The sidekick is big enough to carry a pen, small notebook, cards, cash and whatever else you can think to stash away, yet small enough for your back pocket. Perfect addition to my every day carry. I am also hooked on that honeycomb hue.
LOCHBY1 month agoThat’s a solid setup! Glad the Sidekick fits right into your everyday carry while keeping everything organized. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts as well as your support. Thank you so much!
- RHRyan H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoExactly what I was looking for in a wallet
I originally had the Bolder XL ARC wallet. I started taking notes so I did my best in sliding an A7 notepad in the back, but found that the Bolder XL ARC was just getting too full to stay closed with my bare necessities.
Looking for a new wallet, I needed something notepad focused. Lochby products were on my radar but I write them off because their pocket journal was a tad too big for what I needed it for. It wasn't long until I watched a MaxLVLEDC youtube video that I saw exactly what I was looking for. As soon as preorders began, I immediately placed a preorder for the Sidekick.
It's been a few weeks now that I have had the Sidekick, and I love it.
The Sidekick is definitely the largest wallet I have ever owned, but it is well within specs to fit in my front pocket.
I did have 2 issues that were not the fault of the wallet that I did to make my carry better.
The A5 notepads I use are a bit too small and I fount that the notepad would shift a lot in the Sidekick. To resolve this, i stapled the back cover of my note pad to a notecard that fit precisely in the pocket of the Sidekick.
I also carry a USB drive and folding nail clippers in the accessory pouch and found that they slid out the pocket every so often. I wrapped them with small rubber bands to have a bit of tension in the pocket and that has worked quite well.
I do have one concern but this might not be a problem until later. Inside the front and back of the Sidekick is what feels like 2 plastic…
LOCHBY1 month agoThat’s a great breakdown of your experience! It’s awesome to hear how the Sidekick is helping you stay organized and reduce screen time. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts and insights, as well as your smart fixes with the notecard and rubber bands!
Thanks for the recommendation, your support means a lot to us!
- JLJustin L.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoAwesome!
Very nice wallet. There are 3 horizontal slots on the left side that I think you can comfortably put 2 cards in each slot. Behind that is an area to put a little cash or whatever else. It's not big enough put bills without folding but its also quite a bit bigger space than folding bills in half.
On the opposite side there is a vertical card slot along with another smaller vertical pocket. Not sure what all the smaller one could be used for but I saw someone put a utility knife there so I felt that was a great idea. If you go that route just be aware it takes a VERY compact knife to go there. The cars slot on this side I think could also fit a couple cards comfortably but I chose to put a tyvek sleeve with a sticker on it to hold my insurance and other cards. Behind all this another big pocket. I've put a small notebook behind it. This was my main reason for getting this as I am becoming increasingly forgetful the older I get and this way I can write down anything important or any various ideas or things I need to to in it.
Lastly on the inner spine is a slot for a pen or perhaps a similar shaped tool/screwdriver if that's your thing. Since i have the notebook I went with a pen.
All in all it's a fantastic wallet that holds plenty while remaining relatively compact. I've really enjoyed carrying it so far and if it is of interest to you the price is much cheaper than other nicer/leather wallets so couldn't hurt too much to give it a try.
LOCHBY1 month agoAppreciate the detailed review! Sounds like you've really put the Sidekick through its paces and found a setup that works perfectly for you. Thanks for sharing your experience—and we also want to thank you for the support. It means the world to us!
- BCBoguslaw C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoLove the size
I thought I'll never need another Lochby, but here it is. New Sidekick that perfectly fits in my back pocket. Love the penholder. It fits and protects my Traveler's Company pen. Then I found Noble Note A7 notes and added Field Notes' calendar and like this set up so much.
LOCHBY1 month agoGlad to hear the it's a great addition to your setup and that you've found an awesome combination of gear that works for you! Thanks for the support as well and hope the Sidekick serves you well!
