Review on Premium Alpine Swiss Leather Capacity Divided Men's Accessories & Wallets: Card Cases, Money Organizers & More! by Mike Meyers

Quality multipurpose wallet - does exactly what I need

I ask many things from my wallet - to hold my cards, ID, business cards, receipts, dollar bills, bills and coins. My old wallet was also an Alpine Swiss wallet, but it only had two rows of card slots, a note compartment and no coin compartment. Because of this, I carried both this purse and a bulky wallet with me, which resulted in my left pant pocket bulging unsightly every time I went outside. I also had more cards than two columns of card cases could hold, so in some cases I slipped multiple cards in to keep all my cards in my wallet. To fix this I bought this wallet which has a coin compartment, two bill compartments and three card columns (two of which are hinged). The wallet is made of genuine leather and has a nice smooth texture. While I'm not a fan of such things, it's certainly a nice bonus. The wallet has allowed me to get rid of my wallet which has greatly reduced the volume in my bag. Despite the large capacity of the wallet, Alpine Swiss has managed to make it quite compact in width. This is probably because the wallet is quite long when folded, so while the wallet is compact in width, it is quite large in length. The only downside to the length is that I sometimes have trouble getting my wallet out of my pocket. The two bill compartments allowed me to better organize my wallet. While the main compartment of my old wallet held a bunch of dollar bills, business cards, business cards, and notes, the two bill compartments allowed me to put my $1/5/10/20 dollar bills, etc cards/notes in another pocket, making my life so much easier made when I need to find things in my wallet. Credit/debit cards, membership cards and gift cards, as opposed to the two columns found in most wallets. This has allowed me to conveniently store all the cards I use regularly without having to fold my cards into some sort of sleeve. Finally, the coin pouch has held up well so far. What makes me a little nervous is that the coin compartment closes with a zip instead of a zipper, but I had no issues with coins falling out. I haven't tested the wallet's maximum capacity, but I wouldn't recommend stuffing it too full as it's not as big as a full-size wallet. For most people (myself included) this shouldn't be a problem as carrying lots of change isn't very common these days. Overall, this wallet is well designed, well made and perfect for people who use their wallet for many different things. At $20, that's a very good value.
