Bryker Hyde Slim Vertical Bifold RFID Blocking Full Grain Leather Wallet for Men, Front Pocket, Bill/Receipt Pocket and Pull Tab Card Slot (Carbon Fiber Black with Pull out Card Pocket)

I recently reduced the number of cards (credit & other) that I'm carrying around, and my existing bi-fold with an additional flip-out piece was 1. falling apart and 2. way too much capacity for the amount of things I'm now carrying around. I was originally eyeing the bi-fold side-flip bryker hyde as a duplicate replacement for my wallet (I have two ID cards and liked having two ID windows with my previous wallet), but ultimately realized I don't really use my second ID all that much and any wallet with the second ID window will have an additional flip-out part, which adds thickness. I considered going full-minimalist, but ultimately decided against it and purchased this wallet. I think it's the perfect bridge between a full-on minimalist card carrier and the full-size bi-fold with side flip monster. I've only used the wallet for a couple of days so far, but the construction looks to be quality and the leather looks and feels nice. It has the perfect amount of card slots for me: I have a total of 6 plastic cards, 5 paper business cards, a thicker office access keycard, 2 guitar picks, and ~8 bills and the wallet sits a little less than 3/4 inch tall. A couple of observations I've had after a weekend of use: 1. I originally had my debit card in one of the exterior pockets, but i feel like the end of the card that sticks out of the pocket is going to get cracked off eventually if I leave it there. I moved it to an interior pocket. I wouldn't recommend regularly keeping any cards in the two external pockets; I will probably only use them for temporary items like hotel keycards from now on. 2. Bills are a little difficult to stuff into the bill pocket. Typical bi-fold designs come with horizontal card orientation and have plenty of end room in the bill pocket; with this wallet's vertical card orientation, it makes that pocket a much more snug fit for bills. Though I think this will get better as the wallet wears in. 3. I keep an office access badge in the outside slip pocket (I think it's an RFID badge, and not NFC). I was happy to find that the card reader still picks up my badge through the wallet; I was concerned that it might not work with the RFID protections. I've read access badges use different frequencies than credit card RFID's, and that typically the "RFID blocking" wallets only work on the CC frequencies. I don't know enough about it to comment further, I don't have any RFID CC's but by access badge works through the wallet and that's a good thing for me. Overall, I'd highly recommend this wallet after first weekend of use. I don't anticipate any short-term quality issues, but I will update the review if anything abnormal happens. June 2020 update: a year later still using this wallet with no desire to switch. In fact if this one busts I'd most likely reorder the same one. It's held up well and has the perfect amount of slots for me.

Its a good looking wallet possibly not a as slim as I hoped. Its still growing on me. Honestly nothing to hate about it though personally wouldn't mind variety inside when you open it perhaps a colored interior. Ill come back after using it for a longer period but so far give it a chance. The pockets on the front could be more snug though. Alright so Ive put it through its paces I've added some conditioner to it as Ive noticed the wallet got really dry but after a tad bit of love it has a nice patina. I haven't packed it tightly but I use every slot now. My only complaint is maybe it could be a smidge wider for fitting cash. Cash is not conveniently placed in it. ( honestly not a big deal as I hardly carry cash much now) but if your considering it as a gift and they use cash often it might be a annoyance. I enjoy this wallet durable and might Maybe competition for bellroy wallet. Update* after 1yr* Im now deducting stars as the stitching has came apart and I no longer trust placing cards in that section. I carry 8 cards in it total and a few extra paper thin cards from local places at times. I will contact customer service before then. I did enjoy this wallet, I would even condition the leather a bit to prevent from drying out. From 5* to 4* as I really enjoyed this item. Update* company provided me with a new wallet and covered under warranty, such great service HIGHLY recommend the product. If somehow this wallet rips again Ill gladly purchase and work with this company. They really stand by the product. My only suggestions to making it more durable is perhaps a double stitch in some areas.

By changing the orientation of the card pockets compared to most other wallets, the wallet is better designed to fit in ones pocket and is of sufficient size to accommodate Euros should one travel overseas. The card pockets are snug but not so tight as to make insertion or removal of cards difficult. Quality appears excellent. I highly recommend this item.

