Quick Product Review: Levi's Men's Reversible Casual Jean Belt

Very Quick

"At the moment, I've got seven plastic cards in this wallet, including my ID, along with about three more paper cards plus a few bills and it handles them beautifully."

"In an effort to avoid 'the wallet lump' I've been just carrying a money clip for the past few years and had my I'd and credit card loose in my pocket."

"Well, all the bills are secure under the magnet but I can easily grab whatever I need without much fuss AND while I have no idea how durable this product is, it can't wear out like the folding style often does."

"The magnetic money clip on the back is strong and works very well, even with a large amount of folded bills it still holds up quite well compared to many other money clips I've used in the past."

"The RFiD is an added bonus, and I'm not sure how it works, but it supposedly protects remote theft of your credit card information, which is nice."

"Good news: the only way I have found to keep this from happening is to keep such cards in the open wallet section, to the side completely opposite the clip, and with a credit card and multiple receipts acting as a buffer from the magnet."

"You have a money clip with strong magnets and you have magnetically encoded media, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out you probably want to keep them separate... Lastly, the wallet has a side slot that can hold a few more cards in addition to those you store on either side of the wallet... At the moment, I've got seven plastic cards in this wallet, including my ID, along with about three more paper cards plus a few bills and it handles them beautifully."

"In an effort to avoid 'the wallet lump' I've been just carrying a money clip for the past few years and had my I'd and credit card loose in my pocket... Obviously I highly recommend this product, this price is excellent, overall quality is top notch and the convenience of a well designed slim wallet will literally have you wondering why all men's wallets don't follow a similar design. The same seller/brand also makes a version without the magnetic clip which, depending on your needs, might be easier for you to use."

"The card slots are tight and don't seem to be stretching out after minimal use like some other wallets I've used. The side slot is large with plenty of room for multiple cards but also does a good job holding even a few without them easily slipping out... The magnetic money clip on the back is strong and works very well, even with a large amount of folded bills it still holds up quite well compared to many other money clips I've used in the past."

"It has 5 slots for credit cards and ID's and a pocket that you can fit 5-10 cards in (depending on thickness). The RFiD is an added bonus, and I'm not sure how it works, but it supposedly protects remote theft of your credit card information, which is nice... Although, now, I've become a little obsessive compulsive because I no longer have a giant padded lump in my back pocket, and feel the need to check that I still have my wallet."

"I have a disability and generally only wear sweats, I wanted to be able to carry a wallet in my front pocket without too much concern about it slipping out or being bulky so, I thought I'd try this and it served that purpose well... By the way, I slipped my hotel card key in behind my ID to get it further away from the magnet, (leaving it sticking out enough to get ahold of it easily), and I didn't have any problem with it. Granted, I may have only used it once and it may have been on the first of the couple days we were in that room, (don't really remember exactly), but I would try doing it that way."

"Really awesome wallet/clip hybrid, especially once you break it in and the cards are easier to get out of the three clip-side slots... However, the flip side to such a strong magnet is that thin cards with magnetized strips (so NYC MTA cards, parking garage tickets, et al), will be left unusable, and any monies or information stored on the card lost... Good news: the only way I have found to keep this from happening is to keep such cards in the open wallet section, to the side completely opposite the clip, and with a credit card and multiple receipts acting as a buffer from the magnet."

"Over time, I came to realize that I was carrying too many things in my wallet that I did not need... As advertised the magnets in the money clip are strong enough to hold several bills neatly in place... As for garage tickets and other magnetic media you might use, just keep it on the side opposite the money clip or in another pocket... You have a money clip with strong magnets and you have magnetically encoded media, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out you probably want to keep them separate... Lastly, the wallet has a side slot that can hold a few more cards in addition to those you store on either side of the wallet. This is where you would want to store cards you don't use often but don't want to be without, like your medical insurance ID card. At the moment, I've got seven plastic cards in this wallet, including my ID, along with about three more paper cards plus a few bills and it handles them beautifully."

