ROCO MINIMALIST Aluminum Slim Wallet RFID BLOCKING Money Clip - No.2

My initial reaction when I first opened the package and put some cards in the slim wallet was...oh boy this is going to be annoying to get cards in and out of, but I decided to give it an honest try anyway. It is a tight fit when you slide your credit cards/ID in between the pieces of metal, but turns out it's a huge positive...my cards never fall out of this thing, and when you get use to it...removing a card when you need to isn't really difficult at all. Sometimes I find myself relieved when it comes time to checkout in certain places because I just pull the slim wallet out...slide out a card if I need to, pay, then slide it back in and go on my way...100 times easier than dealing with a wallet or having loose cards/cash in your pocket. The black band keeps the two pieces of aluminum together perfectly to protect and hold your cards and even allows you to slide cash in behind it. I have approximately 4 cards in mine and it fits in my pocket very nicely! The black band does attract lint from the pocket but it doesn't bother me much. I can't see myself ever going back to a wallet after using one of these 🙂

I am comparing two popular Minimalist Slim Wallets:Woogwin vs ROCOBoth a very similar with some subtle differences...Full disclosure... I received the Woogwin version at a reduced rate for a fair review. So that is exactly what I plan to do, by comparing it to another popular version sold on Amazon... the ROCO.Both products claim they are RFID BLOCKING. I did NOT test this nor is that a compelling reason for me to buy one. I like a slim wallet, I don;t carry cash, and I have lots of cards... so that is the drive for me to get one.Woogwin: (Woogwin Minimalist Slim Wallet Mens RFID BLOCKING Money Clip )On 10/6/2016 the price was $8.89, but I received it for $1.99Plates are made a black plastic.+ Less expensive - Price today is as low as $6.99+ Good for lots of cards 20++ Cards slide easier in and out... but that is because the band is so lose at 20+ cards- Edges have a bite to them, especially the corners.- Not good for 1 - 15 cards, I would fear I would lose my cards.ROCO: (ROCO Minimalist Aluminum Slim Wallet RFID BLOCKING Money Clip - No.2)Plates are made of aluminum.On 10/5/2016 I paid $14.70+ Comes with two different sized bands... Good small or Large set of cards.+ Tighter bands. Even on the larger band... it held tight even with less than 15 cards.+ Has smaller band to hold 2-8 cards easily+ Edges are smooth with no sharp points.- Cards are tight.. hard to slide out... but that could be a plus because they are help tight. No fear of them falling out.Bottom line:The Woogwin is a great price if you plan to carry 16+ Cards.The ROCO is a little more money but you can hold far less cards at a time.

I was a bit skeptical when I first purchased this. After using it for a few days however, I don't think I can go back to a normal wallet. The bands are sturdy (so far) and hold your credit cards and money tightly. It also doesn't take much effort to remove or insert cards, but may require a little practice. I can't speak about how well it is against RFID skimming, but the solid metal plates will most likely do the job.I do not recommend placing it in your back pocket when driving or seated since it will press the cards down at an angle and stretch the band. I wouldn't place bills in between the band and plate, but rather, fold the bills into 3rds and insert behind the last credit card.Overall, it's a great minimalist wallet for holding IDs and credit cards (which is all I need it for). If you do use it for paper money also, it can be cumbersome, but not impossible to use. I'd recommend a money clip for that.

So simple, so easy to use, but ingenious. Two separate pieces of aluminum held together with a big rubber band, with your cards sandwiched inside. Rigid aluminum protects your cards and is just slightly larger to protect the edges. Cards are not that easy to remove, but easy enough until I learn to properly use the wallet. I have ten cards in mine and they fit easily. I've used a small leather minimalist wallet for years so the small size is familiar. Came with one extra band. As to whether or not the RFID works, who knows? **UPDATE** After six months use I still struggled to locate and remove a needed card from the wallet. I also discovered as my cards were rubbing together they were being severely scratched, especially the ones up against the aluminum. I have returned to my previous minimalist leather wallet that has individual slots for each card.

cool idea. definitely saves space. Gets super annoying and its a lot easier to not find your cards than it is. I don't even know if it truly is an effective RFID blocker. it was an impulse buy looking for a slimmer way to declutter my pockets. for that purpose it did work well. however getting cards in an out and finding the right card without holding up the line of our ever so patient society these days proves to be a challenge. Switched back to a classic leather wallet eventually.

My husband loves this wallet. The cards are somewhat hard to get out but he puts the ones he uses most often on the side so they're easy to get to. I took off one star because it is, like others have said, impossible to open it in a V shape and consult the cards. They will fall out.

Really disappointed with this item. $50+ for two pieces of metal and two heavy duty elastics. Total waste of money. Also, you can't access the card you want without removing the elastics and looking through all cards in it. This puts you at risk of possibly dropping one, if not all, cards. Don't bother -
