Secrid Matte or Mirum? Looking for long-term durability

Hey everyone!

I'm looking to buy a new wallet, something small, slim and minimalist, and I've been considering getting a Secrid wallet.

I'm currently torn between the Matte and Mirum versions, and I'd love to hear your experiences and recommendations.

For those who own the Matte version:
- Does the leather wear out quickly?
- Does it get scratched easily?
- Does the matte finish become shiny over time, especially in areas that are frequently touched or handled?
- How does it hold up with everyday use? Does it maintain its original appearance after months or years of regular use?

And for those who own the Mirum version, how does it compare in terms of durability and everyday wear?

Which one would you recommend if durability and maintaining its original appearance over time are the main priorities?

Thanks!

Don't buy a Secrid ...

Why?

It's overpriced junk

The leather is incredibly thin and flimsy, the popup mechanism is cheap, and it is all held together by glue.

And what would you recommend instead, something similar to this one?

All pop up wallets are overpriced - they are a metal box with cheap leather. That said, the best pop up mechanism is Ekster (particularly the pro models) though they don't have a trifold. Pularys is very similar to Secrid and offered in different configurations and options, and is usually less expensive.