"In an effort to avoid 'the wallet lump' I've been just carrying a money clip for the past few years and had my I'd and credit card loose in my pocket. When I saw this product I ordered it right away as it combines the thinness and convenience of a money clip but with just a tiny bit of extra room for my ID and credit cards. (I hate to even call it a wallet because it's so much better than a traditional wallet) As for the product itself: I've had for about two months and continue to be satisfied with it... This is just an extremely convenient way to organize all your cards/ID and cash without a big lumpy wallet creating a noticable buldge in your jeans pocket... I know I'm sounding repetitive but I seriously couldn't rate this higher, every wallet I've had before were all just ridiculously big and unwieldy by comparison-- and for absolutely no reason! Obviously I highly recommend this product, this price is excellent, overall quality is top notch and the convenience of a well designed slim wallet will literally have you wondering why all men's wallets don't follow a similar design. The same seller/brand also makes a version without the magnetic clip which, depending on your needs, might be easier for you to use."

"* I have no issue traditional style wallets but I wanted to try something new---as the folding style seems to wear our rather quickly---the more money you have, the more it happens and no, I rarely carry that much... The other slots can hold 2-3 cards but I personally do not have that many... The magnet on mine holds 24 bills folded twice----with 25 the magnet popped open with a strong shake... Well, all the bills are secure under the magnet but I can easily grab whatever I need without much fuss AND while I have no idea how durable this product is, it can't wear out like the folding style often does... Overall, it seems silly to be this excited about a wallet but I definitely am looking forward to using it. Edit: 7/27 I have only had this for a short time but I like it so much I am kicking myself for not getting one sooner. It beats carrying loose cards and/or money and the cards are so easy to remove when necessary."

"* I have used many wallets over the years, mostly bifold and moneyclip type wallets like this one... The card slots are tight and don't seem to be stretching out after minimal use like some other wallets I've used. The side slot is large with plenty of room for multiple cards but also does a good job holding even a few without them easily slipping out. Personally, I've been keeping my different insurance/medical cards in the side pocket, which I use quite often and it has not stretched out either. The magnetic money clip on the back is strong and works very well, even with a large amount of folded bills it still holds up quite well compared to many other money clips I've used in the past... I'd recommend this to anyone that prefers a slim wallet with less clutter and especially anyone that carries in a front pocket. This would also make a solid travel/beach/pool/etc, type wallet for times only a few things are needed to carry on you."

"It has 5 slots for credit cards and ID's and a pocket that you can fit 5-10 cards in (depending on thickness). The RFiD is an added bonus, and I'm not sure how it works, but it supposedly protects remote theft of your credit card information, which is nice. And the magnetic money clip is strong enough to hold (at least) 100 bills. You can literally throw the wallet and not a single bill will shift out of place. It's also nice having a visual of your cash, to see how much you have readily available. The only slight negative is that the magnet seems to mess specifically with the exposed data strip on my Metrocard (train pass) if I store it in an external slot... Although, now, I've become a little obsessive compulsive because I no longer have a giant padded lump in my back pocket, and feel the need to check that I still have my wallet."

"* I just went on a trip for medical purposes and wanted something that would take up as little space as possible and still serve the function of a wallet. I have a disability and generally only wear sweats, I wanted to be able to carry a wallet in my front pocket without too much concern about it slipping out or being bulky so, I thought I'd try this and it served that purpose well. I was able to slip four $100 bills and two $50's into the middle compartment with ease and a couple hundred more in mixed bills in the magnetic "clip". They say the clip will hold 30 bills but, there's no way, I tried putting 25 $20 bills in it and it wouldn't begin to hold them... By the way, I slipped my hotel card key in behind my ID to get it further away from the magnet, (leaving it sticking out enough to get ahold of it easily), and I didn't have any problem with it. Granted, I may have only used it once and it may have been on the first of the couple days we were in that room, (don't really remember exactly), but I would try doing it that way. If you're looking for something to take up minimal space and also function as a wallet should this serves that purpose well in my opinion, give it a try."

"Really awesome wallet/clip hybrid, especially once you break it in and the cards are easier to get out of the three clip-side slots. True to the advertising, this thing holds a regular amount of bills very securely, and a large wad well enough... However, the flip side to such a strong magnet is that thin cards with magnetized strips (so NYC MTA cards, parking garage tickets, et al), will be left unusable, and any monies or information stored on the card lost. This happened to four such of my cards across two types of vendors, both while in cities 150 miles apart from each other, proving that it can't be card malfunction. Before demagnetization, the cards were held on the clip side or in the clip-side pockets. But I love this thing enough to buy a one ride metro card, and test out a storage theory. Good news: the only way I have found to keep this from happening is to keep such cards in the open wallet section, to the side completely opposite the clip, and with a credit card and multiple receipts acting as a buffer from the magnet."
