Bellroy Card Pocket (Small Leather Zipper Card Holder Wallet, Holds 4-15 Cards, Coin Pouch, Folded Note Storage)

Was using an elastic band that had a pen holder made by Naolab for years. Was perfect. But like all elastic bands, they eventually go bad. Couldnt find anything similar. Unfortunately when I looked to buy another, their website is gone.Other elastic bands on the market are sewn in a way that all the extra fabric is on the inside of the band creating unnecessary bulk.So in my search for a wallet this, bellroy fit the bill perfectly. It’s small and compact. No extra material hanging out within the wallet to create extra bulk. The leather seems thin, but again this works for me as I don’t like the bulk of traditional thick leather wallets, making this wallet nice and thin in the pocket. I only ever carry 5-6 cards and this works great for that. Has two side sleeves that work perfect for holding a few folded bills. Too small for a fisher pen but found a smaller sized pen that fits. The zipper is smooth and i like the L zip style as it opens up enough to get anything you need, but also prevents things from falling out compared to a full zip wallet.I hope this wallet from bellroy never gets discontinued. Totally recommend for those who like minimal wallets

This wallet is the final step in the evolution of what I need in a wallet. I started as a kid with a standard billfold in my back pant pocket. The wallet just before this one was a slightly larger than credit card-sized non-woven fabric container with only a top zip.My return to a wallet made of leather and the length of the zipper (more than just one edge) are the two qualities I like most. I can get to what I need. The depth of the wallet is somewhat flexible, but is still small enough to force me to limit what I carry. That moderated size looks good in my front left pant pocket.

I love Bellroy wallets, this may be my third one. First time getting the blue which I get many compliments for. It’s great for minimalist and is a true pocket wallet. My last Bellroy wallet lasted me well over 5 years and that is with everyday use. The quality is well worth it!

So I really like this wallet. It is great looking and holds 7-8 cards pretty easily. I store 4 CCs on the easy side and this side works perfectly. The less easy side is a pain in the butt. After a year, I still have to pull all four cards out and even then it is not easy. The second issue is if you store cash in the center and I do, some times it gets caught in the zipper. This becomes a nightmare and usually puts a big hurting on the bills. So you really cannot put cash in without thinking.

Perfect size for pocket, holds many cards. Good quality.

I like the fact that it is made with real leather with a good quality zipper.Great little front pocket wallet that fits the perfect amount of cards, cash and ID for a night out. Cash has to be folded to fit. But not an issue for me.

So, the materials, stitching, zipper, & interior lining are very well crafted and beautifully done. HOWEVER, the dimension of the inner compartment is just shy of being able to fit US bills folded in half without rubbing against the zipper while being zipped close. Sure you could fold the bills smaller, but it is so close to fitting that it’s infuriating that it doesn’t fit. It would only need to be 1/4” wider so that the zipper doesn’t rub against the bills while closing. For $65 this seems like a big miss.

I bought one of these probably over 10 years ago and used it daily. The zipper just broke so picked out a new one. The size is still perfect. Holds all my cards plus a small wad of cash. Fits nicely in a pocket. I think the leather is not as nice as the old version. I understand sometimes you need to weight cost vs quality. But wish they would offer a step up in the leather so it feels a bit nicer like my old one. Hopefully this one holds up as well as the last.
