Review on FIDELO Carbon Fiber Minimalist Wallet Men's Accessories by Daniel Bruce

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you need a lightweight small wallet for 4 cards and a couple of 20 bucks, this is a good choice.

I've been using this wallet as my exclusive wallet for over a week now with mixed results. I'm really struggling with this review - I love that it's small and light (as advertised). It stores your credit cards in a small, lightweight pocket BUT... 1) It's smaller than I wanted - it seems too small for business cards, so paper cards are already fraying at the edges. (-1 star) - I tried to order a size that supports credit cards AND business cards, but I think I got the smaller version) 2) In real life situations, I keep pulling cards out of my wallet that I don't intend exit - I go for map 2, and map 3 is also advanced. 3) The tape is now so thick that credit cards with raised numbers or designs will rub against other cards. difficult with 5 cards - now that I have 6 cards, waiting in line at a coffee shop or grocery store becomes a problem. 4) Another unexpected problem is that carbon fiber is stronger than gorilla glass. So if you don't keep your phone in a case with a screen protector, you'll get extra scratches if they're in the same case. Summary: Overall, I think I went too far in the minimalist direction - I have to carry 6 cards + 2-3 skinny business cards + 2-3 $20 (US dollars). I think I have 2 cards and 3 business cards more than optimal for this wallet. And now I know that carbon fiber, while very light and durable, isn't the material I should have looked to if I want to carry my phone and wallet in a front pocket.
