The Grid Wallet Review

Metal, Minimalist, and a Design to Match

The Grid Aluminum Wallet is a minimalist wallet with an attractive design and a variety of customization options available. The first thing to mention the design of the Grid Wallet isn’t exactly unique. It resembles some popular wallet brands already on the market including the likes of the Ridge Wallet and the Bankr Stack Wallet. But that’s not to say the Grid Wallet isn’t good or they simply copied the likes of the brands above. The Grid Wallet is an effective and well-designed wallet in its own right. 

The Grid Wallet is a perfect size for minimalist lovers and those who prefer to carry less. That’s not only down to its lower capacity (up to 12 cards) but the fact it only comes in at 86mm x 54mm x 6mm. The thickness of the wallet will vary based on the number of cards it’s holding. I personally feel 12 is too many as the wallet becomes significantly bulkier and can be felt in the pocket. Somewhere between 4 - 7 seems best in my opinion. When it comes to cash storage the wallet has a durable metal money clip on the back. This can store a good array of banknotes, folded, in an easy to access manner. 

As always with these Ridge wallet clones i’m looking for two things. value for money - are they good value compared to the original? And of course, durablity and quality of materials. In the case of the Grid Wallet its a mixed bag. The price is no better than what you can get through any knock-off Ridge Wallet - nothing suprising there. But also the quality of the materials just isn’t as good. Elastic is overly tight making taking and pulling cards out a struggle and the metal just doesn’t have that high of quality to it for the price.

I also find the positing of the quick access cut out in the metal a bit weird. I understand they’re trying to differentiate themselves from the many simular styles of wallets but having it directly in the middle just isn’t intutive for one handed use. There’s a reason why 90% of these wallets have this cut out off set to the side. It’s not a deal breaker but worth nothing.

Finally, the Grid is not shy about providing a decent amount of variations, in color and design, for you to choose from. Whether you want this in all metal or even carbon fiber, or in a unique color like blue, gold, or grey I’m sure one of the many variants will take your fancy. The Grid Wallet comes in at a price tag between $65.00 - $85.00 (depending on variant). This is competitive to the likes of other metal wallets but still isn’t the cheapest metal wallet on the market.
