Luckily, Bellroy makes an awesome minimalist wallet designed to carry 15+ cards, cash, and coins - it's the Bellroy Card Pocket! In this video, we review the wallet and share why it's one of our favorites!

I have been using this wallet for 6 years and love it. It’s been rained on, run over, left out for days (lost) in backyard. A little leather conditioner and it’s new again. Zipper is great.
It still my favorite as well! 😊
@@TripAstute this wallet is too awesome; definitely more slim/streamlined than my other gusseted card cases, mainly tumi, and one lancaster; I had to check my front pant pocket to see if my wallet is actually there; that's how small the form factor is... before this wallet my most recent purchase was a bottega veneta card case; cut a long story short the Bottega Veneta North American client service associate suggested to me that I should carry their wallet in a bag instead of pant pocket because how the leather could be easily scraped, damaged.
I got mine for Christmas. I absolutely love it. I was using a vaultskin. The smaller design is what caught my eye. Had the vaultskin for a year before the zipper pull broke just in time then got the bellroy card pocket as a gift for Christmas.
Very cool! Glad to hear that you're enjoying your new Bellroy wallet. 👍
I have tried a number of minimalist wallets and none of them did everything I want. If you pay with a note you’re going to get coins as change, especially in the UK. Manufacturers seem to ignore that little fact. I got the card pocket about a month ago and I can’t see me using anything else now. I don’t have a huge amount of notes or coins but what I do have is safe and easy to access. I’ve got around a dozen cards and like you it goes in the front pocket of my jeans and I don’t know it’s there. I’d definitely recommend it
Awesome! It’s definitely a fantastic wallet. Glad to hear that it’s working well for you too. 😊
Thank you for another great video.! I've got to get me one of those.! The size and quality is exactly what I'm looking for in a card holder..by the way whenever you do videos where you give us a glimpse of the cards that you have I always try to figure out which ones that they are because your choice of cards seem to be the best.! At least for your needs.! Lol.! If you haven't already can you do a video on which cards that you currently carry and why you choose them.? I'm always interested to know.! Keep the great videos coming.!
Thanks Marcus! I actually did a "what's in my wallet" video at the end of last year, and sadly, it hasn't changed at all since then. I'll probably do another one at the end of the year, but if you're curious, here's a link to the video: th-cam.com/video/O5xAP4hESV8/w-d-xo.html
This is the wallet I been looking for, for my dad I think is gunna be perfect
Cool! Glad the video was helpful. 😊
I have the old discontinued bellroy very protective wallet which is just like this card wallet and I love it. Which one do you like better this one or the nodus coin wallet you reviewed awhile back?
I like both. It's hard to say which is a better wallet since they are so similar. I do like the extra features of the Nodus. I was thinking of transitioning over to it as soon as Bellroy Card Pocket is worn out, but it still seems to be wearing well (even after four years).
Very cool daily wallet, we have not seen these but it sounds perfect for traveling! Great job sharing the product!
Thanks guys! I owe you an email so we can start planning our collaboration. 😊
Nice review. I just bought a new wallet and wish I would have seen this review first. Can you also do a review on you pocket utility tool attached to your keys? Thanks
Sure! I can definitely add it to the pipeline. It's the Leatherman Style PS -- basically a keychain-sized Leatherman tool that doesn't contain a knife, so it's supposedly safe for air travel. I say "supposedly" since I've heard a lot of people still getting them confiscated at the airport. 😄
Just got one of these today from Amazon. I like it so far
Awesome. Glad you're liking it! 👍
You convinced me...I ordered one! Thanks for the review 😎👌🏻🇨🇦
Awesome. Hope you love it! 👍
Excellent review, now I know I can pack my wallet with more cards safely
Thank you! 😊
Great review ...... thank you for the awesome content !
Thanks! We appreciate the feedback. 😊
Nice video! That's my future wallet. This is only wallet I've found that has side pockets inside wallet to put cards there (in case of going outside let's say at Friday night very useful to don't mix cash and cards)... And also tiny with big space for coins which are in Europe still really needed.
