Shacke Hidden Travel Belt Wallet w/RFID Blocker (Black with Black Strap)

Unfortunately this otherwise good product has a serious flaw which would be easy for the manufacturer to fix. When hanging downwards from your belt, the long-side vertical zipper is closed in the up position. Yesterday I walked for about 10 miles and, similar to how the motion of walking can untie shoelaces, I discovered that the motion of my leg against the wallet had worked the vertical zipper all the way down to the completely open position. My wallet was completely unzipped simply from natural walking motions. Fortunately none of my bills or cards spilled out but they easily could have. The manufacturer could easily resolve this defect by simply reversing the direction of the zipper so that the locked position is at the bottom, and to open the wallet the user would zip upwards. I hope they will make this alteration.

Worked very well in our two week trip to Italy. Held 12 credit cards, our two passports and paper money. For the most part I stuffed it into my front pocket and wore shirts that were not tucked in so the band on the belt was not visible and the top of the wallet was covered. Very comfortable and easy to retrieve that way.I docked this one star for a couple of reasons. I would like to have a thin steel cable in the hanger strap to prevent cutting by thieves.Second, I received about 4 emails essentially demanding reviews starting about 4 days after I received it. These guys should know that this item will be used on trips and we need time to review. I would suggest that they start sending requests no earlier than one month after sending. That way they don't fill up my mailbox with stuff I have to do while on vacation.If I get another email about this item asking for a review, I will dock another star.

Loved it! The hotel safe in my room was broken on a recent trip so I was able to keep my passport with me at all times. I forgot that I was wearing it on my side with the belt loop option after a while. I would keep a small amount of cash in my pocket and then go to the bathroom and pull out more money as needed (I did not like pulling it out in front of people although I could have done so).I did replace the plastic rings for the neck strap with some metal ones of the same size used for keys from the locksmith shop after reading one review that said they broke. See the included photo that shows a metal ring. Sliding a key part way on the ring helps keep it open so you can thread it through the loop, then just remove the key after you have it all the way on the loop.

Fist time using the product, the stitching on the veclcro strap came loose. This prompted a much closer look at the stitching on the rest of the unit. The entire pouch is assembled with a single line of stitching (using what appears to be inferior quality thread), as opposed to double stitching commonly found on products that are constructed and intended to last.Given the intended purpose of this pouch is to carry one of the most important forms of personal identification, I find this single stitching with cheap thread to be alarming and totally unacceptable.Thus pouch was purchased to protect and keep a passport on my person, not to fall apart and result in a lost passport.Unfortunately, this issue was discovered the day before traveling, so there was no time to get a replacement. Instead, I sewed another 2 lines of stitching using heavy duty, high quality thread, across the vecro flap and at the major stress points of this pouch - where the top strap and two side straps attach to the pouch.The pouch has since survived well under 2 weeks of hard use.If the manufacturer would produce this pouch with double stiching, using a high quality thread, and ensure the thread is secured in a manner thathat it will remain secured, I would happily rate it 5 stars.

Security and convenience always seem to come with trade-offs. This wallet is great, but no exception to this rule. First, the good stuff. The wallet is lightweight and very flexible, so it's easy to handle. The zippers are excellent quality and don't unzip or move at all except when pulled intentionally. The side-zipper pocket is large enough for a passport and additional travel documents. It also has two webbed compartments to help keep smaller items organized. The lower front zipper pocket (further from the loop at top) is large enough for a half-dozen credit cards, cash, etc. The upper front zipper pocket runs behind the lower pocket, so it's as deep as the wallet is long the pictures. That's convenient if you need a longer space to tuck something, but if you drop a credit card or coins in there, the small opening of the zipper makes it a little challenge to fish stuff from the bottom of the pocket. You'll find that being careful with which pocket you choose for which items is all it takes.Negatives... can't really think of any specific to the construction or design of the product. I think wallets of this type do have one inherent problem: with a stiff passport in it, and tucked into your pants, it can make sitting a little uncomfortable. Walking around, no problem--you'll hardly notice it. But when you sit down and the stiff passport is fighting the bend in your groin, you make need to make a polite adjustment, and even then, total comfort may not be forthcoming. Still, it's better than spending your vacation at the consulate trying to get new documents.

The product functioned as advertised. I did not like reaching inside my pants to retrieve my money, credit cards etc. Rather than utilize the belt loop, I attached a lanyard (not included with product) and wore it around my neck under my outer shirt. Whereas I wore pullovers through out the trip, this was not at all inconvenient. I carried 3 credit cards, 2 id's, 250E and $100 cash and my passport with ease. I

I do not rave about products too often but this wallet is fantastic. I ride a motorcycle and when I leave any petrol station I sometimes forget to zip up my pockets... and yes I have dropped my conventional wallet several times. My family call it "old man syndrome".Anyway, Now I get dressed, put the wallet on my belt and off I go. OK, yes my keys and phone have to be picked up but at least I am never with out my credit/debit card. One thing that surprises me is that it does not show as a bulk or lump on your hip. I have tried several of these travel wallets and find the leather ones look good for a few months but then start to look shabby also the zips get damaged easily. As far as the soft material hidden wallets go, they tend to last a long time but are shabby within a month. I know this is not a cool item for any 'pop idle' but if security is on your mind, get this baby.By-the-way it has RFID protection built in.

Only tried out as will be using when away

Lost my normal wallet by pickpocket. They got my bus pass and library ticket. Thank goodness I had this wallet for money

Great job for keeping money, cards, and passport safe. Very comfortable and discrete.

The Item looks good, is very functional. A good idea for travel, not too bulky & it works well to secure your items when on the move.
