umoven Men’s Slim Leather Wallet

I just received the leather wallet today. So my critique is very limited. The materials, leather and metal card case, are excellent and good quality. The ” ejectable” metal card case is ingenious and practical. There is a view window pocket for your ID, eg, driver’s license. The money clip seems a bit tight but if you don’t intend to carry a lot of bills, it is more than adequate. Having a pocket for the credit cards you use the most is nice to have. I wish there was a way to clip paper credit card receipts although you can always have the receipts emailed to you. It is well made and should function for a long time, if not abused. I would rate this a “5” but I don’t have sufficient use yet. However, I would recommend it if you’re looking for a functional wallet you can put in a front pant pocket or in a sling bag. Price is very reasonable and comparable to other similar wallets.

Me gustó mucho el diseño y lo práctica que es, los acabados se siente muy bien, recomendada al 100

have used front pocket wallets with included money clips for years. I tried a smaller option that simply was too small for the cards I feel I need to carry. This one with the pop-up card feature is excellent, extremely convenient. The weight takes a little getting used to, but after carrying a few days, I no longer noticed that. Overall, I am very pleased. It seems sturdy and I expect it will last for quite a while. I have used htis for about a month now – if something changes, I will revisit the review.

My husband loves this wallet. It’s slim and yet holds everything he needs, even cash, all securely. He loves the keather and the color. Highly recommend.

Super functional, discreet size, excellent quality and RFID protected wallet. Top product and one of my best buys in the last years! Strongly recommend…

I received my Umoven RFID blocking minimalist Wallet yesterday and have been carrying it all day today in my back pocket. I am writing only about my first impressions because I obviously cannot comment upon its durability yet. I may eventually update this review with durability comments when I have used it for a sufficient period of time. I am also only rating it against other RFID blocking minimalist wallets based upon features. I cannot comment upon how effective the RFID blocking sleeve is because I have no way of testing its effectiveness. Thus, the 5 stars I have given it is only based upon comparison of features and usability when compared to other minimalist RFID blocking wallets. If I were comparing it to regular traditional full featured leather wallets, I would only be able to give it 2 or 3 stars as explained below.

The Umoven wallet has a really good feature set for these types of wallets. It can hold up to 6 RFID credit cards within the RFID blocking metal sleeve. The cards can be ejected upward by a spring-loaded lever on the side of the wallet. The cards are ejected in such a way that the cards are at uneven levels. That allows you to easily distinguish between the cards so that you can select the card that you want. That is a definite improvement over the minimalist wallets that require you to push the cards out. There are a few slots on the outside of the RFID blocking metal sleeve for non-RFID cards. There is also a window for your drivers license just like regular wallets. The leather flap that encloses the drivers license is held closed by magnetism. There are no additional slots under the leather flap for credit cards, but there is one on the back of the flap. Users should be careful about putting the older credit cards with the magnetic strip in the slot on the back of the flap because the magnetic flap closure might demagnetize the magnetic strip on the credit card. So, your metal strip credit cards can be slid into slots on the back behind the metal RFID blocking sleeve. Non-RFID chip cards can be stored anywhere in the wallet since they will not be affected by the magnetic flap closure. There is also a removable metal clip on the back of the wallet for some paper money (or for clipping the wallet to your pocket if you prefer). The wallet comes with a small screw driver for loosening the metal sleeve if for some reason the cards get jammed inside and cannot be extracted by the spring-loaded lever. The company did not provide any additional screws like some other minimalist wallet companies do. Hopefully, none of the screws become loose and fall out. If so, you would be out of luck.

The pros of this wallet are that it has a window for your drivers license that is inside of a leather flap, an injector button to eject the RFID credit cards stored in the metal sleeve, slots on the outside for non-RFID cards, a money clip for paper money, and seemingly good build quality (note: the build quality looks very good, but only time will tell how well it holds up).

The biggest con is that it is a minimalist wallet to begin with. If you carry more than 6 RFID credit cards, and/or you carry lots of other types of cards (e.g. chip credit cards, magnetic strip credit cards, insurance cards, various types of identification cards, rewards cards, etc., etc., etc.) you will have to make do with the slots available or leave many of them at home when you go out. You will also not be able to make notes on paper and store the notes in your wallet because there is no place to store them in any minimalist wallet. In my wallets I would frequently stash notes on paper in various places. With this wallet that will be a thing of the past. Also, you will only be able to carry a small amount of paper money (i.e. only an amount that can be fitted under the metal clip). If you like to carry a lot of paper money, there is no place to put it in any minimalist wallet. Of course, as with most wallets, there is also no place to put any coins.

I did not find that having this wallet in my back pocket to be a problem. There are complaints about wallets with metal clips on them that they are impractical for back pockets because the clip either digs into you or into the chair. I did not find that to be a problem. This wallet feels fine in my back pocket because it is small enough to ride up far enough so that I am not sitting on it.

Another comment that applies to all RFID blocking wallets is whether they are truly needed in the first place. RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. Scanners read the account information via RF from a chip in the credit card. The distance range that the credit card has to be to a credit card scanner is within an inch or two. Whether people carrying RFID scanners in public places can successfully extract account information by just walking by you is debated by the experts. Even so, it probably is a good idea to block the RF signals when carrying RFID credit cards, and I believe that this wallet will do that effectively.

Absolutely love this wallet. Forced me to carry only essential cards which is good because I crammed my old wallet full. Performs exactly as it should! Fits securely in front or back pocket. Very durable and sleek design! RFID protection works so good it won’t allow me to use my key card even when it’s in the outer pocket. Also love the color options!
