What kind of wallet do you use?
I use a long wallet, but when I pack it full of cards, I often find myself wondering, "Hmm, where did they go?" when I need to take them out.
Also, these days there are more and more opportunities to pay with a card instead of carrying cash.
The wallet we will introduce this time is SECRID, an innovative wallet that can store the minimum number of cards necessary and allow you to quickly take them out when needed.
What is SECRID?
Something that occurred to me recently is that the diversity of wallets has greatly expanded.
The background to this is that the opportunities to use coins and paper notes are gradually decreasing, and this trend has been accelerating recently with the spread of IC cards.
While this has increased convenience, it has also increased the risk of damage and crimes such as skimming.
"SECRID" was created to protect users from such card-related risks.
Despite its small and compact appearance, it is highly functional and is a masterpiece that embodies the spirit of craftsmanship, having been made with the user in mind.
Red Dot Design Award winner
"SECRID" is handmade by craftsmen in the Netherlands.
We boast high production quality by consolidating all processes from design to manufacturing in the Netherlands.
Furthermore, when this product was released in 2009, it attracted a great deal of attention from gadget-loving minimalists seeking a new lifestyle, and won the globally prestigious Red Dot Design Award in 2010. Today, SECRID is highly regarded as a minimalist wallet representing the new generation.
Product review
This time I purchased the "SECRID Slim Wallet," a version of the same series with no buttons. Although a wallet with buttons would be more secure, I don't like to go through the hassle of steps, so I chose this version, which can be opened and closed quickly.
The first thing that catches your eye is the pleasant texture of the cover. It's not too hard, and is smooth and soft like sheepskin, making it a book you'll want to touch forever.
It has two pockets, each large enough to hold two credit cards.
It also has a simple billfold that can hold about three bills.
The aluminum case has space for about five credit cards, providing strong protection for your cards.
Convenient card removal function
There is a trigger at the bottom of the aluminum card case, which allows you to quickly remove the cards stored in the card case.
This feels really good.
The trigger feels a little stiff if you put too many cards in, but if you're just inserting or removing about three cards you can pull the trigger smoothly and remove them.
Minimal size that fits in the palm of your hand
The size of this wallet is very compact, 9.5cm long x 6.5cm wide, and it fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. It is about 2cm thick, so it feels like the size of a business card holder.
Either way, it's very compact and easy to take out of your bag, and it doesn't take up much space inside your bag.
The size is just right for holding 5 cards.
The main cash cards and credit cards you use regularly can be stored in the second pocket, while SUICA cards and membership cards can be stored in the aluminum case, making it function as a simple wallet.
The stitching is also very neat and clean.
This kind of attention to detail is important because it allows you to love the product for a long time.
God is in the details.
Don't expect much water resistance
I tried dropping some water on it, but it didn't seem to have any particular coating that made it waterproof or water-repellent.
However, leather is highly absorbent, so even if it gets wet it dries quickly.
So, while you shouldn't have excessive expectations, you also don't need to worry if it gets too wet.
In the first place, leather items are developed by being squeezed like that (laughs), so that's also a fun thing to do.
A wide variety of colors and versions
"SECRID" is available in a wide variety of colors as well as a variety of different versions.

Summary
"SECRID" is a wallet for adults living in a moneyless era.
Now that we live in an age where it is common to not carry cash, it seems that there is a need for these minimalist wallets that can be easily carried around.
I've recently found myself carrying cash less and less, so this wallet could be the perfect solution for me.
Please try it out and see how easy it is to use.
You can pull out cards with a trigger...it's addictive ^^
