Review on ๐ŸŒฟ SKYLE Artichoke Bifold Wallet - 11.5x9.5x2 Dimensions by Zack Block

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Back to bifolding in purses

I seem to alternate traditional double and triple designs. I've been using a t-shirt for a long time, but it wears out and needs to be replaced. I saw this one and thought it had everything I wanted and nothing more - it's perfect for me. I try to keep my cards to a minimum so I don't take up a lot of extra space, but here's what I need. Slots for two cards on the left (one with a dark, distracting grid that you can't see but seems so common these days) and four on the right. They also have pockets behind those slots on either side if you have extra cards that you don't use very often. There are two compartments at the top, which is a must for me. I keep cash in one (yes, I still carry cash) and the other checks. So everything stays well organized. Overall sizing is a bit wider than my triple fold which is to be expected, but it lies a little flatter due to one less fold. It's a soft material that feels nice, but I have to take care of my cards inside. You see, in the past some of the cards in my wallets have developed a tear in the section above the card slot. I keep my wallet in my back pocket, so when I sit on it all day it molds to the curves of the material. I can't tell if the softness of the material helps protect the cards by shaping them around them, or if that makes them easier to break because there isn't much support. If I remember, I'll come back later after a few months of use and update here. Don't expect this to happen unless I'm genuinely disappointed, but I come back occasionally. Another feature of this wallet is the printed design on the front. My wife said it was like a cross between a Black Panther and a Falcon. I think it looks cool enough but I doubt I'll be spending much time on it. Overall I really like the wallet and I hope it lasts a year or two before it's time for another one. Then, who knows, maybe he'll return to the trifold.

Pros
  • Leather lining
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
