The Ridge wallet is a slim RFID-blocking wallet designed to hold up to 12 cards. Cash can be stored via a cash strap or money clip on the outside of the wallet, and the brand offers three AirTag configurations for tracking: an AirTag holder designed to or for $25, or the AirTag carbon add-on holder that attaches outside any Ridge wallet for $40. The Ridge offers durability and functionality while also providing top-notch security and smart capabilities. Although it is a bit pricey, it has a lifetime warranty to keep up with your daily use and a risk-free 99-day trial period. All things considered, a quality, traditional leather-style wallet could easily run you over the $100 mark, too, which makes this long-term investment worth it, in my opinion. I gifted this wallet to my Dad a year before using one myself, and I can confidently say it’s a winner. Prior to gifting him the Ridge, he used several other wallets, including a traditional leather and titanium case style, but none of them fit his needs. My Dad is a shove-everything-into-your-pockets-and-go kind of person, and no wallet could ever keep all his cards, cash, and receipts organized until the Ridge. The minimalist design helps ensure he can put what he really needs into his wallet and makes it easy to access cards and cash when he wants.I initially thought the maneuvering to slide the cards in and out would be annoying, but after a little practice, he said it became second nature and is surprisingly easier than opening and removing cards or cash from a traditional wallet. I agree that there’s a brief learning curve involved, but once you get it down, it’s a non-issue. The practicality, coupled with the RFID technology, numerous color and metal options, and the addable AirTag tracker, makes the Ridge nearly faultless. Although it can get a little chunky when it’s full to the brim with cards (but alas, what wallet doesn’t?). This is a great wallet for small handbags, concert or stadium bags, and going out on the town, too. Current Ridge customers said on the website that they liked the wallet capacity, durability, design, and functionality of the Ridge wallet. The wallet features a 4.8/5 starts online, and 97% of customers said they’d recommend the Ridge wallet to a friend. Several customers said they were repeat purchasers and that their wallets stood the test of time.Ridge Wallet specs: Type: Expandable | Material: Aluminum | RFID blocking | Accessories and add ons available | Several materials and designs | Cash strap or money clip for cash storage | Dimensions: 86 x 54 x 6 mm More
