Billetus – Super Strong Carbon Fiber Billet Wallet

We’ve done reviews on numerous wallets in the past including interesting ones such as the Backslider Anti-Surveillance RFID Blocking wallet and the ultra-thin Yasutomo Wa-Ben wallet made out of Cuben which is used in sails for boats. We’ve also reviewed various leather wallets but the one we’ll be briefly looking at is not yet available but in the process of being funded on Kickstarter called Billetus – Carbon Fiber Billet Wallet.

The Billetus wallet is made out of carbon fiber, titanium, and aircraft grade aluminum. I’ve never owned a wallet made out of metal which is one of the reasons it caught my attention. The Billetus is as thin as an iPhone 4S, super light, and unlike some metal wallets out there; the edges are tapered to make it easier to put in your pockets. Anther bonus, the Billetus also features RFID blocking to protect you from identity theft and scams.

The wallet is available in two different models with the first being the Billetus Minimus which uses 6061 aircraft grade aluminum unibody construction and an elastic strap allowing for five cards and five folded bills. The Billetus Minimus is 8.5mm thick. The second model is the Billetus Maximus and this one is the premium model featuring construction from carbon fiber, titanium and aircraft grade aluminum. This model is 9.5mm thick and will fit up to eight cards and five folded bills.

Billetus Maximus Wallet

A pledge of $45 will get you the Billetus Minimus while the Billetus Maximum will set you back $105. That may seem like a lot for a wallet but there are plenty of other wallets out there that cost a lot more. Not only that, these wallets are built to last and there should be no reason to replace this one for many years. For more details, check out the Billetus website and the Billetus Kickstarter page.

Hi Guys, I’d like to take the time to thank you for reading some info about me. My mission here as a writer at Unfinished man, is to entertain and inform on all things, from cars and gadgets, to reviews and life. I have a Bachelor in business but never really enjoyed school. I’d much prefer to spend time working on Unfinished Man than spending my days working long hours in some stuffy office. I love green tea and pistachios and my favourite fruit is pomegranate (weird I know). I hate the water but love nature, especially the nature here in my adopted country of Canada.

    I was wondering where I can buy one of these wallets or when they are going to be available for sale. Thank you and have a great day!

      Hey George, perhaps reach out to the company that manufacturers them? We provided a link in the article. 🙂 I had a look, and it seems they aren’t available quite yet, but I’m sure they’ll be able to give you an ETA.

    Billetus is not fullfilling and is ignoring the kickstarter backers who gave him $60,000 to build wallets using local vendors. After he received the payments, he decided to buy equipment he is not familiar with to manufacture himself. Billitus as a company is not good on customer support, giving out messy aluminum cases, and is trying to say he needs more profit from new R&D products to fulfill his commitments, for many months.

      If this is true, well… unfortunately there have been a ton of failed Kickstarter projects.

    Dennis Kapping the owner of Billetus is a scammer. He used the Kickstarter funds to pay his personal bills and the remainder of the monies, he used to purchase equipment that he didnt know how to use, so cannot deliver the rewards to his backers. He deletes Facebook comments if you ask a question about the production status of the Maximus. If its not praise about his his new Maxx clip, he deletes it. Secondly he is offering a new wallet clip combo for sale and has scammed all his backers. This project did NOT fail on Kickstarter, The project funding was a SUCCESS. After the Billetus project was successfully funded, he ignored all his backers, stealing all our money and not delivering. So Chad pardon me, but you are incorrect in stating that Billetus was a failed Kickstarter project.

        My brother was a victim if Dennis Kapping scam. I am not a backer, I told my brother that I was going to hold off until his wallet came to see the quality. My brother is a dialysis patient. Not only he has to have a kidney transplant, but a heart transplant as well. So the money that Dennis scammed was his savings for his own b-day gift.
