Pleasantly Surprised
I've been thinking about switching to this style wallet for a while, but the price of the main "name brand" was a little too much for me to pay for a wallet. I stumbled across this one day on Amazon and thought the price looked good and the reviews seemed positive and pulled the trigger. Another reason I was hesitant was because I carry quite a few cards (between ID, work ID {more on that later} credit/debit cards, health insurance etc etc) and wasn't sure this would hold them. To be fair, I did cut a few out that I don't use much in person and could easily be stored at home. As you can see from the pictures, I was able to squeeze quite a few cards into this thing and it feels good, not like it is going to break or anything. That said, it's made well. the outside covers are thick (I also like the aesthetics of the wood grain print) and the nylon like bands that keep it together and able to be opened and closed seem like they will last a lifetime. Also, one of the reasons I got this wallet is because of the sheer bulk of my old school leather bifold wallet that I kept in my back pocket. I've been taking quite a few 5+ hour drives every year and within an hour the old wallet would be jamming into my thigh. I realized it probably wasn't great for my back and butt and whatever else, so I wanted to get something like this I could keep in my side pocket. This worked perfect. If there are any cons I can think of (which there really aren't, it does exactly what it needs to, this is kind of personal nitpicking) I guess one would be organization. If you're someone like me who has a lot of cards (being lazy and generally disorganized does not help), sometimes it can be tough to find the one I'm looking for. I pretty quickly realized I should leave my license and debit and other most used cards on the outside, so it really isn't much of a problem...but I have had a few moments in line at a 7-11 trying to find my debit while the kid at the counter stares at me and the people behind me judge me and I eventually find my card but my day is officially ruined. Definitely more on me then the wallet. The other small, small annoyance is kind of a catch 22. It does feature RFID blocking and as a result, I can't keep my work ID inside. I mean, I could, but I would have to dig through every day to pull it out to scan in and out and I don't want to. So as seen in the picture I just leave it on the outside. After typing that out and thinking about it, it's definitely not a con, more of a feature and I'm just lazy. Please disregard. Solid wallet. If you're interested in this style I recommend this one for the price and quality. Can't imagine the ones for over twice the price are any better. Will buy again if needed.
