So today we’re checking out two nontraditional wallets, the Aluma wallet and the Ogon wallet. They’re two products from wallet types that have been gaining popularity recently: anti-RFID theft and hard case wallets. These deviate from the traditional bifolds and trifolds you may have in your pocket or purse right now, so let’s find out what they’re made for what they can do for you.
Nontraditional wallets
Despite the price difference, the Aluma wallet (US$ 10.99) and the Ogon wallet (US$ 29.99) have several design similarities – actually, they’re almost identical save for the materials used and the manufacturers from which they’re made. These wallets have aluminium outer shells and hard plastic inner cases. Inside, the wallets have accordion-like pockets that hold your credit cards and cash. The pockets fan out for easy access to the contents and each compartment can hold 1 or 2 cards. Both wallets have a clasp that can be opened or closed with a click button.
Both the Ogon and the Aluma wallet are light and compact, can be used by both men and women, and come in many different colours. Ogon and Aluma wallet reviews note that these wallets are designed to be kept in your front shirt or pants pocket since their compact design won’t bulge. You can be sure that they are durable enough to be kept in your back pocket though. One thing an Aluma wallet review did mention is that you should be careful not to drop it since it has a tendency to spill all of its contents.
Anti-RFID theft and hard case wallets
Here are a few basics about these types of wallets. RFID technology is now being used by major credit card companies for faster transactions, though security experts warn that thieves may exploit this new technology. The solution, they say, is to shield your cards to prevent your financial information from being scanned by the wrong people. The aluminium covers on the Aluma wallet and the Ogon wallet will shield your cards.
On the other hand, the Aluma wallet and Ogon wallet’s rigid design and compartments will keep your cards from getting bent and from rubbing against each other. You’d probably appreciate this additional protection especially if you’re in a rugged line of work or you regularly damage your cards.
