First off, Go Bucks!! I have the same huntington card lol, ridge products are always top notch, just upgraded my almost 8 year old wallet for a new one and love it!
Thanks for the video! I put the cavity tray on the back in the elastic strap so it doesn't take space from the cards and it doesn't get in the way of pushing cards out with the cutout.
They probably also intended for you to put it at the back with the coins not facing the cards. Not sure why they didn't line it with felt or something though to dampen the sound from the metal hitting the sides or sliding around in there.
Very nice video! I was thinking about getting a ridge myself (as it looks very clean and compact), but since I live in a country where we still use coins a lot, and I was wondering if ridge can help with that too. Unfortunately it seems that the tray capacity is rather limitted (which makes sense considering the design), so I think this type of wallet is not for me just yet. Thanks to your video, I was able to get an idea of how much I can fit into it though, so thank you for that!
Glad to help! I love the Ridge wallet; but yea the coin tray is pretty limited. A viewer recommended using it for cash instead of the cash strap. I may try that out sometime and see if I dig that ;)
A see a few issues with this tray. 1) You can keep only a few coins in there, so more than one tray is needed 2) You have to be careful when taking out this tray to not loose your coins, keys.
Yeah, and not sure two trays would even work (maybe, but then it at least gets more bulky)… and yeah dropping and losing things could be a huge bummer. Didn’t think of that. Thanks for the comment!!
I thought the same, but it just occured to me that this can hold any change you'd ever receive in a single transaction, and you could offload it when you got home.
I use a rossm but it is similar to the ridge I see the cavity tray as a more convenient and secure way to carry three or four folded notes so you could then ditch the strap and clip but a lot of people use the clip to attach the wallet to a pocket
Thank you so much for testing out challenge coins!!! I have a close friend of mine’s marine crucible challenge coin from his graduation and was wondering if I should get a ridge wallet to replace my old wallet. Literally cleared up that specific worry appreciate it!
Thanks! I still love the ridge wallet, but yeah the coin tray isn’t gonna work for everyone… That was one of the reasons I wanted to try it out! I was bummed when the bigger ones didn’t fit, but I wasn’t super surprised either. I don’t carry my challenge coins around very often because I’m so afraid I’m gonna lose them lol
I only carry 1 house key on my car's fob, so was excited to put that key in this tray instead. The noise, though. Not sure I could handle hearing that key sliding around.
It does sound like a review. I doubt can double the pound coins up, but maybe the rest you can, and can you double the keys up too? I've ordered one now, so I'll know more soon, but it's coming from the USA so have to wait for delivery. Nice unboxing video 👍
Not a review at all really. Just an unboxing and overview/first impressions. Haven’t used it enough to actually review it. Sorry you didn’t care for the vid but have a good day man :)
They should’ve padded the inside with thin rubber. But it’s really only meant for temporary use so when you’re out you don’t have loose change in your pockets. Not meant to always have change in it.
I have it but don’t use it… I had my fishing license folded up inside it, worked great for that.. but with 6 cards and that… was alittle bulky so I stopped using it. I recently changed my strap as well and watched your video on that .. thanks for the info… I’ve had mine for almost three years now and it’s apart of me .. haha.. also a gift .. I have the carbon profile .. thanks again.
Yeah I get that! Seems the bulkier it gets it starts to defeat the point hah! It’s such a great gift! After many years I still love and use mine everyday (when I’m not testing out a different one lol)
I haven’t tried that nope! That’s a pretty good idea though if you wanted to carry a key there. I bet it would. Wonder if I have any of those laying around…
I was actually comparing this tray vs the one from rossm and the rossm one is actually padded so the coins don’t rattle while they’re in the wallet which I thought was pretty neat. I’m surprised this one from ridge doesn’t feature that?
Rossm is just better than ridge in every way. They're a third of the price, they're as good or better quality of construction, and like you said they have some features that improve upon the ridge.
Yeah those design options were nobish. Who wants to flash dollars around on their wallet. The purpose is to keep it inside, so it doesnt get wet, doesn't fall out, and cant be seen.
I just received my ridge wallet with the coin slot and ordered some Ironsmith coins so this review was spot on, can’t wait to plunder me pirate treasure in to the slot, dirty wallet talk 😂
When I’ve tried the tray I only like about 6 or so cards. Without it I can comfortably carry quite a few more. I think in the video that was around 5 or 6 old gift cards :)
Yeah not keen on the ridge. Seems like they haven't thought through the design too well. Coin thing is silly. I thought it would be a container instead it could easy fall out. I think i will go with another brand. What is important to me is having money not visible ( so inside ) notes and coins
I love the wallet! But yeah, the coin tray I think is just really onlyl going to appeal to a few people. I may try using it for cash, but coins are both noisy and I just don't find carrying them that way useful - personally :)
Thanks! Mine is the titanium gunmetal wallet. It’s 3+ years old now so I’m not sure what finishes are available these days except I know they have more options than they did back then 🙂
@BUCKSGEARBOX I usually carry 2-3 cards and the tray is somewhat slim itself so it' doesn't seem bad at all. My bi-fold was bulkier. It takes some getting used to and doesn't fit alot of bills but the idea is minimal after all.

