as of 10/01/2017 not a single defect or seam tear. The middle section holds about four cards before it gets hard. With four pockets in the middle and one outer pocket on each side, I have plenty of room. Very low profile and high quality material that feels. I don't use a lanyard, it would be better if the lanyard loop was detachable, but it doesn't bother me much. Will buy again and recommend to anyone looking for a quality, low profile wallet.
