XSTO Aluminum Wallet - Desert Sand

Top tier EDC WALLET

Looks odd but works Great

I had order an Ekster wallet along with the Ohsnap wallet along with the XSTO. XSTO is the one I will carry and keep. Big advantage of the XSTO is keep cash and receipts in the compartment behind the cards and not on a money clip or band on the outside. Having the compartment behind the cards does take up space but there is only one side to the wallet unlike my Ridge "knockoff", the Ekster and the Ohsnap. With having only one side the thickness is reduced and it is just as thin or thinner than the other wallets I have tried. The back "business card holder" works great for items I always need but almost never use. I put my driver's licenses, medical and dental insurance cards that location. My medical and dental insurance cards a very thin and do not fit into the card holder area of any of the other wallets. Plus my dental card is now just a printed piece of paper. The business card holder area keeps these out of the way and keeps them from getting damaged. The only drawback is knowing the size of the wallet to get. It is not as hard as I thought it would be because it seems to work well with the number of cards plus or minus 1 card. So the 8 card will work with 9 to 7 of my cards without having any issues. I would error towards more cards and worst case carry and extra card, tool card or tracker card if you need to take up space. The wallet seems thinner in person than when you look at them online so it will still be really thing and much lighter than others. Accessing the cards. I had a Ridge knockoff and I had issues with getting access to cards I did not use as much. With that over time the push them out and fan the cards worked pretty well over time but inserting that is easier with the XSTO and putting the card back in with the XSTO is easier. Fanning the cards on the XSTO seems a little easier along with inserting them back into the stack or even re-inserting the entire stack. You don't have to kind of pry the cards apart. The Ekster and Ohsnap presented the cards nice and getting the front and back cards were easy. Putting cards back into the same sport was harder. I had cards that would sometimes turn a little when I pushed back into the wallet while I had out the card I was using. If you carry paper like current medical insurance cards or you have cash that you don't like just hanging on the side of the wallet the XSTO is the best way to go. If you have more than two cards you access the XSTO is by far the easiest to use. You can slide the cards over easily until you get to the card you want and slide it over and pull it from the back or you can slide the card back to the side you are fanning from just as easy. It is very thin and very light.

Amazing color and exceptional design. Love love love my new wallet. I have gotten so many compliments.
