MUTBAK Citadel - RFID Blocking Bifold Wallet Passcase with Full Grain Leather and Flip Up ID (Durango)

Works perfect! I'm able to do all my sneaky stuff on my secret phone without anyone knowing 🙃

My old wallet was a 'name brand' but it only lasted about 2 years. It became TOO broken in. I tend to set my wallet on my truck seat while driving. Twice in one week, after grabbing it from my seat, my license and a credit card had fallen out. Not ideal! Before disaster struck, I had to get a new wallet ASAP. I've become a 'review reader' for almost everything, so I took the net. I read dozens of reviews from many random sites rating wallets by material, price, value, etc. One name was virtually ubiquitous on every site, with sterling reviews. Mutbak! I was sold.As soon as I got my Mutbak, I was immediately struck by the care of packaging. Plastic bag enclosing a sturdy box. Inside the box, another plastic bag enclosing a cool, little linen(?) bag which protects the wallet. Once you get through the packaging, the glorious smell of leather smacks you in the face. This was different than all the previous 'leather' wallets I've owned that maybe had some sort of 'new' scent for a day or two. This was the smell of thick, rich, hearty leather. Ricardo Montalban would have loved it. And I love the color. I got the two-tone Memphis/Durango combo and it looks as rich as it smells.I will say, it will probably take a little bit to break in. While it's pretty supple, it is relatively stiff because of how high-quality the leather is. (plus I have a lot of cards in it) I was very used to my sad, old wallet that had basically turned into lasagna noodles, so it was as loosey-goosey and pliable as jello, causing my contents to slip out without any provocation.I chose this passcase wallet because I carry a decent quantity of cards and Mutbak's Citadel had ample card slots. You don't need to double up important cards in one space making it a hassle to extract the specific card you need while customers behind you glare with contempt. The slots are good and snug so I will no longer have to worry about my contents simply falling out. And, with the RFID-blocking ability, I won't have to worry about shifty characters swiping my info. I never even considered that was a 'thing', but I've never had a wallet with this feature and I've had ~20 bank/credit cards breached in the last 5 years. Maybe that was because of my old, junky, non-RFID-thwarting wallets!I couldn't be happier with my Mutbak. Once it breaks in, it will be perfect. And, a week+ later, this wallet still smells as rich and leathery as when I opened it, to the point where it's acting as a leather air freshener in my truck. It's pretty impressive.

I am in my 40's so I have owned quite a few wallets over the years. Most were mass produced (Dockers, Wilson Leather, Fossil, etc.) and were adequate for what they are used for. This MUTBAK Citadel wallet surpasses them all!It is well made with high quality leather (no imperfections or blemishes), great stitching and overall a beautiful wallet. It smells great too! I don't know about the rest of you, but I LOVE the smell of tanned leather. All my cards, ID's, key cards (more about that) fit in it perfectly. It is initially a tight fit for some. However, after removing, reinserting, removing, reinserting - it breaks in quickly. If you know anything about good quality leather and stitching, a break-in period is to be expected for that leather item to conform and perform the way you want it to. That is the case with this MUTBAK wallet - a short (purposeful) break-in period is needed. This is a top notch, great looking, wallet that any man would love to own!RFID/NFC Blocking Review (for those that care):Now, about the key cards I mentioned earlier (RFID cards for security door entry). The wallet that this MUTBAK replaced did not have RFID/NFC blocking. I have always kept my primary key card for work in my wallet and used it to badge in. When your hands are full, "Butt-Badging" is very convenient (where you keep your key card in your wallet and your wallet is in your back pocket and you lift up and touch the card reader with your back pocket to allow access). If you "Butt-Badge" now, you will not be able to do so after getting this wallet. I found that I had to place my key card in the ID window (behind my drivers license) and pull my wallet out and flip the ID flap out and touch the door badge reader in order to gain entry. No other location would allow the badge reader to read my badge. AND THAT IS A GOOD THING! Whatever the RFID/NFC blocking material that MUTBAK uses is, it WORKS! Side scanning (from the top or bottom of the wallet) down to the key card in one of the many card slots did NOT allow the badge reader to detect my key card. Literally the only way I could keep my key card in my wallet, and still have it usable from within my wallet, was to place the key card in the ID window AND I have to flip it out and expose the window and touch it to the badge reader in order for it to read. This is literally the ONLY area that is not fully protected and you REALLY have to purposely expose that area in order for the card to be read. GREAT RFID/NFC BLOCKING!! +++++
