@skip Same here. What broke on mine was the plastic thumb slider thing. It has two very tiny posts that attaches to the rest of the mechanism. These broke off. I super glued it back on and we’ll see how long it lasts (6 weeks so far)
@skip bought one last time and the slider knob broke, got a refund, and now it’s become my favorite wallet with It’s become my favorite wallet with this one weird trick
I used silicon spray lube in the wallet, giving it a dry slippery surface, and now i tap the case like a pack of cards on my palm, the card ends pop out, and I extract the one I want.
My push button fell off in my pocket. Had to use a pocket knife to get the cards out. I even designed a 3d printed cover to hold extra cards and give better grip before it broke.

Bought one at the last mehrathon. Wasn’t a Members Only but it was for the same $5 then. List price with Statik was then $63.99. Don’t use the outer shell but hold 4 cards on the inner pocket. They seem pretty snug and haven’t fallen out.
Plastic push button seems to be the weak spot in comments when product offered earlier. Mine hasn’t broken or shown signs of maybe breaking. Have had for three weeks but now I’ll try to go easy when I slide out my cards.
@gwrankin You didn’t miss anything. The plastic thumb slider breaks off and if you don’t have a minimum number of cards inserted, they will just fall out.
@adj2375 That makes me feel better. I kinda want to try a wallet like this without paying all that money for a Ridge (is that the expensive one they lock up in Best Buy?).
I’m so used to a huge tri-fold, I’m not sure if the switch will take or if I’ll feel like I’m missing too much.
I’ve got a trifold (Velcro, I once lost everything on the freeway on a motorcycle), but I’m going out on a limb here to share ![enter image description here] my coveted EDC wallet.1 Don’t bother trying to steal my credit card as it’s RFID-proof.
In my estimation you’re a lot more likely to lose your CC info on a skimmer at a gas station than anything else; nobody with a single identity is lifting this stuff—it’s people with 5 identities, so act accordingly. Life’s too damn short to burden your buttcheek with a wallet that makes you walk like you have rickets.
@Kyeh lol I converted a 4K video to GIF, they won’t let you upload video files but if there’s a size limit to the GIFs you can upload I haven’t found it yet. ʅ(́◡◝)ʃ
@dvermilion technically you can make a RFID-shield wallet from duct tape and aluminum foil - a simple 2-layers of foil to form the “walls” of the wallet is all you need, and then just tape everything down.
@dvermilion@therealjrn OHHH - it’s a CAT! I like that even more. Somehow having the close-up shot made me think he was a dog! He looks like a sweetheart.
And that’s interesting about the conversion to GIF; I don’t know how to do that but I guess I could do some research & figure it out.
@therealjrn@dvermilion Thanks for the info about the GIF maker! And that cat obviously has a wonderful per(purr?)sonality! That’s a hilarious picture, but also super cute.

Bought one last time, broke within a few weeks.
@skip i had the same experience.
@mr20turbo @skip dang should i cancel
@skip How many cards and bills did you have in it?
@whohitme 6 ish I think. Too few cards and they just fall out, too many and it jams the mechanism.

@mr20turbo @narujin @skip yes you should. I bought two. They both broke within two weeks

THIS thing is “members only?” Big whoop. 🫤
@Kyeh Probably because they only had about 100. They already sold out
@SweetCheese Yeah, I guess it’s a cheap way to qualify for a third of the Irk discount.
Static?!
Feels like a nice cheap gift
@Macroshane Someone bought 5. Cha-ching, shopping done!

@braveit1 Same. I superglued mine back on
@adj2375 i did that 3 times already. Maybe i need better than the dollar store superglue.

Finally decided to pull the trigger and it’s sold out. Figures.

@gwrankin Seems like you dodged an RFID bullet.
@dvermilion boom!

@gwrankin I own one of these too:

When you buy Ridge, you’re just paying for the name. They’re all built overseas and when the production facility finishes their Ridge branded wallets run, they switch the name stamped on it to some other brand. You’ll like this one.
@gwrankin Example of same product; different name stamped on it. Guarantee this is the same unit as the Statik: https://www.amazon.com/AUTLEY-Holder-Minimalist-Blocking-Storage/dp/B0BYPCTQVW

@dvermilion Idk what I did wrong lmao
@dvermilion
I love the view of your pup’s tush. Only - is that really your video? How did you post it, if so?
@dvermilion
@dvermilion @therealjrn
It’s cute! And funny!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Kyeh @therealjrn He’d probably take it as a compliment, he’s enormous and couldn’t be more proud of it lol
There are websites convert mp4 to GIF for you but I use a dumb app called GIF Maker-Editor.
@Kyeh @therealjrn He’s been like this since he was young.
Yes those are my boxers and yes I’m using the bathroom. He’s no longer able to fit
@dvermilion @Kyeh Cats want in on every play. If I shut the bathroom door, they will sit outside and pester me.
@therealjrn@dvermilion Thanks for the info about the GIF maker! And that cat obviously has a wonderful per(purr?)sonality! That’s a hilarious picture, but also super cute.
Looks to be a common problem. Bought two, mine busted as described above. May seek refund…may try superglue. May toss it in the trash.
