Three different styles of wallet and all highly affordable
0:03
Let's check them out. Dave Taylor here, and I'm looking at Kinsd minimalist wallet
0:16
I think that's how you pronounce their name, K-I-N-Z-D. And they're actually really cool, and they're all extraordinarily affordable
0:23
But I want to start by, first off, I guess we can start by looking at the packaging. They do a really nice job, and for the price, you'll be pretty a start
0:29
at how much effort they put into this and make sure everything looks good
0:34
So enough with the box, we'll get rid of that. So this is our first wallet
0:38
I want to start by saying all their wallets are RFID blocking, but they specify, and this is good to know
0:45
they specify that it blocks at 13.56 megahertz, but not 125 kHz
0:53
Great. What does that mean? What it means is that your credit cards and your driver's license and all of those things
1:00
things, if those are RFID enabled, your wallet will block people scanning those
1:04
That's a good thing. It also means that if you have something like a hotel key in your wallet, that can be scanned
1:12
So that's kind of cool. So if you're staying at a hotel, you could have your hotel key in your wallet
1:17
Just put your like sort of butt up to or your hip up to the door key sensor, and then it
1:24
opens up. So good to know. So when you read about RFID blocking, it's worth knowing exactly
1:30
what can they block. To me, the most important thing are credit cards and drivers licenses
1:34
and they've got that covered. Now, let's look at this first one. This is the Napa Leather Slim
1:40
Wallet and as you can see their big thing is all their wallets are super slim Now somehow my wallet as I use it gets a little bit thicker but I guess this is a self thing too Now this features six card slots
1:55
There's three on each side. So you can see here, there's one, two, three
2:01
And in addition to the card slots on each side, there's a pocket
2:06
So this is what they call, ingeniously enough, a money pocket. But more importantly, there's a bigger one in the middle that gives you
2:12
you more space and I know it's a little hard to tell because it's a black wallet
2:16
because that's just the color they have them in different colors and different leather finishes but these are the ones I have and then there's the ID one I just
2:24
slipped a business card in here but you can have your driver's license in there
2:28
easily enough and this whole thing is super slim look at that I have three credit
2:33
cards and my driver's license and some money because you should always have some
2:38
money all of that and this thing is a fraction of an inch thick
2:42
So, super nice. Now, let's talk about the other two, and then I'll talk about the price at the very end
2:48
So this is the Napa Leather Slim Wallet. So next up is basically the same wallet, same design, but they add a clip to it
2:58
And this is really nice. This is this stainless steel clip, super strong
3:02
You can put money in here, if you're so inclined, but of course it does have that pocket in the middle too
3:08
This one's a bit stiffer because, A, I have more credit cards in it
3:12
But B, also that clip is going to change things a little bit. And again, this time you can see my driver's license
3:18
and I have various credit cards on both sides. And there is now no side pocket in addition to the big money pocket
3:26
So that's a little difference, too, in the terms of the design. But really nice and that is one strong clip So if you clip this onto your belt or something it not going anywhere Handy Now we have one more wallet to look at and that this one
3:42
And this one is kind of old school, right? So there's nothing on the outside
3:46
This is just this ridiculously slim what they call bifold wallet, because there's only two pieces
3:52
A trifold has, you guessed it, a third segment. So that might go in and like this
3:58
They do have some trifold, but this is their bifold wallet. And this one has wallet ID space here with the clear window
4:06
And then there's space for just a couple. This is actually a much more modest wallet
4:11
So this has two card slots. They're both in use. And then there has the ID slot
4:17
And then there's the big slot on the back for money. This is what I consider sort of a traditional wallet design
4:23
But there's also two little hidden pockets, one on each side. I mean, not hugely hidden, but it is somewhere where you can also help sort of organize
4:33
If you have, one of the things I carry is I carry like loyalty cards from coffee shops
4:39
since I spend a lot of time in coffee shops. And that could be the perfect place to have your favorite one stashed or something
4:44
So all three of these wallets, RFID blocking this particular color I really like
4:50
It's a little again hard to see on the camera, but this is waterproof coffee color
4:56
So waterproof, good. Coffee color, possibly beneficial in case you spill coffee on it
5:03
But regardless, all three of these really nice wallets, they've done a really nice job with
5:08
their design and when we get to the price, you'll be like, really? That's all
5:12
I mean, I have a friend who literally made his own wallet with duct tape. He can afford one of these and he would look a little bit less amateur hour Sorry buddy But before we get to the price let me ask if you can subscribe to my channel and give me some feedback on this video What kind of wallet do you have and how
5:29
thick is it? Seriously, take your wallet out of your pocket and then just measure its total thickness
5:35
at the thickest possible part and then leave that as a comment. I'm betting that the average person
5:40
who's watching this has a wallet that's at least an inch and a half thick. So where do you stand up in
5:46
that? And I'll leave the same. I'll leave a comment and tell you how much my wallet is in width
5:52
Now, let's talk about the price because this is where this gets really cool
5:56
So here are the three different wallet designs. And we have, let's see, let's do this in order
6:02
So this is the slim wallet. This is the slim minimalist with clip
6:08
And then this is the buy fold. And all of them are $9.99 at Amazon.com
6:15
When I mean say all, I mean, each of them, I suppose, is $9.99. So for 30 bucks, you can get all three styles and then vary them depending on what you're doing and what time of the day it is. Pretty cool. They also have other leather finishes and colors, so that's worth checking out too. So, kinsed minimalist wallets on Amazon.com, $9.99 each. Kind of hard to go wrong there. I would encourage you to check them out. And with that, I'm going to put my wallet back together. And I'll catch you in my next. video