Thanks! It's definitely a great wallet. Though you may want to check out the Nodus Compact Coin wallet too -- it's very similar in design, but it has external pockets and a pocket for coins inside. Here's our review: th-cam.com/video/qH0AoA4SjNM/w-d-xo.html
@@TripAstute Already received mine and after some days of use I can say that this wallet is really good as I expected! Works preety well also with coins! I use wallet as it's supposed to be used - High pouch for coins, cards in the middle and smaller pouch for bills and I can say that this design is genial! I can highly recommend this wallet for people who still needs to carry also some bills and coins... Thanks for your review! 😉
Now that we have the likes of Curve Card, do we need to carry all these cards? I would say at most 4-5...
It's a valid point. Even with mobile payments becoming more popular, I find myself reaching for my physical wallet a lot less than before. 👍
I have an all condition bellroy in orange and inside of it I carry a smaller Tory Burch wallet . Why do I have a Bellroy in orange ? It’s Texas color and it’s also bulky and shiny where I can spot it in my Will leather messenger bag... I lose stuff easily but I also have a Tile tracker .... Bellroy has good quality . Otherwise my boyfriend and I wouldn’t have gotten it .
That makes sense! The orange color definitely helps with locating it. I haven't had a chance to see the All-Conditions in-person, but it looks really cool. It seems like a great wallet too when outdoors or visiting humid places. 😎
Just got it . One suggestion. More room for currency bills and fewer credit cards needed.
Good suggestion. It's definitely not optimized for cash carry (other than a few bills). 👍
If you put a card with RFID capabilities all the way in the back, will it be able to be read if you were to tap the back of the wallet on the terminal? For example if you use the card for the metro, bus, or key card?
In theory, it should work. I tried a few times with my metro pass, but it seemed to be inconsistent and dependent on the reader.
Lovely channel! And great tips, we don't have those wide range of credit card bonusses in Europe, although I didn't find them yet.
Thanks! We appreciate the feedback. 😊
i bought this wallet recently and i think it could be the best wallet,i carry 11 cards in the middle and as i have only 1 credit card i can use tap and go without getting the card out,all the other cards are loose with easy access ,i dont carry cash.thank you
Awesome. Glad to hear that the wallet is working well for you. Thanks for sharing! 😊
You’re so beautiful 😍
What is the other wallet you use while travel abroad that you showed in this video?? Would love if you could include the link to that. Thank you so much
No problem. When I'm traveling somewhere where I tend to use more cash, I'll use my Mitchell Money Clip Wallet: tinyurl.com/yyypw5zn
I have the RFID burnt orange travel wallet. Used it now for about 3 or 4 trips. While it’s nice quality, and I like the concept, it hasn’t been very practical. You have to almost completely unfold the wallet to take out your passport and it’s a big wallet. It attacts a lot of attention (which you don’t want while traveling). Open it measures almost 12in (300mm). Also it get’s very bulky when carrying multiple currencies. You can sometimes organize currency end to end like the Euro but it becomes difficult with US dollars since the dollar is almost 3mm longer than the wallet while folded.
Yeah, the Travel Wallet is a bit too bulky for me too. I much prefer the compact size of the Card Pocket wallet. 😊
Are you still using this as your wallet? I have a caramel color one and was thinking to get another color, what do you suggest?
I am still using mine. I have the blue color one as well, though I still prefer the caramel color. They also have a new white and tan color as well. If I had to buy one again, I think I would still get the caramel color, but the tan one looks nice too. 😎
@@TripAstute Do you think the tan is supposed to patina similarly to the caramel?
It's hard to say since I haven't seen one in person. It does look a lot lighter than the caramel, so I would expect it to darken a bit, perhaps more brown than orange too.
Wow, your wallet is in great shape. It looks new! Mine has a lot of patina, but I've had it for about 3 years. 😊
@@TripAstute I take care of my things and don't abuse them :)
Hi Ernest, it seems like the blue color you have is not longer available, only black and caramel.
Yeah, I think that must be a fairly recent change. A friend of mine got the blue one a few months ago, so it's sad to see the color removed from the lineup. 😕
I have mine in blue. The more I use it, the more it shows the quality of the leather. I would love to have their bags too! And btw what’s the backpack that you showed and used as a suggestion for the zipper?
Very cool! I love the blue color too. It's very unique!
The bag I was showing is the WaterField Staad backpack. It's not my go-to bag for travel, but I've used it for years as my work/professional backpack, and absolutely love it. 😊
Coool! Thanks man!
The wallet I use is made by Secrid which is RFID protected. However I carry minimal cash so it’s great for me. But! Sometimes you just want something a little different. I may check out the belroy just to have a different style.
