Excellent Wallet
Very very happy with the wallet...it's functionality and the design/look...Only thing I think is actually a 1-2 stars (and I wasn't going to ding the entire rating over this), is how either very tight or very loose the ID Holder is...One can not get the ID in and out in a flash regardless of how loose or tight I make the tiny screws which bolt the holder into the wallet.
Other than that, very happy.
Excellent quality
It's a nice sturdy unit. I bought it for my dad who previously used another type of card holder but he kept breaking them, he is a carpenter and is hard on stuff. He doesn't like using a full wallet as its bulky and uncomfortable.
He lost his holder for a week once, and it was in the house but he couldn't find it. I got him the android locator, i like how it attaches with screws, and can detatch. I was putting it together and was like "how the heck am i going to find a mini screwdriver" but they thought of that and put the tiny scredriver in the box! Same with the money clip. He uses the clip more for clipping onto a pocket. That came with a teensy allen key, very handy. I like how we can modify it later if needed, add options, or keep it simple.
He has big fingers and has a hard time grabbing single cards so the fan feature is super handy.
He breaks things in a matter of months so let's see how long this lasts! I think the aluminum core will help.
Also, this shipped super fast, in a world where covid has interrupted shipping like crazy, this came in 2 days on regular shipping! I dunno if its always like that but what a nice surprise!
Incredibly functional...
The search just might be over folks. Finally a minimalist wallet that looks great and could easily be confused with one of Q's tech research project on a bond film.
Great wallet
I ordered mine a few years ago and still use it to this day. It's a perfect minimalistic wallet and I am very happy with it. After all these years it still looks new the only thing that tells you it has some age is that the fantom letters are faded away but the carbon plates, the titanium clip and plastic border and lever still look brand new. I live in Belgium and we still use a lot of coins when paying in cash so the only downside for me personally is that the coin holder could have been a little bit bigger. If it the thickness of the coin part was double the size or for me it may be triple the size the wallet is absolutely perfect. When this one breaks or I lose it I will definitely buy another one without a doubt.
Was skeptical at first
Wasn't sure how a "wallet" could command a $170 price tag (including accessories) without using some sort of rare/exotic materials. Based on the reviews and money back policy, I decided to try the Fantom R with silicone band and money clip. After using it for a while, I have zero regrets. Retail price is on the high side in my opinion, but not overly so. It's a quality product that does exactly what it says.
I've been using a $20 amazon "minimalist" wallet (rubber band style holding two "carbon fiber" plates together) for over a year now. There's no comparison and if the Fantom holds up to daily wear and tear I'm sure I'll upgrade in the future just for the fun of it. While the wallet isn't really minimalist (I'm packing the R13), I prefer that. It's solid, holds what I need it to, and I have no fear of anything falling out. I also have big hands and am required to carry multiple IDs for various reasons, so the R13 is a perfect fit for me.
It's too bad I have to cover it up so much with cash and non-CC format IDs / entry cards as it looks as good as it feels. Job well done!
Awesome!
Great quality and really fast shipping. Thank you FANTOM
Best product ever
Rolls Royce wallet! Look’s super nice, fantastic build and material quality. Amazing customer support and even faster shipping. Would love to buy another one
My husband loves it!
My husband became obsessed with this wallet after he saw one of his clients had it. Got it for him for Father's Day and he was so excited! It's holding up great, works really well and looks super slick!
After sale service
After sale service is very good.
Best. Wallet. Ever.
I took time out of my day to write this review. It may be the best wallet ever. I think this will last me the rest of my life and then some. It has everything I need and I even got the ID holder that works fantastic and keeps my I.D. and cards in place. It's almost like magic how the cards stay in the slot but they will not come out until you want them to. 10/10 recommended to every guy I know that has the old back pocket leather ones.
Perfect product, better service!
The wallet is everything it looks like - beautifully crafted, slim and very functional. It's pretty much perfect.
