I bought this in 2020
Holding up well

I've had one for years, great wallet. But damn bro, you're rough on wallets!

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. |

I've had mine for 18 months. If it ever wears out I will buy another.

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.

Quoted: 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. View Quote 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. |

Interesting. Mine is still going strong, though most of the anodizing has worn off.

Wife got me one for Xmas to replace my Magpul…I miss my Magpul

I'll never go back to a folded leather wallet View Quote Yeah, I got the same Trayvax(different color) a few years ago and it's been solid. They even sent one of their cheaper versions for free to give to someone to try it out. |

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

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.

If it’s not stripped they will send the small torx head screws.

No I carry a real man's wallet not one of those faggy hipster wallets.

Lasted around two years
Screws falling out of carbon scales the first two years, elastic worn through in third year |

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? |
