- SERMAN BRANDS Bifold Wallet for Men - RFID Blocking Full Grain Leather, 12 Card Slots & ID Window, Slim Everyday Carry Billfold, Durable Stitching, Gift for Him

Excellent product with lots of room for all my cards.

This is a beautiful, full-featured leather wallet, which arrives in an attractive gift box rather than in plastic shrinkwrap. It smells great, and cards and cash fit just fine. That's NOT a given with many wallets, where the card slots are barely wide enough for a single card, never mind the two cards I often want to slip in there. This is a full-size wallet and everything really fits. My license fits in the flip-up ID window (there's just one of these, contrary to the "2 ID windows" listed in the product description). My cards fit in the card slots. Cash fits in the front OR back cash slot, and I use the other for things like coffee punch cards and gift cards, as well as my car registration. One of the top features of this wallet is its RFID-blocking ability, so I wanted to test that out. I have a work ID card that opens our exterior doors, so I tried holding the wallet up to the card reader. One time out of four, it worked. I reached out to the company at the e-mail address that came in the box, and they explained that ID cards and credit cards use different RFID frequencies, and their blocking is most effective for the credit card end of the spectrum. I've tested the blocking with credit card readers multiple times, and the blocking never fails with those. Just once in a while with the ID card. If you're worried about cards being scanned surreptitiously, that's worth being aware of, but I'm satisfied that my credit cards are safe. This proved easy to use. The cards slip in and out of the slots reasonably well. The driver license flips up in the ID window! It takes a little effort to pull out, as with any similar plastic card holder, but the thumb hole certainly helps. The real problem isn't just that the staggered cards add a fair amount of bulk to the wallet to begin with (not surprisingly) but the real thickness comes from that flip-up ID window. It adds multiple layers of leather. Much as I love that feature, I wish this were removable, as it is in some wallets. All loaded up, this wallet is very thick, much more so than the wallet it was replacing, even with some of the cards from the old wallet left out. It's now very hard to get out of my pocket when I need to show my ID someone, or to remove one of the cards to insert into an ATM or hold up to a locked door's card reader. That's why I'm giving this gorgeous wallet a 4 out of 5. If you don't mind the extra thickness, or if you don't have much to carry around, this wallet might be fine for you, but I decided it won't work for me longterm.

Great for a regular style wallet with RFID

Pretty nicely made India Leather men's wallet. I was a professional horse rider/breeder for many years, and I am quite familiar with leather. This is marked 'East India made Full Grain Leather' ( I thought cows were sacred there? ) it is certainly real leather, probably cowhide, and real leather will carry the scars the animal went to Cow Heaven with, usually a small blemish here or there. This wallet is no exception, but nothing noticeable. However, at least this particular wallet is clearly chrome tanned, rather than English quality, which is vegetable tanned. While I would never use chrome tan India leather in any horse related activity, ( it tears easily under stress ) it is perfectly suitable for a wallet. India leather is very soft, and easily molded to shape. Of course, it doesn't have the lovely smell of English made leather, it does smell of chemically tanned real, honest, leather. Pleasant enough to handle and carry around. It has 12 credit card pockets, and one clear view plastic one for your drivers license. Two of the cc ones have thumb slots to release them, but only two. The pockets are all very tight out of the box, but I would think the leather will stretch some to accommodate them more easily with time. My current wallet has room for two CC in each pocket, this wallet will never. I found it a little difficult to remove the cards from the back pockets, without the thumb slot. Stitching is good, but the edges are a little rough and wrinkled. The package states 'Advanced RFID Blocking Technology”. But goes on to say, “Effective RFID Blocking: Equipped with gold embroidered lining which “can” block RFID signals”. I don't see anything 'gold' although I can feel a raised embossed widely spaced pattern on the 'inside of the outside' and the 'inside of the inside' bill fold lining. I guess that's what they are talking about? There's not much to it, and certainly not 'embroidered' as described. I want to comment again on the quality of the leather, as it's definitely lower quality chrome tan. When I was testing the wallet with CC insertion, and checking the RFID print, I was handling it with average care, and with any use or folding, it created bright light brown creases in the dark brown finish. However, this did fade away if I just set it down and left it alone. I think it will break in well, and look good. It says it's 'Ultra Slim' AND High Capacity',and also 'Extra Capacity', but I'm not sure you can do both at the same time. It's embossed with the Serman Brands logo on the front, if only my initials were 'SB' that would be GREAT! But alas, they are not. I feel kinda like I would be wearing Calvin Klein underwear...and using my Sermans (thank goodness it's not Seamans!) Brand wallet! While the wallet is a fine quality, I must honestly say, it arrived in a gift box that far outdid the wallet in quality! Got my hopes up high! Super heavy embossed leather look board, with the name and logo subtly embossed on the front, and a most interesting lip a third of the way up the inside to hold the wallet. It was actually difficult to remove Mr SB from the box at all. I think I will add some pictures, as I am not great at describing this. And that's just the box! The wallet itself came wrapped in fancy paper carrying that RFID pattern on it, and sealed with a taped SB logo. Then THAT had a paper board 'strap' with the name and logo AGAIN sealed around the entire thing. They certainly seem proud of their product. If only they had gone with English, veg tan, quality leather, maybe instead of the fancy packaging. Oh well. I was able to put 20 real bills in it, and it kinda closed. Monopoly Money tho!! Those are the length of half the wallet, so i was able to put $15,000 in, because they didn't cover the fold! LOL No money of any kind, real or play, was included. It's a very nice wallet, and has actually come down some in price since I ordered back in February. It's definitely worth FIVE STARS

