ALPAKAZip Pouch Coin - Compact Everyday and Travel Wallet - Stores Up to 14 Cards, Cash, and Loose Change - Weatherproof Minimalist Wallet - Black X-Pac VX21 Fabric

Very compact and great quality

I have the Passport wallet that I use almost every day and I bought this for my quick summer wallet. I keep a copy of my license in it with a few cards.I use this with the HUB carabineer, and I love it.

I’ve owned several Alpaka products, and they never disappoint when it comes to quality craftsmanship. This pouch is no exception—it's well-made with an excellent zipper. I wanted something compact for my sling bag to serve as a wallet, and this was perfect. I chose it for its magnetic front pouch and pen holder on the back. It easily holds 8-10 cards inside, while I keep my three most-used cards in the magnetic front pocket. I’m very happy with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sleek, functional pouch for cards, a pen, or even a small flashlight.

Good product that works as described.

Nice materials but questionable design choices with rough fit and finish.1. The Zip pouch extends past the magnetic pouch. This would be much more pocketable if it stayed within the width of the front pocket. What if they made this wallet, hear me out… wallet sized.Nobody mentions this: your cards will fit in the coin pouch. This makes more sense for a wallet than a zipper. I fit 5 cards and 4 bills in there with room to spare, you could fit 10 cards or more in there, but don’t over fill it because-2. It uses on centered magnets instead of two on the ends. This allows the corners to flip up if you fill the front pocket, which makes it harder to pocket and painful because-3. The pouch flap edges are SHARP. They come to a hard sharp point and the edges will scratch you like raking a credit card against your skin. I used a nail file to dull the sharp corners of the pouch flap, but this was simply a poor choice of material and design because my DAYFARER Active sling has a similar design but is much more polished and smooth. Considering this is the main way you open it, it shouldn’t feel like exfoliating your skin every time you open your wallet because-3. The zipper is impractical. The tag added to the zipper makes the whole wallet harder to put in your pocket, but at least it makes it quiet. The zipper itself seems nice, but this is where I’ll put my least needed things, like coins, because it’s much slower to use the zipper than to open the magnetic pouch (and your coins will stick to the magnet if you put them there), but most convenient is-4. The back pocket fits 6 cards snugly, but I suggest only one or two. They seem secure. The pen pocket is funny because the pocket isn’t high enough to meet the clip on any pen I own, the wallet is smaller than a pen. I know I’m not keeping a pen there, it should go on the top or bottom - not the back, because a pen makes the whole wallet even thicker, so-If they made this wallet fit the dimensions of the front pouch, softened and rounded the magnet flap and used magnets on both ends to keep the sides from curling up, skipped the zipper and found a better way to close that pouch that didn’t have a dangling zipper tag, and included a card slot on the back that could work for ID or a transit passes (I don’t know whether or not the back pocket blocks RFID, but it would be better if I didn’t need to remove these cards to use them), ditched the lanyard loop, and made the whole thing softer/less rigid, it would be a lot nicer.I’m gonna use it for a couple weeks and see if I can tolerate the size. It’s gonna have to soften a lot because it’s way too scratchy and rigid, and the corners already want fold up when brand new, used once, so if it starts getting worse in the next three weeks, I’m gonna return it.I hope Alpaka reads this and makes a better one. I just want a magnetic pouch card wallet that matches my Dayfarer Active Sling, but comparison is the thief of joy and this is an inferior product to that in fit and finish.

Just what I was looking for

Nice design as usual with Alpaka products. Functions well for storing coins and other small items. Nice product.

I'll start by saying that I really like Alpaka as a brand. They have solid construction and use quality materials throughout their offerings. I own a few of their pieces. This particular item goes for a few different pieces of functionality but fails to meet its ambition.* Card and cash older (zip pocket): The high-visibility interior is nice, and there's plenty of room to fit several stacked cards. There's no separate organization for cash, but you could fold it and stash it here.* Coin holder (flap pocket): The gusseted pocket is a good choice, and it does not rob from the interior space. My hangup here is a single magnet to secure the flap. It allows the corners to curl up a bit after use and might allow really small items to escape. I'd prefer to see perhaps two or three magnets secure the whole flap.* Pen & tool holder: There are two slots here -- one fitting a pocket knife and the other ostensibly for a pen. The pen one is too short for any standard pen, so you'll need to find a more compact option. There's a big problem here in that these slots steal from interior space for the cards and cash. Hard edges can place stress on your cards and make it harder to get items in and out of the zipped compartment.Overall:I appreciate the innovation, but the tool side is nearly useless to me since it steals from the interior space. It either needs some gussetting so that it has its own independent space, or remove the divider and use it for storing something large and flat (like a pocket notebook).
