Bellroy Apex Slim Sleeve (Slim Bifold Leather Wallet, RFID Protected)

The media could not be loaded. Versatile wallet that fits multiple credit cards and some cash. Leather is smooth and outside color perfectly complements the inside of the wallet. Can’t go wrong with this purchase. It’s durable and you will get good complements in its look a d functionality. Would definitely recommend this product.

I’m always extremely reluctant to ever write a 5 star review! There are far too many in our society and it’s really diminishing the value of other people’s perspective! But……this wallet has quickly grown on me! It was very slow to anrrive and had very few color options. When it arrived (late), I thought it was defective. The magnetic, pinch-to-open concept was very awkward and didn’t open, but folded over itself. And the wallet just felt cheap, which was frustrating for the price tag and company behind it. I almost sent it back before I finished getting it fully out of the packaging.Then, I migrated my things into it! Once a card or two was in it, the magnetic pinch process works smoothly and comfortably. With a little support inside, the wallet feels like fine material expertly assembled. The shape compensates around the edges so you don’t feel the wallet when you sit, whether in a back or front pocket.I just threw away one of those wallets with the card holder that presents your cards when you press a lever. It is a cool concept that looks great in advertisements. It’s also quite small, having a profile the dimensions slightly larger than a credit card. But, the edges are squared off (to appear smaller) rather than tapered so it feels like you’re sitting on a brick (or deck of cards). After about a month, the cards would eject by themselves. I would regularly have cards fly out when I took out my wallet. It was like the designer had a great idea, but had never actually walked around with a wallet in their pocket.This wallet was made by someone in-the-know! I expect this wallet to last me a long time, but if it fell apart tomorrow I would likely reorder another to replace it! Great job bellroy! And, thank you!

Title says it all..... my new mfr and wallet. Perfect size and functionality. Magnetic closure is perfect to keep any cards from sliding out.

Just received my wallet today and was very excited to transfer over to this one. I had done a little research between this, Ridge, and Ekster ultimately deciding I wanted the more classic wallet over the mechanism driven ones. High online ratings had me sold on this Bellroy and it met my capacity needs, advertised as 6-8. It is an extremely light wallet, kind of alarmingly so. The disappointment came when I put 7 cards in and found the wallet no longer closes. I ended up having to reduce to 4 and the magnetic closure barely works, even while trying to hold it closed. It was unfortunate to find that what looked promising as a nice product turned out to be a bust, especially at $130.

Pepper blue had a textured but still smooth feel which feels more suede than leather. Overall, it holds 5-6 normal thickness cards with 4-5 bills folded to allow the magnetic “snap” to close mostly flush. You can absolutely fit a few more bills and up to 8 cards if you need to, but it wont close as securely (and at that point, get a bigger wallet).For context, I found this while looking for a slim option that didn’t expose your id on the outside, and didn't require you to fold bills more than once. This wallet checks the boxes for me while handling the capacity I need, but the price is high for thin leather and a minimalist design. To that point I’d expect the “heat sealing” to be a cheaper and faster alternative to hand stitching, so not clear why the cost is significantly higher than the non-Apex version.

Stylish, not bulky and great qualityBought this as a gift for my husband. He saw someone at a store with this wallet and asked for the brand. It’s been a few months and so far he loves it.

Despite the reviews I read about this not closing, I decided to purchase this wallet for its look. I also decided to use the wallet for some time before writing a review. Here’s what I’ve found:Like others I cannot get the wallet to close fully. My setup: I put my license in the left pocket and cash in the sleeve behind. I put my debit card in the right pocket, and 5 cards in the sleeve behind. This may be too many cards for it to close as the sleeves just may not be thick enough. Even reducing the number to 3 cards and it still won’t close (note: I have one thick credit card and 2 insurance cards. I’d guesstimate this about 2mm thick).Since it’s been in use unfortunately I have slightly warped the edges now making it impossible to fully close. However in all cases the magnets are strong enough to stay closed in my setup.As far as the quality goes, I really like this wallet. It is made well and is a unique and nice design. The leather is quite soft and has a very nice hand. I chose the blue color with burnt orange and those who’ve seen the wallet frequently compliment me. It’s also quite sleek and works well in my front pocket which is what I prefer. I also quite love the tab to help pull the cards out. I also don’t worry about skimmers as this blocks RFID via the faraday caged design.So, while it won’t fully close and I may be overpacking it, I would still recommend this because of it’s aesthetic and features. No it will not fully close (and likely never due to my setup) but it serves the purpose of being small, functional, and also looks good.
