PocketPro 30 Day Challenge: Your Carry Game Elevated

What are two main things every guy carries each day? If you said wallet and keys, you’d be the winner-winner (go get that chicken dinner). If you said pocket protectors or disinfectant spray- we’d say you need to calm down. Nonetheless, guys carry a plethora of stuff with them each day- and a wallet and keyring are two of the top things we can’t go without. While there are no shortage of brands out there cranking out cool products, it’s hard to come by a brand that has some of the sleekest, smartest, and coolest EDC essentials around. We were fortunate enough to connect with the team at PocketPro, where we found 2 killer products for our EDC lineup. 

The crew over at PocketPro came out with 2 essentials that our crew tested out for 30 days- to see if it could replace or be a welcomed addition to our carry kit. We nabbed their Key Organizer and Minimalist Wallet and tried both out for 30 days to see just what they had in store. How’d it go? Read on young grasshopper, read on.

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS

Our crew was shipped both products at the same time so we could review both simultaneously. So when we opened up the PocketPro box and found 2 legit products in tow, we felt like it was Christmas. 

PocketPro Minimalist Wallet

We first dove into the PocketPro Wallet and it’s RFID protected, 6061-T6 anodized aluminum glory. With a capacity of 25 credit cards and removable cash clip- we felt like we moved from a studio apartment to an estate in the country (so roomy). The wallet, developed by precision machinists, a rocket scientist, and a designer instantly felt durable yet lightweight. The design of the type II anodized aluminum body, stainless steel screws, and silicone rubber straps were well modeled and executed in its lines, cuts and dimensions. Speaking of, the ultra thin dimensions are about the size of a credit card, and is only .25” thick (without cards). Coming in at only 2.2 oz in weight, the wallet surely was sleek and slim. The box comes with the wallet, removable cash clip, and extra silicon straps. All the tools needed to get dialed in included and instructions are also included.

The PocketPro Singularity Key Organizer

Next we dove into the key organizer- a 8 key capacity, bulk reducing, thing of beauty we like to call it. The aerospace-grade aluminum body, rubberized stainless steel parts, and a premium leather strap, who wouldn’t want to load their keys into this device? This Swiss Army knife looking key device has us geeking out. The compact design and swivel-out concept is simple yet legit. With the size being only 2.63 x .63 inches and weighing only .6 oz, the sleek key organizer sure is a smart way to carry keys. The box comes with the key organizer, tools to add or remove keys, and spacers to keep them perfectly aligned.

TESTING IT OUT

Our crew loaded up the wallet and key organizer to take it for a real world ride for 30 days. We wanted to test it in normal, everyday conditions, and see just how they both held up. 

First, we stacked the wallet with 8 cards and used the money clip for a few bills. The silicon band did a great job giving easy accessibility in loading up the wallet, and the aluminum used in the wallet made for easy handling, loading and unloading of the cards. The smooth design was legit when we put in our back and front pockets of slide into our carry bags. The slim profile is easily dropped in a pocket and easily grabbed out of them too. After normal use and putting cards in and then taking out when going to pay a tab, the cards were not bent, card numbers were still raised, and the wallet/silicon band showed little wear. We took the wallet wherever we went- meetings, outings, dinner, hikes- you name it. After the wallet banged around our bags, pockets, cup holders, and workstations one thing stayed the same- the wallet’s like new condition.


Now onto the Key Organizer- We have never used one before so after following the initial instructions to load up your keys, we found our key organizer setup to be pretty dang easy. We loaded up 5 keys and adjusted the tightness pretty firm at first (you can adjust the degree in which keys open out from tighter to looser). The slimness and compactness was awesome. Each key tucked away like we put them to bed at camp, and the leather outer strap for additional carry options was a nice feature. 

After a week of carrying keys the tightness remained about the same when spanning out the keys. The keys stayed in place even with tossing in and out of our bags, car cup holders, banging around in a random pocket, etc. The next week of testing we found the same thing. The keys were easily accessible and the fluidity of swiveling the keys in and out remained the same. The leather strap stayed intact and didn’t show any signs of wear.

The final stretch of the 30 days, we noticed the keys loosened up a tad (barely noticeable) and the entire key housing and leather strap was as if it was brand new out of the box. 

After 30 full days of testing we found there to be nothing but positive things to say- from durability to usability, both were top notch.
