Crabby Wallet - Minimalist Wallet -Super Slim - Secure Elastic Construction

What a fabulous wallet - the slimmest on the market for sure! The quality is robust & sturdy, and it keeps its shape when filled with cards & a phone. I would absolutely recommend this wallet to anyone who hates bulk.

So far it's been great. I read many good reviews on amazon.com so I decided to give this minimalist wallet a try. I don't want to carry the wallet and my keys separately so this is perfect for that need. I used the Chums Keychain Wallet before but the zipper of that wallet broke after a few months so hopefully this one lasts longer than that. Material-wise this shouldn't cost $25 but you are paying for the well-thought-out design.

Still in good condition after 2 years. Pretty impressive for nylon bands.

Das Crabby-Wallet ist eine so ungewöhnliche Geldbörse, dass man es erst erklären muss. In das Kartenfach bekommt man bis zu sechs Karten hinein und ist das andere Fach ein paar wenige klein gefaltete Geldscheine und 1-2 Münzen rein. Mehr aber auch nicht. Aber so ist das bei einem Slim-Wallet, ist aber Geschmackssache. Die Geldbörse ist jedoch nicht aus einem festen Material, sondern aus einer Art Stoff, die mich an einen Anschnallgurt erinnert. Ich ziehe einen Stern ab, da die Karten nur zu hälfte verdeckt sind und die Chips freiliegen. RFID Schutz ist somit nicht gegeben, so könnten die Karten größeren Gefahren ausgesetzt sein. Außerdem muss man bei zahlen, immer alle Karten rausnehmen um an die gewünschte Karte zu gelangen. Das hält etwas auf.

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to review this innovative take on the traditional wallet. I'm one of those guys who has carried a bifold wallet in my back pocket since forever. However, I've definitely wanted something a bit more compact for quite some time as I almost exclusively use credit cards to pay for things these days. I found other solutions, like money clips, to be too flashy, had no place to hide "emergency cash", and/or having a propensity to scratch up my credit cards. I saw this item on Kickstarter quite some time ago and it caught my interest; but then in the rush of life just forgot about it until I happened upon it while browsing Amazon. I immediately purchased and have been thoroughly satisfied! I carry around 10 plastic cards (credit cards, driver's license, state bar membership card, etc.), a couple dollar bills, and one "emergency" bill. Everything I need fits into the Crabby Wallet with minimal bulk! The band keeps everything secure and having the ability to quickly attach my car key to the wallet make sure I don't lose anything. While finding the card I'm looking for may take a bit more time than in a traditional wallet, the "quick access" pocket is convenient for my two main go-to cards. The only way I might see improving the product is to add a "quick access" pocket to the opposite side of the product as well, but certainly that's just a personal thought which would likely increase the bulk of the product and not be desirable for everyone. Even if your preference is to maintain a larger wallet, something like this is perfect for traveling, when you need to have means for payment but want to minimize bulk. This is certainly an improvement on the double-looped rubber band solution I've typically used in those instances. I'd highly recommend the product (and have already done so). The quality of the item's construction equals the innovative nature of the concept and the reasonable price makes it a no-brainer deal. That's something that certainly can't be said of many things these days.