Over and above that, I wanted to comment on Fantom's service. The original wallet was lost by the Austrian postal service (no fault of Fantom). However, the helpful customer service agent made multiple attempts to reach Austrian post, and finally replaced and resent the wallet to another country at no extra charge - this was truly above and beyond the call of duty, and what you can expect from a first rate customer experience. Buy with confidence!
FANTOM R10
The wooden oak option is built tough & sleek, the wallet keeps my cards safe, these wallets are made to last I'll probably never need to replace it so it makes it well worth it
The clip comes in handy to store notes, business cards or even to secure it in your pocket
R-10
I rarely do a review, but the R-10 deserves one. I bought the carbon fiber w/titanium clip and matching money holder. I use money holder for flimsy paper (vehicle registration, insurance etc). I carry 5-6 cards and cash. I keep big $ in between cards ( it fits snuggly) and smaller $ and receipts under clip. I had to loosen clip tension by gently lifting up on it as it was too tight to use outta the box. I carry in front pocket and barely notice it. Nothing falls out and i ABSOLUTELY love it and would by it again! THANX FANTOM!!! for such a modern, well constructed and versatile wallet ✌
Fantom R Carbon Fiber W/ Red Money Clip
I’ve owned the Fantom R for over 1 year & I still to this day never regret spending the money. I owned the original first model & this was an amazing step in the right direction. I love the look, feel & weight of the wallet. I am very pleased. I look forward to the successor to this wallet. Keep up the amazing work !!
Most Amazing Wallet
I just wanted to drop by and say this is the most amazing wallet that I have ever owned!!! I got the key holder with the money clip and every time I pull it out to make a purchase it gets noticed... at first I was skeptical because of the price, but once I got it I realized that this may be my best purchase of 2021! you guys are amazing and I am sending everyone of my friends your way!
Wallet
Absolutely incredible wallet! I’m a woman using this!! Got the tracker with it!
I was at Verizon store for 3 hours today and had about 15 people absolutely captivated as I showed the wallet to all!!!
Best purchase ever!! Great communication! Fast ship! I love you guys❤️❤️❤️
The best Men wallet
This is my first metal wallet I bought and this the best one I have ever seen online. I love the construction of the wallet with simple and durable mechanism. First I bought the Fantom R carbon finish with a metal clip, I was more than satisfied. Then I’ve added the Fantom key holder. I am very much proud to have this Fantom wallet, especially when I take in supermarkets for payment, everyone’s eyes on this wallet. The customer service is “the best”. Every company should employ a customer service representative like Randy. He is the best, very prompt on his service. Thank you Fantom for the best product. I may add a tracker (replace key holder) in the future.
Best wallet I’ve ever owned
The wallets are top notch. I’ve owned 2 now. The first I bought was the Fantom S and it was far and away the best wallet I’ve ever owned. It’s still in great condition to this day after around 2 years of daily wear and tear. I decided to upgrade, not out of necessity, but just to get a new one with the new affable features so I bought the Fantom R. I couldn’t be happier and absolutely love it. The gps tracking feature is easily my favorite part. I’ll never have trouble losing my wallet ever again. The customer service was fantastic as well. I believe I spoke with Randy and he handled everything and was terrific. Couldn’t be happier!
Perfect wallet
I have been searching for one for a long time and decided to buy this one.
It's easy to use and absolutely perfect to have, you put it in your pocket just like you would your mobile.
FANTOM R
jUST W,HAT IO WAS LOOKING FOR,NO FUSS JUST RIGHT EXTREMELY WELL MADE.EXCELLENT,ENOUGH SAID.
This is the perfect wallet......
Not much to say, been trying a lot of wallets in the last 5 years and none can match the Fantom. It's the perfect one. And with the add-on this thing is on another level....
Card wallet is what it says
The last year of working from home and buying things online, instead of roaming the city, undoubtedly means a wallet has been used much less than normally. None the less, I can definitely say I like this card wallet. It does what it says. It stores cards in an easily accessible way. It's convenient. It doesn't take much pocket space. It's very accessible. Place the most frequently used card at the front, and the 2nd most used at the back, for very easy access. The less frequently used ones are still fairly easily accessible when the cards are fanned out. You don't see much of each card, though, so you may want to sort them in an order that provides good colour contrast. My only regret is buying the cash strap - it's not bad in any way, but makes the wallet less sleek for very little benefit.
