I love it! (a short essay, sorry)
I have carried a money clip of the plain "paperclip" variety for several (12+?) years after the dilapidated wallet I had for almost 20 years was replaced by a beautiful eel skin leather wallet that my NEW wife got me for Christmas.Then, the first time I have ever done this (40+ year old here), I accidentally washed and dried it, to whit it was absolutely destroyed. I had been searching for just the right clip replacement clip, that would carry more cards than cash. Because who uses cash anymore? I VERY rarely have more than coke money in my clip for the vending machine. I was searching, mostly online, until my friend told me to search "magnetic wallet" which was a term I'd never heard before. This opened up a whole new fantastic world for me! I was amazed by the variety and lameness of some of the results I encountered. Ranging from $9-$200+ I figured an acceptable "quality" starting place was less that $50 for trying something new that I might hate immediately. I looked at countless pages of these newly discovered man accessories for days. Amazon literally had hundreds upon hundreds of "magnetic wallets". I am a watch guy and have more than I care to admit that never get worn. However, every Fossil watch that I have ever purchased or received as a gift has been rugged and dependable. After many days of saving to a favorites list of about 20 clips, most of them being the nearly same product, I picked the Fossil for many reasons. Like many things the first factor one notices is the aesthetic of an item. Secondly, choice based due to my experience with their watches, thirdly, the price point was within my established range, and fourthly they had different colored leathers to choose from. I really liked the lighter tan better than the brown, but being a realistic guy on the go (RN), I chose the brown over the black and tan versions with a little guidance from the "magnetic wallet" suggester's perspective of my fashion style (I apparently like dark brown shoes and belts more than black, I did not know this.) This item seemed the perfect match. As soon as I opened the box I was in love!!! This item is what I have needed for all those years of forcing crap into a clip that didn't belong there, and unlike most people I have multiple cards I am REQUIRED to carry at all times. Everything from my clip fit in this with room to spare (including the random $26 in folding money I had for some reason). It fits very nicely in my front pocket, the cards don't slip, the magnet is pretty strong and the craftsmanship is quality which I've come to expect from Fossil products. The leather has a nice feel to it, not too thin, the stitching appears strong, and each clip will be unique do to variations in the leather. So far, I am EXTREMELY pleased with this choice and will probably buy the light colored one as well :) At the $30 price point (I will admit I didn't check my local mall) I think this is fair. I look forward to seeing how this holds up and will totally recommend giving it a second or even third look if you are in the market! Read more
