Dialed Notebook Wallet - RFID Blocking

I really like this wallet (small version) and it is exactly what I have been looking for. The wallet is built quite well and I have no concerns regarding quality. I really like the look and the materials they've used, very sharp.I was able to fit 8 cards in the two card slots with out a problem. I put 3 more cards in the slot behind those. So it will definitely hold 11-12 cards comfortably. The pen loop works fine, however I wasn't a fan of the stylus pen Dialed was offering so I went with the Zebra mini. I have always liked Zebra pens and this one fits perfect. Behind the notepad is another sleeve that I'm using for cash though it could also hold a couple more cards.As for the notepad/planner it's great though I feel it could use one modification. The planner currently has 6 weeks per pad (2 for overlap) and I would love to see that upped to 14 weeks. This way you'd have a quarterly planner that you could use longer and have access to dates further out. If they had to take out some of the lined or doodle sheets that's fine by me. The planner is the most useful part of this pad in my opinion, followed by the lined sheets.The strap to keep the wallet closed is great. It can also be used to keep the planner closed while accessing cards.Lastly let's talk about the price point. It seems Dialed is playing with this a bit and attempting to “Dial-in” the best price (see what I did there). When I first found this I knew that I'd be making the purchase though to be honest, the $45 price tag gave me pause. Especially since I'd be coming back to buy not so inexpensive refills quite often. So needless to say when they dropped the price by 50% for a couple days I jumped on it. That said, I would have paid the $45 and it would have still been worth it. However, I feel most people may decide that's too much. So Dialed if your listening, I think the sweet spot is $35. For that I think most people wouldn't hesitate. Now, if you add the pen and throw in 2 more notepads, $45 would be a great price. Just my two cents. Great wallet and you've got a loyal customer.

Honestly I really love this thing. It's darn near exactly what I've been looking for. But as much as I love it and the build quality of it I have to knock off a few stars for some issues.1. I re-read the description just know to make sure, but I was supposed to get a 56-page notebook included. All I got was the wallet. No notebook.2. The elastic strip in the front of the wallet is joke. I won't hold anything securely. The creators suggest putting a key of a SD card there. I would never do that useless you want to lose them. The moment you turn the wallet upside down they fall out. And I don't mean fall out from aggressive shaking. I mean there's nearly no resistance at all. I drilled a hole into the bottom corner of the front cover and booted my key on. Now it's secure.3. It is kind of annoying that the note book slot is purposefully a few millimeters smaller than moleskine cahier or field notes journal. I knew this before buying it so i didn't ding them for this but It's still worth mentioning. You can definitely fit on of these notebooks in there though is won't fit perfectly. I just trimmed two millimeters off the back cover of my field notes and now all fits fine. I understand that they want you to buy their notebooks but when you use blank pages like I do their notebook is useless (though i didn't even get it).Other than those three issues, I dig this thing and will be using it daily. If three things I mentioned don't bother you than it's totally worth it, if not be aware of them. Hopefully they will improve the design in the future and remember to send the notebooks.

Replacing an old school leather wallet with this. I wanted to minimalize what I put in my back pocket, and also wanted to use a notebook ledger to keep track of what I spend instead of just stumbling further and further into debt. This wallet appeared perfect online and so far it has lived up to my expectations pretty well.it is small and thin, and has space for a few cards. All of the pockets are very tight, which is a good thing (better than too loose). I had to really consider what to transfer over from my old wallet but I don't miss any of it. The notebook is also very tiny but there are several "checklist pages", which I plan to use as my ledger. With the wallet in my pocket I don't notice it while standing and I haven't noticed it while driving for a long period of time (yet). I don't think it will be as big of a pain as my old George Costanza wallet.I would give this 5 stars, but I'm only giving it 4 for these reason:* Even though a free notebook is included, it does not ship with the wallet. It's an add-on that the company mails to you shortly afterward. It's nice that they do this, but I don't understand why they don't just include it with the wallet in the first place.* Unless you already have a short pen (about 4 inches long) expect to buy their Dialed branded pen for this wallet. It's cheap and I got a coupon with the free notebook to use on the pen, which was nice, but again, I just wish everything came together as one package.All that being said I'd happily recommend this wallet to someone wanting a minimalist wallet with a notebook or ledger inside.
