This is my second. Only worn out. Served about 2 years. I use it so I don't have to put my wallet in my back pocket. Plus I can tuck it in my pants so it doesn't get lost or stolen. Don't sit on your wallet while driving, working or riding a motorcycle. Highly recommended. Keeps documents, credit cards and money safe. I figured the cable would wear out before the wallet, but it's still strong enough to use elsewhere.
