Like other GRIP6 products, it’s an upgrade for life, a wallet that makes every day just a bit nicer, a bit higher quality, and a bit more whimsical. In addition, I noticed that that the Grip6 video advertisements all demonstrated the wallet being placed in the users front pocket. If you are looking to take a large amount of paper money with you, a minimalist wallet may not be for you. SIMPLE, FAST, EASY CARD ACCESS- The GRIP6 wallet was designed to be the simplest, quickest wallet that you'll love using.

In the month since I received the Grip6, (which came in a very nice and presentable gift box), I’ve been nothing but impressed with how much better it was compared to my conventional leather wallets. I've tried to boil it down to a few key ones, but remember -- we are all different, so your mileage may vary. I can only equate it to something like the pop socket, a small grip device that can be bought for smartphones.

We took our high standard for quality and innovation with the GRIP6 belts and applied it to wallets for men. If you look at the pictures I’ve included with this review, you may be able to see why the leather cover is so important. The cutout provides quick access to all of your cards, and the tough elastic strap that holds everything together inspires confidence. As you can see in the photos, the leather cover was perfect for handling the smaller cards and data, (not to mention cash). I bought this new version without the loop (which is fun to use in a fidget-kind of way) and added the additional card holding strap/band/thingy.

You also get a spare elastic and a money clip in the presentation box, making it the perfect gift for the football fan in your life. The solid aluminum constructed feels good in your hand and the powder-coated surface adds to that premium feel. The entire front of the wallet slides up to help fan the cards out with a spring-loaded action that is satisfyingly mechanical. Then it's time for my least favorite test; sitting on the wallet in my back pocket for an entire workday.If you love your football team and you want a way to show it in a stylish and rugged way, go for an NFL Ridge. These wallets come in many sizes, shapes, and materials so it's important to test them on those merits. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser cutters -- he also loves to play board games and tabletop RPGs.

But my top choice overall is the shorter, wider Hammer Anvil; I don't mind that it lacks the ID window, which, for all of its practicality, I find tacky and not befitting of our top wallets list. But honestly, I am far more likely to lose my wallet in a back pocket than I am to lose my phone in my hand. The GRIP6 Wallet fits 5-6 cards perfectly, and the Moneyband easily holds another 6-8 cards plus cash! I was a bit concerned that there may have been a reason for not demonstrating the wallet being placed in the rear left or right pants pocket, which is where I always carried my conventional wallet. A blanket of anodized aluminum bends 180 degrees to form the GRIP6 Wallet, looking sleek and clean, feeling smooth and high quality.

Most minimalist wallets these days come with RFID blocking as standard, so it's more than likely you will have that.
