- Hi, it's Parris from Epic Review Guys,
and if you've been watching this channel for a while
you know I'm on the search for a better wallet than the one
I currently have that's all worn out and needs replacing.
This is the Allett. The latest contender
is the As Seen on TV Wonder Wallet.
This wallet is supposed to be able to hold
24 cards or credit cards and really big money.
Let me show you just how big.
♫ Epic Review Guys ♫
- The Wonder Wallet is supposed to let
you take everything from your bulky,
oversize wallet and fit it into this very thin format wallet
so it can easily fit into your pocket, into your purse.
It has RFID protection so that all your 24 credit cards
that you may have in here, when the wallet is closed,
people can't walk by and scan the chips in those cards.
You can get this in black, tan, and red,
and it goes for 19 dollars and 95 cents.
I'll put a link to it right below this video.
Now when I look at the Wonder Wallet,
I do wonder, is this really gonna fit in my pocket?
Because this is actually pretty
substantial size this way, so even though
you may take your wallet's that's stuffed full
and is kind of fat, this one if you're trying to wear
skinny jeans or something, which I'm not,
you might have a challenge getting this
to actually fit in your pocket
without part of it sticking up.
I will test this out shortly with
the jeans that I am wearing both in the front pocket
where I keep my wallet and in the back pocket
where I know some people keep theirs,
which makes an issue why they always sorta sit like this.
Now, I'm going to see if I can take out
this plastic section so I can get a better sense
of what the wallet is constructed of.
I'm thinking this is just an insert so you could,
when these, 'cause these are sorta like photo album
little slide-y plastic pieces that
credit cards being pulled in and out after
a number of times this could wear out.
So I understand you can replace this center part,
but can we get it out of here? Let's see.
Okay, so that's the photo album
of your dearly beloved credit cards.
Here's the wallet itself, and I'm not sure if you can
see here, this almost looks like aluminum foil.
Am I blinding you there with the reflection?
Really, like aluminum foil, right?
Which is enough to do the job of providing that
RFID protection that they talk about.
So this aluminum portion is basically in here,
not in the external-most part of the wallet,
but that's the part that's going to surround
your credit cards so that should work fine.
One thing, though, that I think is a little silly
is because they've made this to fit all these cards
and to basically stretch out the material in your wallet
so your wallet isn't as fat, the money portion
for your cash is just ridiculously large.
I mean, my money's gonna get lost in there,
or else I need to go out and get some more of it.
It slides way down, and it's far
longer than an individual bill.
You know, unless you're still using
that old Confederate money, that giant-sized paper money.
I'm going to take what's in my Allett right now
and transfer it to the Wonder Wallet.
I've actually got a 20 with my paper money today.
I'm doing well. I have 28 dollars here.
This will have no trouble fitting in.
The problem is just finding it later, I think.
Now, let me take all my cards, load them up into this.
I loaded 12 of my cards in here,
and I ran out of little slots.
I still have more cards left over.
So for 24, I realize they're going to make me
actually slide a second card flipped over
into each of these slots, so there are
actually only 12 slots for cards.
I have filled up the Wonder Wallet.
Turns out I actually have more than 24 cards.
I have some wallet-size photos,
cards for the kids' doctor and dentist,
different things that I kept in this wallet
right in here with the money, and so that's what I did here.
I took those same cards and put them in here
with the money, and I think over time, they're likely to
slosh around in there, but got all the cards in.
I found that with like a paper card, a Home Depot
membership card or something, in along
with a credit card, that fits okay.
Now to get out the card, there's like an eighth of an inch
that the card actually juts out past the plastic,
so you have to pull them both out, and then slide it,
and then you can take out the one card that you want.
But, it does all fit. It is fairly compact.
If I had all of this in a standard wallet,
it really would be much thicker.
The Allett's magic is that this has no thickness.
This is the material that they make sails out of,
and so it's incredibly thin, like paper,
so it doesn't add anything itself,
whereas with this we've got the leather,
a couple layers of that, as well as the aluminum foil.
So now it's time for modeling.
Let me try this in the jeans and see how it looks.
Okay, front right pocket, there we go.
It's not too unsightly. These pants,
fortunately, aren't too tight.
It's down about an inch and a half inside the pocket,
so I don't have to put my hand all the way in the pocket
to reach it to pull it out, actually, which could be
a bad thing with the back pocket 'cause you may not want
someone able to grab it so easily from the back pocket.
Wow. It just fits in the pocket there side to side,
and it's maybe a quarter of an inch down
below the edge of this pocket.
So for me to grab hold of it, I don't have to put my hand
all the way in the pocket, just a couple fingers
to pull it out, but it means it's that easy
for anyone else to pull out of my pocket also.
The next thing is to try sitting down with the Wonder Wallet
in my pocket. Try it in the front pocket.
It's noticeable. It's a lot larger than
the wallet I had, but it's not uncomfortable.
What people have said in the reviews
is true that since the cards have that split in the middle,
it kind of folds around to follow the curve of your leg,
so it's really not that bad in the front.
Let me try it in the back pocket.
Oh, back pocket's another matter.
The corner of it's poking, and there's
too much curvature going on for it to deal with, I think,
so, yeah, this is not, this is not comfortable.
Not having it in the back pocket.
No, definitely not, but if you wear it
in the front pocket, it's manageable.
Well, to be honest, I expected not to like the Wonder Wallet
that much because of this giant size,
but it's really not that bad, and it does
keep it fairly thin, so I'm actually going to try out
this wallet instead of my Allett for a few days
and see how it works taking the credit cards in and out
and see if the money gets lost in that giant money slot.
And it's 20 dollars, not too bad for a leather wallet
with RFID protection if you're worried about that.
Again, there's a link to it down below this video;
however, if you're still watching this video with me,
it turns out it was one of those but wait there's more.
The second wallet free just for
additional shipping and handling,
and I guess I did that because they sent me an additional
Wonder Wallet, which I don't need, so what I'd like to do
is give this away to one of our viewers.
If you're interested in the Wonder Wallet,
just comment down below this video
something about the Wonder Wallet
so I know you're interested in it,
and then the end of the month,
this is January 25, 2016, so on,
30 days, the 31st I'll take a look at the comments
and I'll pick one and get in touch with that person
and notify you that you have won the Wonder Wallet.
If you are under 18, though, you do have to have
your parent's permission because I'll have to
get your address in order to put this in the mail to you.
So the Wonder Wallet is actually one of the better
competitors to my favorite wallet of all time, the Allett.
I'm gonna be giving this a try,
and maybe I'll be done shopping for wallets.
