I have had my Ridge wallet for the last four years and love it, still holding up well. I recently lost my wallet on vacation, and luckily received it back from a kind individual who turned it in. Unfortunately, the Apple Airtag solution from Ridge sucks, and I think this is awesome. Thanks for doing this video!
@user-il6ei7mh5o Glad you got your wallet back, which model did you go with. Just recently received my Damascus ridge with free CF AirTag clip. How has it held up?
Very clean solution. As a Ridge Wallet owner, I've been wanting a find my / air tag option since they came out. Not a fan of Ridges option though. I like it flat and clean for the look. Ridge seemed to just rushed a design.
I have had a Ridge Carbon Fiber Wallet for a while now and for a few years I had a Tile Mate stuck to one side (which is about the same width) with super strong double sided tape and a Dbrand skin on top so it matched
Ordered the drill bits there not the same brand but there Saw Kit 11 PCS, 3/4" - 2-1/2. can you respond really want to get this done. It would look so amazing on the gold version
your solution is definitely better, I was looking for a way to put a airtag in a wallet that I have had for years, but after seeing this, I think i will buy a ridge and convert it like you have
this is exactly what I've been looking for. I don't understand how this isn't painfully obvious to wallet manufacturers like Ridge. Who wants to add 1 cm of bulk thickness to their minimalist wallet? there is plenty of room in the thickness of the sides, as you demonstrate here. so silly
This is actually amazing!! Your DIY is 100% better then their option. Never thought I’d consider punching a hole in my 100$ wallet. Lol Now if only there was a mod that made Ridge Wallets MagSafe compatible?? 🤔🤔🤔
I’ve had the same “As Seen On TV” card holder and money clip for over 15 years. I’ve almost changed to another like Ridge a few times. But mine is so simple and I don’t have to fiddle with screws or straps. But I am thinking of drilling a hole somewhere and adding an AirTag on a key ring.
I live in Japan, wallets are a must here with the amounts of cash people normally carry. I have a Bellroy Travel wallet when I need my passport to be there. But on a day to day basis, I carry a Secrid wallet + a separate coin leather wallet from Rudsak (from my hometown of Montreal, Canada). I really want to find a way to get the airtag in my secrid, maybe if someday I can get the Chipolo card.
Loved this video. I use a Ridge Ti, and it has been my number 1 goto for the last few years. I dont have an airtag attached or anything, but saw the add from Ridge a few days ago. Glad to see it on a wallet. Thanks again, and keep the quality videos coming!
I have a question - Does this mod cause the AirTag to lose or inhibit functionality - Meaning, it no longer has the same range or distance or just no longer works as the tag is blocked by the metal
before there was a wallet that was really slow to use, then the cards were just in the jacket pocket which speeded things up and nowadays the cards are just in case when i pay for everything using a mobile phone.
Excellent idea. My ridge wall says titanium. Don’t know if I can drill into it. this is a way better solution. Maybe it’s not really titanium they just market it that way then I can drill it.
This Wallet is very thick as is , the plastic plates are as thick as 3 cards and there are 2 plates and you added a third one , I get the idea but just makes it thicker
I use an old school portemonnaie, like the real deal. Because I never understood where you guys store your coins. Not sure about coins in the US but in the EU, especially Germany people still use cash a lot and that means coins flipping around.
I like it DIY way better. But you know when they update the AirTag, it will have different dimensions. So in the long run, probably have to buy a new wallet and do it all over again. Just my opinion
Amazing work. Although you could have just used a credit card shaped Tile or Chipolo. Apple Airtags are so overrated. Instead of Apple adjusting and making a credit card shape version of the Airtag, it's the Wallet manufacturers who adjust and make ugly versions of their perfectly good wallets just to accommodate an airtag.
3M tape drives me crazy about all these accessories. Make a magnet that’s strong enough to have to put a bit of effort to take off but not cause any interference.
“I won, that’s my channel” I loved it! Haha 😂 and in my opinion you did, also because it is your comment section. Haha 😛
Just bought a ridge wallet, it came in yesterday and within 24 hours did this mod and am loving it! Thanks for the inspiration!!
DIY for sure, I like that most of the airtag is internal & doesn't bulge out so much.
I wish you made wallets like for sale I’d 100% buy it
DIY all the way!
DIY one seems way more sleek and also useful.