Carbon R7
I have the R7 in carbon with the key holder and money clip added a little extra bulk but now I don’t need my key holder I had. So far this is the most convenient upgrade in a wallet bringing me from other brands. Can’t beat the combo.
Excellent quality
Excellent quality and as a wallet it is perfect size
F13
Absolutely a fantastic product. Using my F13 with ID card holder which is very convenient. I had one of the first models of the F7 and liked it so much so an upgrade were needed!
Fantom R Wallet
Awesome wallet! Works well! Definitely recommend the money clip add on for it! Much faster card access than my old falling apart leather wallet. If you have a lot lot of cards, this wallet may not be the best for you, but if you only have a few like me, it’s a perfect wallet.
High quality!
I absolutely love this wallet! I picked out the R13, Carbon Fiber, titanium clip and black band. Well worth the money! It's super light and easy to use!
Fantom R7
So far I like it. My license and credit cards stay put and don't fall out as they did in my wallet. Very good build quality.
I'd recommend this product to anyone looking for an alternative to a wallet.
Wallet w/ I.D. holder
This is a great product. I can carry all my cards, cash, and still have my preferred identification ready and it's all convenient with a small profile. I only wish to knew about this sooner.
Awesome wallet
I love the wallet. It looks amazing and it’s amazingly comfortable in my pocket. The only thing I find disappointing is the paint is chipping off of the titanium money clip.
Best wallet ever
It looks great its slim but still holds lots
The most worthwhile wallet
I got the wallet and am very, really happy that I love it ... thank you very much
The most worthwhile wallet
I got the anchor and am very, really pleased that I love it...thank you
Worth the purchase
I had a Ridge wallet and kept hearing good things about the Fantom so I bought the R. Man this wallet is beautiful, functional, and the materials seem to be grade A. Cards are easy to get to and put back , and I can carry a descent amount of cash with the money clip. This thing is a work of art, I simply adore this wallet!
Love it!
I purchased one for my husband with the tracker & he loves it! It's easy to us, slim & fits in his pocket nicely, he also hasn't lost it since he has a locator now. He said he'll never go back to a traditional "George" wallet!
Fantom R 10wallet
Esta cartera es increíble, compré la versión Fantom R 10 (3 tarjetas de banco con relieve y 3 tarjetas sin relieve) y cumple con mis necesidades diarias de manera extraordinaria, también compre algunos accesorios y los ocupo dependiendo de lo que vaya a hacer, cuando salgo de viaje la uso con el tracker, pero en mi día a día lo que más uso es el Money Clip y la Fantom Silicon Band. También he ocupado el Coin Holder pero de momento y por mis necesidades, me ha funcionado más la Silicon Band.
Completamente recomendable, ligera y fácil de usar!
Fantom R 13 - Carbon Fiber | Money Clip | ID Holder
Really enjoying my new Fantom R 13 with the carbon fiber finish, money clip and ID holder. Had a minor issue with attaching the ID holder and Fantom customer service sent me a replacement right away. Love the overall design and quality. Trimmed about 3/4 of an inch in thickness off my previous wallet. Would definitely recommend this to replace your current wallet.
Fantom 7
This wallet is awesome, hands down totally awesome! I bought the 7 carbon fiber with money clip and just love it! I just purchased another one with a tracker so I won’t lose my wallet which I have done so many times. This is so nice, classy, strong, and looks good all the time and the cards fan out - too cool! Only problem is the tip on my card is getting some wear on it but that’s because I put keys and coins and lighter in the same pocket as the wallet. No reason to put in the back anymore! That’s a blessing this guy who came up with this design is taking wallets to a new level yes there pricey but sooo worth the money! Trust me you can design your own wallet come on guys who lets you do that !?!? I’m a life time customer all the way I will get one in different colors to add as an accessory to my wardrobe. I get nothing but compliments on this bad boy trust me this is what you want and need stop reading and go make your own you won’t be disappointed I promise!
