I used to have a wallet with a money clip. I liked that it was so small. However, it was a struggle to get the tickets. This wallet makes it so much easier while staying secure. The only problem is that the money clip fell out a couple of times. I've since figured out how to do it so it doesn't fall out. But overall I am very happy with the wallet. It's a bit bigger but I'm fine as it gives me easier access to my cards.
