Distil UnionWally 5.0 - No ID Window | RFID Leather Bifold Wallet with Money Clip & MagLock | Slim, Minimalist Billfold (Black)

I've been struggling to find a nice, slim wallet that can sort of "do it all." I've actually been using a thick elastic band as my wallet, which honestly does the job when holding my ID and three cards. However, problems quickly arise when introducing cash or additional cards since that slimness quickly goes away and, as you can imagine, an elastic band won't 100% securely hold everything in one place.After some browsing on Amazon, I found this Distil Union wallet. I was actually looking into Bellroy's Hide and Seek wallet, but this Distil Union one seemed like a better take on the traditional bifold wallet. I was hesitant to get a bigger wallet since the actual materials and folding of the leather makes bifolds thicker by default. Either way, I wanted to give this one a try before jumping to any conclusions.Definitely impressed with its ease of use and even though it's the same shape as a bifold, it still will force you to use what you truly need. The two pull tabs are a nice touch since I actually love wallets with this feature (I used to own a Huskk wallet but that brand does not seem to be around anymore), and the colored tabs is a nice detail. I use the red tab for three debit cards and the black tab for two credit cards. To get them out, it's suggested to squeeze the sides before pulling the tab. However, I found it easier and faster to simply pull the tab, which pushes the cards out. With this method, though, my main concern would be how long the leather will hold up from the cards constantly pushing and rubbing against the leather. I guess time will tell!The laser-cut money clip works nicely. I tested out five U.S. bills and they easily fit as expected. There is also one slot on each side when this wallet is opened, which allows for one card each side. You can probably have two, but it will take space away from the pull-tab slots. I placed my DL in one slot and left the other one open for a quick-access slot for temporary cards (e.g. hotel keys, parking tickets, etc.).The leather is soft and nice to the touch, and all the stitching looks good, especially the double-stitched corners where the most bending and movement will be. This wallet has RFID technology, which isn't the biggest dealbreaker for me since these type of crimes seem to be so uncommon. This is more of a "nice to have" rather than a "need to have."Lastly, the magnets (or their MagLock feature) is also fun to open and click close. The magnets are all placed in the top center, thus, they should not affect credit card strips at all. Most payments nowadays are either from a digital wallet or the chip anyways, thus, credit cards strips are becoming less common. Nonetheless, their website says that their magnets were designed with this in mind. I'd like to believe a wallet company's best interest would be to NOT have magnets ruining their customers' cards! The pull tabs also have small magnets in them, which prevents the little tab from flopping around when the cards are pushed all the way down. All these magnets hold the wallet together, which prevents any cards from coming out accidentally.Overall, this is a great wallet for the money (especially their current 20%-off sale at the time of this review), and while it's not the SLIMMEST wallet out there, this is a nice "in between" for when you want to carry less cards and some cash but also not having a huge brick when placed in pockets.

The media could not be loaded. Let me begin by saying, I have very specific considerations for a wallet - RFID, slim, “adult” looking, holds all of the cards and cash I carry, will NOT allow cards to slip out, no matter how it’s oriented or shaken. I had a slim bifold leather wallet where the card slots were oriented to the center of the wallet when it was closed, so cards could not slip out. That wallet became broken down over years. It still functioned perfectly, but looked a bit lumpy. I then discovered that that company didn’t offer the same wallet any more. Thus began the hunt for a new wallet. I tried two bifold wallets with magnetic closure by another brand and was disappointed by the “magnetic” edges which weren’t strong enough to keep the wallet closed and the cards in it. THIS wallet is perfect. I carry a total of nine cards (DL, credit cards, others) and a small amount of cash. The magnets on this wallet hold it closed WELL! Recently I carried a public transportation metro card in my wallet while traveling. I was able to add it to the inside sleeve, have the magnetic closure still work effortlessly, and leave the card in the sleeve, open the wallet to place it flat on the metro scanner, and it scanned perfectly. (It did not scan if the wallet was closed, because of the RFID blocking material). In short, it holds my usual stuff easily, has some capacity for at least one more card, and the magnetic closure works perfectly on the bifold aspect of the wallet, ensuring cards cannot slip out, no matter the wallet’s orientation or how aggressively it is shaken or dropped. Nice and slim. Well made. Outside sleeves work perfectly and the magnetic closure works perfectly there as well.

I've bought several wallets that contain credit card containers. I used one that wrapped everything in leather a lot but it still felt like a brick in my pocket. I saw adverts for this wallet several times and ignored it because I was convinced the credit card containers was the best alternative. Problem is, my credit cards started falling out of the credit card containers. Suddenly, I'm finding lose credit cards in my pockets, and occasionally picking them up from the floor. This wallet is a double credit card container made of leather instead of metal, it's soft and thin.