I'll have to check out Secrid! I haven't heard of them, but I'm always looking for new wallets that might be a good fit for travelers and credit card points collectors. Thanks for the tip! 👍
Nice review of a very good looking wallet. How would you say this compares to the Waterfield Finn wallet? They look very similar and cost the same. Thanks!
Thanks! I honestly like both wallets. The Bellroy is more compact, which I like. The WaterField is overall a better quality wallet. The leather and zippers are much better. The leather is thicker, and the wallet accommodates bi-folded cash, which can also be a deciding factor.
If I was looking to purchase a new wallet, I would probably lean toward the WaterField Finn Access Wallet. Though I have two Bellroy Card Pocket wallets, so I'll probably use them as long as they last (which has been already 3+ years). 😊
Trip Astute Thank you!
feels like THE wallet for me..
why did you choose this wallet over the other once you mentioned in the video?
I really don't know if its worth the extra money, if you would order a new wallet from Bellroy which one would you choose?
Do you mean the Humn wallet? I found it to be a bit too rigid and hard, which meant that it tended to wear out my pockets and show through the fabric in my front pocket. I've also used a Mitchell Money Clip Wallet. I really like the wallet, but it's a better cash wallet, and since I carry a lot of credit cards, I found that the leather pockets would stretch.
I still think that the Card Pocket is my favorite wallet in Bellroy's collection (in terms of value). I also like the All-Conditions Wallet, but I prefer the Card Pocket since it seems a bit smaller and more classy (i.e., less sporty).
Hope that's helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions. 😊
What is the small billfold you use.
The Mitchel Money Clip wallet is the billfold that I use the most when traveling to places where cash is still the primary payment method. It's an awesome wallet!
What color is that blue one? is it navy? they don't have that color anymore on their website
I checked the order receipt and it lists "blue steel" as the color.
@@TripAstute they don't have that color anymore only navy, I like that kind of shade of blue. Check out Graham 28 (103) zip wallet you might like, bought one.
Do you still use this wallet today? How is it holding up?
To be honest, I'm not using it as much as before. Though mostly because I've slimmed down what I carry to just a few cards. I still have the wallet in my car, and it seems to be holding up well. No tears or zipper failures so far! 👍
actually i think it's more important to have your ID upfront rather than back of card stack. ID is more important than credit cards in case someone has to identify you in case of emergency etc...
Good point! 👍
0:50 that kid is knocked out
So true! 😂
I have a peculiar question, can i put my airpods inside? I only use 3-4 cards with little cash so i don’t have much inside my wallet.
I just tried it and it fits, but it's very tight. To be honest, I would worry about tearing the zipper since it's so tight.
I’m doubting between the card pocket and the All condition pocket.
It’s because of the zipper. But I find the All condition to thick.
What I miss is the individual compartment for the key as they’ve used it in earlier wallet.
Witch do do you prefer? And do you have an idea if bellroy is making a New one?
I haven't heard of any new wallets on the horizon. I personally prefer the simplicity and size of the Card Pocket wallet, but the All-Conditions does seem to be more durable. That being said, I've had my Card Pocket for over three years and had no issues with it.
I wish that Bellroy would release a version of the Card Pocket with upgraded zippers though! That would be my ultimate wallet. 😊
Trip Astute
I've that same preference 😋.
And that with the individual storage for the key. Maybe I need to make a New wallet 😂
And it is not rfid blocking 🤔
Yeah, I've always felt like RFID protection is overhyped, at least in the US. We don't use contactless cards, but I know they are popular in other parts of the world!
Trip Astute bought one. AND I LOVE IT !!! feels very small and compact.
A ‘card holder’ wallet is bound to mess up the cards you put inside, simple because there’s no holder to secure it in place. As the wallet shakes in your pocket or even when you’re taking it out, cards graze against one another and leave scratch marks. Personally, I don’t think it’s a big issue because my cards work fine even after 3 years, however, they do look beaten and abused. It’s worse if you store coins inside as well. Not recommended for fussy people or people with general OCD
That's a good point! I've not had any issues with my cards not working, but they definitely do get scratched up in the wallet. Though it's more like stonewashed scratches. 😉
Why this happens? I mean... the cards are inside with no much room?... I liked this design so much, but I am a bit fussy person...
