a secrid alternative for your front pocket, not your jacket

secrid files the miniwallet under a jacket pocket or a bag in its own wallet guide, and hands the trouser pocket to three thinner models instead.

secrid already sorted its wallets for you

the shop menu splits the range in two: essential carry for 4 to 6 cards, and expanded carry for 4 to 16. the miniwallet sits in the second group, alongside the slimwallet, bandwallet and twinwallet.

in the wallet guide those models are filed under a jacket pocket or a bag. the trouser pocket goes to the three thinnest models in the range, the ones built without leather around the case, and the miniwallet is not among them.

the aluminium case shields your cards, slides them out in one motion and can be repaired years later, and nobody takes that away from secrid. what it costs is the room it takes in a pocket.

our answer

same width, built differently

ours is exactly as wide as theirs, so the cards sit the same way inside. the difference is what sits around them: a payment card is 0.76 mm thick, and our folded wallet is about 4 of those stacked, theirs about 28.

it is one sheet of dupont™ tyvek that we fold and glue by hand, and empty it weighs about as much as a single euro coin. theirs weighs about ten of them.

inside there are 3 card slots and 2 more along the sides, one of which is a strap on the outside. the card you reach for most lives there, so you pay without opening the wallet. notes go in flat, without folding them first.

fair is fair

what secrid does better than we do

the aluminium case keeps cards from bending and shields them, and secrid had that tested at tno and tüv. we leave shielding out on purpose: the chip runs the payment with a one-time token, so a number read off a card is not enough by itself. if you want shielding anyway, an rfid-blocking card between the others does the job.

their wallet can also be repaired. the felt inside the cardprotector is the first part to wear, secrid says so in its own help pages, and a care and repair point fixes it within minutes; a warranty return even comes with a prepaid label. that is a real advantage and there is no point playing it down.

wear

what wears out, on theirs and on ours

ours wears somewhere else. tyvek softens with use and takes on a patina along the folds, because it is a sheet of fibres rather than leather. with normal carry that is a question of years, and in a stuffed wallet pulled open every day the print rubs down sooner.

„it genuinely surprised me how small and thin it is. the material takes getting used to at first, it almost feels like paper." silvia · 4 stars, verified review, judge.me · translated from czech

a year in a pocket

„it's so thin that you don't even feel it in your pocket. it's well constructed, and the colors are vibrant. the construction is pretty precise, but i was still able to fit 10 cards in it."

moreno · verified purchase, judge.me

„what i love is that there are no pointless zips or studs to wreck your pockets. next to other small leather wallets it is about five times smaller, ideal for a pocket."

deciding

how to pick between them

does it have to vanish in a front pocket?

this is where the two part ways, and secrid settles it in its own guide. ours is made for that pocket.

do you carry coins?

neither one has a coin pocket. secrid sells the coinpocket as a separate add-on, ours is made for cards and notes so it stays thin.

repairs, or 26 €?

secrid built a repair network and a wallet you can revive years later. ours costs 26 € and carries 24 months of warranty.

what people ask
where does secrid put the miniwallet in its own guide?

under a jacket pocket or a bag. the trouser pocket is listed for its three thinnest models and the miniwallet is not one of them, and the shop menu files it under expanded carry, 4 to 16 cards.

how many cards does a secrid miniwallet hold?

secrid publishes a maximum of 4 embossed or 6 flat cards in the aluminium cardprotector, plus up to 4 more in the exterior wrap.

how much does a secrid miniwallet cost?

from 69 € on secrid.com for the original leather, with most other finishes at 79 €. ours is 26 €.

what is the real difference between the two?

construction. both are 65 mm wide, but secrid builds around an aluminium case with a mechanism and we fold one sheet of tyvek. thickness, weight, price and repairability all follow from that.
