FAN-OUT WALLET

It’s practical

So when I first got this I was really disappointed bu then my opinion changed very quickly. At first I was a little frustrated at how many cards it can hold. My wallet has 7 cards in it and I had to give up one of them. Really most of my cards are all digital on my phones digital wallet so really I only need to carry 5-6 cards so it's the perfect size. I am kind of disappointed that it can't hold loyalty cards but I can work around that. I tried to use the money clip but I never cary money so I tried to use it to carry a few loyalty card and it does work but when you try to pinch the device to use the leaver they slid all over the place. I personally remove the money clip and then replaced the screws with no issues. You will need a jewelers screwdriver to get the screws out as they are really tiny.

One thing that I don't think people know how to use the wallet is part of the frustration and one that I had when I first got it. I was fanning out the cards as far as I can possibly pull the leaver. This means the cards at the back ar now not being held in by the pressure spring and they flop around giving a bad experience. So if you pull the leaver out like 1/2 way it will fan the cards nicely. Then the second thing that I see wrong is people trying to get to a middle card and they don't realize that just push down all the cards in front of that card and thump it up and it is so simple to get a card out that is in the middle of the deck. Then placing a card back in. Use the edge of the card in the thumb hole and press down and it will just slip in easily.

I normally i run one of those minimalist wallet that you have to force out all the cards and flip through them. THis makes using a small wallet better. You can see from the photos though that it's like 1/2" bigger length and width but thickness is about the same. I don't like how it fits in the hand compared the the CC size wallet. It's also a bit large in the pocket and some more weight being metal. I will drive this for the new few weeks and report back any issues!

I like a good minimalist wallet. This wallet is pretty solid and heavy. Also made from good material. However, I do wish the money clip were on the other side so you had easier access to your cards. I enjoy how it holds the cards and fans them out for you to grab tho.

This wallet nails the balance between form and function, delivering on its promise of a sleek, minimalist design without compromising practicality. Here’s why I’m impressed:

The wallet is slim and lightweight, so it's easy to put in your pocket. The matte black finish gives it a sophisticated, understated look that’s perfect for both casual and professional settings. It feels solid in your hand and its easy to hold.

As claimed, it easily holds 5-6 cards, which works for me (CC's, Licence, etc). The design allows you to insert cards one at a time or slide them all in together, which is makes it easier to put things in and out of the wallet. The fanning mechanism is a clever trick, and it's easier to handle than some wallets where you have to pul out all the cards - this way you just pick the one you need. However, this does make the wallet a touch larger than the most compact cardholders, so if you’re after the absolute smallest footprint, maybe a leather-style cardholder would work better for you.

The money clip is another feature, and it's slim so it does scrape around in your pocket. I usually use the clip to hold the wallet on my pocket, but seeing as there's two screws there I may just remove them.

I also appreciate the minimal branding. There’s just a subtle logo and nothing else, which is perfect for anyone that likes the minimalist look.

Overall, the Slimwalt Metal Wallet is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to streamline their carry. It’s practical, stylish, and well-made, with just a minor trade-off in size due to the fanning feature. Highly recommend for a sleek simple metal wallet.
