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

Firstly, here’s some information you might find helpful: Q: Does it fit an AirTag? A: Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, but with some caveats. I purchased an AirTag holder card from Amazon by "PEUTIER" because I didn’t want the AirTag to fall out. When I placed the AirTag holder card in the external card slot, it caused an issue where the "pull tab" wouldn’t return to its position after being used to retrieve cards. This meant I had to manually push the cards back down to reset it. To avoid this, I opted to place the AirTag in the notes section of the wallet alongside my cash. This works well, there’s no significant bulge, and it doesn’t interfere with accessing the notes. However, using the AirTag holder card is crucial to prevent the AirTag from being pulled out accidentally. Q: What happens if you overfill the wallet? A: Overfilling prevents you from pulling the cards out easily and stops the elastic pull tab from returning properly. Q: Can you fit coins in the note section? A: Yes, but it’s worth noting that this might cause impressions to be left on the leather due to bending. While it’s a viable option, it’s best suited for carrying only a small number of coins. Before I give my review, sharing my use case may help you decide if my opinions and experience are relevant to your needs. I carry 3 cards in the main slot (one with raised information and two without), 3–5 notes of various denominations, and no coins. I also use the outside card slot for gift cards (when I have them), I purchased this wallet for £25.99. Now, onto the wallet itself: The build quality is great. It’s made from smooth, nice-quality leather, and the stitching is consistent and well-done. While there are a few minor visual scuffs on the leather, they’re only noticeable under angled light and not visible unless you’re actively looking for them. Overall, it’s a sleek, attractive wallet. The size is great, it fits easily in the palm of your hand and doesn’t bulk out your pocket. £10 and £5 notes fit perfectly in the note pocket with little to no overhang, while £20 notes extend slightly beyond the edge by around 5mm. I feel confident that this wallet will hold up well over time, but I’ll be sure to update this review if anything changes. For now, there are no loose stitches, which suggests it’s unlikely to break at the seams anytime soon.

Its a very nice slim and compact card holder. It looks smart and feels well made. This is great for anyone who doesn't like a bulky wallet. I would say its worth choosing this over some of the cheaper options for its quality and functionality.

Good quality, smart looking, slim wallet that slips neatly into a shirt pocket. Three sections to it, a slip pocket front and back and a central section accessed by an elasticated tab that pulls the contents proud of the wallet edge without the need to go digging for them. I think the claim that it holds 14 cards is spurious, at best - more realistically one in the front pocket and three or four max in the central section. Similarly the back pocket will accommodate three or four folded notes without losing the slim profile. Just the thing for trips or nights out when you don't need take everything else with you, and as a bonus cards in the centre pocket are protected against RFID scanning.

I bought this 7 years back and it is still going strong! Perfect leather, slim and soft and high quality stuff. Every year when the product goes on christmas sale, i think about getting a new one but then old one dsnt look like bad enough to be replaced!

I had my old fat wallet stolen; it used to weigh a ton, bulged my pocket out half a mile, and had about a million useless cards and junk inside it which I had collected over the years. So It was time to go lightweight. All my important cards are now on my phone these days, so all I wanted was a very slim wallet to carry a couple of backup cards in case of phone problems, my driving licence, and a bit of rarely-used cash. The Vaultskin works very well for this purpose. I use the centre pull-out hidden section for the rarely-used cards and keep my most commonly-used credit card in the outer pocket. The puller strap for the recessed centre section stops it from falling out, but does mean that you have to dig past it with your fingernails to get the card out, which is not a bad thing in my view. The other outer section I use for emergency folded money - the standard UK note height fits in just fine but you have to fold it lengthways into three to get it fully covered by the pocket and avoid the risk of fraying the edges. After years of a big beast wallet in my pocket it felt a a bit odd at first having a slimline version. A few times I've had to do a nervous pat-down to check it's actually still in there. I've had it two months now and it's worn in nicely to get that comfy wallet look. The leather quality is good and the stitching hasn't shifted one bit, though it's still early days. The only downside is the cost, which seems rather a lot for something so small, but I'm very pleased with it overall and won't ever go back to a fat wallet again.

