It doesn't take a trip to the museum to experience these backdated behemoths. It's hard to fathom how in an ultra-fast tech age where everything evolves faster than lightning, men’s wallets sat unchanged for millennia. I cannot think of anything else that's so widely used and yet so deeply neglected. There was hardly any effort on the part of manufacturers to introduce new user-friendly features to the design or ambition to make it more fashionable. Men's wallet remained forsaken and it was what it was until the spring of 2014.
The shift in men's wallet design has been nothing short of dramatic. It's been so sudden that many are still unaware of the benefits of these modern wallets.

All RFID Wallets Are Not Created Equally

We tested a number of anti-theft slim wallets with RFID blocking. Reputed brands like GRID and Apple offered some of the strongest signal blocking. Slim metal wallets seemed to have the best protection because of the metal casing. Cards inside these metal wallets were unreadable even when placed directly on top of a card reader.
