The 'EOS' wallet is designed from aircraft-grade aluminum to help provide an exceptional alternative to [leather accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mvst-rfidblocking-alcantara-slim-wallet). Instead of featuring different slots and compartments for [cards and cash](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pioneer-wallet), the 'EOS' wallet features one main section that holds it all.

The interior section is designed to hold as many or as few cards as desired to ensure optimal levels of flexibility for users. The 'EOS' wallet can hold either 25 cards, 20 cards and 20 bills or up to 60 bills at a time within the aircraft-grade aluminum interior.

The capabilities of the 'EOS' wallet are capable thanks to the O-rings that help to provide the optimal level of tension to keep contents in place without making it difficult to remove the cards when the time comes.
