It seems like your content is going to be more important over time. Wallets aren't something people replace all the time, but when they do, if they find your channel and they're discerning consumers, they'll absolutely love it. I'll be recommending you for anyone buying wallets, and honestly, any women I know that want to give a guy a present. Through word of mouth, and natural replacement time (3ish years or what have you), I'm sure you'll gain the fan base you deserve. For now, I just want you to know that your quality is impeccable. Even down to the links in the description box, it's all a lot of work. I see you, and I appreciate you.

How does it get usability of 5 when you have to fold bills into thirds? I may not use cash often, but I do carry it and don't like fumbling for it when I need it. For example, whenever I can, although I pay with a card, I like to tip waitstaff with cash. They definitely appreciate receiving it in hand. When travelling there are numerous times one has to tip a few dollars or even more on tours and such. So, when are you going to review that elusive wallet that's bigger on the inside than on the outside? That's what I'm looking for! ATB!
@walletopia 3 жыл бұрын
Ah, THAT wallet! :). I'm still looking for that too, but some have some close. The ZNAP is a great example of that, a proper trifold in the size of the XSTO and for a trifold, the nivisto is impressive, a real trifold in the footprint of a bifold. Since all wallets in the XSTO, Ridge, ZNAP, etc. category require you to fold your cash, the usability came in the ease of which you can insert and access it. To me, it's easier than a clip.

Nice improvement from the original stow! I carried it for a few months but my cards started to scratch too much from sliding over one another and the metal rubbing with the tops and bottoms of each cards; they started to peel. Had to switch back to my leather wallet. I wonder if they could implement a felt lining on the inside of the tension bars(?) in order to prevent that from happening. Not sure if other people have had that problem as well...

Is the plate removable on this new version? Wondering if they cleverly hid the hinge mechanism underneath.

hey! I am strongly thinking about purchasing the xsto. OR buying the simple card holder from Tasmanian Tiger. I dont really see the advantages of the akeeni compared to a super simple and way cheaper alternative except that it looks and might feel a lot better. Is it really worth the price? What makes it special, compared to a simple card holder from cloth like the Tasmanian Tiger one?

They carry different so I would say it depends on your material preference. The XSTO is US made, metal and has a very small footprint. Being that it's metal, it sits in your pocket like that versus more pliable.

Very nice review. One thing I always wonder with these metal card holders of that style, which I think deserves to be tested too, is how does it perform if you do not fill it to capacity with cards in the main compartment, can # fewer cards easily escape by tilting diagonally in the mechanism (something I suspect this holder would be vulnerable to).

Damn it, you've just convinced me to upgrade my original stow for the new one come next paycheck! The "perfect" minimalist wallet just got more "perfect-er". Mine still holds up and hasn't let me down, ever! I'm normally a cheapskate and won't buy a wallet beyond $50, guess I may have to now. They also have an add-on card cover plate if you think having the cards exposed on the front is a no-no - it's an extra $3, but it's still worth it for those slightly paranoid about having an open-face wallet.

Thanks Senne, please explain your comment a bit more. Is it that the cards show, which I know is troublesome to many, or that a fully enclosed version would be more attractive? Or something else?

I recently bought two stow wallets but am very interested in this one. What should I do?

If you don't carry foreign currency the STOW will do you very well.

aesthetically, XSTO did a better job of making a subtle improvement to the mechanism. grip6 just fixed an issue but didnt really bother to elevate the design even more.

Very true. The original STOW was done so well, that the XSTO represented.

I heavily disagree with your ratings. Xsto price is slightly cheaper than the ridge that you gave 1 star to (

That’s why I will often go back and do 2nd LOOK videos where additional learnings force me to make an adjustment. Interestingly there is a 2nd LOOK video on the Ridge coming out in a few days that addresses this.

@@walletopia ill keep my eyes peeled. Do you have a standardized quantification for your star ratings? I think that could help make the ratings more meaningful.

Does this wallet have RFID protection?
@walletopia 3 жыл бұрын
Through the materials used kinda. Although I’ll present the facts that RFID theft of credit cards isn’t a problem anymore, you could still carry an RFID card as your top card and would be good.

Will the wallet get loose over time?
@walletopia 3 жыл бұрын
I've not read where that's a problem with the original so I wouldn't expect that to be the problem with this one. In fact, the way the CNC was done I would expect the new version is less likely to have that problem.

Absolutely! Any of the metal wallets, while possible, would eventually be very painful or at least a distraction because there's no doubt you know it's there 😂

Yes, I've found that all metal wallets will eventually delaminate the sides of your cards. Not a bunch, but they will.
