Alpine SwissOliver Mens RFID Blocking Minimalist Front Pocket Wallet Leather Comes in a Gift Box

I Like Small Wallets
I got this Alpine Swiss wallet about a week ago. I like it. It replaced a wallet I loved that was even smaller that simply just wore out. This one is more of a sueded leather and uses big white contrasting stitching. It has a slot to insert ID's or credit cards on both sides and a slot behind those on both sides and then a bigger slot for perhaps money right in the middle. I never carry money in a wallet but many who read this would like that middle slot, I think.My main purpose in buying this was to keep it slim. I don' t like sitting on bulk. It hurts my butt and hurts my back. This wallet is going to accomplish that for me. I've had it in my pocket several days and I am not noticing it, and that means it's a GO. My other main concern is that it hold my cards securely. It does. They fit well and they are not going to slide out. I anticipate that as it breaks in the wallet will conform to the shape of the cards even better and hold them even more snugly. When I travel internationally I also like to be able to slip the wallet into my front pocket easily and this wallet will fit that prescription easily, too.On the box, there supposedly is RFID protection. That is a nice bonus. However, after much worldwide travel, the danger of RFID theft is a much overhyped concern and really should weigh very little in purchasing an item like this. But if this has it, great.It's well constructed, small, and not expensive. What's not to like? I am very happy with this purchase.

Well Made and Looks Good
After many years with my last credit card wallet it finally needed to be replaced. This model was the only one I could find that did not have the plastic window. I have had wallets with those windows before and they end up cracking and coming out - sometimes long before the wallet is even broke in. Plus I do not want anything on display which seems odd to me - for a man anyway. While somewhat limiting my options, it ended up being for the best.This wallet is made from somewhat stiff leather, but I am sure it will soften over time. The slots are a tight fit, which I like even though it can make it difficult to get a card or license out if you have more that one card in a slot. It forced me to get rid of a few things I had in my old wallet, which frankly, was overstuffed kind of defeating the purpose. It also prevents cards from falling out which was starting to happen more frequently with my old wallet. I have thought about using some leather oil to soften it up, but I have gotten used to the items being held more firmly and sort of prefer that now.This is a well made CC wallet and I can say that with certainty since I have had a few. If you are done carrying around a bunch of junk like pictures and receipts and are ready to make the move to a simpler more streamlined design or even just replacing your old CC wallet, you will not be disappointed by this model.

Very well made - Lasted almost 4 years.
Received my first one exactly 3 years and 11 months ago, as a gift.I work in construction, and needless to say - all my stuff takes a beating.Rough dirty hands and sweaty pants are a daily thing. I'm also the one who purchases most of our crews materials, and therefore take the company credit card I'm and Out of my wallet about 10-20 times a day (lumber, fuel, ice, paint, etc - we purchase from many vendors).What finally did the first one in?...it was in my pocket during a recent rain storm.It got soaked, and the stitching finally came unraveled - but the leather was still good.I think after almost 4 years, I can say -DEFINITELY a well made wallet.For minimalists, who don't carry a million items, only the necessities.And who appreciate quality.Check out the picture of my old one (Black - battle worn and torn stitching)and my New one (Brown, with all my basic needs in it - ready to go.)

Very good for the money
I got this a few years ago. This is slim and minimal. Don't get this if you want to put a lot of stuff. Inside material will break up. It has been durable, good to use and the cards don't fall out. Right now, the inner side of the pocket has split open because of overuse and abuse. I probably put too many stuff in that pocket. The threads on the outside are still strong though. I am going to try a different brand, but this is good value. I will get it once it's on sale. ^_^

Best Wallet Ever
5 years later and it’s holding up amazingly well. Plastic is coming through a little on the corners but it’s not a problem at all. Stretched out a little but still holds all my cards very tightly. Could not recommend more.

Cartera para mi novio
Bastante práctica, cómoda de llevar en los bolsillos, fue un regalo para mi novio en su cumpleaños y le encantó este detalle, usaba de las carteras convencionales pero se enamoró de esta, bastante firme y duradera

center pocket (cash) difficult to use, side pocket stitching ripped
Very difficult to use the center pocket for cash, tag keeps getting in the way. Stitching already started ripping on side single card slot that I use for Costco card. Otherwise looks nice and fits in pocket easily.

Very dissaponted.
Black marks on leather. Stitching of the pockets uneven. Whole wallet sewn uneven. This is the worst wallet I have ever purchased from Amazon and I have purchased many.

Excelente apariencia, pero muy frágil.
Muy bonita, excelente material, pero con un diseño muy frágil. Se rompió muy pronto. Recomendado solo sí eres extremadamente cuidadoso.
