Review on ๐Ÿ’ผ CL CARBONLIFE Carbon Wallet Credit Holder: Sleek and Efficient Organizer for Your Cards by Jim Plump

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great minimalist solution that allows you to minimize the volume in the front pocket!

I stopped using my wallet last year after I came across an old disposable wallet in my desk drawer. I don't even think it was a wallet, more like a leather card holder. I took a minimalist approach, carrying my driver's license, three credit cards, and some cash (usually 6-8 bills). I liked the slim profile. Unfortunately it is worn out. Since then I have tried many solutions. I've tried a few single sheet wallets but they were too thick or smelled like chemical cesspool, amazing. I tried a metal money clip that was too heavy and bulky. I tried a leather wallet clip, too bulky. I've tried minimalist wallets that consist of two plastic ends and a tie that holds them together, but I didn't like it. I wore it loose for a few months, some bills folded over my plastic and it slipped into my pocket. It's very thin, but I always felt like I'd drop the card as soon as I took the pack out of my pocket or put it back in. I bought a carbon fiber credit card holder for a money clip and have been using it for two days now. I am impressed! It's simple, unobtrusive and lightweight! I currently have five cards and five bills, and the rounded end is slightly thicker than the items inside. So it doesn't add much bulk to my bag which is what I was looking for! Did I mention it's LIGHT? From time to time I had to check my pocket to see if it was still there. I will update my review if for any reason something goes wrong. Update February 19, 2018: I like this clip even more than before. Just wanted to post my comment on some of the other negative reviews about the clip being too bright. This is carbon fiber. It should be easy. If you don't want something light, don't buy it. But don't knock it for what it should be, light.
