About Us

Prüfengel offers authentic consumer tests in which real users share their experiences with products. Our tests are based on practical applications in everyday life and reflect the opinions of consumers. As we focus on consumer tests, we do not carry out any material, long-term or laboratory tests. The tests are carried out by 1-2 independent consumers over a period of 7-14 days. The exact test conditions can be viewed in the test plan of the respective test report – click here to go directly to the test plan.

Manufacturers provide the tested products free of charge. We charge a one-off test fee for carrying out the tests. In addition, manufacturers pay an annual licence fee for the use of the Prüfengel seal. We also receive a commission for linking to manufacturers’ websites. These remunerations have no influence on our test results or ratings.

We guarantee transparency and a fair evaluation. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, please click here.

Vylento
Discovery + Expedition

Manufacturer’s product description

The Discovery + Expedition Premium card holder from Vylento is a modern slim wallet designed specifically for people who value compact, secure, and elegant storage for their cards. Made from sturdy aluminum with a high-quality metal mechanism, it offers space for up to ten cards and has an integrated coin compartment. Thanks to RFID protection technology, credit cards and ID cards are reliably protected against unauthorized reading.

The high-quality workmanship and elegant design are particularly impressive. The card ejection mechanism works smoothly and reliably, making it very convenient to use. The slim format is also impressive, fitting into any pocket without adding bulk.

The only minor drawback is that the compact design means there is no room for large amounts of cash.

Overall, the card holder impresses with its robustness, security, and elegance.

  • High-quality workmanship
  • Robust aluminum housing
  • Smooth card mechanism
  • Slim design results in limited space

The first impression of the Discovery + Expedition Premium card holder is extremely positive. Even when unpacking, it is clear that Vylento attaches great importance to high-quality product protection. The card holder is securely fixed in place, ruling out any damage during transport. The surface and mechanism show no scratches or signs of wear – the product arrives at the customer in perfect condition. The sustainability of the packaging deserves special attention. Vylento has a well-thought-out concept here: “100% offset by planted trees.” Donations to the organization One Tree Planted not only offset the ecological footprint of the packaging, but also actively contribute to reforestation and the protection of animal habitats. Vylento thus combines functional product design with a clear commitment to greater environmental protection – a unique selling point in this product category. Overall, the first impression conveys a consistently high-quality and sustainable overall image: the card holder not only looks elegant, but also well thought-out and responsible in its presentation.

Visually, the Discovery + Expedition Premium card holder impresses with its clear, minimalist design. The matte aluminum housing looks classy and modern without being overloaded. The lines are simple but stylish, so the card holder cuts a fine figure both in everyday business and leisure. The workmanship is of a very high standard. All edges are neatly rounded, with no sharp points or rough transitions. The eject mechanism works smoothly and precisely – a light touch is enough to make the cards slide out like a fan. The integrated coin compartment is also sturdily constructed and closes securely. The aluminum used offers a clear advantage in terms of stability: the case is robust, reliably protects the cards from bending or breaking, and is also light enough to be carried comfortably. The product also scores highly in terms of sustainability: while the aluminum promises a long service life, Vylento’s tree planting initiative reinforces the brand’s ecological responsibility. In summary, the card holder conveys an image of high-quality workmanship, elegance, and durability that is very convincing in everyday use.

*The maximum score is 100 points

In practical testing, the Discovery + Expedition Premium card holder achieved top marks in all areas. In terms of capacity, the manufacturer states that it can hold up to ten cards. Our test confirmed this. In addition to the drawer, which can hold up to 7 cards, additional cards can be stored on the inside. Compatibility with various types of cards – from credit cards and ID cards to business cards – was no problem. All cards could be easily inserted, securely fastened, and removed again. Handling in everyday use was also flawless: the card holder fits discreetly into any pocket, is pleasantly light, and does not interfere with movement. The functionality of the closure mechanism proved to be absolutely reliable. Opening and closing worked smoothly both when empty and when full, even under pressure. The model also scored points for its ease of care: dirt could be easily wiped off, the material remained immaculate and showed no residue. Overall, the practical test confirms the high quality and everyday suitability of the card holder – only the number of cards it can hold is slightly limited.