@@WilmarToro When you remove the cards from the wallet, they will rub against other cards and whatever you have in the wallet. Very small particles like sand and dirt are always in the wallet (more so for wallet which are zip sealed) so after awhile you can expect some scratches on the cards. Compared to normal wallet, each card is separated from one another and there is space between them so no issues. Hope this helps
Is it rfid?
No, the wallet doesn't have any RFID protection built-in.
BTW, what wallet was the one you used to hold the Vietnamese dollars?
It's the Mitchell Money Clip wallet. It's a beautiful wallet, but a bit too bulky for my daily use. It's now become my official cash wallet for travel. 😊
Trip Astute awesome. i currently use the skinny wallet trifold. obviously not as good quality as your wallet, but gets the job done. 😉
This is Vietnamese Dong (VND).
320.000 vnd ~ $13.80 usd 😆
JUST ORDER MINE CANT WAIT MUCHAS GRACIAS
Awesome! Hope you like the wallet. 👍
does this offer rfid protection?
No, there’s no RFID protection on the wallet. Though if you’re looking for a similar wallet with RFID, I would check out the Nodus Compact Coin and WaterField Finn Access Wallet. 🤓
Which was that another wallet you use can you name that wallet sir?
I mentioned the HuMn wallet in this video. I've also used the Mitchell Money Clip Wallet in the past, and it's still my favorite wallet when traveling somewhere that accepts primarily cash.
Nice video sir
Thanks! 😊
About time!!
Ha! Yes, I don't know why I waited so long. I think one of my early videos was on how to carry cash, and I showed the wallet in part of the video. It wasn't a full gear review, and truthfully, it's cringy to watch since it was one of my first videos. 😄
Jinya in Houston recognized. Lol
Ha. Actually, that's Jinya in Toluca Lake, CA. 😉
@@TripAstute ooooo I need to move!!! Lol
RFID blocking wallet?
No, it doesn't block RFID. Though I have to admit that I think RFID blocking is unnecessary (at least in the US). I did a video about it a year ago, and I still feel like it's not a real threat in the US.
@@TripAstute thank you for the reply. Just placed an order using the referral link. Thanks for the review
My old all condition card pocket died after 3 years right after the warranty lol
Wow, I'm surprised! My Card Pocket is still going strong. I think I've had it now for 5 years. The zipper tab is the only place showing a lot of wear.
@@TripAstute basically the zipper broke . I am still liking it. It is their best wallet. I am using their original now but it’s still too bulky and does not age well.
$60 is kinda expensive though :)
Yeah, but for something that I use every day, I honestly don't think it's a bad price. Full-grain leather is definitely a step up from top grain and genuine leather too.
I think my wallet and sunglasses are my two most used personal items, so I feel like they are both worth the cost. 😎
I can definitely see its usage for you. Personally, I don't carry all my cards with me because I don't need to use all of them at the same time, prob 3 to 4 cards. If I need book a ticket/trip, I will mostly likely do at my desk.
I dont use my bellroy travel wallet anymore because of this pocket wallet. This is my daily wallet now for a few bills, coins and 2 cards.
Very cool! It's definitely a handy wallet. 👍
very nice wallet
Yeah, I really like it! It's simple but very functional! 😊
i carry Nomatic wallet
Very nice! I’ll have to get one so I can review it. 👍
Trip Astute thank is that you talking in video
Yes it is! 😊
ok
Trip Astute are you still using that wallet now
i hated folding my cash 3 times...i like it open....
i use cash most of the time...i don't have that much cards..
Yeah, I know a lot of people that feel the same way. It’s definitely a hassle if you use cash often.
$59, you people are smoking crack.
its NOT FULL GRAIN leather, non of bellroy product has full grain leather.
Hmm, their website says they use full-grain and top grain leather:
bellroy.com/journal/the-language-of-leather
need some thing woman can hang on her neck, so when I need hid it from others,
Yeah, I have some friends that swear by neck wallets. There are a lot of them out there. I've had good luck with Zero Grid products, so might be worth checking out their neck wallet too 😊: amzn.to/2CqzSsE
$59.00?? Yikes!
Yeah, it might seem pricey, but it's definitely good quality! Full-grain leather is not cheap, but it's extremely durable and ages well with time.
A wallet is something that I use every day, so I don't mind paying a little extra for the quality. Though that's just me. I don't drive an expensive car, but I used to spend a lot of time stuck in traffic, so go figure! 😄
