Review on Radix One Black Steel Minimalist by Matthew Gonzales

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good purse: purse

I have had this purse for 3 months now. It fits in my pocket like any other small carrying item with little to no indication of its presence. It fulfills its function as a wallet, but sometimes flipping and shuffling cards aside to find and get the one you need seems like an unnecessary chore. I have 12 items, plus a fat gate key in the middle, with 3 bills folded out. About 9 of the 12 cards are regular size, the other three are laminated. More cards mean more leeway. I'm not worried about anything falling out, but I do notice a slight shift every now and then. I used to drive a lot more and even tried to leave some of what I have now in the car but it didn't work out. If you only carry about 6 cards or fewer, I would say this wallet could be just about perfect for you. There are a few personal glitches. I don't like it when my money is visible. I hold the bills upside down so the value is hidden, but I don't like being able to see it at all. Putting money in the middle is not an option, I don't bother spending it in and out or sticking cards around it. In addition, access to the cards should be made easier by sliding the card to one side and spreading the cards out in a fan shape on the other. It might work, but even with fewer cards, you run the risk of throwing cards everywhere. I think it would be better to wrap the tape around the short ends like a Fidelo carbon fiber wallet. 12 cards could still potentially fly out, but you should be able to handle less. I took out all but 5 cards and passed the moderate shake test. I could shake out the cards on purpose, but that's impractical for everyday use.

Pros
  • Sequins
Cons
