      If the sleeve of your wallet gets dirty, the recommended way to clean it depends on the type of material the wallet is made of.

  • What do I do about scratches in my leather?

    Although all sleeves are made of a very durable material, other objects in your pocket might still scratch the surface. Light scratches are part of normal usage and will blend in over time while your wallet builds a beautiful patina.

    If your sleeve is made from leather, you can get rid of light scratches or slight signs of abrasion by carefully rubbing with your finger over the affected spot.

  • My cards fall out of my Cardprotector. What can I do?

    If the cards fall out, it might be due to worn-out felt pads at the top of the Cardprotector. This issue can be fixed within minutes at a Care & Repair Point. Find a nearby Care & Repair Point in the Store locator or contact our Customer Care for an alternative solution.

    You can temporarily fix worn-out felt by gently rubbing the felt pads with a key to roughen them up again.

    
  • I can’t get my cards out of my Cardprotector. What can I do?

    Storing more cards than intended or cards that are broader than a standard credit card may make them get stuck in the Cardprotector. To solve this possible complication, we designed a new lever mechanism for the Cardprotector – the Salamander – in 2016. If you have the Salamander mechanism, use the following four steps to release your stuck cards: 

     

    1. Pull the lever until you hear a strong click. This step requires a decent amount of force. Do not fear to break the lever.

    2. The lever should feel loose now. Make sure to pull the lever entirely and remove the cards that stick out.

    3. Press the lever firmly back into the Cardprotector until you hear a strong click.

    4. Pull the lever as usual and remove all cards. Now the Cardprotector should function properly again.

    Check which lever your wallet has. The old lever can be identified because it doesn’t feature a line at the lever mechanism. You can upgrade it with the new Salamander lever at one of

    
  • The lever of my Cardprotector is loose. What can I do?

    When the lever feels unusually loose, you may have triggered a safety mechanism. To restore the function, press the ejector lever firmly back into the Cardprotector until you hear a strong click. Your Cardprotector should now work smoothly again. If this didn’t solve your issue, find a nearby Care & Repair Point or contact our Customer Care team.
