ALPAKA Zip Card Pouch - Use as Card Wallet and Coin Pouch - Holds 12-20 Cards and Cash - Made With Axoflux and RFID Blocking Material, Black

I just received the ALPAKA Zip Card Pouch, so I haven't had a chance to test it extensively, but my initial impression is excellent.I've been using a Ridge wallet for a while now and have been finding that even though it is very compact, it feels bulky in my pocket. I also don't like how the cash I'm carrying is very exposed when I pull the wallet out of my pocket and there is a risk of the cash falling out.So I decided to give the ALPAKA Zip Card Pouch a try. I was able to transfer the 10 cards I had in the Ridge wallet and distribute them between the 2 inner pockets. They just barely fit, so any additional cards would need to go in the external pocket or just loose in the main pocket. The cash I carry with me easily fit into the main compartment on the Zip Card Pouch.Even though the Zip Card Pouch has a larger footprint than the Ridge, it feels slimmer than the Ridge and my initial impression is that it's more comfortable in my pocket. My plan is to use the Zip Card Pouch for a few weeks or more and go from there, but I'm very happy with how it feels so far. For travel, the security of having everything enclosed in a zippered compartment is a big plus.Durability is something that can only be evaluated over time, but ALPAKA has used quality material, which should bode well for this.

The wallet has a YKK Zipper and is made with RFID blocking material. I also really like the firm backing of the wallet, does not feel flimsy or cheap. The ripstop nylon definitely feels like this wallet will last a long time.Depending on what you put in it you can place around 12 cards easily between the two internal pockets. The specs say you can do 12-20+, but I feel 6 in each pocket is perfect. While the pockets are tight I do not fear my cards will slide all over the place or fall out. You have a little space inside as well if you have to carry a little bit more. The commuter pocket is great for a card you use all the time when you don't exactly want to fuss with opening the zipper.The good and bad it's a small compact wallet which can help with a minamalistic approach. It's not the biggest so if you're expecting to carry a lot of cash and receipts then this wallet is not for you. If you want a few cards and some cash then this wallet is a great choice. This is my first Alpaka wallet and I look forward to purchasing more items from their company like a bag or a tech organizer for the future.

seems like a sturdy material and so far very comfortable in pocket, ive used trayvax wallets in the past and bifolds before that and so far this feels the best to carry. much less bulk and no hard materials plus will help with less wear and tear on cards since they are completely enclosed. very impressed so far and looking forward to a long time of use.

If you’re in the market for a highly durable wallet with a zipper, look no further. After reading numerous reviews about the quality of ALPAKA products, I can confirm they live up to the hype. I wanted a reasonably priced wallet that also had RFID protection, and this wallet met all my criteria. It's about the size of a trifold wallet, fitting comfortably in either your front or back pocket. I only carry credit cards and my driver's license, and I was able to fit nine credit cards in it without any issues. It remained easy to zip closed and wasn’t bulky. Thanks to its excellent value and durability, ALPAKA has become my go-to wallet brand.

So far I've bought 3 Alpaka wallets/pouches. All three have lasted a very long time! The hold a lot too. I carry around 12-14 cards, not all are credit cards and they all hold great. For this pouch I can tell you, I carry 12-14 cards, 10 bills, a small thin phone stand, an Apple Air Tag and a small thin notebook. It's a bit tight cause of the air tag but the zipper has no problem closing at all. I have both the Black and the Gray colored pouches. Easily can be cleaned when needed with a wet wipe and color holds great. Highly recommend these pouches/wallets.
