Using it daily, for over two years now, and I can confidently tell that, it still looks in very good condition. it’s not the first cardholder/ wallet, but I can say it’s the best for me. I do recommend it.
I love this card holder!! I hate using bags and always carried my card in my back pocket which doesn’t do a great deal for the lifespan of the card. Since buying this card holder, I still carry my card in my pocket and it remains in perfect condition! It’s easy to use, well made and it’s great peace of mind to know it has RFID protection. Comes with a note clip too but unfortunately it doesn’t stop how quickly they leave your pocket!
I’ve bought another of these now because the first one was so good! Just as good if not better than the ‘Ridge’ make that are over 100 perfect condition and comes in a really smart box. Makes a great gift for the brother… partner… dad or friend!
I get compliments all the time on my wallet and build quality is honestly amazing for the price.
I like these, only issue is can be a bit of a pain to get a card out – and back in. Tend to end up yanking all out then ramming them all back in.
Also finding some of the elastic on the ends is starting to frey.
But decent product! Ditch the bulky wallet.
Holds about 5 to 6 cards very well. Using for 4 months, the elastics on the side as good quality. The only problem is to getting the cards in the middle…. will have to get used to orelse ending up with pulling all cards out.
A great little wallet, very good at holding multiple cards (I have around 8 in mine). Fantastic size to keep in your pocket. Only criticism is that the money clip can slide out quite easily and so it is not that great at keeping large amounts of cash. But, if you mainly operate by using your cards I don’t think you would be disappointed with this product.
Bought this as second choice to my first wallet but sent that one back as it was marked and wasn’t a patch on this wallet. This is cheaper, better made, compact and in my opinion more stylish. It also comes in a plain but nicely presented box.
I got the brushed silver version which looks classy, my only minor criticism would be the money clip is slightly loose but is fine once a couple of notes are attached. Recommended at the price *****
First of all the dispatch and delivery time was fantastic, the packaging very nice. The aluminium very well made chamfered and coated, the elastic tight but not too tight. This is a great wallet especially at this price point! The money clip being easily added and removed is also great no need for tools. For a person like me who usually just throws the bare cards in a pocket when needed this is perfect and takes no space.
Feels like quality, had it a couple of months now and can’t complain at all. It does wear on your cards, and I have scratched it by having it in the same pocket as my keys. Overall very pleased.
Two precision machined aluminium plates, clasped tightly together from within by elasticated webbing, hold the cards neatly together in a small elegant package like a very modern take on an antique snuff box. I have always favoured a leather wallet but, in this modern virtually cashless age, this seems like a step up and, a little like moving house, presents an opportunity to declutter. Classy!
Bought this as I was tired of carrying a bulky wallet around that rarely if ever had cash in it, usually just cards. This is a great size and easily fits in any pocket, is easy to load cards into and locate cards once they’re in, looks good (I’ve had several comments from people who have seen me using it) and is ideal for those that only carry cards and rarely cash. Very happy with this purchase.
I’ve not had this long, but so far it’s pretty good, worth the money I paid for it. If it lasts me a year it’ll have done a decent job!
just got the wallet early. very happy with design and colour. Feels high quality the only thing is the money clip slides around alot but im sure super glue will fix tha
Easy to have in your small handbag for when you are going out. It holds a around 6 cards and money and it stop your card from slipping out. Great price for what it is, overall excelle
Solid. Looks great. Holds plenty. Superb.
To be honest, I was surprised at the quality when I opened the package. I was expecting it to be much lower but what I received was nothing short of beautiful.
Yes, I realise I’m talking about a wallet but it really is that nice. Extremely stylish and won’t look out of place anywhere.
I’ve had 12 cards in it just to see how well it holds them and it is fine, although I’ve settled on 5. It has a great grip. Can be a little fiddly to get them out but once the muscle memory kicks in it should be a breeze.
The money clip grips well. You won’t be losing anything you put in there.
If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate. Just buy.
Overall, the build quality is perfect. The surfaces are well polished, the tolerances all seem spot on, the elastic seems of good quality and is very rigid, after shaking the wallet for a good 5 minutes non of my 4 cards fell out. As for usability, it will take me a little while to get used to. Going from a typical wallet with slots for each card, it takes me a little longer to retrieve the card I want from this one. But again, with time I’m sure it’ll be second nature. The wallet feels great, looks great, feels like it’s gonna last me a while Etc.
Overall, 10/10 would recommend.
Edit, something like 6 months later.
The wallet Is still in almost perfect condition. A few little marks here and there, a small scuff on one corner from an unlucky drop onto concrete most likely. The only way to easily tell I’ve had this a while, is that the elastic material has gone slightly “Knobbly” for lack of a better word, as most soft materials do overtime, but there are easy ways to fix that I think.
On a day to day basis I’ve been keeping 4-5 cards in here every day, along with a couple 5 notes folded twice length ways. Even with this, the elastic has only lost a small bit of it’s strength. It can no longer hold just one card at all really. With two cards they fit and stay in somewhat well, but with enough jiggling it around they will fall out. With three cards you have to really rag it about to get them loose. After 4 cards they stay in there like new, only really coming loose if you push them.
