Why choose
the Fantom Wallet?
Convenience
Other minimalist wallets compress cards in a stack, making it difficult to remove a card. With the Fantom Wallet, the lever fans your cards out for easy access. This allows you to find your card quickly - no more fumbling for the right cart at the till.
Form Factor
The Fantom Wallet is substantially thinner while holding the same amount of cards. Its ultra slim design allows you to carry it so comfortably in your front pocket, you won't even feel it's there. Break free from carrying ugly bulges around in your pockets.
Declutter
Your wallet defines and reflects who you are. Do you want to be the guy that carries expired punch cards and old receipts around? Or do you want to simplify your life, and only carry what you need? Slim down with the Fantom Wallet and commit to your first step in decluttering and embracing minimalism. The Fantom Wallet will only carry what you absolutely need. You'll think twice before keeping that coffee receipt.
What makes the Fantom Wallet different?
Quality Materials
The mechanism hidden inside other card eject wallets are made of plastic. These plastic mechanisms are too fragile to handle the repeated mechanical stresses of daily use. When this mechanism fails, not only does your wallet become unusable, but there's no way to fish out the seized cards without damaging them with pliers and tweezers.
Durability
Our fanning lever is the only one of its kind to be completely machined from a block of aluminum. This is extremely costly and difficult to manufacture, but we believe in creating a forever lasting product that you only have to buy once. A reliable wallet saves you the trouble of fighting for warranty claims, dealing with dodgy customer service and hidden return shipping costs.
Precision
The flex from plastic mechanisms causes cards to get stuck and not fan out evenly. This makes it difficult to find and pick out the card you need. The Fantom's rigid fanning lever is machined to a tolerance of ±0.0006", less than half of a human hair. This means your cards will fan out smoothly and evenly everytime, giving you easy access to every card in your wallet.
Why use a fanning design?
Leverage
The natural torque advantage from the lever makes it satisfying and effortless to use. Trigger mechanisms have no such leverage, causing uncomfortable strain to your pinky when you use it.
Ergonomics
The Fantom Wallet feels natural in your hands. It's designed to emulate how we naturally fan out a deck of cards. Picking out a card this way is easy and intuitive. Other wallets push cards out in vertical column, making it unnatural awkward to use.
Card Security
The unique asymmetrical shape of our wallet supports your cards on all four sides, like a cradle. This prevents cards from falling out, giving you peace of mind. With a secure wallet, you avoid the hassle of losing your cards, having to cancel your credit cards, and going through all the trouble of reapplying for new cards.
Thousands of satisfied customers.

This is by far the best MagSafe wallet I’ve had! I love the fanning feature and I feel like my cards are much more secure! The slim size is also perfect and fits in my jeans/leggings pocket perfectly.

Just received my Fantom X w/cash holder. I previously had other fanning wallets and the triggers were either “crunchy” or hard to push. The Fantom’s fanning system is smooth and the cards fan out the same every time. The cash holder does not make the wallet that much bigger and a nice addition to have.

As a previous owner of a Ridge wallet, the Fantom is far superior in selecting and removing the exact card you need without fumbling around. The fanning mechanism and the quick access to top and bottom cards is AMAZING.

I bought several fan type wallets from the most popular names in the business. I kept the Fantom and returned the others. The Fantom is the best built, most stylish, more options, and well optimized. I’ve been using it for a few months now and bought another style just so I can switch them out. Mine are holding up very well. Highly recommend!

I did a lot of research before buying and could not be happier with my Fantom Wallet. Have been using it for a month now and really appreciate the quality of materials and how thin it is compared to my old leather wallet. Everything is easy to access and mechanical elements work flawlessly.

This is easily the best fanning wallet there is. I love it so much I bought a second one just to be a backup. I got my bestfriend to buy one. The X is great. I have owned an Ekster and this is miles better. Quality feels better and with the cash holder it’s the most minimal and pretty way to carry cash.

So let me start by saying that their customer service is hands-down, top notch. Had an issue with arrival of some stuff, and was really wanting these before a trip. Well, Randy got them to me, in a snowstorm, from Canada to Texas in no time. As far as the wallets, love it. The release mechanism is buttery smooth, carbon looks amazing, and build quality so far has been solid. Customer for life.

After my Secrid and Virtu mechanisms both broke after not very long, I was really looking for a clever slim wallet that is built to last. The card release mechanism looks much more robust. So far so good! The design overall is excellent and the modular approach too. Purchase experience was slick.

So, I have to say this wallet is a quality product! I bought the largest one because I wanted extra space for future cards. I am a machinist and I can confidently say this is well made from all perspectives. It’s pricey, but quality isn’t cheap. Well made and definitely worth it!

My story should be a good example of how slim the wallet really is. I have eight cards in there right now and while walking to the bank, I patted around my clothing and realized I must’ve forgotten my wallet in the car as I had just changed to the new Fantom wallet that morning. I got to the car and realized that the wallet was actually in my pocket. I was just so used to having a bulky wallet, I didn’t realize it was there.

I’ve spent a lot of money trying several different front-pocket wallets, but Fantom X is the clear winner for me. Firstly, no external money clips or bands are required to hold bills. Secondly, the cash holder doesn’t expand when you add more cash and no bills are exposed. Lastly, the durable fanning mechanism actually fans the cards consistently.
What are you paying for?
Manufacturing.
When you buy a Fantom Wallet, you're paying for the cost to manufacture the wallet. The cost to machine a fully billet aluminum design to extremely tight tolerances. The cost of countless hours of engineering, real customer support, and a lifetime warranty. Our wallets are designed, manufactured, assembled, tested and shipped in-house from our facility in Canada. We chose to manufacture the wallets in-house because it allows us to keep a close eye on quality control. This ensures that our customers receive a defect-free, quality product that has been personally checked and tested by us. You can shop with confidence, knowing that we oversee the entire manufacturing process at every step. Due to the high manufacturing costs, our marketing budget is significantly lower. We rely on word of mouth and real reviews to help people find our product.
Marketing.
When you buy other minimalist wallets, you're paying for Youtube sponsorships, influencer "reviews" and ads on Meta and Google that were carefully tailored to target you. Realistically, these wallet companies are marketing companies. They spend millions of dollars each year on their marketing campaigns. This lavish marketing spend is priced into the cost of the wallet, and guess who pays for it? You do. Even though you're paying a premium price, what you're actually getting is a product that was mass produced overseas, with a true cost of less than $5 to manufacture. That's why you can easily find clones of these wallets on Amazon, Wish, Temu, AliExpress, etc, for as low as $5, and they're virtually identical.
CNC Machining.
We aimed to create a wallet with no compromise. A wallet that has easy card access, while fitting comfortably in your front pocket. Reliable, ergonomic and intuitive to use. To achieve this, the wallet chassis itself requires four separate stages of CNC machining, utilizing a dozen different end mills and cutters to carve out its unique asymmetrical shape. This is extremely costly and difficult to manufacture, which is why clones of our wallet don't exist.
Aluminum Extrusion, Plastic Injection Molding.
Notice something similar with all these wallets? If we take a look at the card eject wallets available on the market, they all follow the same design. They all feature an extruded aluminum holder, with a plastic eject mechanism at the bottom. These wallets are not designed to maximize performance, but to minimize cost. As a result, they deliver poor user experience, and consumers end up paying more when they stop working.