@iphonedo what size hole drills did you use for to drill on each piece of the wallet?
Very clean solution. As a Ridge Wallet owner, I've been wanting a find my / air tag option since they came out. Not a fan of Ridges option though. I like it flat and clean for the look. Ridge seemed to just rushed a design.
apple probably wants some of the revenue…
I would like to see how both work for AirTag range. If the ridge solution is Carbon it will block signal.
Tremendous idea. I’ll be butchering an older Ridge at the weekend to try this. Cheers buddy
What size hole saws did you use?
Definitely should’ve mentioned that
for sure , yours is better, good idea man, it should post where top buy the back plate so we can do it too
what diameter hole saw did you use?
the DIY definitely wins. @Ridge Wallet take notes, the next version should be like Iphonedo's.
Is it possible to install the ridge air tag holder on the other side same face.. by the slot where you push the cards out
I have had a Ridge Carbon Fiber Wallet for a while now and for a few years I had a Tile Mate stuck to one side (which is about the same width) with super strong double sided tape and a Dbrand skin on top so it matched
These days, people know how to talk, but only a few know how to DIY. Thank you for your vid, I really enjoyed watching your DIY project. I like it..
whats that plate you used under the panel, I have the 18k gold wallet and I want to do the DIY!

Will it still work if you plasti dip the air tag??? ive seen people recreate carbon fiber with plasti dip
This is actually amazing!! Your DIY is 100% better then their option. Never thought I’d consider punching a hole in my 100$ wallet. Lol Now if only there was a mod that made Ridge Wallets MagSafe compatible?? 🤔🤔🤔
DIY'it! buy a magsafe case and move the magnets to the inside of the wallet!

Which brand?
@@joshs3916 “As Seen On TV” is the brand. It might now be call the “Slim Clip”.
@@joshs3916 I just looked it up. They’re now $5US.
@@LaithGraham Thanks for the info 😃
Can you provide more pics of your DIY?
It's a great idea!

I really want to find a way to get the airtag in my secrid, maybe if someday I can get the Chipolo card.
I think if they would or made the air tag as part of the money clip or part or the band then it would of been a better design and cleaner
Just came across your channel. Great reviews. Love that you are modifying The Ridge, you don’t see it that often.
Is there any chance you could test if RFID is useless now? I would love to do something similar but want to keep RFID.
my thoughts exactly.
I'm looking for an American to help take a video of the unboxing, it's a wallet with an airtag slot, are you interested?
Awesome DIY! My question is did could you list the parts that you bought from Ridge? The DIY lqqks so S3XY!
Can you link that aluminum spacer you used?
A great idea sir!! Thinking of doing this to my Aviator wallet. What size of hole saw did you use?
The picks sokd it to me!!! Kudos for you!!
Does that compromise the RFID protection?
Great job! I am wondering what if you disassembled the AirTag? so maybe you could hide inside the wallet without doing many handcrafts?
Since those wallets are RFID blockers probably it wouldn't work.

why did you have to drill a hole for the cavity tray as well?