Great Wallet, great build quality and looks good.
I love my Fantom R10 with the cash holder. It does exactly what I expected in allowing me to have all the cards I need plus a little cash for those odd shops where cash is still a thing. Fits perfectly in my front pocket of my pants so no more sitting with 1 cheek higher than the other. :-).. this is my 2nd Fantom and I fully recommend them to anyone looking to move away from a standard wallet.
Second Fantom Wallet
Loved the first one (carbon fiber that lasted a couple of years without issues), but love the second one (aluminum with black leather) even more. Durable, sleek, and sure to attract attention if that’s your thing.
New Phantom R
Love the sleek and slim design. I am also like the finish options to choose from, but it would be great they offered the option to design your own individual design. With the ID option added it takes a lot of the one side of the wallet, so it would almost be pointless, which I love the fact that they finally added this option, as it was one of my complaints from their first phantom wallet. This is a very firm, and high quality wallet and reccommend it. The price point is a little high, but when it comes to keeping my identy secure then I'm okay with paying a little more.
Great service, great quality
I had an issue shipping overseas and I had my wallet re-shipped with no extra cost, and super quick too!
Thank you for the great and quick responses and customer service, thank you for the great quality, loving my new wallet.
Yes
My boyfriend loves his new wallet I bought him! He has dropped it a lot, and none of the cards come out (something I was worried about). Just what he needed.
The best
This is real, total solid product, THE BEST! Very compact, strong and light. The walnut finish is very durable and anti-scratch!!! (I have been putting it with my keys and coins in the same pocket). Totally recommended.
Perfect
Very good and practice. I have win so much space and weight in my pocket with this. It's very useful everyday.
Nothing compares!
This is by far the best minimalist wallet on the market! The build quality is strong and ease of use is.. easy. This is my second one (needed more space than the first one) and I got both my parents to get them too.
Best f**kin wallet on the planet
I'd know if they were a better minimalist wallet made on this planet, trust me I searched. When I very first got it it was amazing, then a month later I see the cash hold was coming out & it could hold my business cards & cash folded, it's so beautiful, and I've noticed a few people at stores sort of glance at it when I pull it out because it's just that unique.
Fantom R 13
I got this for my dad for Christmas and he absolutely loved it now I'm gonna get one
Great Quality
Simple and enjoyable to put together. By itself it is thin but I bought the key attachment which gives it a little weight and bulk. Overall very good quality, and very quick shipping I received mine within three days of my order.
What a Wallet!
I left old leather wallets (even one eelskin) behind and headed toward a more minimalist design with a Ridge Wallet. Worked pretty well, but the sharp corners wore holes in my khakis and jeans in the front. Nothing I could really see to do about that - it's the way the wallet is made. And so began my quest to find a better alternative. That's when I finally found the Fantom wallet. It's awesome. Awesome is a word that's overused today, but Fantom deserves that designation. The wallet is not only beautiful, but an excellent design - and it features wonderful rounded corners. No more holes worn in my pants! Get your own Fantom wallet and your search will be over. Trust me. :)
Fantom R Carbon 10 cards
Hello,thank you for the wallet
I have got 2 Fantom S but Fantom R is the best slim card wallet I've ever had.
Premium quality like swiss watch
it looks great
Awesome wallet
The Fantom is everything they say it is and more. It looks even more stylish in person. Goodbye conventional old bulky leather wallet.
Fantom r10
This Is by far the best ultra thin wallet,, it’s a must have. I loved it so much I bought 2 extra for my family !!!
Different and eloquent wallet
It is easy transitioning from back to front pocket. No more sore but from wallet budge. Easy access to all of the cards. Purchase a smaller thin RFID wallet for travel and a large 2. RFID aluminum wallet for everyday use.
