- In this video I show you the Flipside 4 wallet
with RFID card protection.
(upbeat music)
The Flipside 4 is packaged nicely,
which makes for a great gift.
The literature tells you
how it's best intended to be used,
but you can figure this out yourself.
This wallet is manufactured in the United States,
with a modern-day approach to storing the contents
you'd normally keep in your traditional wallet,
in a clever more secure way.
So, the exterior is a hard clamshell type design.
It's made from a tough textured polymer,
with a deep scratch resistance.
The Flipside 4 has a push button
and flip-over organization for your cash and cards.
In the center section you have RFID shielding plates
protecting up to six cards.
I'm using flat cards to demonstrate,
but it does hold six real embossed bank cards,
which of course would be thicker.
This is where you would have your contactless
payment cards, so that your data
can't be scanned and stolen digitally.
It holds three cards in each of the two pockets,
placing the ones you use the most
at the top for quick access.
They're held with just the right tension.
Flipping over, and you access the cash compartment
and another card pocket.
The card pocket holds one additional card,
ideal for driver's license or an ID card.
This pocket is not intended to be RFID secure.
The cash compartment will hold
up to 10 US notes, folded once.
You can also put business cards,
receipts, coins or anything else that fits here.
For non-US notes like I have here,
you need to double fold them.
This deeper compartment
makes the Flipside 4 very practical.
The case is crush-resistant,
and I like that once I've closed the case,
everything I've put inside is safe,
and can't be lost or damaged.
I feature a few wallets on my channel,
but this is the one I use myself daily.
I've had it for nearly six months,
it lives in my pocket usually with my keys or coins,
but it's got no marks and still looks brand-new.
There is a smarter way to fold bigger notes
so that they fit just right, as you can see here.
(funky music)
For those people that need even more storage,
there is also an external money band.
You can put cash or cards here if you want to.
The Flipside 4 wallet is very intuitive to use.
Cards are easily thumbed forward
to access them quickly at the checkout.
You can flip the spring-loaded case,
and access the cards with just one hand
after a while.
The cards in the RFID secure pockets
are held securely
with the same resistance securing them,
whether there's three or just one card in each pocket.
The outer attachment for external storage
can be removed,
which is how I prefer to use the wallet.
I think it looks better this way,
and is perfect even for a tight jeans front pocket.
The link in the description will take you
to where you can purchase a wallet from Flipside.
I noticed they can frequently be out of stock
for short times.
I remember that I had to wait a few days
to purchase mine.
So if they have it, and in the color that you want,
grab it whilst you can.
Especially if it's for a birthday gift
that needs to arrive on time.
Oh, and if it is a gift for someone else,
don't play with it, you'll want to keep it.
The construction is sturdy,
and feels over-engineered.
The hinges and middle panel are designed to last.
The design, and finished product
gives an impression of quality
that's difficult to express,
but you appreciate immediately
when you start to use the wallet.
Next we'll take a look
at the Flipside Stow attachment.
This is sold separately and comes in black.
This piggyback attachment is held securely,
so you don't need to worry about it coming off.
It gives you a universal storage pocket
for a few extra items.
I wonder whether the friction of the sliding tray
against the body of the wallet
might scratch it over time?
I don't use the Stow attachment personally,
so let me know in the comments
if you can answer that one.
It's designed for coins or keys primarily.
It comes with a handy divider
so that your keys sit correctly.
It will hold up to four regular shaped keys
in two stacks of two.
Here, I've got just two keys which therefore rattle.
I should have stacked them into a single divider
to avoid this.
The Flipside Stow attachment it is also made
from a strong polycarbonate plastic,
and textured to match the finish of the wallet.
With the divider removed you can put coins in here.
It's not for cash, it just won't fit well.
If you’re going to put coins in it,
you're going to compromise your stealth capability
quite a lot! (coins rattle)
Also available, is the Flipside Kick attachment,
which fits in a similar way to this,
and is a really neat way to store
a few extra cards with protection against damage.
Remember the attachments are optional.
I find the wallet has plenty of space
for all that I need, with no attachments.
The dimensions of the Flipside 4 wallet
are four and a quarter inch,
by two and three-quarter inch,
by three-quarter inch,
and it's empty weight is three ounces.
A quick comparison to a regular sized wallet
which has been filled with the same amount
of contents that we had in the Flipside 4,
shows that you have a much compacted
replacement to your regular wallet.
It frees up some pocket space,
it's better organized and it gives you the benefit
of the RFID card protection.
It's compatible with previous
and present clip attachments,
including Flipside Kick attachments,
Flipside Stow, Flipside 3x all-purpose grip,
and the Flipside 2 xt clip.
