ID Stronghold Trifold Review

Name: ID Stronghold Trifold
Brand: ID Stronghold

Hi this is Trevor with LeatherWallets.org. In this video we are taking a look at the Identity Stronghold Trifold. Let's get started. All right. Like I said the identity stronghold trifold This is how it comes with this cardboard box. Here, this gift box. Let's get this open and. We got the black option. This does have three options available on Amazon right now. One of the first things that struck me with this wallet is it's thickness and you can see there it is fairly thick with no cards in it. This is how it comes. The size is three and five eighths by four and five eighths. So one of the bigger ones that we've we've reviewed in this series its 83 grams. All right. For the leather the leather is OK it feels OK. Not too bad it didn't smell too bad it has a little bit of a chemical smell doesn't smell a ton like leather but it's not terrible. Pocket-wise you've got 10 pockets and an ID window with a thumb hole here and you've got the bill divider there for you. The ten pockets, so you've got three here three here. One here one here and then one right back here behind. So you've got a pocket here and then you've got a separate pocket with that divider for the ID. So if I did my math right. Three Six Seven Eight Nine Ten and yes so the stitching is pretty good. The only issue that I found with kind of stitching and gluing is that there is no glue which good or bad.

It is another layer so that's not the best but let me show you close up here. Let me zoom this guy in all right. So right here we've got this is the billfold and this is the back of the billfold and you see this part right here. This leather is not glued down and that goes everywhere. That's that's all over the wallet. Inside the pockets. You know anywhere that that it's sewn it sewn, and normally glued but not glued on this guy. So that is you know that's not the best they kind of cheaped out on glue while glue isn't the best way to hold it together. It is an added You know it's it's cumulative between the stitching and the glue to make a pretty solid connection there that that last. So based on that. Oh RFID so this one does block thirteen point five six in all pockets. But it does not block 125 kilohertz. So if you have an access card for something like work if you have something like this that you use to scan a badge to get into work. This wallet won't block that. But credit cards. You know subway access, metro cards things like that that operate on 13.56mHz. Those will be blocked. They can't be read from anybody outside and they put a lot of weight on. So this this company I.D. Stronghold really has a foundation around the RFID protection. So it's a little bit surprising that they only do thirteen point five six with these wallets and not that not including than 125 kilohertz.

So that said so we rank this as a touch under the Carhartt and I will include a link to the Carhartt review. And that's based on what it is and I felt like the Carhartt was just made a touch better the Carhartt does not have RFID protection though. So if you want a trifold and you're looking for RFID protection. This is going to be the best option that we will review that. We've got one more wallet to review in this series and it'll be you know our best our wallet that we reviewed but it does not have RFID protection either. So this is the top of the line of what we've reviewed that has that. So this guy. Otherwise. Coming up next we're going to take a look at the Hanks belt trifold. All of this information as far as the wallet how the comparisons and extra pictures are on the Web site. LeatherWallets.org. Let me show you that real quick. And here you can see the I.D. stronghold. And we've got a couple of extra images so you can take a look at the wallet hopefully to help you decide as well as compare it to. You know some of these other wallets right here. All right.

Review

Our Runner-up choice is the ID Stronghold Trifold. As you can tell by the name, this wallet heavily emphasizes its RFID blocking feature, specifying that every nook and cranny of the wallet is shielded and that the wallet is tested against the strongest possible RFID. During our testing we found that the wallet does successfully block 13.56mHz signals in all pockets, but falls short of blocking 125kHz.

It comes in black, brown and dark brown colors. Made from Genuine leather it is a step down from the Carhartt. Overall the leather is OK and there are no strong chemical oders to the wallet. The only build issue that is questionable is that the edges of the leather are not glued down. I am not sure why they chose this route. This oversight creates an issue when trying to extract cards from the inside of the inner "hidden" pockets. The cards tend to catch on the leather flaps.

When looking at the dimensions of this wallet you will probably notice that it is one of the bigger wallets in this category measuring in at about 4.5 inches vertical by 3.63 inches horizontal.

An additional feature of the ID Stronghold wallet is the divider in the billfold area allowing you to separate large bills from small bills or receipts from everything else. Avoiding the awkward scenario of paying for a $3.50 purchase with 3 singles and a Wal-Mart receipt. In addition, this wallet gives you 7 credit card pockets, plus the ID window and the two hidden pockets, converting its additional size into storage space rather nicely.
