I already knew I loved hardwall wallets and was looking for a new one when my last one broke (card slots started falling apart). I saw this pattern and fell in love (live is even more beautiful). It still closes even when I stuff it (and stays closed). Its accordion style lets me quickly see what's inside. I have had this item for almost a year now and it is in perfect condition. I almost felt like ordering a backup of the same pattern in case mine breaks.
