The Ridge is a metal cardholder that squeezes a normal wallet down to two thin plates held together by an elastic band. It carries a stack of cards between the plates and adds a cash strap or money clip on the outside for bills, with an RFID-blocking build that guards contactless cards. Push a small tab and the cards fan out so you can grab the one you need. It is built from materials like aluminum and carbon fiber and carries a long warranty, which is part of why it keeps resurfacing in everyday-carry videos. Best for people tired of sitting on a thick back-pocket wallet who are willing to carry fewer cards to gain the slim profile.
