POWR Card Holder Wallet - Black RFID Credit Card Holder with Money Clip

With Covid changing the way I buy things (no cash being used), I decided to review my rather large wallet. The only "big" thing aside from cash was my old style driving license and I found I could fit it behind my phone inside the case (a bit difficult to retrieve, but it's not called for very often). Then I looked at my cards - there were only about 4 necessary ones (all the others were nice to have or loyalty cards etc). Bought the POWR wallet on Amazon because it was cheap and worth a try. I was concerned because some reviews said it was fiddly, required force, didn't pop the cards up enough to select any "in the middle". So, I ended up putting 5 in the wallet a credit card, a debit card, a photo id card, a health insurance card, and another useful card. The Debit & Credit cards were embossed, the other not. The Debit & Credit Cards (as the most likely to be used are at either end each one easy to grasp with pressure of a thumb or finger enough to pull it out of the popped up cards. The cards in the centre are very easy to access - just push the cards in front of the desired card back in to the wallet - I put the photo id card as the second card as it is the next most likely to use. With 5 cards in the wallet, the popup lever is very light action, and it is so easy to select the debit or credit card, and the ones in the middle are almost as quick. Couldn't be more delighted. The wallet looks sturdy enough, is light, slim, and looks good, It fits easily in a front jeans pocket and I can sit down without any difficulty. To complete my transformation, I activated Google Pay on my android phone, put the Debit & Credit cards there as well (so for all small value txns I don't even need to use the wallet), and I've captured most of my Store Loyalty Cards into the Google Wallet (ones with Bar code all seem to work). Now I only have to worry about the cardboard coffee shop style cards where the shop stamps the card every time you purchase - those cards I can afford to lose so I will treat them individually (carry some in pockets or bring them only when I know I need them). Fully recommend this wallet, but recommend you do a card audit before you get one - and think about Google Pay or Applepay as well.

I'm not sure how I would. If I simply held the item up to a legitimate contactless pay station and failed to complete a transaction would that be 100% proof that illegal RFID readers couldn't penetrate the cover? I don't think so, but I'm not sure what would, without putting my cards at deliberate risk. But as a card carrier and physically secure container this is excellent. It is very neat - barely bigger than the cards itself - and the frame is sturdy and strong. The cards are all well held in place and unlikely to slip out until I choose to use the release mechanism. At that stage they are cascaded out, still firmly held, so I can see and select which one(s) to remove. Overall it fits very well in to a pocket or pouch, prevents individual cards moving and rubbing in a pocket, and is a very reassuring container. I'm very pleased with this purchase. END OF ORIGINAL REVIEW ---------- UPDATE One wet, cold, late afternoon in January in Manchester, I returned to my parked car after having been away for 2½ hours. I spotted something lying the street just beside my rear door. Aah - it was my metal card wallet! It must have fallen from my jacket pocket as I removed it from the back seat. It had clearly been run over many times by other vehicles. It didn't even have the luxury of a flat tarmac or concrete surface to support it: this street still had cobblestones and the wallet would have been bent and twisted over them each time it was hit. The unit itself was still intact, but not a smooth rectangle any longer. It was chipped, scratched, scuffed, dented and twisted enough that the eject mechanism no longer worked. However when I got it home, I was able to prise one corner rivet open (the five others had all held firmly in place) and get my cards out. All of my cards. Not one missing. And, amazingly, other than about 5mm from the open end, all dry. What a mighty piece of work is this wallet. Never mind RFID, if you need physical protection for your cards, this is very strongly recommended.

I’ve been using this POWR card holder wallet as a replacement for a traditional leather wallet, and overall it’s a solid minimalist option. The first thing that stands out is the design. The wooden finish gives it a distinctive look compared to standard metal or leather card holders, and it feels quite well put together in hand. It’s slim, lightweight, and easy to carry in a front pocket without adding bulk. The pop-up mechanism is the main feature, and it works smoothly once you get used to it. Cards slide out in a stepped arrangement, making them easy to access quickly without having to fumble around. It’s particularly handy for contactless payments or quick card use. The RFID blocking is a reassuring addition, offering some extra peace of mind for security in busy areas. Build quality feels decent, though it’s more of a lightweight everyday carry item than something heavy-duty. That said, it does take a bit of adjustment if you’re used to a traditional wallet. You’re limited in how many cards you can comfortably carry, and cash storage is minimal, so it’s definitely more suited to a pared-back setup. Overall, this is a stylish and practical minimalist wallet with a nice design twist. It’s best for those who prefer carrying only essentials and want something slim, modern, and easy to access.

Very compact and slimline, the card pop up feature works very well, holding around 5 cards. It is very sleek and minimal in appearance, and made with high quality material.

Had mine 5 years now. Still going strong, mechanism still works fine. It's been thrown around and has held up fine. Regular good comments when I pull it out on front of people to if that concerns you.

Perfect for what I wanted, which was a form factor that slips easily into my pocket. Rfid protection is a welcome bonus.

Very useful and well built

A little clunky although sleek. My main problem now is I have left the card holder in my jacket pocket on a couple of occasions as I now have something else to carry instead of my phone and wallet. It only holds 6 cards max, I need at least 2 more.

Sehr schön bin begeistert

great build quality,

Molto bello esteticamente e il sistema di espulsione delle carte funziona perfettamente. Non essendo pella vera, sarebbe da testare sul lungo periodo, ma per ora è esattamente ciò che cercavo. Consiglio!

Joli pratique et rapport qualité prix au top
