Secrid

Having worn out a leather wallet over the years I thought I’d look for something much slimmer and less of a faff; so here we are with the secrid. I opted for the silver finish, so the lever at the bottom is black. It’s very small in stature, to the point there is virtually no trouser bulge like a regular leather item. The finish is good, and I have yet to scratch it during use. There isn’t a great deal to go wrong with this, when using the lever the action is smooth and takes minimal effort to eject the cards. I like that it separates the cards on release, so you can pick out which you need rather than them all being at the same level. I comfortably carry a mix of 5 embossed and non-embossed cards without issue, obviously you can fit more if you go for flat cards. I read reviews on here for paying £20, and I’d suggest that the current price of £44 is inflated for the item. When compared with similar items however they are going for even more. I’m okay with the current price, but for such a simple device I think it should be cheaper. Security wise I have tested it and have been unable to activate any of my cards using a card reader when inserted fullly in to the case. Good quality and I think will last, good value for money…..not so sure.

Great design very slim so fits in your pocket without giving you a wallet bulge. 4 stars because you can only get 4 embossed (UK credit) cards in it. this would be fantastic if a little thicker so you can get 6 embossed cards in. I have had to purchase a second one for my other cards. I would recommend the double one because of this, it would still be slimmer than most other card holders and is less expensive than two. Very well made product, no issues with the lever.

This is by far the best RFID card holder on the market, the revues for other models clearly show that most of them do not last long. My only criticism is that the SECRID holder only holds 5 cards and not 6 cards as advertised, the reason being is that most credit cards are embossed and this makes them slightly thicker than cards such as driving licences. The strength of this product is in its simple design and the fact that it seems to be made from a single piece of alloy. SECRID do make a thicker version but this is just two cases stuck together, if they come up with an 8 to 10 card version they would capture the market.

Very slim and very mechanism works well. Can hold 6 cards but works better with 5 only because of the raised letters on certain cards if only 1 or 2 of your cards has raised letter then it will work fine with 6. The mechanism is really cool and when you press it, it displays all your cards like in the picture so you can easily access all of the cards even the ones in the middle. The build quality is really good and it feel like a well made product.

If you no longer carry cash then this is for you and your cards. Not only does it protect your cards from damage but also from Radio frequencies. These are in tap and pay machines in stores and can be used by hackers to access your cards. But not in this protected card holder. This card holder is minimalist and keeps your cards safe, organised and protected. I have been using Secrid card protector since 2019. This purchase was a gift. I highly recommend this Secrid card protector.

I really like the design of this sleek cardholder. It offers a lot of protection for the cards but just in cosmetics but also the protection of it being swiped. It is very useful as I travel around a lot. My only negative points are that the components inside I'm not as durable as outside. With my cardholder the arm that pushes the card out is just plastic and it has started to stick and ware down. Everyting you push the card out I hear an awful scraping sound :( might just be a faulty product

An excellent well designed compact and stylish item. I've been looking for a good wallet for a while and have tried various leather ones as well as some of the new metal cases. They often became jumbled and, in the case of the metal ones, soon fell apart. This item keeps my 4 most important cards separate for easy access whilst I keep all of the other cards in a personal organiser in by bag. Card's pop out perfectly each time allowing for easy selection. It's sturdy and doubt it would break easily (I've had it four months and have sat on it regularly and I'm not a small man!), I highly recommend the product. Would probably take 5 credit cards (although manufacturer recommends 4). Not suitable for business cards.

