I've wanted a small "minimalist" wallet for a long time, but didn't want to shell out $80 for a Ridge right away because I wasn't sure I'd like it. Choose this one and this wallet is decent. The metal construction seems pretty solid and it's not as hard to remove the cards as I thought which would be a nice surprise (although I only have 7 cards in there, not 12 loaded so not sure how difficult it would be to remove the cards from the fully loaded one). Getting cards out of the middle of the stack is pretty tricky, but I didn't expect to have to deal with it given the smaller size and knowledge of compact wallet victims. The color and logo are tasteful and nice to look at, which is also a plus. The biggest problem I had was the money strap. The metal binding on which it is worn can snap on a money band due to the thin material of the band and the sharp ends of the metal part. I ended up taking mine off even though I liked it and wanted to keep it. I think this can easily be solved by simply making the metal strap non-removable and simply connecting the ends, increasing the strength of the strap, or simply suggesting a money clip. I would have preferred the money clip option anyway as the strap feels a little loose and makes me a little worried about losing money. It didn't and probably won't, but it still worries me a bit and makes me a little nervous when using the strap. All in all, for the money, this is a solid wallet. I'm happy with it so far. I would recommend it to those looking for a minimalist wallet design on a budget. I'll update if anything comes up.
