Ekster Aluminum Cardholder Wallet for Men | Metal Wallets with RFID Blocking Layer | Slim & Minimalist Aluminum Wallet with Push Button for Quick Card Access

This is the first card holder type of wallet I've ever had and I honestly wasn't sure I'd stick with it. As we move away from cash I've found this is pretty ideal. It holds just enough cards that I might need on a typical day and for those extras I might need for a trip somewhere, I just slide them under the elastic holder and go. It's way more durable then a leather wallet and takes up a lot less room. Sure it may get a scratch here and there from keys or whatever, but what do you expect when you put metal on metal? Given that most men will carry a wallet around looking like it was chewed on by a dog, I don't mind if a wallet has a scratch, in my pocket, that no one sees. Is it worth $100, that's up to the user and your willingness to pay for the materials.

Im going to start things off by saying I did receive a faulty unit, it happens but also the wrong configuration (not ekster fault but Amazon) but the mechanism was getting stuck when trying to engage it. Ekster responded immediately, I sent a video and the representative sent me a brand new unit. Not just a new unit but upgraded me to the pro model, which I didn't know existed unit I went to the Ekster store and realized the pro has a metal switch instead of plastic, which would be my only complaint about the standard but still performs perfectly. Not many companies stand behind the products they put out but also value and support their costumer base the way Ekster does. Yes you're paying a premium but what you get is a lifetime warranty and rest assured if anything happens to your product they will make things right, no excuses, no BS or splitting hairs they will take care of you. Don't go with the clones, the cheap price might be tempting but with a lifetime warranty you buy one and your good if anything happens. Superb quality and even better company. Will be a lifetime costumer. Also thank you Agustin for the incredible service.

I really like this wallet, this is the second one I have owned. Overall, I love the design and it certainly helped me jump on the down-sizing bandwagon that was going around a few years ago. The way it slides out the cards with the button is a game-changer and I kinda laugh (inwardly of course) every time I see someone pull out one of the "other" wallets by the brand that was hitting social media hard because those are basically just 2 metal plates holding everything together and the owner has to push out all the cards at once and kinda sort through to find the one they want. I will say that how many you can get in this one kinda depends on how thick they are overall (I run with 6) and my tip to everyone for easy overall sliding is make sure any cards with chips have the chip-side toward the top when they are in.

The first had more of a cloth-elastic band and this one seems to be made of rubber. The old one loosened up a bit over the years, not enough to make it unusable, but such that if you put a lot less in the front or back (I keep cash in front and some extra cards in back) than you normally run with it gave you the feeling it could slip off under the wrong conditions. Wasn't bad per se, but it made you think about stuffing it for too long with more than what you normally intended to keep in tension with the band. Time will tell if this rubberized band will hold better but my guess is that is why they swapped it out. But my tip in general would be that after you have kinda settled on how much you generally want to carry in it, that you pay attention if you put a lot more in at any time and clean house a bit as soon as you can to not permanently stretch out the band.

My other one didn't wear out or anything but it got scratched up a bit because I am dumb and was keeping it in a pocket with other hard/sharp things and sometimes I just want it to look not so worn. But it is easy to switch out with this wallet so that makes me happy.

Got this for my fiancé for Valentines Day but I felt too guilty to not give it to him when I got it! Very sleek and fancy packaging. Very sturdy so Im sure the cards are well protected and its slim so it doesnt take much room in your pocket. He loves the spring button that pops the cards out, he can't stop fidgeting with it. Contemplating buying myself one, I love you ease of access with the button. Most I've ever paid for a wallet but dang, it was so worth it to see the smile on his face :)

I used to have a think wallet in my rear pocket. Then I purchased this and my comfort level has gone up dramatically. No more bulky wallet. I keep only the most important cards and they sit comfortably in my front pocket. The design is well made and the push button works great. It pushes my cards up for easy access. It holds 6 credit cards if you stuff them, but then it doesn’t open smoothly. It holds my 3 credit cars, driver’s licenses, and one other smooth card perfectly. I would recommend this to anyone who is considering doing away with a bulky wallet, especially when most of those cards are now digital.