I chose this item because I was looking for a wallet I could keep unobtrusively in my trouser pocket and which would take up very little space, unlike a leather wallet. Prior to purchasing the Secrid Cardprotector I would keep the odd credit card unprotected in my trouser pocket. Unfortunately I would also use the same trouser pocket to keep other small objects such as coins and a comb. I was never happy keeping this collection of objects together because I felt they would damage the credit cards. It was pure chance that I came across the Secrid Cardprotector which offers a slim, metal receptacle for the safe storage of 'cards'. I have found that I can keep up to 5 'embossed' credit cards in this metal wallet or maybe up to 7 'plain', non-embossed cards. Mixing embossed and plain cards will result in a compromise with regard to its capacity. I currently carry a mix of 5 cards. A sixth plain card could be carried but this would make the eject button very still to operate. My advice would be not to overload the eject mechanism. The eject button is located in one corner of the Secrid Cardprotector and when operated causes the cards to be partially ejected in a stepped fashion so that each card can be readily identified. I keep my most used card at the bottom of the stack of cards because it is the easiest to extract from that location. Reinserting the card after use presents no problems. The Secrid Cardprotector is advertised as offering protection against fraudulent access using electronic means and I have no doubt it will adequately shield the cards from all forms of electronic signals. Its metal structure acts as a Faraday Cage. What I have yet to ascertain is how great is the risk of credit cards being read remotely? I have only one concern ... is the Secrid Cardprotector worth the £20 I paid for it. I would have thought £10 was nearer the mark.

the latch to release the cards is not smooth this is arguably the most importent thing to get right on this kind of wallet and this product fails to deliver on my expectation

Edit 10-08-16 - now 3 years later and the wallet is still great. Cards still securely held and though I was worried about the fanning mechanism breaking, it has survived drops woth no damage. The anodizing has worn off a bit on the corners but too badly. I found that by putting the embossed cards facing each other that you can get more items in the holder. I currently have 4 embossed cards, an ID and thick insurance card woth room for one more. This is by far the best wallet I have ever had. Wallet will hold up to 6 credit card sized items. It does not handle thin paper cards well (like insurance cards) so I stuck all of mine into a card pocket (much like the RFID protection pockets) to give more girth. Due to the extra material from the pocket I am only able to get 5 items in mine. It holds everything snugly, though not so tight that it is hard to insert or remove them. I have dropped it a few times and the cards do come out a bit, but no more than a 1-2cm. The mechanism to fan out the cards is very simple and only has one moving part. You press down on the lever on at the bottom and it swings to the other side. Inside the wallet is a piece of plastic with 'steps' cut into it that push each card to a different height. There is no way to carry cash in this wallet, but there are many option to remedy that. Many don't carry cash at all anymore either. I currently use a binder clip to hold my cash to the wallet. I am also considering adding an adhesive pocket clip of a cell phone to it to use and a money clip. There is also a model of the wallet that has a leather wrap-around that holds additional cards and a place for cash. It may be a bit expensive, but I have gone though several wallets in the last 10 years at about $20-$30 a piece. They all end up falling apart at the seams and get stretched out to the point that my cards fall free at random. So even if it only lasts a couple of years it is cheaper in the long run. The leather wallets are also thicker and heaver empty that this is loaded. This wallet forces you to cut down to what you really need, and to keep the receipts and other junk out of your pockets.

Robusta, pequeña y muy útil para los que llevamos lo mínimo. Buena marca.

Very compact and snappy. I love the design and feel of it in my pocket. There isn't a huge wad of cash or cards in a giant leather wallet. This puts my essentials in a quick to use and easily accessible place. The Flick - So the lever flips all the cards (or cash) up after flicking it, and they cascade 85% as well as you'd expect. Depending on the velocity of your thumb and other factors, it can change the way they shoot out. But 100% of the time, they all pop out and it's always faster than opening a folded wallet and searching for cards. The only complaint is cash does not respond or flick up as well as cards, but it doesn't get stuck in there or anything. I would just recommend putting a few bills in the pocket outside of the product. The Lever - It doesn't poke my leg from inside my pocket at all and is very responsive and durable. It's been months of me using it and no degradation is noticed. The Feel - It feels very slim in a pocket and fits perfectly. My key-ring doesn't get wrapped around a bulky folded wallet with this guy, so it definitely gives you more pocket space. Capacity - Although it's only about 6 cards to limit, it honestly makes my life easier to manage. I keep my vital cards (ID, Credit, Debit, School ID, some cash) in this guy, then keep the rest of my cards in a different wallet in my car, in case I need them elsewhere. I can't really test the NFC guard but I assume it works, so that's a nice added feature. Definitely helped slim my pockets and manage my cards better. A very good product, highly recommended.