What a great idea... $15 for a rattle that can only take 7 coins and occupies half of the capacity of the wallet ... :( ... BTW you can buy a knockoff wallet for a little more of the price of that tray🤦🤦
LOL yeah that was my biggest pet peeve. It’s actually a lot better for cash than coins 🙂 But I still don’t use it cause of the space issue. I like my minimalist wallet to be minimal 😂

@@BUCKSGEARBOX I bought a minimalist dupe of the Ridge today for 19€ ... never had one like this, but I think it'll be good for me, since I never use cash... only cards (about 10) and the mobile. We'll see.. but I won't pay 150€ for a wallet that's made probably in the same factory as the one costing 19€
First off, Go Bucks!! I have the same huntington card lol, ridge products are always top notch, just upgraded my almost 8 year old wallet for a new one and love it!
OH! Hah! Yep agree the Ridge is my favorite!
Thank you! I didn't realize the tray went in with the cards, so I was confused how it could work. Great video!
Thanks!!
It was hardly rocket science.
I like the idea of using the tray for challenge coins. I always have a couple on me to trade when I travel. Great video
Thanks!! thinner coins do fit well!
Thanks for the video! I put the cavity tray on the back in the elastic strap so it doesn't take space from the cards and it doesn't get in the way of pushing cards out with the cutout.
That’s a cool idea too! I’ve decided I definitely don’t care for the noise the coins make, but I may use it as a cash pocket!
@@BUCKSGEARBOX how much cash will fit in the tray?
Is it stable this way? Does the elastic not allow for play?
@@NitroCigarette stays pretty stable for me
They probably also intended for you to put it at the back with the coins not facing the cards. Not sure why they didn't line it with felt or something though to dampen the sound from the metal hitting the sides or sliding around in there.
Yeah possibly so. It is lined with a very thin layer of some material but it doesn’t really give much or absorb the sound any.

💡: I have two coin trays one on the bottom and the cards in the middle and one on the top to prevent loosing anything, best way to go.
I thought the same, but it just occured to me that this can hold any change you'd ever receive in a single transaction, and you could offload it when you got home.
@@andresv.8880 I was thinking about that. But this definitely don't work in Japan with the amount of coins per transaction lol
It may say coins & keys, but i use it for rfid tags as long as its slim but my building one is perfect for this.
I use a rossm but it is similar to the ridge I see the cavity tray as a more convenient and secure way to carry three or four folded notes so you could then ditch the strap and clip but a lot of people use the clip to attach the wallet to a pocket
I’ll have to check out the Rossm! And yeah that’s all I’ve used the cavity tray for, just don’t use it very much
I love my Ridge Wallet
Me too!

