Well I think my “journey” will soon be complete. I went from a regular Dunhill wallet to a Secrid as a gift from a Dutch colleague. This took some getting used to but I now use it as my main wallet (previously I thought would only really work for a night out). However for Christmas I was given a LV card holder which looks even smaller and more minimalist so looks like I will have to rationalise again now !

Had a really nice experience with walletco - the original wallet I ordered was not quite suitable and asked if I'd like to try something else (which was slightly more expense but no extra cost!) and they sent me a ridge - really like it.
Having previously been a huge All-Ett fan for years, I've recently been trying the Samsonite Prod-DLX 4S RFID. Good choice for anyone who only carries cards and a few notes and back pocket friendly. £35 from Amazon.
That said, I've finally cracked and ordered a matte black leather Secrid Slim.
I thought I mentioned it! My friend in Norfolk had his card cloned at an airport - he never uses the card for internet purchases, it was his emergency card and therefore unused, and that seems to be the likeliest place it happened. His "card" was used in a number of locations in Spain and Portugal (he went to France), for transactions less than 50 Euros each time but totalling something like 500 Euros.
I worked in the security and access control industry for over 20 years and RFID cloning is a simple procedure which the banking industry is only recently beginning to address. Similar problems are also encountered with keyless entry systems for cars. Ignore the threat at your peril I would say.
Not infinitesimal in some busy locations. I doubt that my mate was too interested in the probability as he tried to get his money refunded. The perpetrators could of course have bought a block of credit card numbers off the "dark web" but who knows? Newer cards have better security allegedly so the problem may be overstated.
I have no problem in my data being harvested by retailers - once you are on the internet, walking past CCTV cameras and carry a phone you are pretty much on someones map. None of my transactions need to be anonymous.
Going off topic - One of my colleagues was accused of harassing an ex-wife (a messy child-access case) and was able to prove that he was nowhere near the alleged her location by presenting evidence from credit card transactions and a phone log - it's not always necessary to be invisible, just don't let them get your money! :-)

I seem to be getting loads of anti RFID adverts on my FB feed
Eg https://monmonland.com/products/anti-rfid-wallet
anyone any experience with the ‘cheaper’ end of the market. For the sake of £12 I may try and see what it’s like.
Can I just say how much I am enjoying the Secrid Slim, thanks to all those in this thread who recommended it.
As a lifetime back-pocketer, it’s taking some adjustment to front-pocketing, but it’s such a clever design it’s worth it.
V. good service from slimwalletjunkie.com, BTW.
I did exactly the same as you and bought the Secrid from SWJ, I’m also very pleased with the wallet and the service from SWJ. Still get the feeling I must have lost my wallet as the Secrid is so insignificant in my front pocket.
My thanks also to the recommenders on this thread.

Ive been making these card holders for friends for a couple years now,
I make them up out of a variety of woods and they arnt as slim as the metal style ones and the way I contour them makes them very comfortable in the pocket.
Of course it doesnt carry cash but I dont tend to carry cash anyway, it holds just my normal payment cards, drivers licence, rod licence as a couple business cards.
Couldnt go back to carrying around a heavy wallet
I've got the secrid wallet, it was a present from my wife. At first i thought it was just a bit of a gimmick but I've had it for over 3 years now. Genuinely the best wallet I've ever had, can hold around 10 cards and the notes fold into the middle.
Plus is small !
Best wallet I've ever had.
A slimmer one with an inlay
I’ll see what I can do, keep an eye on SC
A bit of a thread bump but I just wanted to say that I've taken delivery of a new Secrid miniwallet in cognac today and am very pleased with it. I particularly like the RID protection and the auto card fanning from the container. I like my Trove a great deal but do find it tricky sometimes to get the cards out. It's nice to have the option.
I was given one by a Dutch colleague and although it took some getting used to, and I thought I had lost it a few times it really does work well once you have rationalised the stuff you carry around with you that you don’t need.

A very informative thread indeed
Off on hols in little over a week and only want to carry a few cards and a bit of cash around, so have ordered a Trove Swift based on many of the comments here. Hopefully it'll work just fine. I did consider the Secrid (though it's not cheap is it yikes) but had the feeling that the protrusion of the card 'lever' thingy would annoy me. Maybe I'll try that one another time.
Well that's another secrid ordered will give it a try . Do seem to have too many cards nowadays
Well I still haven’t seen anything to beat the size and ease of use of the I-clip.
Bought lots of nice looking small wallets but they aren’t small enough and are too fiddly.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Have been using an anti-RFID wallet with a secrid-like mechanism. Although there was some good pop-up of cards advantage, after a while could not stand to have like a tile in my back pocket.
Have finally bought an Akielo Delta wallet, and am 100% happy. It is of good quality leather, well stitched andhas space for 8 cards and banknotes. One pull out tab gives easy access to 4 cards, two slots have cut slots which allow to push out the card. And comfortable in my usual pocket.
And really, was just 15 quid, ok by me.

I was a secrid convert, happy for a few years.
Then realised I only ever use one card so got a phone case with a card slot in the back and don't carry a wallet at all any more. The ultimate slimming down!
No RFID protection though, so might regret it!
I use a Mont Blanc credit card holder. It holds all I need and feels like it will last years. No RFID protection though.

Any owners of a Secrid miniwallet?
Can I carry 4 bank/creditcards, 4-6 other cards, 4-6 banknotes (and perhaps a few coins) in this Miniwallet or do I need a Slimwallet or even Twinwallet?
I have a mini wallet - the one with the popper closure and reckon you would manage all of that.
It has a couple of pockets as well as the card holder. I have got a tile, crefitcard tool and oyster card in the pockets, can hold plenty of notes once you fold them right and a handful of cards although I did slim the cards down when I first went to a secrid a few years ago. Haven't missed the spares !
Thanks,
I will order one this week.
Still using my aluminium solid design, still going strong after 2yrs
Found my Walter wallet the other day, was given to me as a freebie by someone on here and have been meaning to pass it on. Didn't get on with it, but it converted me to slim wallets and that a solid one suits me, which led me to get the solid design.
If anyone wants the walter, it's a white plastic one, send me a pm and it's yours, ideally I'd like it to go to someone who wants to try a slim wallet for the first time, like I was, rather than someone taking it for the sake of a freebie
Cheers

Another option I have just stumbled across (no affiliation):
https://versowallets.com/
I'm just deciding between the secrid slim and mini wallet.I like the cleaner look of the slim but am wondering how it would keep closed without the popper. I tend to carry up to £100 in notes generally. Any experience with this anyone?
