OVERALL
IMPRESSION

Walletex’ Wallet Flash is an innovative design
which is durable, keeps data for years, and
resistant to heat and water. It is definitely a good
place to store one’s transferable data. One downside
is that the extended USB connector could get caught
on something and in a worse case, break off. Walletex also offers the ability to print a company
logo on the Wallet Flash making it a great marketing
giveaway. All in all the Wallet Flash is a good
addition to one’s wallet. Therefore, I give this product the following score:
