I was looking for compact wallets to carry around instead of a leather wallet. I saw this item on sale for less than $15 during Cyber Monday and decided to give it a try. Having used this wallet for the past few months, I think I'd like to try something more premium in terms of compact metal wallets, but that doesn't take away from the need to carry this wallet with me for the last couple of months because I have it still enjoy using it and still get compliments on it. definitely worth buying.
