Review on Minimalist Pocket Wallet for Men's Accessories with Global Appeal by James Ssims

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Minimalist yet useful.

The horse leather is of a durable quality and the Over The Sea wallet feels just as durable as I expected. The quality of finish and stitching is still perfect enough to make it a classic. It's quite attractive and feature-packed despite being thin. This is not a package of documents in which to store all the events of your life. This is a wallet that comfortably holds up to four credit cards and has a dedicated ID slot. The latter is not always the case with this type of wallet. Also, the two slits have a non-traditional orientation relative to the ID window. The cards never drop randomly, but they're also a bit harder to get if you want. In addition, the wallet offers two solutions in which a card is placed on the outside and access to it can be the easiest. The other is something of a magic trick. It's a bit tricky to access at first, and when you press the card, the tape pulls in. Pull the strap and the card will pop out. It's a kind of hidden compartment. The wallet is RFID protected and the internal cards are well protected. That's fine for cards with RF support, although my cards aren't in that category. More interesting or worrying to me is the use of a tracking map. The outer pocket doesn't feel shielded, or at least not as strong, and the Bluetooth signal is better than other pockets. In fact, the strongest protection seems to be against the "hidden" pocket, and the tracker has become invisible with the phone right next to it. Here, too, there are far fewer external restrictions. The purse looks really nice. It may not be suitable as a travel wallet, as even (relatively thin) dollar bills are hardly covered. Euro bills are not so lucky.

Pros
  • purse for yourself. The bulky wallet has been eliminated and its slimmer look makes it easier to slip into a front pocket.
Cons
  • Limited storage capacity for those carrying multiple cards and cash
