Newbie asking feedback for deciding on a wallet (programming.dev)

Hi y'all!

After using classic bifold wallets for the longest time, I switched it up last year and bought a cheap 'modern' alternative instead. The experience I had with it, gave me valuable insight on what works for me and the direction I'd like to explore next. Below you may find what it boils down to:

A small volume is required. I don't think I'll consider something bigger than the wallets found below.
Card capacity of at least 7 cards. More (to an extent) is better for future-proofing.
The bill compartment should 'comfortably' accommodate unfolded bills with size 160 x 77 (in mm).
I think I can live with just a small coin compartment.
Easy/premium access (and back-insertion) for at least 1 or 2 cards.
I love closures to be safe, sound and secure. This doesn't only apply to the wallet as a whole, but also for its compartments.

With the above criteria (and plenty of searching), I found the following wallets (in alphabetical order):

Allett Coin Wallet 2.0 (link)
EXENTRI Multiwallet (link)
The Frenchie Co. Speed Wallet Mini - Aroma Collection (with Essentials Pocket) (link)
STUDIUM timik (link)

I would love to hear any feedback on these wallets. Furthermore, I'm more than willing to accept any other suggestions/products. Thanks in advance! Much appreciated!

A few years ago the BIFL sub on r#ddit recommended the secrid wallet. It's mostly solid.

Thank you for mentioning it! But I don't think any of their wallets satisfy the requirements. Please correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Yeah you're right, don't think they do because of the unfolded requirements. I shall follow this thread with great interest because I would be interested in checking out a wallet with these specifications

Yeah you’re right, don’t think they do because of the unfolded requirements,

Yup, I believe that's the primary culprit.

The push towards minimalist wallets has produced plenty of innovation and I'd say has been great overall. But it's a pity that folding bills has pretty much become a given across the board 😭. Which, I suppose is somewhat expected as it's quite straining on the design space.
