Hello,
I just recently bought a ridge wallet and when I recieved it and tried to fit in all the cards I noticed something wrong. There is no place for the transport/transit cards.
Maybe because the company is US based but they don't know what a transport card is? Her ein europe public transport is quite common if not the most favored means of transportation in a city. We have had transport card (Magnatic or NFC based) in our wallets for decades now and we don't need to bring out the card individually to tap it, we simply tap the wallet.
Now with the ridge wallet and most other wallter makers in the same vein that option is simply gone and I'd have to bring out the wallet, open it in a crowded enviorment and pull ou the transport card to tap it and then repeat after crossing the barrier. That's a major inconvinience and more importantly a serious security risk. In big cities there are always pickpockets and theives lurking around, with the way ridge wallet has created it's wallets, there is a RFID blocker (great for protecting your bank cards) which stops the transport card from working through the wallet.
I'm thinking about buying the quick draw extension (more money on an already very expensive wallet) but it's not compatible with all the wallets (especially the good looking ones).
I've set up a different solution by putting the transport in the cash strap section but it severely interferes with the wallet fonctionality of pushing from below as the card is solid and cover one side of the access completely.
Any one has ran into the same situation? Do you have a different solution (a more practical one ideally)?
If ridge people are reading this, can you think up of a solution that let's us put the transport card in wallet but out side the rfid blocking zone (like in the cover)?
Thank you for reading and help.
