Review on Big Skinny Bi Fold Wallet Zippered by Randy Perry

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Large slim wallets: durable and suitable for everything, but thin!

The Big Skinny Men's World Bi-Fold Wallet with Coin Pocket is a wonderful wallet. As the name suggests, this wallet is big enough to hold almost everything you need, yet slim and thin so it doesn't typically stick out of your pocket. I bought this wallet on purpose because it is thin but also has a coin pocket. . Most men's wallets, especially those in this "thin but stylish" category, don't have a coin pocket and are limited to cards and paper money only. The coin pocket in this wallet is efficient, but that's also the reason I deducted a star. I'm not sure if it's even possible to change the wallet's design to stay thin even with coins, but I've found that if you put a decent amount of coins in the coin compartment, the wallet gets that thick most other wallets on the market. Again, this is less of a design issue than an inherent problem with coin compartments, but if you plan on carrying more than 10-12 coins in a coin compartment, be aware that the wallet will become unwieldy. For cards and paper money, however, this wallet stays as thin when full as it is when empty! The rubberized main compartment makes it a little tricky to insert paper money easily, but rest assured that once the money is in, it won't easily slip out! The card slots on the inside are decent too, with room for most credit and mid-sized IDs. They're too small for business cards, but if you need to carry them around, other large pockets may suit your needs. The quality of the materials used in this wallet is excellent. The wallet has been exposed to liquids before and a quick blot with a towel and the wallet is ready to use again. It slides in and out of pockets easily and all seams feel very secure. I expect this wallet to last quite a while. 4/5 stars - 1 star is deducted after adding the coins due to the thickness of the wallet (I would only deduct half a star for that if I could) but overall this is an incredible wallet that should suit almost any need !
