Review on πŸ‘œ Streamline Your Style: Minimalist Blocking Wallet for Men and Women (2018 Edition) by Alex Barr

How to make this good product better

I am very satisfied with this wallet as it is very similar to the Ridge + $100 wallet but of course cheaper. Some minor issues include the tightness of the wallet, making it difficult to insert or remove more than two or three cards easily. This can be corrected by taking the right and left sides of the purse with both hands and gently pulling them apart about an inch four or five times. Do this several times a day for two days and it will stretch the elastic enough to allow easy access to at least five cards. Another issue is the lack of a spring-loaded lever on the money clip that allows for easy insertion of money. Suffice it to say that this is what caused my expensive Ridge wallet to break (it's the only moving part) and may be why these and other wallet companies only offer a two year warranty on their products. So you're better off without leverage. The only reason I'm not giving this five stars is because I've had 3 different brands of these "minimalist" wallets over the past 5 years and all of them will inevitably damage your credit/debit cards due to the constant rubbing "card" on of card" when removing and replacing. This includes deleting: the three-digit CVC number; 16-digit card ID; and magnetic strips. Most cards last less than two years on me, but I continue to buy these types of wallets for their convenience. My solution is to only use cards from issuing banks (e.g. Chase, Citi) who will provide me with a replacement card for free or for a small fee.
