It uses VELCRO, ugh!

No where in the item description does it say that it uses Velcro to keep the wallet closed. I feel like a twelve year old whenever I go to pay for something. It makes that loud separating Velcro noise every friggin' time. And unfortunately for me, it's not an "amazon.com" product, so the return process isn't as simple. I've been using it since 09/2007 and it still looks new, so that's a plus. And the outer edge is a harder material that just doesn't seem like hemp, though I'm not an expert and it could be. There is a plastic cover on the one side (inside) to hold your DL or other identification.