Faruk abi cüzdani cok güzel yapmisin. Aynisini senden satin alsam olur mu?
I'll just get a folio case for smartphone. You get case and wallet in one and trackable as well with phone.
I would buy a wallet like that! I love the small wallets but still want to put an airtag in them
Awesome work! However, it's only a matter of time before Ridge copies your idea and begins manufacturing their wallets with the same void.
Tom, I still have my Original before it was Branded, close to 10 years old, I going your way 100%
This Wallet is very thick as is , the plastic plates are as thick as 3 cards and there are 2 plates and you added a third one , I get the idea but just makes it thicker
Where do i get tue cavity thing you cut out i did this and now it wont sit flush when closed
If Apple had an AirTag in the shape of a credit card which I’m sure they’re capable of producing. We wouldn’t need this. It is very cool though
DJ khaled “all I do is win win win” fo sho
Thanks for the idea lad.
Does anyone know where you can find the cavity plate?
On their site, they call it the “cavity tray”
They can make molded outside cover to embrace tag! And avoid that hidious ad-on peace!
everyone puts the airtags wrong. its supposed to be white side out. I tested both with a db meter and white out is louder
putting a hole in the wallet doesn't ruin rfid blocking. You just need an aluminium (yes I speak english) sheet to block rfid.
Check out the chipolo card, works flawless
What size was hole?
Wow ! I was gonna ask can you drill my ridge wallet lol.
I like your design! so much better indeed :)
Left one, diy ofc
I have a ridge wallet and this idea ( yours) is genius! Anyway you can make another 😁
Why didn’t they just add it it to the money clip or band???
i guess depends on the pocket, i might prefer the bulge one.
haha yours is way better. i just got a Ridge for X-mas. now I want your DYI.
Very ingenius.
Is that wallet available for purchases?
I'm looking for an American to help take a video of the unboxing, it's a wallet with an airtag slot, are you interested?
DIY is lifestyle for us
DIY is looking awesome btw
wtf does it do? what is it for? I get what the ridge wallet is but the round thing your putting on? whats the point of having it?
so you need a whole new wallet when you have to replace the battery lol what a design
Anyone hear me?Iphone 13 review?
Y does he sound like gru
I like the customization videos
Instead I ordered a chipolo one card spot. It’s a card shaped AirTag. No having to modify your wallet.
Bro when you cut carbon fiber never, ever do it at home and always use as mask.
That thing is very dangerous for your health
Came here to say this too! Def need a respirator when cutting carbon fiber.
@@ntnwwnet Yeah, and under water also helps to stop spreading the tiny particles. He should give a warning to all people about this.
Can you sell this on Etsy please
I use an old school portemonnaie, like the real deal. Because I never understood where you guys store your coins. Not sure about coins in the US but in the EU, especially Germany people still use cash a lot and that means coins flipping around.
That AirTag puff is ridiculous on a “minimalist” wallet.
This is more for when you just can’t find your wallet so you don’t waste 5 hours trying to find it
They should make this, I won't buy ridge wallet till they make it like your diy
Definitely DIY!
I have two wallets one with just my bank card and drivers license and the other fuel card and discounts cards.
Yeah yours is way better. My MagSafe wallet does the little I need a wallet to do.
Couldn't you have a card that does this?
I like it DIY way better. But you know when they update the AirTag, it will have different dimensions. So in the long run, probably have to buy a new wallet and do it all over again. Just my opinion
I put my airtag into the wallet's coin part.
Apple needs to make a new AirTag that’s thinner and flat square sides
oo Casey beyciğim.. no "commet section pillow" situation makes me sad a bit.
I would buy a new top plate if they could provide such a solution.
Yours definitely looks better.
Free from Costco Hearing aid dept. Ask for a Kirkland/Rexton fabric hearing aid pouch. You're welcome. :)
faruk beyciğim s22 serisi incelemesi gelirmi acaba sendende bekliyoruz.
Abi nerdesin abi özledikkk lütfen 13 pro max vs s22 ultra yap
Abi ozledik seni öbür kanalada uğra 😅😍
Your diy looks definitely better
On the left
You lost the security feature by putting holes in it... but it works for you 🤷♂️
enhances RFID blocking. 🤦🏻♂️
You need some diy equipment; 3d printer, laser cutting machine, lathe etc. I believe an engineer living inside you 🙂
Amazing work. Although you could have just used a credit card shaped Tile or Chipolo. Apple Airtags are so overrated.

3M tape drives me crazy about all these accessories. Make a magnet that’s strong enough to have to put a bit of effort to take off but not cause any interference.
On their website the images don’t show the 3M tape. This is why I was so puzzled when I unboxed it for the first time in front of the cameras.
I agree, yours was way better.