Overall, ESPECIALLY considering the price, my score is still a solid 9 or 10/10 for this little beauty.
Only had it for a day but used it the odd time today, I love it! Don’t get me wrong I love a proper leather wallet but I never carry coins on me and rarely carry notes opting for card payments for security and ease of use so something like this was a no brainer! I love everything about it, the form factor, the design, the very accurate looking carbon fibe. How easy it is to put cards and cash into/onto it. Fits in every pocket, barely 3.5″ in size and weighs less than a few hundred grams! Definitely recommend, I’ll be posting some more photos later when I get my camera charged!
I was apprehensive in buying this originally, as I wasn’t sold on the idea of it being practical. However after receiving it I’m completely blown away at how nice it feels, how easy it is to use and overly thrown off at how well it was presented in its box.
Top quality product, completely recommend you get it if you’re reading this thinking “is this for me?” because the answer is yes
One thing I’m unsure of is the prehistoric piece of metal that came with it so I could carry something called “cash”
My Atom took less than 12hrs to arrive. It was icey too touch and still is three hours later. It looks like F.O.D. found discarded by a passing X35 on a runway somewhere. With just one of two cards it looks good, art cut from a billet of aluminum. It is replacing my Alpha as the Atom simply holds more. It has already eaten cards,cash and a survival kit, the indent allows space for your imagination while my “caraele” waterproof US B fits no problem. Reassuringly weighty, and enough kudos to hear “never feel sorry for a man that owns a Atom!”
I’ve been using this wallet for a few days. So after my short time using it I can say that it appears really sturdy and very well made. It doesn’t look or feel cheap in any way. One aspect of the design that I think is a win over the ridge is the screwless design.. Because 100% if one of those comes out you’re never finding it again, so a bit of peace of mind there.
My biggest concern was functionality.. I thought it would be a bit of a faff to get anything other than the front card. In reality though it’s fine. It’s very easy to slide them all up and then push down the nearest cards until you reach the one you want, even with embossed cards. That’s how I’ve been doing it at least and it works well.
Infact, I look forward to buying stuff so that I can get my ATOM out and flick a card out. I’m sure the novelty will wear off in time, but I’ll still be left with a great wallet that will hopefully last me for years to come.
The note clip requires you to trifold your notes so that they sit within the dimensions of the wallet. It’s not too much hassle, although the new polymer notes don’t fold very well. With that said though, folded in that way they do hold very tightly within the note clip. And anyway, if you’re looking at this wallet then you’re probably not looking to carry more than 2 or 3 notes, which is the optimum amount to store in there I reckon.
My only negative really is that Akielo sent me the wrong colour! But, the brushed silver that I received still looks decent and I can’t be bothered with the hassle of returning.
So yeah, a bit of a real world review. If you are on the fence about this wallet… I would urge you to just buy it. Its not as fiddly as it looks, its well made, and based on a previous purchase I can say first hand that the customer service is absolutely top class. Akielo are clearly a small UK business and your money won’t be lost in the chinese rubbish that we so often end up buying. As I’m writing this the wallet is 15 quid… It’s well worth it so just buy it. I honestly don’t see how more expensive adaptations such as the ridge wallet could be any better.
I’m in no way affiliated with Akielo, I’ve just had good customer service from them and I genuinely love this wallet.
Great product overall. As described by the seller. brushed black aluminium style looks good and elegant.
Holder does the job well. no issues with getting the cards out, but gets a bit fiddly if you need one from the middle of the stack. it is somewhat thick when fully packed so I only keep 4cards in it. So far happy with this gadget; Have not tested the RFID blocking as yet. Not planning to go back to a tradidional wallet. I would buy it again.
This is my second purchase from AKIELO, I’ve always been impressed with their low cost wallets. I purchased this wallet and it did arrive slightly damaged, AKIELO reached out to me and helped me resolve the issue, which was pretty impressive as you don’t often see this with companies. So kudos on that AKIELO!! (Thanks Adam)
The wallet is absolutely stunning, as soon as i opened the box it screamed luxury. I’ve had some nice wallets in the past and paid a lot more for them, so getting this quality at this cost is simply amazing.
If, you want to give care and protection, for your cards with rfid, and you hate the big wallets, perfect choice.
It’s close not taller, and wider than the basic bank card, really compact design, and the brushed surface done the job well.
The straps strong enough, even if you hold just 1 card or 2, or 10, or use metal card, its not gonna fall off from the wallet.
The toughness it’s still questionable, because it’s almost brand new, and i never dropped on the floor yet, but i think, it will strong enough
Really stabile and cold metallic premium feel in hand, and can’t magnetic.
Thought I’d give it a try after fancying a ridge wallet but not wanting to fork out over 60. These guys are selling for a very reasonable price and what came was a product of surprising quality. Yet to try the RFID blocking. Removing the cards takes a bit of a knack but once you’re used to it, it’s fine. Durability; item feels tough but only time will tell.
Feels very compact in my pocket, I have about 8 or 9 cards in it. Much less space than my old leather wallet and the money clip hold notes to it just fine.
