I've had one for years, great wallet. But damn bro, you're rough on wallets!
Quoted: It is 2034 ya know. The only thing I really *need* to carry is my DL. My phone can do everything else from act as my AAA card to pay for groceries. |

Something similar, FURID, from Amazon. It has the Airtag holder built into it.
I have to re-tighten the screws like once a year but it's held up. |

How does the actual ridge wallet differ from the $2-$5 copies on aliexpress/wish?
I picked up a half dozen of and aluminum styles of them maybe 5 years ago for the kids and those have been holding up just fine. I didn't think they were even really worth what I paid for them. I can't imagine paying more for them. |

I've had my ridge for 8 or more years and it still looks brand new.

I bought a Temu El-Cheap-O knock off for $5, a year ago. No problems.
For the cost of one Ridge, I can replace my Chyna Ridge twenty times. No begrudging anybody who's wealthy enough for the real McCoy. |

I need a new wallet pretty badly, but I’m broke.
 I’ve been thinking about the magpul Daka since it’s so slim but I’d love a ridge wallet if I could afford it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I really hate the elastic retention. Wearing leather forever, and just too bulky I looked at 2 other types Scudo-USA Groove Life The Scudo is my favorite. It holds 8 cards, folded cash, has a spot if I want to have my CCW or ID visible or not. Groove Life is fidget like. Cards pop up and ready to grab and put back in. The Scudo-USA MAGNETO looks amazing! |

I’m still using a twenty-two year old $40 leather wallet from FM. Looks like new, except that it molded to my cards and ass.
I stopped carrying it there though. Jacket pocket is much better, or front pocket if no jacket. |

With ridge type wallets, what keeps your cards/ID etc from falling out?

Quote HistoryQuoted: With ridge type wallets, what keeps your cards/ID etc from falling out? The tension of the elastic holding the aluminum sides together + the friction of the aluminum on the plastic cards. |

Love my Ridge. I did lose a screw at some point, but I can't imagine how one could get stripped out unless you used a screwdriver on it improperly. Are you saying they were stripped when it was new?
I emailed them about the missing screw, and they sent me a pack of screws for free. I used blue Locktite on the replacement and on them all when I replaced the elastic band. |

A rigid, aluminum wallet that sheds hardware? Seriously?
I carry a 14 year old Bosca...Cognac Executive ID, which holds the minimum necessary without bulging. I have one of their portfolios, too, that regrettably sits on a closet shelf now that I've retired. All their stuff is really nice. They also make weekend and front pocket wallets.

Had my Ridge for about a year now. Removed the screws once to replace the covers with some G10 plates in a flurry of "G10 ALL THE THINGS!!11" and Loc-Tited them down. Haven't messed with them since and the still look fine.
Happy with it, good wallet, does what a wallet needs to do and doesn't ruin my back sitting on it like my old leather one. I wasn't really planning on replacing the old one. Until I lost it. Why did I lose it? Because I sat down somewhere, and felt that lump of leather and useless cards like a rock under my ass. So I took it out of my pocket and set it down next to me. When it was time to go, I forgot all about it and just got up and walked away. That was a fun day cancelling and replacing all those cards that had no reason to be in my wallet in the first place. And that was my clue that I needed to rethink my whole wallet situation. Namely, keep the new one small so I'm not tempted to take it out every time I want to sit down somewhere. I don't know how ya'll are stripping out the screws. You're not really supposed to be messing with them on a regular basis. |

When I looked into them since I needed an RFID blocking wallet, they appeared to all be made in China. The price is way too high for Chinese crap. I bought a Dango wallet made in the US and it's a fine wallet, and cost less than the Ridge.

I’ve had a then $15 amazon knock off since 2018, because I wanted to see if I’d like it before springing for a Ridge.
I never expected it to last this long, but other than surface wear it still functions the same as day 1. |

I want to get a more durable wallet to keep my ID and carry permit from getting hazed over. I have looked at the Ridge and similar brands, but I don't like the money clip, and I usually have a few singles or twos on me.
Are there any durable folding wallets out there? |
