First impressions matter, and the Zitahli wallet delivers. The vegan leather feels surprisingly premium—no one would guess it’s not real cowhide. The distressed brown finish gives it a rugged yet polished look that pairs well with jeans or a blazer.

The slim profile (just 0.5" thick) is a game-changer. As someone who hates bulky back-pocket wallets, this disappears in my front pocket while holding 12 cards + cash. The money clip keeps bills neatly folded—though like other reviewers noted, extracting singles gets tricky when the clip area is full.

RFID blocking works flawlessly. I tested it at gas station pay terminals—my cards stayed invisible until removed from the wallet. The card slots start stiff but loosen up after a week (pro tip: store it with cards inserted to break it in faster).

Two pain points: The ID window requires thumb gymnastics to remove cards, and overstuffing the money clip makes the wallet bulge. But for $25? This outperforms my old $80 designer wallet in every practical way.

Perfect for: Minimalists who still need organization, travelers wanting RFID security, or anyone tired of sitting on a brick-sized bifold. Not ideal for cash-heavy users or those wanting ultra-thin card holders.
