If you are looking for a peek wallet that allows you to rapidly gain the information and almost
instantly hand the wallet to the spectator to hold, Alias fits the bill perfectly. Sleek and well
made, this is an excellent peek wallet that anyone can master quickly.
I have owned many
peek wallets over the years, and Alias has three distinct advantages over most others:
1.
You obtain the information almost instantly once the card is inserted into the wallet
2.
You can then, almost instantly, hand them the wallet to hold
3. The angles are very good.
Better than most
If you already have a peek wallet you are really happy with, you don’t
need Alias. On the other hand, if you are looking for a high quality peek wallet, Alias is an
excellent choice.
Two potential cons to consider:
The peek is very quick. Great
for drawings, simple information such as a number or a short word. Not good for a full sentence or
if more time is needed to decipher handwriting.
There is a component of the wallet that is
fragile. In the instructional video, Colin suggests not putting Alias in your back pants pocket
because if you sit down the fragile part could break. I kind of wish this was disclosed in the
advert. If you carry your wallet in your pants pockets, Alias may not work so well as an every day
wallet. It’s probably better to carry Alias in a jacket pocket so you don’t risk breaking the
fragile part when you sit down.
Can the fragile part be replaced? And if so is it something that is easily obtained at a nominal cost?
There’s no information provided with the wallet on how the fragile part could be replaced. From examining my Alias wallet, it does not appear to be something that could easily be replaced.
Thanks for the great review! Sounds like it might be more of a 4 star product rather than 5 but you gave all the pros and cons to help people make an informed purchase, which is what I look for most in these ratings and it's much appreciated.
Thank you for the review it was very helpful. I’m sure it’s an excellent quality but for $100 I want something that will hold up and I won’t have to replace if I accidentally miss handle it
Awesome review thanks much appreciated