Fantom R 13
If you want a sleek and minimalist wallet, look no further because this is the thin RFID wallet for you!
Amazing quality
This RFID aluminum wallet is everything I needed: top quality durable materials, excellent craftsmanship, fast shipping at a discounted rate during the pandemic, I've been using it for months without any sign of wear and tear. Very satisfied with my purchase
Fantom S 13 Coin Holder model w/ money clip
Just got the thin RFID wallet today and already in love! Card fanning works. Money clip is super taught and secure. It’s genius and kinda fun to use. And lightweight just makes it a whole lot better
Wallet
Very good wallet light holds a lot of cards I recommend people to buy This wallet it’s outstanding
The speed of delivery blow the competition out of the water
Despite being a person who does 99% of his shopping online, I almost always didn't bother writing any reviews. Not this time. In addition to the spectacular design and materials that many before me had described, it is the shipping speed that compels me to write this review. I placed my order on August 18, 2020, and it only took the package 2 days to arrive all the way from Canada to Hong Kong! Even Amazon Prime couldn't be this fast. Wow!
Simple and Compact
Have had my thin RFID wallet for a few months now. It's simple and compact. Easy to handle and light in the hands. The product is well made and definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a wallet. Shipping was fast and I'm glad I replaced my leather flip wallet with it.
Fantom wallet R (7) & Silicon Band
The Fantom Wallet R has become my new everyday best friend !!
It is so solid, robust, secure, intelligent, and above all so classy!
It always makes a big splash with my friends when I take it out.
It follows me everywhere safely thanks to the RIFD protection and fits easily in my pocket!
The Silicon Band accessory is very practical to slip in the parking, metro or bus ticket, put money tickets etc.
Well done again for the Wallet R!
Bravo also for the FANTOM after-sales service !! You are magic!
Amazing Wallet, Fast Shipping, and Great Customer Service!
Hello Fantom
i received my order of my sons' RFID card wallet yesterday nearly a week earlier than anticipated AND they are just amazing !!
Your website is excellent and SO EASY to use, and being able to see the end product upfront with the design tool was a massive sale factor....that was shopping awesome!
Super happy 1st time buyer 10/10 experience even down to finite tracking and efficient couriers in both USA and OZ.
Thank you my new US shopping Fav !
Keepin it together
A also design that keeps all the important cards in one place.
A smooth operating fab function that does exactly that. On the odd occasion it’s a little tricky to just pull the one card from the middle, it is still a great feature that allows quick access.
The money clip is possible the most secure thing ever! No worries of the money sliding out.
The finish is supreme and sturdy.
The RFID card wallet is larger than others but then also slimmer (without the money clip) compared to my previous other brand option.
All in all top marks as it feels really nice and like quality.
Worth the money
My husbands previous wallet lasted him 12 years before he gave it up, despite the fact that it was falling apart since it was only a $15 cloth wallet. I decided to spend a little more and get him the carbon fiber R Wallet and it is PERFECT! We love the design and durability combined with sleekness. Here's to another 15+ years with his new RFID card wallet.
Review
Absolutely love it. Took about 5 pounds of of my right hip.
AWESOME Product!
I purchased this minimalist card wallet(carbon fiber/money clip) and I have been using it for a while now. Solid product and I'm glad I decided on buying it. You won't be disappointed.
Slick AF
These are the slickest wallets out there for sure! They look super bad**s and just make sense. A bit pricey, but I don't think I'll be buying another wallet for a long time. Plus, there are accessories you can upgrade with. Overall, DOPE!
Awesome Product
Exactly as advertised! Beautiful design, beautiful to look at, super slim and is comfortable in all styles of pants that I wear. Card fanning is excellent. Really happy with my thin RFID wallet and have already recommended to friends!
Awesome upgrade
I upgraded from the original fantom wallet. Such an improvement. A lot sturdier build. Sleek lool and feel. I just ordered the business card band. I am very excited to slap that on.
