ALPAKA HUB Cardholder Waterproof and Versatile Card Wallet

I carry my wallet in my front pants pocket and have tried a number of 'minimalist' wallets over the years, from a Tyvek wallet (that wore out quickly) to business card holders (difficult to access the contents). The ALPAKA UP Cardholder V2 is the best minimalist wallet I've tried. I use it to carry two credit cards, one in each outside pocket, and a driver's license and health insurance card in the middle pocket. I've been carrying it for 10 days now and it's small and light enough that I've forgotten it was in my pocket. After 10 days use it shows no signs of wear (it appears very well made). It's easy to get to either credit card in the outside pockets (and I can see which card is in which pocket without pulling it out). It's also easy to get to my ID out, since the center pocket has a pull tab. The ALPAKA UP Cardholder V2 is well designed and well made, easy to use, compact and light, and as a bonus it's environmentally friendly!

I was primarily interested in this wallet due to the X-Pac material used as the primary material. I typically prefer to carry minimal wallets that still allow me to carry more than my daily essentials in case of emergencies, so this isn't my style generally, but I love interesting fabrics. I find pull-tabs like this not really attractive, but I do like how this one functions. The wallet is extremely slim and compact, but still allows me to carry my primary cards along with a couple extras. Everything fits quite tight initially, but I am okay with that. Not sure yet if I'll make this my daily carry, but I will definitely be keeping it in the rotation.

I wanted a very lightweight and compact card case for EDC. I liked this one since it is xpac. Leather tends to be a little thicker and have more pocket presence, which is something I wanted to avoid. I was carrying 6 cards and hoped this would let me still carry them all, but I had to remove one credit card to get everything to fit. I did try it with all 6, but the middle 4 were just too hard to get back in after pulling the tab. I currently have 2 normal thickness credit/debit cards, 1 in each exterior pocket. In the center I have my apple card plus my insurance card and driver’s license. Also, the cards on the outside have raised numbers so it’s easy to slip them out using my thumbnail. I don’t believe this is RFID blocking, so if that’s something you’re concerned with you might want to look elsewhere. Also, there is no way to get any folded bills in here with 5 cards. If you only carry 3 you would be able to get a couple bills in one of the outside pockets. I don’t carry cash so it isn’t a problem for me.

The wallet is a very sleek/modern/minimalist design that i really like, it looks awesome. Construction feels solid and high quality. It feels great in your hands and is barely noticeable in your pocket. However after 5 cards this it at maximum usable capacity. Adding a 6th card causes the cards to be so tight that its no longer easy to use. Even the pull strap is difficult borderline forcing it with 6 cards, almost bent the 6th card in half trying to push it into the middle pocket. At 5 everything just works, still a tight fit but its simple and quick to retrieve the cards. I think if the exterior pockets were just a hair looser each it would be perfect. The cards on the outside add pressure to the inner pocket and vice versa. Ive only had it a few days and using it has been very functional/practical. Im hoping that after some time the material will stretch a little. Great quality wallet from alpaka and worth the money.

This cardholder was exactly what I was looking for when I decided to ditch my bulky wallet. It feels very high quality and is very sleek in design. I have my ID in the front slot, 3 cards and some cash in the middle easy access slot, and 1 card and a business card in the back slot. That is just what I transferred over from my wallet, when I travel I will have even less items in this slim cardholder and it will make for a more convenient travel experience.

So, let me start by saying I only carry two cards (Id & credit card) only carry cash when it is given to me which is rare. But this wallet is perfect for me, it's small, and I love the x-pac material. I know it says 4-6, but trust me 4 is the max. the pull tab is in a great location and you don't have to move any cards to get to it. No lie I have put this wallet in my front pocket(because who puts there wallet in there back pocket) walked around my house for like 10 minutes did the phone, wallet, and keys check and thought I dropped it some where because I could not feel it in my pocket. That is a win for me.

I am a big fan of Alpaka’s products. I have been using the Zip Pouch Pro as a wallet, and it works well, but I wanted something more compact and lightweight. I switch out wallets and cardholders often and this is one of the best. It has a main slot that easily holds 3 cards. This slot has a vinyl strap that you can pull to easily get the cards out of the slot. There are also slots on either side of the cardholder that can hold 2 more cards each or cash can easily slide into them. I’m holding 5 cards and a few bills in mine. This is perfect for me!

Was looking for a compact front-pocket wallet to carry essentials cards. This seems to be well-made. Can't speak to durability - will depend how it holds up after using for a period of time. It says it holds 6 cards. To me, 6 cards fit very tight. Maybe the wallet will break in over a period. The center slot has a pull tab that makes it easier to get your cards out. But my main purpose was to have a wallet without a lot of bulk to it and this suits that need. If you need room for 6 or more cards, they have other options that are larger.

I think this is a superb card holder from Alpaka which I've been using for my work ID and a few other cards. It feels very well made and the card holder is durable with a water repellant finish. The stand out feature for me is the magnetic attachment which works perfectly and is really clever - you can pull on the card holder as much as you want and it won't detach from the clasp but as soon as you grab the pull tab it detaches quickly and easily for rapid access. The clip it attaches to is sturdy and it fits through a molle loop which is how I've mounted it. The only thing I'm keeping an eye on is how the D-ring attaches to the card holder - if you pulled it hard enough I think the card holder would rip/tear. At the moment it's fine but could be a weak point going forward looking at other reviews. I'll update the review if this becomes an issue.

Great product for it's purpose
