Allett SoftTech Nylon Inside ID Wallet review

By Andy Jacobs / October 13, 2014 / Reviews / Wallets / 4 Comments

Wallets! The thinner the better, right? Tell that to George Costanza. In the meantime, thin wallets have been increasing in popularity for years and Allett, who “bills” themselves (see what I did there?) as the “The Original Thin Wallet” has been at the forefront. Their wallets are thin and lightweight and designed to help reduce the

The Plastc card holds more coin than the Coin

By Larry Geisz / October 8, 2014 / News / Bluetooth, Pocket Gear, Wallets / 4 Comments

Coin may have been the one credit card to rule them all, but the Plastc card is the one card to hold them all. If you think I am talking some sort of Lord of the Rings cross over techno babble, I blame Julie for her first reference to this type of device. So, What’s

Moose Brand wallets review

I’ve never done drugs or gotten high unless you count snorting the addictive smell of these gorgeous leather wallets from Moose Brand. Hand me anything made of leather and I automatically bring it up to my nose for a sniff. Ahhhhh… There’s something comforting about the smell of leather – good leather though, not weirdly

We’re fans of Waterfield Designs (AKA SFBags) around here at The Gadgeteer, and we’re also fans of wallets and pouches to hold our small personal items.

While in some ways a bigger version of their

Bellroy Elements Range wallets are weather & water resistant

By Andy Jacobs / July 21, 2014 / News / Wallets / 2 Comments

I’ve been a big fan of Bellroy wallets ever since reviewing their Slim Sleeve Wallet a while back. Although I’ve tried several slim/minimalist wallets, lately I’ve been leaning toward wallets with a higher level of protection, like the Waterfield Designs Finn Wallet that I’m currently using. So I was quite happy to discover that Bellroy had

Kynez Cazlet iPhone Wallet review

By Andy Jacobs / June 10, 2014 / Reviews / iPhone, Wallets / 30 Comments

Wallets and smartphones are two items that most of us EDC, or everyday carry, on our person. Why not combine the two? Or at least use them together. There are more than a few smartphone wallets available today, but the Kynez Cazlet iPhone Wallet, billed as an “Truly All-in-One Wallet,” caught my eye for its

The Gadgeteer features a lot of minimal wallets, but many of them seem to be designed for men’s pockets. The A4 Basic Wallet by Frrry is designed for women. The wallet folds like an accordion and is held closed by two snaps. Open it up to reveal five pockets that can hold change, folded currency,

Dash 3.0 (AKA Trim) wallet review

By Andy Jacobs / May 16, 2014 / Reviews / Crowdfunded, Wallets / 3 Comments

Minimalist wallets seem to be the rage on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter. You know, those uber-slim, ultra-small wallets that help you carry less in a smaller, lighter-weight package (and avoiding the dreaded Costanza Wallet syndrome). Steven Elliot is no stranger to slim wallet projects, having already successfully run two of them, and his latest Kickstarter campaign, the

Dosh LUXE6 wallet review

By Larry Geisz / April 3, 2014 / Reviews / Wallets / 2 Comments

Wallet, wallet where is my wallet? Better yet what wallet should I be using? What we call a wallet today has evolved from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s when all you had was your leather bifold or trifold wallets. Then again, cash was king and we did not carry all the plastic that we do

MrLentz – a wallet so minimal, it doesn’t even need the period in Mr.

By Janet Cloninger / March 25, 2014 / News / Gear, Wallets / 7 Comments

The MrLentz Jasper Wallet is so minimal, it’s made with a single piece of leather, a couple of rivets, and no snaps to close it. The wallet is made of hand-cut, top-grain vegetable tanned leather, and dyed using all-natural, non-toxic, and handmade dyes. It’s been hand-conditioned with extra virgin olive oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax,
