The Carbon Fiber and Carbon Forged wallet has a stealthy vibe to it that I really like. The all-black look will go with most outfits and it just looks great. The wallets are not cheap but they are durable. The new black elastic band gives a tighter hold on the backplate and secures your cash.
This wallet is not for everyone. If you find yourself to be a minimalist, then you will love the compact form factor of this wallet. It is compact but doesn't sacrifice storage. It can hold 12+ cards depending on if they are embossed or not. The best thing about the wallet is how fast you can pull out your card, pay, and be on your way. The ejection of it is so satisfying and it just works great every time.
I have only had the carbon forged and carbon fiber wallet for 2 weeks and so far it has not shown signs of scratching. I know that carbon fiber does tend to scratch, but since it is pretty dark the scratches may not be as noticeable. I will let you guys know if it does in the coming months. Let me know if you have any questions.
Overall the carbon fiber and carbon forged wallet are tougher then the aluminum cardholder.

Do the cards get damaged (fading) from friction against each other during pop in n out?

@ghtechreview 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, eventually they do start to wear out from the friction against each other. Idk how much faster it wears them out.

@Christopher-qg4hn 2 жыл бұрын

Yes they do. And the bottoms of the cards start to get dented and the plastic starts to separate. But honestly it’s worth it. It’s not like a new card cost money. I’ve had mine for about a year and a half and have not had to replace a card yet probably in about 6 months I will need to

If the trigger stops working how do I get my cards out?

@ghtechreview 2 жыл бұрын

If that happens, you would have to smack the back side of the wallet a couple of times to get them to slide out. I actually got a friend whose trigger got stuck, it was due to sand getting stuck in between the gaps of the trigger. He was able to get it cleared by blowing some air in a can in there.

Personally I think the ekster is too expensive even if it has the cool button, especially since I heard that the button does break easily and wear down depending on how much you use it or if it falls on the ground. Also idk how reliable the reviews are on the site since you can make one easily even without purchase.

How long do these last? I’m not going to spend that kind of money for something that doesn’t last at least 30 years, and I don’t think that plastic mechanism that flips the cards out is going to hold up that long. Plus, I don’t like bills on the outside of a wallet flapping in the breeze. Paper bills have a lot of bacteria on them and I prefer not to touch them every time I take out my wallet to get a credit card out. I would have to carry paper bills in another way.

The wallets are overpriced. The asking price is just abysmal and they are just pushing it to see how willing the customers want to go. A better option is Pularys.