This full grain leather bifold wallet has become my daily carry companion - finally, genuine quality leather that actually develops character instead of just wearing out! The premium full grain construction using the entire top layer of hide feels substantial and well-made from day one. Initially the leather is naturally firm with snug card slots, but after several months of daily use, it's softened beautifully and molded perfectly to my pocket and carry style. The developing patina adds rich depth and character that makes this wallet uniquely mine. The large capacity organization handles my daily essentials without bulk. Thirteen card slots accommodate credit cards, insurance cards, membership cards, and more with room to spare. The three thumb-access cut-outs are brilliantly practical for quick checkout - I can push out frequently used cards instantly without fumbling through slots. The clear ID window keeps my driver's license visible for quick verification without removal. The dual bill compartments are more useful than expected - I separate actual cash from receipts, keeping bills organized and preventing that crumpled mess that happens when everything gets shoved together. Additional slip pockets provide flexible space for business cards or folded documents. At 4.5" x 3.4", the size fits comfortably in front or back pockets without creating awkward bulges. The proportions feel balanced between capacity and portability. The RFID blocking security provides genuine peace of mind during travel and daily commuting. Electronic pickpocketing protection works silently in the background without interfering with hotel key cards or work badges - I've never experienced access issues with legitimate RFID cards.

I have carried a lot of wallets over the years, and this one made a good first impression right out of the box. The leather feels genuine and has that firmer full grain feel at first, not the soft fake leather feel that starts peeling or looking tired too quickly. After handling it a bit, it already seems like the kind of wallet that should break in nicely and look better with age instead of worse. It gives you a lot of storage without turning into a complete brick. There are plenty of card slots, the layout is easy to use, and the thumb cutouts help when you need to grab a card quickly. The ID window is useful for a driver’s license or work badge, and the dual bill sections are nice if you like keeping cash and receipts separated instead of everything jammed together. The stitching and overall construction look solid. Nothing about it feels flimsy, and the branding is subtle enough that it does not scream for attention. It also comes packaged well enough that I do think it would make a good gift for someone who still appreciates a traditional bifold wallet. As for the downsides, this is not a minimalist wallet. Even though it is not overly bulky for what it holds, it is still a larger bifold and will make more sense for someone who likes extra capacity over a super slim front pocket carry. Overall, I think this is a very good wallet if you want real leather, strong storage capacity, and a more classic everyday carry style. It feels durable, practical, and better made than a lot of cheaper wallets out there. It may not be the best choice for someone who wants ultra slim, but for a traditional bifold with room to actually carry your stuff, this one seems like a solid pick.

I had always wanted to use a full-grain leather wallet, and it makes a difference. Since getting it, it hasn't worn down in the slightest, showing how durable it is. The crisp leather look is timeless as always, and it can hold TONS of cards - more than any other bifold wallet I've owned. I also really like the flip-out ID slot and the ease in which you can pull out the front-slotted cards, which is just a nice quality of life feature. The second bill slot is also nice for holding other small bits: tickets, receipts, cards - just really handy to have. For $35, you really can't go wrong with a full-grain wallet.

The wallet itself is an attractive design, slim and sleek unless you load it with cards. It's a nice supple leather and all of my cards are easy to access. There are two separate pouches for cash and receipts. It claims RFID protection, but I've not had the misfortune to know if this is true. Over all I am happy with the wallet, although I have made it a bit bulky, and should probably remove the cards that I don't often use. Overall a good value for the money.
