I bought two of these in February for a friend and myself. He used a Ridge wallet and I used a leather double fold. My wallet was a mess, but more importantly, it was thick and bulky. His wallet is torn (only the plastic front, still structurally sound) and the elastics are frayed. We both wanted thin wallets that could fit in our front pockets. I always carried my wallet in my back pocket, but this was starting to cause back pain. My buddy had his in his front pocket but he had so many cards it was impractical. After 5 months we are both still very satisfied. First, this wallet allows you to reduce the amount of unnecessary cards you carry around. I had membership and gift cards that were several years old and there was certainly no reason for me to carry them for years. After throwing over 10 cards I have about 6 more pockets HERE first. After a few weeks it will degrade a bit and become a lot more usable. After the first break, however, they remained the same, that is, not too loose, the cards did not fall out. I keep 1-2 cards in each outside pocket and 2 spare car keys in the center pocket, a few bills if I have cash. The size is almost perfect for a wallet in the front pocket. I wear skinny jeans and the print is as minimal as you would expect. A small compromise for a significant gain in comfort compared to sitting on a fat later wallet all day. After 5 months he is doing great. No seams, no fraying, no pockets with holes. Highly recommended, especially at this price. You can spend more but you won't get more for your money unless you need a formal or business wallet etc. For a casual wallet, it's perfect.
