Where do you live? Have you contacted them? When I order stuff from a different country sometimes the item gets stuck at customs.

Can u please provide the background music
ismono.. thats indonesian name right?
+idanial yes, my parents are both Indonesian, but I was born and raised in Hamburg Germany
@@Youknowthebo good to know that Indonesian blood reviewer exist lol, nice to meet you sir.
Nice to meet you too 😉✌️

Cheers Bo!
Thanks, Jake! I will take a look. ;-)
Worst company to deal with. The secrid wallet is 100 times better. The tracker on this wallet sucks.
+Robert Castillo thanks for the comment, Robert. Can you elaborate on the tracker? I don't have the one with the tracker, so I wasn't able to test it.
