Dosh Alloy Aluminum Card Wallet Review

July 17, 2015/ Nir Schneider

Dosh, the Australian maker of some of the best card wallets on the market, has recently released a brand new and unique wallet made out of solid machined aluminum. It’s Dosh’s sleekest, most fancy and geek-chic wallets to date. The Dosh Alloy is arguably a true physical adaptation of an Apple Wallet if there ever was one. Not only does it look absolutely stunning in the most minimalist of ways, but it’s also the heftiest card wallets we have ever used. Whether or not that’s a good or bad thing will have to be up to you to decide.

Flipside Strata RFID-Proof Wallet Hands-On

February 09, 2013/ The Alt Team

Continuing our Alt category is the Flipside Strata Wallet that sets itself as the "in-the-middle" of people who use card wallets and people who use money clips. It's simple and lightweight but also carries much more than just a couple of bills. Oh, and in case you've been a victim of unauthorized RFID theft, the Strata is RFID-proof. It just may replace my beloved Louis Vuitton wallet, maybe.

The Strata wallet is a step up from the minimalistic money clip but still manages to keep itself low profile. Flipside sent us their 2X wallet earlier and we've had very nice things to say about it. The Strata is like the 2X's much sexier and improved brother, with new features such as a secure money clip on the back, a lock to keep things from falling out, and a smaller profile. For less than $30, the Strata offers quite the bang for your buck.

Dosh Blade Card Wallet Hands-On

November 20, 2012/ The Alt Team

The Blade is Dosh's latest minimalist wallet to find its way into our pocket. The Blade looks a lot less like the defined wallet you'd expect, and more in the lines of a compact card carrier. The sleek and slim form factor, and the two-face design allows the Blade to hold up to two cards on one side while it also features a pretty clever brushed metal money clip around the back for American and European bills.

It's called the Blade for a good reason as it's incredibly thin. Roughly as thin as the iPhone 5 or a no. 2 pencil. If you ever need to carry more than two cards, the Blade will most likely be a deal breaker for you. Then consider Dosh's more advanced 3 or 6 card capacity wallets like the wonderfully practical Luxe 3 and Luxe 6 we had the pleasure of taking a look at.

Dosh makes a few different types of wallets made out of future-proof materials, we're going to review two that are pretty much the most kick ass wallets I've ever used. Be prepared, because your wallet is about to shave off some of its cash reserves.

Flipside 2X Wallet Hands-On

January 28, 2011/ The Alt Team

Over the years I've used countless wallets, leather and plastic alike and while most of the leather wallets I used held up well, the plastic ones lasted only a few months. The biggest problem with ordinary wallets is that they just take up to much space and become bulky. The Flipside 2X wallet seems to come from an entirely different species of wallets you don't see every day, and it also stands out to the geek inside us.

The Flipside 2X wallet flips and opens up to the full extent so that it's very comfortable to reach all your cards and insert/take out the ones you need quickly and with ease. A notable feature that the Flipeside 2X has is an RFID blocking shield that keeps your information safe if your cards have smart chips inside of them. Not only will your information be safe and secure, the Flipside 2X's tough construction insures that your cards will never get bent where as using a normal wallet does sometimes bend up plastic cards. We really love the compact design that the Flipside 2X wallet has to offer, and the fact that it allows you to carry you most used cards with you at all times without using up unnecessary space. Normal wallets are too bulky and have a lot of padding that is wasting a lot of space while the Flipside 2X wallet perfectly fits cards and bills and matches their size.
