Husband has been using this since December. He says its still stiff and hasn't broken in yet. He also had to trim down pics of our sons to fit (yes, paper prints). Based on description, I was under the impression that the ID slot part came out, separate from the wallet (almost like a business card holder). It does not. That wouldve been better for my hubby who has to show his ID often. He has it in brown leather and it shows every scratch and scuff.
