Bryker HydeSlim Vertical Bifold RFID Blocking Full Grain Leather Wallet for Men, Front Pocket, Bill/Receipt pocket (Slate Gray)

I recently reduced the number of cards (credit & other) that I'm carrying around, and my existing bi-fold with an additional flip-out piece was 1. falling apart and 2. way too much capacity for the amount of things I'm now carrying around. I was originally eyeing the bi-fold side-flip bryker hyde as a duplicate replacement for my wallet (I have two ID cards and liked having two ID windows with my previous wallet), but ultimately realized I don't really use my second ID all that much and any wallet with the second ID window will have an additional flip-out part, which adds thickness. I considered going full-minimalist, but ultimately decided against it and purchased this wallet. I think it's the perfect bridge between a full-on minimalist card carrier and the full-size bi-fold with side flip monster. I've only used the wallet for a couple of days so far, but the construction looks to be quality and the leather looks and feels nice. It has the perfect amount of card slots for me: I have a total of 6 plastic cards, 5 paper business cards, a thicker office access keycard, 2 guitar picks, and ~8 bills and the wallet sits a little less than 3/4 inch tall.A couple of observations I've had after a weekend of use:1. I originally had my debit card in one of the exterior pockets, but i feel like the end of the card that sticks out of the pocket is going to get cracked off eventually if I leave it there. I moved it to an interior pocket. I wouldn't recommend regularly keeping any cards in the two external pockets; I will probably only use them for temporary items like hotel keycards from now on.2. Bills are a little difficult to stuff into the bill pocket. Typical bi-fold designs come with horizontal card orientation and have plenty of end room in the bill pocket; with this wallet's vertical card orientation, it makes that pocket a much more snug fit for bills. Though I think this will get better as the wallet wears in.3. I keep an office access badge in the outside slip pocket (I think it's an RFID badge, and not NFC). I was happy to find that the card reader still picks up my badge through the wallet; I was concerned that it might not work with the RFID protections. I've read access badges use different frequencies than credit card RFID's, and that typically the "RFID blocking" wallets only work on the CC frequencies. I don't know enough about it to comment further, I don't have any RFID CC's but by access badge works through the wallet and that's a good thing for me.Overall, I'd highly recommend this wallet after first weekend of use. I don't anticipate any short-term quality issues, but I will update the review if anything abnormal happens.June 2020 update: a year later still using this wallet with no desire to switch. In fact if this one busts I'd most likely reorder the same one. It's held up well and has the perfect amount of slots for me.

I was looking for a slim wallet that would fit large denomination euro notes. This one fits the bill. The wallet is nicely put together and has 2 quick access credit card slots on the outside. My only negative is the the first credit card slot on the opposite side of ID window. This one is shallower than the other credit card slots so your card sticks out a little bit more than cards in other slots. I currently leave this slot empty since there are enough card slots for me without using this one.2/10/18 - Just came back from 8 day work trip to Italy. The outer card slots came in handy when paying numerous tolls on the Italian Autostrada. The card readers on the Autostrada did not do too well with metal credit cards, so I carried two plastic credit cards on the outside card slots and easily whipped them out without opening the wallet. In the dark of night, it was all done by feel. Very nice design. The wallet held up very well in my front pocket of Docker pants and all cards stayed in their place. Nice wallet!

Wallet served me well for four years, then started falling apart on the fifth, with multiple seams and stitching coming apart and some of the thinner parts of the leather separating.Good choice if you're intending to replace it after four years. Probably won't hold up well to heavy use. The external part of the wallet is nice leather at least. However they cut corners in other places unfortunately.

Well made. Shipped in nice box with extra protective pouch - great for gift giving. Very thin and compact. Holds a lot of credit cards and ID cards.

I'm a Bryker Hyde fan, I own several models and I've gifted several to my family. I wanted a more compact front pocket wallet with good card capacity, ID window and full size bill compartment. I purchased the Bryker Hyde Slim Vertical Bifold Wallet several months ago and I loved it - checked all the boxes and the two tone black and orange was a huge bonus. There are 3 card sleeves on the left inside of the wallet (where the logo is), opposite the ID window. I placed two cards in the outer sleeves and a 3rd card underneath. Unfortunately the 3rd card was a metal amex card which eventually ripped through the inner lining allowing the cards to move freely from one side of the sleeve to the other (i.e., the metal Amex started falling out of the wallet as I removed it from my pocket). I can still use it with caution but it's just a matter of time before I lose a card or two so I replaced it with another brand with similar style that seems to be working well. Just wish the Bryker Hyde had held up, I love the style, design and especially their mission. All three of the other BH models I have are holding up well but the black and orange was my favorite while it lasted.

Wanted a little smaller wallet and this accomplished that. Cards go in 90 degs to most wallets that makes it a bit smaller but has plenty of capacity. The outside pockets are handy for a card you might be using multiple times in a day or one for a specific use that you don't normally carry. Seems pretty well made but will see over time. Bought the gray one for a little change.

Great quality. Husband has carried it for years, even survived a wash cycle.

This is a great little wallet, I love the ease of access of the two cards in the front, and the pull tab at the back makes it so much easier to pull out those rarely used cards when you need them. I wouldn't mind if it were a little wider to give bills a bit of extra space so they aren't easily seen, but they do fit without sticking out. It's worth knowing that the rfid protection doesn't extend to the easy-access card slot at the front, but I just make sure that one faces my body in my pocket if I'm worried about it. Overall very pleased.

Pros:Lots of space for cards (I'm holding 12 currently and I think I could get 2 more in)Feels like it's well made - durableHas a quick release tab for cards (amazing feature)A quick access card slot (I use it for my transit pass)Has a bills sectionCons:It's slightly bigger than I prefer. It's about 1-2 cm wider than my phone (not the end of the world and a trade off for the space)

Slim wallet but cards are hard to get out from the two outside slots.