This is a lightweight wallet yet heavy duty wallet. It's built with the minimalist in mind, yet holds everything I need. It has a nice design and functions well with easy access to anything I need. I have not tested the rfid abilities, yet haven't had any card theft issues either. Overall it is a good wallet, the price is a bit steep but worth it.

Thin. Great quality for price. He loves the CC pull out part, says it’s super convenient. He says this is his favorite wallet brand. He wears his wallets out pretty quickly, that’s why this time I got leather. He loves the gray leather. I usually buy him black. Highly recommend! I’ve bought these wallets for other family members too for stocking stuffers and everyone always ends up really liking them.

I've been generally impressed with the quality of materials used in the wallet. I can attest to the fact that the wallet can accommodate significantly more than expected (I doubled and even tripled up my cards). That said, after running into an unrelated warranty issue (some stitching came undone, but I know for a fact it was a care issue that was on me), the manufacturer did advise that overstuffing the wallet could degrade the seams/stitching. All this said, it's a great price for a quality wallet, and the company is even more impressive. They were extremely prompt, no questions asked, and didn't require that I ship back my ripped wallet. The entire return process took maybe four emails, and three days including shipping time for the new wallet. That's unbeatable service in general, and mind boggling for ~$30-$40 wallets.

I'm a Bryker Hyde fan, I own several models and I've gifted several to my family. I wanted a more compact front pocket wallet with good card capacity, ID window and full size bill compartment. I purchased the Bryker Hyde Slim Vertical Bifold Wallet several months ago and I loved it - checked all the boxes and the two tone black and orange was a huge bonus. There are 3 card sleeves on the left inside of the wallet (where the logo is), opposite the ID window. I placed two cards in the outer sleeves and a 3rd card underneath. Unfortunately the 3rd card was a metal amex card which eventually ripped through the inner lining allowing the cards to move freely from one side of the sleeve to the other (i.e., the metal Amex started falling out of the wallet as I removed it from my pocket). I can still use it with caution but it's just a matter of time before I lose a card or two so I replaced it with another brand with similar style that seems to be working well. Just wish the Bryker Hyde had held up, I love the style, design and especially their mission. All three of the other BH models I have are holding up well but the black and orange was my favorite while it lasted.

REVISED 12/9/23: I love this wallet, but after less than 1 year, the wallet started ripping at the seams. The fabric interior just started fraying, so it can't be resewn. I am going to try to glue the seams, but that almost certainly won't last. Very disappointed. I have never had a wallet fall apart.on me before, and all of my prior wallets lasted for YEARS before retiring them and even then, were still usable. Very, very disappointed. I needed a new wallet, and I FINALLY found a real, adult's wallet that isn't too big to carry. It actually fits cash and holds a decent number of cards. It's modern, but still an actual wallet, not a business card holder people keep using as a "minimalist" front pocket a "wallet."

Slim wallet but cards are hard to get out from the two outside slots.

This is a great little wallet, I love the ease of access of the two cards in the front, and the pull tab at the back makes it so much easier to pull out those rarely used cards when you need them. I wouldn't mind if it were a little wider to give bills a bit of extra space so they aren't easily seen, but they do fit without sticking out. It's worth knowing that the rfid protection doesn't extend to the easy-access card slot at the front, but I just make sure that one faces my body in my pocket if I'm worried about it. Overall very pleased.

Pros: Lots of space for cards (I'm holding 12 currently and I think I could get 2 more in) Feels like it's well made - durable Has a quick release tab for cards (amazing feature) A quick access card slot (I use it for my transit pass) Has a bills section Cons: It's slightly bigger than I prefer. It's about 1-2 cm wider than my phone (not the end of the world and a trade off for the space)

It feels like a $9 wallet on a good day you'd buy it for $6, Backing material feels like a cheap cardboard insert with a horrible plastic liner, The included leather tab for comparison barely even resembles the texture upon closer inspection, Cheap China strikes again.
