What are you looking for? I personally tried Ridge and Bellroy wallets are some of their copies. Never got into that minimalistic of carry. I still needed somewhere to carry a few more cards and cash. I ended up with a veg tan leather slim bi-fold. Has worked great and formed a nice patina.

Use a small leather cardholder from Tanner Goods and when I have cash just use a rubber band to strap it to the wallet.
Most days I carry a Mountain Voyage Carbon Fiber look wallet (Ridge knockoff that is about 1/2 the cost) and I really like it, but these kinds of wallets are not for everyone. I have about 8 cards in it and cash under the money clip.
When I am out hiking, going to the beach, etc., I prefer the Chums Surf Short zip wallet, which is an amazingly functional and durable wallet that costs around $12. I like it so much I could probably carry it every day if I didn't have the Mountain Voyage wallet.
I use my SO to carry my cards/cash, that way its not my fault if anything is lost and i have more space in my pockets for knifes (= Nowadays you don't need a wallet anyhow (=
What kind of wallet are you looking for? Bifold? Trifold? Which pocket do you carry in?
In the same vein as this how much does op need to carry?
I use a leather bifold cardholder with a pocket for paper cash from woolworth for 7 euros.
It is so nice, I bought 3 more to have a lifetime stash of these.
I recently moved to a Pioneer Altitude Billfold. Great if you are looking for something that handles cash well and is still compact. Nylon, not leather, but still very stiff and luxurious feeling.
I have a Frankengull by Benjamin Bott. Good strong leather, relatively slim/minimalist but not super minimalist. Holds a driver's license, a few cards, one card for easy access, can hold a few bills folded up.
I'm happy with my super small wallet for 5+ years: https://www.i-clip.com/96/i-clip-original-soft-touch?number=IC_111_R11_C121400
Not sure what kind of wallet you are looking for (tri-fold, minimalist, etc) but I am a huge fan of my Dango D01 Dapper. It's way smaller than my old leather tri-fold but holds 5 cards in the back and around 2 in the leather front pocket, and can open a bottle pretty well with it's metal frame. Plus, it looks pretty slick and comes in different styles and metal/leather color combos.
I highly recommend skipping the multitool that you can buy for it. Speaking from experience, it's definitely not worth it imo