Fantom R
So I’ve had several small front pocket RFID card wallet and I think the design of the phantom are is excellent and the quality even better. The lever to eject the cards is trick but my one complaint is that it makes the wallet too long. Overall I’m pleased
Awesome feel, build quality
Feels light on the hands, overall aesthetics is pretty nice. Just waiting on the silicone band attachment to be shipped to me, forgot to include it on my first purchase lol.
Best wallet I have ever owned.
I had the original fantom wallet with the composit plastic and that wallet was unbelievable. And now I have ordered and received fantom r and its incredible feeling in the hand and the fan action amazing. BEST ULTRA THIN WALLET EVER.
Fantom R upgrade
I purchased the previous version, and was on the fence to upgrade not expecting the fantom R wallet to be much of an improvement. So glad I upgraded to it. It’s so much smoother and just feels like a beast when holding it. Now the original version is still great but this is def a ‘luxury’ item well worth the money.
Better than the first one
I got the previous version as a gift in Carbon Fiber, and i liked its a lot. Nice compact and light. I bought this new Fantom R 13 in black diamond leather on my own and it even better than the first. The internals of the lever seem to be made out of aluminum now along with the rest of the wallet. The lever feels smoother and looks more durable than the previous version. Don't have to worry about RFID anymore too. Seems like i'm not damaging it so far with whipping it down with Clorox wipes, You can never be too careful with COVID. Overall it keeps your card inside if you drop it. I have a metal bottle cap opener the in credit card size, so I do notice that card will occasionally pop out if you drop it but otherwise of your normal plastic credit cards they should be secure.
Coin carriee
On what date will the new coin carrier for the canton r wallet be released
very nice product
A very nice product! I ordered both: Fantom R Wallet and Fantom Fan Wallet to look about a coin solution. Now I use the R Wallet and a key holder with a small coin bag. Perfect!
Cool Wallet
It's a great minimalist card wallet and looks cool, people ask for it and funtional enough, the materials are great. But in some cases depending of some credits cards shape and material the first slot could be easy to drop your card without you notice it. I recommend to fill the wallet because once you remove one card you have this uncomfortable space that bounce all your cards and doesn't hold as well when it's full. It might be tricky to get to the middle cards but overall great functional wallet.
Great wallet
I’m looking forward to the coin holder and seeing if there are going to be some more accessories that can be bolted on to it, With the hard aluminum chassis it could become the Swiss Army knife of wallets
FANTOM aluminium wallwt
Durable, attractive, functional.
Fantom R7
I'm so happy i bought this ultra thin wallet, it just perfect for my needs. Cards are very secure, it's just impossibile to Make the fall even trying to. Easy, intuitive and comfortable to use, the fanning is more than enough to choose the card you need. And it's beautiful too ;).
Fantom Wallet R
At first I was worried about if it would feel good carrying it in my back pocket, and after having mine for a few months, I can carry it in my back pocket, sit down with it, and carry it in most of my clothing and I pretty much forget it's even there. It's super comfortable to carry, very high quality, and the mechanism makes it so easy to get my cards out whether they're in the front, rear, or middle. The only thing that I wish they made was the coin holder for the Fantom R, because that would really complete it for me, but I've gotten used to loose change in my pocket now lol.
5 stars
Bought as a Christmas gift for my husband and he loves it so much he wants another one!
GORGEOUS
just buy it
Great product
Pre-ordered and received the product as soon as it was released. Design of the product is identical to the photos. Very sturdy and so far no complaints. One note to add is that my first one had a defect where the fanning system did not operate correctly and had to be returned however the support to responded quickly and a new one was received within a week. In the past month I have been using it, it has been great!
Buy It!!!