This product was a gift for my son who switched his contemporary wallet to this minimalist wallet. He loves it! Very modern & classic. He has placed 6 cards in order of the main one he uses regularly. The cards are RF protected so he cannot wave his wallet over the machine to pay. He must remove the card. The elastic bad is great for a few folded bills. Keeps his cards protected from bending when sitting. Less bulky and offers a smooth look to his pocket as he wears his wallet in his front pocket. Wish it came with a money clip for the price. My husband has the same wallet. They both get lots of compliments. Very cool idea to click the button and the cards come out.

I recently purchased the Ekster Aluminum Cardholder Wallet, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! The wallet has a premium feel—the aluminum construction not only looks sleek but also feels incredibly sturdy in hand. It’s lightweight yet durable, making it perfect for everyday use.

What impressed me even more was the prompt shipping. I received my wallet quickly, which is always a plus when you’re excited about a new purchase. Overall, the Ekster wallet combines style, functionality, and quality, making it a fantastic addition to my everyday carry. Highly recommend it!

It's a great product.

- It feels a lot better than regular leather wallets, my pocket doesn't feel bulky.
- You will get used to the new way to access your cards quickly.
- Fits my needs: Credit cards in the main space and for ID, driver's licenses, and other membership cards, I used the expandable backplate.
- It only holds 4 credit cards in the main space, so be careful adding more. Believe me, I tried adding a fifth card, and ALL of them got stuck. I seriously thought I was going to need to damage the new wallet to recover them. If this happens to you, use 2 plastic cards like the samples included as tweezers to retrieve one, and then pull the other ones as usual.
- It's been a couple of weeks since I got it, so I can't tell about its durability yet, although it looks good.

Overall this wallet is beautiful and comfortable. Ideal for people who do not carry cash and are annoyed with bulky pockets. Is it worth the money? It all depends on durability now.

I've had this wallet for a few years now and it's satisfied all the reasons why I wanted it in the first place: sleek design over my old bulky bifold wallet, nice aesthetic, decent build, cool little fidget toy button to make cards come up. Only issue after all these years is the cards are slowly getting a touch looser inside the wallet. A shake tests shows that the cards may come out after some rigorous motion, but that's me trying pretty hard to shake the cards out; they won't just fall out when you turn the wallet upside down.

TLDR: Good wallet and probably worth the price, any legitimate defect that other reviews document will probably be apparent quickly after using the wallet and can be returned for a replacement. If you like the look and design of this wallet, go for it. Or don't

Me encantó es lo mejor el acabado premium y diseño hace una cartera única no hay otra en el mercado no es para cualquier sector por lo mismo es cara por todos sus acabados me encantó, la recomiendo ampliamente, no es cierto que esta frágil yo creo que la tratan súper mal lo que publicaron que se rope yo ya llevo un mes y medio y estoy súper contento

I've been on a Mission to find the best minimalist wallet. I've tried them all, or close to it. In the end, it's basically a tie between this wallet here and the Akeeni XSTO. The Ekster gets a slight edge because I just can't stop playing with the pop-up button. LOL. The version I have fits 4 cards, which is perfect for me. My license, two creit cards, and my Kaiser health card. It comes with a separate piece of leather-covered something, with a tight pocket and a cash strap attached to it. I don't need an extra pocket, and, luckily, it also comes with ANOTHER cash strap, not attached to a leather sleeve thingy. So I took that thing off and just use the cash strap and have an even slimmer wallet for my front pocket. I really like it. I once had this same wallet that held a few more cards, I forgot how many, but it was too thick and I sent it back and moved on.

FYI: The Akeeni XSTO is a really great choice, too. The plusses there is that you can customize the exterior - I put a cool graphic on it and my email address and cellphone #, in case I lost it. Looks really cool. It stores the cards in sideways, basically, but out in the open, as it were, and you just shuffle them out and pick out the one you want. They click back into place nicely, and under the cards is an indentation for folded cash. I think it says 3 bills, but I've put in much more than that without a problem. I also got the 6 card version but found it too thick and got the 4 card version, which is perfect.

At the end of the day, I'm using the Ekster, just because I like that the cards pop-up, I like the leather exterior a little better than the aluminum one of the XSTO. The only negative I'd say for the Ekster is I'm not a huge fan of cash straps. so that's the plus of the XSTO. Everything is contained within. Having said that, the Ekster still wins out, though just barely, and just for the fun of popping up the cards and the leather look. It's actually a really tough call, and I will likely go back and forth, but for now, the green 4-card Ekster gets the privilege of being in my pocket.