Yeah, it’s really convenient but I don’t think I’ll be able to ignore that lol. I have not been using it… hah
You can put a bill in the tray it stops it from sliding and making noise
So true cant stand it
You can double up / stack two coins on top so they don’t rattle. I keep a guitar pick In there as well😎
Nice! I especially love the guitar pick idea 🎸🎸🎸
Can you double the quarter and it’ll still fit properly?
I haven’t tried but I don’t think you could. I’ve put some collectible coins in there and if too think they kind of jam it slightly open.
It does sound like a review. I doubt can double the pound coins up, but maybe the rest you can, and can you double the keys up too?
I've ordered one now, so I'll know more soon, but it's coming from the USA so have to wait for delivery. Nice unboxing video 👍

Good thought! There is some padding in there but it’s not quite enough to keep the rattling around from happening 🙂
Thats good place for A larger emergency bill like $100 that you wouldn't want on the outside is a good place to leave it ang forget it
Yep. The times I have used the coin tray have almost always been exactly that. Good call 🙂

What did you end up doing with your fishing license? I'm in the same boat and haven't found a clean solution yet on how to keep it in the wallet.
@@BigNameJamesStuff fold it It in half , stick it in coin tray.. what I do now .
Have you tried using one of those rubber key covers, that cover the wide base of the key to see if it fits and makes keys not move around? Thanks.
I haven’t tried that nope! That’s a pretty good idea though if you wanted to carry a key there. I bet it would. Wonder if I have any of those laying around…

Oh cool I’ll have to check it out.. the ridge one is lightly padded but not enough to keep the coins quiet ha 😂
Rossm is just better than ridge in every way. They're a third of the price, they're as good or better quality of construction, and like you said they have some features that improve upon the ridge.
the cavity is better for dollar bills no strap or money clip
Yup that’s great! The cash tray :)
This is exactly what I plan to use mine as.
Yeah those design options were nobish. Who wants to flash dollars around on their wallet. The purpose is to keep it inside, so it doesnt get wet, doesn't fall out, and cant be seen.
Can you stack two coins on top of each other? Or does it only support one layer of coins?
Possibly dimes but I haven’t tried that. I doubt you could stack any others
Sick review !
Thanks!
I just received my ridge wallet with the coin slot and ordered some Ironsmith coins so this review was spot on, can’t wait to plunder me pirate treasure in to the slot, dirty wallet talk 😂
The Ridge rocks! Good luck with the 🏴☠️
😂
Question, can you fit an AirTag inside this and then put that into the wallet?
Hmm I think the coin tray is too slim for that.
How many cards did you have in there with the tray?
When I’ve tried the tray I only like about 6 or so cards. Without it I can comfortably carry quite a few more. I think in the video that was around 5 or 6 old gift cards :)
I have it, it sucks holds about 5 coins
Yeah, wasn't a fan hah. It does better with folded up cash but I still don't use mine
You ain’t half abused front wallet had mine 2year still looks brand new no marks or damage money strap
Yeah it's still in great shape. Ridge makes good stuff! The elastic is the only thing I've had to replace. (I've had mine for 4-5 years)
Yeah not keen on the ridge. Seems like they haven't thought through the design too well. Coin thing is silly. I thought it would be a container instead it could easy fall out. I think i will go with another brand. What is important to me is having money not visible ( so inside ) notes and coins

Thanks! Mine is the titanium gunmetal wallet. It’s 3+ years old now so I’m not sure what finishes are available these days except I know they have more options than they did back then 🙂
I use the tray to keep my receipts
That's a great idea!
Thanks for the video. A little feedback though. It's about 8 minutes longer than it needs to be.
Thanks! I like to keep unboxings under ten generally but felt like this one needed a little more love :)
I use my tray for bill folds
I gotta try that. But don't usually like adding more bulk to the wallet...
@BUCKSGEARBOX I usually carry 2-3 cards and the tray is somewhat slim itself so it' doesn't seem bad at all. My bi-fold was bulkier. It takes some getting used to and doesn't fit alot of bills but the idea is minimal after all.
I do this too. Got rid of the strap to offset the bulk of the tray.
Good
Thanks!
40 bucks tho 😬 (in Canada) lol

Ridge wallet is way to pricey for being made in China. Ridge doesn't compare to Dango wallets which is made in the USA

Audio recording level is too low to understand what is being said.
Really? Sorry man.
3:30 and this guy keeps talking about the wallet. Review the damn item man

Someone will steal your wallet with your address on your license and your house key right there.
Yeah I definitely don’t use it that way! I don’t really use it anymore anyway. Just adds bulk. From time to time I put some cash in there :)
