Review on Chaps Blocking Security Bifold Wallet: Keep Your Cards and Identity Safe! by Kevin Nelson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Small but lots of storage space!

Chaps is a respectable brand if that's important to you - which is an attractive wallet. There's a lot to like about that. It's attractive and looks like leather, but it's not. But it could be good. I've had leather wallets that didn't last as long as I hoped. I'm curious if this PU leather will hold up better. I have a lot of cards. Credit cards, debit cards, Costco, Sams, medical services, you name it - I have a lot of them. So I need a lot of space for them. In my current wallet, this means I double it, which is not good - it ruins the cards and wallet. The high-capacity Slimfold RFID Blocking Wallet for men holds nine cards without having to double them. It has a nice "extra capacity" insert that fits these cards. I also like the idea of blocking a thief trying to steal your credit card information using RFID theft technology. My only major complaint is that I'm a wallet snob. My wife occasionally buys me a (real) Louis Vuitton wallet, but they're damn expensive and really not much better than cheaper wallets. But one thing about LV that makes this chap's wallet noticeably different is that the LV is larger. I don't know if it's a "slimfold" design or what, but the wallet is noticeably smaller. I worry this means it will stretch and wear out sooner. Nice is that I have pants with smaller pockets where LV gets stuck and difficult to remove, Chap's wallet doesn't have this problem. . Ultimately, it's inexpensive, has a good brand name, and appears to be well made. It's a solid four stars and would have been five stars for me if it was a little bigger. Love the extra credit card storage and RFID protection!
