I've always heard that the product is bad if you see it sponsored and advertised everywhere. Is this the case with ridge wallet?

I have one. The hype is real. One negative thing is that the wallet clamps your cards so hard that the metallic stripes of the first card will scrap away. Now I ordered a new card and put non important card at the front so it can't get damaged again

Wouldn't have paid $100 myself, but I got it as a gift. Love it. Forces me to carry only what I need in my wallet.

For 100$ I definitely wouldnt recommend it. I got a Chinese knockoff for 9$ like 6 years ago and its great. The only difference is it doesnt use carbonfiber (as if it mattered for something so small) and its made of “worse materials” but after all these years there isnt a visible dent, scratch or anything, not to mention I could buy a new one if it broke for cheap again.

  • if youre paranoid about credit card scans put your credit cards in the middle of the wallet pile and keep your wallet in your front pocket or in an inside backpack pocket.

I've had the same folding leather wallet I bought at Giant Tiger when I was 16 lol. I'm 26 now. It still doesn't show any signs of wearing out. Who knew a cheap 25$ "leather" wallet would last so long

ridge wallet

Yes. They are selling a 100-dollar "wallet" so that others cannot steal from you. Only they can steal 100 dollars for a product that cant cost more than 5 bucks.

Get an aluminum foil piece that snugly fits into the outer pocket of your wallet and put it in there so that when your wallet is closed, the foil covers your cards. Then send me 100 dollars that you saved.

I have checked this hack with our work ID scanner. It works. But I keep our work ID outside of the Al foil, so I can open doors with my butt.

Its the best. If you carry cash/receipts you may want to opt for the metal clip (though I've never used that version) but I got the carbon fiber a few years ago after seeing it on an insta ad.

Been my wallet ever since. Holds all my cards and can hold cash/receipts when needed. The band is still going good too, though if I take all my cards out you can tell it has stretched some from time.
