Just as good as more expensive ejector wallet
The design is great, the price is right and feels like a 5 star product. PROS: - It isn't overpriced like the Secrid or Ekster (non-GPS tracked) wallets - Its not too thick or too thin IMO - Has two pockets that can hold money or 3-4 cards and comes with a money band - The trigger isn't as stiff as cheaper ejector wallets such as ones by MyPanacea thus less force is needed - The leather feels nice and sturdy - The overall design is nice, the logo isn't obnoxiously obvious and the trigger works exactly as advertised. CONS: - Leather can be scratched and it attracts dust/lint. • I didn't take off for this as its not a deal breaker. Maybe using a texture for the leather would alleviate how noticeable each issue would be. - Doesn't fit my niche need. • I didn't take off for this as my issue is unique to me. I wanted a wallet that ejected standard US business cards too, this one is slightly too wide and short for that but I was able to use the leather casing with another ejector wallet so I'm very happy about that happy coincidence. I'll update in a few months to see how the leather fairs everyday use.

THE Perfect skinny Trigger Wallet
Yes. Yes. Yes. So much yes. This is everything I’ve been wanting and looking for from a slim design “trigger style” wallet. Comes with elastics to wrap the wallet to hold cash. And the leather/suede style sleeve adds the perfect touch to class up the aluminum design. Cards hold super tight whethernits full or even just 1 card. (Not the case for other similar style wallets) 110% cannot beat this wallet. The only one I found with a similar trigger style is the “ekster” and I absolutely refuse to spend $80.

Amazing minimalist wallet!
I was very skeptical about these, checking out the Secrid, Ekster, And a few other brands but honestly this wallet is super tight. For a super minimalist look you can use the main base which is sturdy. For something classy or more traditional it has the leather outer sleeve. Personally I use just the base with the money band since I don’t ever see myself carry cash unless I would have had it already. You will also notice, the more cards you pack to what it can hold, the tougher it’ll be to open up. I hope that logic internalizes even though it may be obvious to some. The fan out motion of the cards does it every so often. I had read reviews saying that no it doesn’t; but also to be brutally honest the point is to push and pull out the card in one swift go. So, with that being said, this does exactly that. The build is ridiculously good. And for $36? vs $59 or $79?? this will outmatch them any time. With a warranty you can register, I know this company has me in better hands for RFID protection and wear and tear than a leather Ekster. Thank you!

Fidelo vs Ekster
I was debating about this wallet on whether it would be worth my money or should I shell out that nearly $100 Ekster wallet? Nope, bought this and I have no regrets about it either. It is essentially what Ekster wallets are like but way affordable and reasonable on pricing. I would recommend the nylon over leather which is odd to say as leather is usually the better option for a more long-lasting, durable, and tear resistant quality. However, in this scenario, the nylon is better and is resistant to those scratches, tear and wear, and water friendly. Water resistant was my biggest pro as I live in an area that rains and snows heavily. Overall, this wallet superseded my expectations and I'm very pleased with my purchase.

High Quality Material
The wallet is made from I'm very high quality material and feels great in the hand. The box, for me, holds 7 cards (3 IDs and 4 Credit Cards) including one that is embossed. Card retention is excellent but the trigger is a little stiff. Hopefully this will break in over time. I also have an Ekster Senate which is a little smaller in width and thickness. But this wallet definitely has more capacity. I plan to use it for business travel where I have to collect receipts for reimbursement and carry additional cards. The senate is still my daily carry but I love both. Pro: Price, capacity (compared to other minimalist wallets), Quality of materials and the ability to carry access cards and hotel keys in the non - RFID protected leather pockets. Cons: Bigger than other minimalist wallets and the trigger is stiff.

Absolutely awesome!
First, for those of you wondering, the straps DO fit just fine with the leather sleeve attached. An absolutely great product! When I tried the Ekster a while back, my metal credit cards easily slipped out of the middle. For $85+, this was a major disappointment. In this wallet, everything is super secure. They included 4 straps too. Great package. Even the presentation is top notch. Can't speak to the durability as I just received but I'm extremely happy with this wallet. Good job Fidelo!

Very Impressed!
I extensively researched and compared several minimalist wallets with card ejection features before buying. I finally settled on the Fidelo Hybrid. My decision was based on size, quality, features, style and also reviews both on Amazon and YouTube. The wallet arrived in a very nice package. The leather is clearly of high quality and exceeded my expections. There were 2 cash straps that fit over the outside of the inner case and the leather outer case. I was pleased that the card holder easily holds 5-7 cards of which 3 have embossing. The ejector switch is smooth and the cards come out slowly and staggered, also the cards did eject too aggressively. The outside pockets nicely fit cash and additional cards if needed. The only negative thing I can say is that the leather is not as tight around the card case as I think it should be. The case pushes out a bit when the ejector button is pushed in. It’s not really a big deal but worth mentioning. When the cash strap is put around the leather cover it solved the problem of the case sneaking out a bit. Overall I am very pleased with this product. It is a true minimalist wallet and for the price, you can’t beat the quality. The other brands I compared were the Ekster, Card Blocr, Secrid and Andar Pilot. I believe I made the right choice for several reasons especially the price tag. Great job Fidelo!

Worth twice the price.
This wallet's leather feels much higher quality and substantial than the Ekster I recently ordered that was twice the price of this one. As shown in the pictures, the color is beautiful and the stitching is precise. THIS IS A WELL MADE WALLET. The leather, while thin, has a thick-ish feel to it. The aluminum card holder has a soft, but not glossy texture. And the presentation? Nailed it. The box it came in feels leatherish, has a magnetic closure, and has felt on the inside. Well done!

5 stars, for now...
...but we'll see how this holds up. I was an Ekster Senate wallet owner--twice. Both of them broke in similar fashion; the ejection lever quit working. My initial perception of the Fidelo wallet is it's well made and a little larger than the Ekster Senate. The card ejection process is a little stiff and not as as fluid as my former Senate. I hope this wallet is durable.

Slim and easy
I love this wallet. It's super slim and fits in my front pocket so easily. No more bulky wallets. I originally was looking at the ekster wallets and wanted something a little less spendy and found this one and this one works just as good if not better. Great purchase. 🤙🤙🤙
