I have been using a Ridge wallet for 3 years because I don't like carrying around a large, thick wallet. My only complaint with it was difficulty in accessing the credit cards. Problem solved....Ekster!! I have been using my new cardholder for 2 weeks and the convenience is fantastic! I use my little finger to press the button and the cards come out easily. And the card mechanism doesn't increase the thickness, an important feature for me. I just purchased another one for my wife :)
