Is Bellroy or Secrid better?
Different strengths. Bellroy offers refined slim leather with good RFID. Secrid offers mechanical card access with absolute RFID blocking. Bellroy for leather lovers, Secrid for RFID priority.
Are these wallets worth $80-100?
Compared to replacing $30 wallets every 2-3 years, yes. These last 5-10 years and include features (real RFID, quality leather) that budget wallets lack. Cost per year is actually lower.
Should I spend more for lifetime warranty?
At $100-150, you can get true lifetime warranties from Saddleback, Tanner Goods, etc. Worth it if you want to buy once forever. Under $100 tier is excellent if you prefer modern features over extreme longevity.
What about Ridge at this price?
Ridge offers lifetime warranty at ~$95, which is unusual at this price. But it's metal, not leather. If you don't need leather aesthetics, Ridge is excellent value with the longest warranty in this tier.