I over analyze everything I buy and this was no different. Mistakenly, I searched for a new wallet on my phone and the internet did not disappoint with suggesting everything under the sun. I switched to a front pocket wallet a few years ago and had the standard leather wallets you get at most stores. I was ready for something new, that lasted longer than a year, and was easy to use. My biggest issue I wanted to resolve was removing cards that are not commonly used, but needed enough you can't not have them. i would find myself dreading having to pull them out. I stumbled across the Fantom R and was curious. The design caught my eye and then the function of the "fan" was intriguing. There are other wallets that have similar functions but not as simple and confident to use as the Fantom. I struggled with the cost at first and debated if the cost was worth the function. I finally made the decision to try it out and purchased the carbon fiber with rose gold money clip. Anticipation is the worst form of punishment when dealing with simple tasks that turn into mood changing events. The Fantom finally arrived and I could not wait to put it to use. I removed all the items from the package and started to mount the money clip on the wallet. This is my only complaint, and be it minor, its was taking me back to the frustrations of dealing with a wallet again. I would gladly pay extra for the clip to be mounted before it arrives for future reference to those that may have any input on future orders. After some time wrestling with the clip, I rose victorious. I proceeded to load the wallet and was immediately mesmerized by the simplicity of the cards fanning out as I had watched in the videos. I'm so fascinated with it, my children tease me that I'm flexing with my fancy wallet because I will set there and play with the lift tab for hours (if allowed to) because it so consistent in what it does. To sum up this long review, I would buy this wallet again and will probably by it as a gift for others. It has lived up to the hype and I can now stress a little less knowing that any card I want is readily available.
BEST WALLET EVER!
I'VE HAD MY FANTOM WALLET FOR A YEAR NOW AND IT IS BY FAR THE BEST WALLET I HAVE EVER OWNED! THE WALLET STILL LOOKS BRAND NEW (STAINLESS AND BLACK MONEY CLIP)! SO SLEEK AND NEVER GETS LARGER. EASY ACCESS TO MY CARD WITH THE FAN MECHANISM. RECOMMENDED TO MANY OF MY FRIENDS AND THEY LOVE IT! I MIGHT HAVE TO NOW GET THE COOL NEW FANTOM R!! THANK YOU FOR THE BEST WALLET EVER FANTOM!!
Fantastic Wallet!
I pre-ordered the Fantom R after checking out a number of other rigid, minimalist wallets and deciding I didn't care for the plastic construction of the regular Fantom. I decided to give the Fantom R 13 a try because of the materials and fan mechanism. I carry around several cards for my current employer so I needed the biggest model- others may be able to get away with the smaller versions. I got it just a couple days ago, spent an hour messing with it and thinning out my old wallet contents, and I am very impressed. Construction is superb and feels wonderful in the hand. It's weighty enough to communicate quality, but still lighter than my old leather bifold when loaded. The carbon fiber panels are secure with no corners poking up or other issues that may affect durability or result in the panels popping out.
I am currently carrying 11 cards in mine. About half are flat and half embossed, so I think it's maximum practical capacity at this point. If they were all flat, I could easily get another 2-3 cards in without issue. By alternating the embossing from one side to the other, the cards remain easy to access and fan out smoothly. I can remove the top card (reserved for my ID) with one thumb as advertised, and even as the "biggest" model of the R, it's still very front-pocket capable and fits in the narrow dashboard compartment of my truck while driving, which my old bifold could not. No snags in or out of the pocket, even with the money clip, though your mileage may vary if you wear skinny jeans. The corners are very nicely radiused and nothing, even with the money clip installed, pokes my leg while it's in my pocket. The money clip works great for cash and a couple odd-shaped documents I used to carry in my leather bifold wallet. The clip is very secure, weighs nothing, takes 30 seconds to install, and I haven't had to mess with the retention. I am looking forward to the coin holder and other accessories, as I'd like to replace the clip with the coin holder for a flatter pocket fit.
I can't compare this to other minimalist wallets as I've been a leather wallet guy forever- but I can say the Fantom R was worth the wait and the cost and I look forward to handing it down to my son one day- the quality is that good.
WOW
It feels and looks like a million bucks. Carbon fiber with black clip is what I got, size 10.(less bulky than I imagined). It’s easily the best light weight wallet that looks great and doesn’t take up much space. You won’t be disappointed...Buy It Now!
