I've been using it for 2 months now. Easy to carry in the front pocket of your slim fit jeans, looks exactly like in the pictures, very elegant. I recommend this wallet if you don't use much cash, ideally if you only carry 3 bills with you, and if you can reduce the amount of cards you carry to 10 or less, including ID and memberships. I keep rarely used cards in the car (like membership cards that I use once a month). The down side: the card kept in the front pocket is hard to pull out because the "smart strap" above it stops it from sliding out if you use your thumb to drag it out with friction. You have to use your index finger get a grab along with your thumb, that way you can raise it and pull it out; that's not an option if you have chubby fingers. You can also pull the "smart strap" and hold it up with your left thumb, then with your right thumb you pull the card out with friction. Neither option is confortable enough to keep your most used card in there, but you can use it though, it's not a deal breaker. About the amount of cards it can hold. I keep exactly 10 cards in my wallet: 4 credit cards, ID, License, Memberships, among others. I keep 2 cards on back pocket, another card on front pocket (less frequently used), and 7 cards in the middle pocket (including 4 credit cards which are thicker than normal because of the raised numbers). So far it hasn't stretched and the cards remain in place even when I hold the wallet upside down; If I shake it while upside-down the cards do slowly come out, but there's no scenario in real life where you put your wallet upside down, holding it on the sides to avoid having a grip of the cards inside, and shaking it. About the leather. It is high quality leather, I really recommend you buy this one instead of cheaper $10-15 dollars options because of this. It is showing signs of wear, but in quality leather wallets like this one, that only adds to its beauty. Regular (bigger) wallets get worse in less time, because the corners start to bend, plus the friction of pulling a bulky wallet out of your tight pockets damage further the leather. About the "smart strap" and middle pocket. I quote "smart strap" because it's a simple elastic strap which retracts back to its place when released. It's easy to pull, it has a good grip and gets the job done. The middle pocket is easy to use, you can put the most used cards on front and back of cards in middle pocket, that way it's a matter of: pulling the strap, pulling the card, pushing the rest back into the pocket. You do have to spread the cards to get the one you need in the middle, but again, not difficult, not messy and really, how many times a day you use each one of your 10 cards. You can organize it so the top 4 most used cards get really accessible. About the RFID protection. The middle pocket is RFID protected, and works as advertised, I tried using my subway card with the RFID reader and it didn't work, I had do pull the card half-way out of the middle pocket so it could read it. I tried putting the card in the front pocket, weirdly enough it didn't read it. I tried it with the card inside my old wallet and it read it inmediately. They claim only the middle pocket is RFID protected but in my experience, the front pocket also was protected. Don't take my word for granted here, perhaps my case is an exception, perhaps the back pocket isn't protected and there you can keep your RFID card, and perhaps it was a one time event, but the wallet in the middle pocket is consistent because I've tried it several times on different readers, including my work RFID reader. I'll get back here with an update after 5 months. Let's hope for the best. Review: Slim, comfortable, and durable! - I've been using this wallet for 9 years as a front pocket wallet and it still holds up great. I went with this type of wallet over something like the Ridge wallet because this is made from softer and more flexible materials. The card-pulling strap still works as well as the day I got it. I have accidentally put this wallet through the washer a few times but the only consequence has been that the leather exterior lost of a bit of luster. One thing that has noticeably changed is that the middle pocket has stretched a bit so cards may fall out if there aren't enough in there to keep things snug. I usually keep 3-4 cards in there, but if I go down to 2 cards, they'll start shifting around. ## Features - REFINED & STYLISH β€” Designed in Britain to best combine elegance, comfort and convenience.

I went with this type of wallet over something like the Ridge wallet because this is made from softer and more flexible materials. The card-pulling strap still works as well as the day I got it. I have accidentally put this wallet through the washer a few times but the only consequence has been that the leather exterior lost of a bit of luster.

I usually keep 3-4 cards in there, but if I go down to 2 cards, they'll start shifting around. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks Great, Feels Great, Fits Great, BUY IT!! *by P***M on November 12, 2016* For me, this wallet is really great. I have a tendency to load my traditional wallet with receipts, business cards etc., no matter how hard I try not to. I searched for a few days to find a minimalist wallet that appealed to me. I came back to this one a few times, so I decided to try it out. Glad I did! I've had it for over a week now and I really love it. I have 3-credit cards and an insurance card in the middle pocket, my work key card (about the thickness of 3 credit cards) in the back pocket and my ID in the side pocket. Everything fits great - I could probable fit 1-2 more credit cards in the center pocket, but that would be pushing it's limit, at least until it stretches out a bit. The elastic strap used to pull the cards out really makes this wallet great - it is nicely concealed and works like a charm. I sure hope the strap lasts as long as the wallet does, because without it you would not be able to get your cards out of the center pocket without struggle. I haven't tested the RFID protection yet (that's why I gave it 4-stars), but so far, overall, no complaints and totally recommend it. Oh!!!....BTW, I don't carry cash very often. When I do, I can't easily fit any in the wallet while loaded with the items I mention above. Without my key card in there, however, I could easily fold up and fit 5-10 bills in one of the side pockets. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/29622147-vaultskin-chelsea-slim-minimalist-front-pocket-leather-wallet-with-rfid](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/29622147-vaultskin-chelsea-slim-minimalist-front-pocket-leather-wallet-with-rfid) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
