Umbra Metallic Bungee Cord Card Case, Red

I have enjoyed this item, easy to keep cards in 1 place

I bought one of these at a big box retailer years and years ago and was so disappointed when the elastic that holds the end cap finally wore out. (It had been well over a decade - definitely got my $$ worth.) I was lamenting to a friend about my poor dead little card holder and he suggested Amazon - OF COURSE!! So excited to have this back - it's perfect in a bag or right in your pocket (not going to bend, crush, damage ANYTHING in there, trust me). It's slim but big enough for 5 or 6 cards, and certainly keeps them protected. I bought two - one for me and one for the friend that suggested Amazon... He deserves a reward!

If you are looking for an easy access card case that lacks the bulk of other cases, I would give this a try.There haven't been many things I've owned in the last ten years that I used every day, that I felt owed me nothing when they called it quits.I purchased this to replace the first one I owned when the bungee elastic snapped- after 7 years of daily use.The case opens at one end as shown in the picture. The bands stretch and you flip the cap out of the way.The metal housing itself is extremely durable, and weathers all forms of abuse without looking shabby.Because it is thin, it will only hold 8-10 credit card sized cards. This will depend on the thickness of the cards, a credit card versus something like a membership card. It fits into any pocket easily, and if in a back pocket consider it crush proof.After 7 or so years of owning the first one there are a few things that I noticed.Some people will ask you what it is and where you bought it.I have never had it open on it's own. Anytime I have dropped cards, it took a major effort on my part.I only keep cards in it. Folded bills were difficult to fish out ( I dislike money clips, but search on Thumbsquare if you're looking for one ) and the sound of change banging around inside a metal container was too much for me.You end up keeping it in the pocket that doesn't have your keys or other metal in it. Unless you like the sound of scraping and clanging.When you check your pockets, you can mistake it for your cell phone. Somewhere there's an orphan smart phone I left behind because I thought I had it when I patted myself down and felt this case.I bought two in case they aren't making them if the cord on my new one breaks in 7 years.

Great wallet been using these for over aroumd 10 years now i think this is my 3rd one . Eventually the bungee will braek or get too stretched out to hold the end on tighly. They used to cost aroumd 4-5 dollars each so...the price has nearly doubled....Best part is when i have accidentally left it anywhere llike on a shelf at a store...its always right where i left it ..people domt recognize it as a wallet ...i sort of love that! It fits perfectly in a back pocket...if you have em...AND breast pocket IN my northface jacketsalso fits perfectly in a small flip top camera case with wrist loop....which means my purse can stay in the car. ..

I used to be able to find these under $10, so to pay almost $20 felt like a lot BUT I like the design so much I'd do it again if I had to. Scratch resistant, can take a hefty beating, and the elastic is so secure that it's literally impossible for the cards to fall out. I have looked at dozens of minimalist wallets but this design by far is the best, in my opinion. It does not store cash, so if that's a feature you're looking for then this isn't the product for you. But if you want something just for cards and perhaps a key, this is absolutely the way to go. My favorite part: it's not immediately obvious by looking at it that it contains plastic money - if you're like me and sometimes leave things laying on counters in stores and have to go back for it, there's a good chance nobody will even take notice of it while you're gone - awesome safety feature:)

Simple design. Decent quality.I had a Ridge wallet made of metal. The two metal sides held together with elastic bands caused wear to my credit cards. And dust or dirt would get inside.With the Umbra design your cards are inside an enclosed container. No wear. No dust or dirt inside.I like it a lot. I have two. One for my credit cards. One for my license and other cards.Only improvement I could suggest would be to make them truly waterproof. They seem to protect my cards from moisture, but not sure I’d feel safe dropping it in the pool.Overall very highly recommended.

This is the most PERFECT container for credit cards. The lid is attached securely with a mini bungee cord. I added the little clip to my husband's so he can clip it to the edge of his pocket... things even bills, sometimes slip out without his realizing it.My husband lost :-( the one he had for 6 years... Which was just as sturdy as the day he bought it.Mine fits perfectly in the outside pocket of my wallet. I have all my cards and license in it and don't have too dig them out of slots from inside the wallet. Plus, by holding it on my hand provides a security reminder until I get my card back.
