Product Description
Keep your cards and currency close without taking up too much room. New from Bellroy, the Note Sleeve is a space-efficient wallet that feels and functions like a pocket-sized folder Read More
The simple fact you’re already on your 2nd one, makes me not want it even more. My original leather wallet has lasted over 15 years and still going fine. Would like to go away from tri-fold but it won’t be with this one.
Personally, I don't care about RFID blocking, as there is an opinion that it is pointless (https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/are-rfid-blocking-products-worth-your-money-we-asked-an-expert/), and I'm inclined to agree. But of course if people find this important and it was advertised, the product should have this feature.
I got the charcoal version; it's also tan on the inside. And yes, below here, in the comments, Drop's buying manager posted pics of the inside that showed the charcoal version being blue on the inside. I don't care about that enough to go through the hassle of returning the product (I'm based well outside the US), but I'm fast coming to the conclusion that on Drop, even if you have clarified something with the buying manager and the buying manager has posted pics, you might get something materially different.
Unfortunately, it is now an irreversible fact that this website has become the place to offload old stock using fraudulent business practices (advertising something as X and shipping Y is fraud).
I did get a discount on this wallet compared to Bellroy's website, and for me, in a wallet, the above deviations from what was advertised are not too substantial. They _could_ be substantial for other products, depending on the product. I don't know that Drop will get any more business from me.
Gosh, it takes special skill to get a customer base that, in my case, has an addiction for opening new tabs in the browser and typing "f" and then having the willpower to NOT choose facebook but instead choose "_f_ormerly Massdrop"—so, to get this customer base and then to have only _one_ job to do—advertise s**t and deliver s**t as advertised. And then to bring this customer base to the conclusion that one can't trust this company...
[edited to add:] P. S. I cooled down a bit and I think this might be partially Bellroy's fault. Bellroy probably wanted to offload the remaining old-version wallets, contacted Drop about this (I don't know who initiates these kind of sales), and they might have just sent Drop the link to the product as it currently is without bothering to tell anyone that they were offloading the old version, and when Drop's buying manager wrote to ask for pics of the inside (after someone requested them here in the comments), Bellroy might have also just sent whatever pics were at hand. In my work, I have no shortage of examples of people on the other end of the line being unreliable with the information they provide, etc. Anyway, in my work, I learned to press for details. Probably, Drop managers need to acquire this skill, too. And I suppose that in the future, I'll be more cautious of both of products on Drop and of Bellroy as a company.
keybersDefinitely agree with everything you've said, and as a long time customer who's been burnt more than once recently (Elex Pads fiasco, my 2nd pad still MIA, was asked by support to give it till next week), I'll reconsider my future purchases here and check more carefully.
These pictures are terrible. The close-ups do not actually show you the features.
Seeing the opening for a change purse , for example, does not show me how the change purse is Incorporated into the wallet.
I’ve been using this wallet for years and I would 100% buy it again and would gladly pay the full retail price. The only reason I might not join the drop is that I’d be happier giving Bellroy the sale.
Came instantly defective with the inner card slot on the inside already tearing away. Drop hasn't replied my emails since I've reported the issue and the returns window is closing. At the rate this is going I'm going to have to just dump it a bad review.
The images are somewhat different from Bellroy's website. The Java shows a orange / tan inside.
Are the models sold here in fact different or outdated images?
I’ve had a slim front pocket wallet from Bellroy for 5 years and it’s still in perfect condition. I love the softness of the leather and the quality of the stitching