Brilliant slim wallet. I use this everyday-and it is brillaint. I have most if my cards and storecards in there and it is very convenient. It has helped me keep only the important cards with me. Has even helped in cutting down he clutter of carrying change. Now my bum cheek doesn't feel sore-hahaha (for info: i used to keep my old wallet in my back pocket and it used to be full off coins and receipts and all kinds of junk) I am thinking of buying another one once finances premit-and have also recommended to my friends. UPDATE (09/03/2024) - after over 6 years of use, the card pull strap has finally given way, and now the cards cannot be pulled out. The wallet is fine, but without this card pull- it has become useless... Looks like time for another wallet... It has lasted 6 years...of daily use... so brilliant wallet.

It's classsy and light - same like what's advertised.

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。

Es un tarjetero sencillo de dos lados con uno central. Piel natural real, buenos acabados y todo perfecto. Incluye la protección de VaultSkin RFID incluida en el diseño, puedes poner tarjetas contactless con total seguridad. He acabado comprando más de una. Todo un éxito y tiene pinta de durar un buen tiempo. Totalmente recomendado.

Summary: Great wallet for anyone, perfect for me. I've been using it for 2 months now. Easy to carry in the front pocket of your slim fit jeans, looks exactly like in the pictures, very elegant. I recommend this wallet if you don't use much cash, ideally if you only carry 3 bills with you, and if you can reduce the amount of cards you carry to 10 or less, including ID and memberships. I keep rarely used cards in the car (like membership cards that I use once a month). The down side: the card kept in the front pocket is hard to pull out because the "smart strap" above it stops it from sliding out if you use your thumb to drag it out with friction. You have to use your index finger get a grab along with your thumb, that way you can raise it and pull it out; that's not an option if you have chubby fingers. You can also pull the "smart strap" and hold it up with your left thumb, then with your right thumb you pull the card out with friction. Neither option is confortable enough to keep your most used card in there, but you can use it though, it's not a deal breaker. About the amount of cards it can hold. I keep exactly 10 cards in my wallet: 4 credit cards, ID, License, Memberships, among others. I keep 2 cards on back pocket, another card on front pocket (less frequently used), and 7 cards in the middle pocket (including 4 credit cards which are thicker than normal because of the raised numbers). So far it hasn't stretched and the cards remain in place even when I hold the wallet upside down; If I shake it while upside-down the cards do slowly come out, but there's no scenario in real life where you put your wallet upside down, holding it on the sides to avoid having a grip of the cards inside, and shaking it. About the leather. It is high quality leather, I really recommend you buy this one instead of cheaper $10-15 dollars options because of this. It is showing signs of wear, but in quality leather wallets like this one, that only adds to its beauty. Regular (bigger) wallets get worse in less time, because the corners start to bend, plus the friction of pulling a bulky wallet out of your tight pockets damage further the leather. About the "smart strap" and middle pocket. I quote "smart strap" because it's a simple elastic strap which retracts back to its place when released. It's easy to pull, it has a good grip and gets the job done. The middle pocket is easy to use, you can put the most used cards on front and back of cards in middle pocket, that way it's a matter of: pulling the strap, pulling the card, pushing the rest back into the pocket. You do have to spread the cards to get the one you need in the middle, but again, not difficult, not messy and really, how many times a day you use each one of your 10 cards. You can organize it so the top 4 most used cards get really accessible. About the RFID protection. The middle pocket is RFID protected, and works as advertised, I tried using my subway card with the RFID reader and it didn't work, I had do pull the card half-way out of the middle pocket so it could read it. I tried putting the card in the front pocket, weirdly enough it didn't read it. I tried it with the card inside my old wallet and it read it inmediately. They claim only the middle pocket is RFID protected but in my experience, the front pocket also was protected. Don't take my word for granted here, perhaps my case is an exception, perhaps the back pocket isn't protected and there you can keep your RFID card, and perhaps it was a one time event, but the wallet in the middle pocket is consistent because I've tried it several times on different readers, including my work RFID reader. I'll get back here with an update after 5 months. Let's hope for the best.
