This wallet is showing wear after about a year. It leaves slight marks on some of my credit cards, though not as bad as SOME of the really cheap wallets I've had, yet I've also had other cheap wallets that left zero noticeable marks in 2-3 years (longer than I've owned this one). Just a little bit. Possibly even more annoying, though, is the friction this wallet has.

Imagine you have a car with leather seats. Every day you get in your car and you move around on the seat a little until you find your spot. Then you get a different car and its seats are made with the same material as this wallet. You sit down on the seat, you go to slide around, and you find that you can't. The friction between your pants and the seat is suddenly ridiculously high. You have to use both hands to push down on the seat, lift yourself off, and shift to your position every time you want to move in your seat.

That scenario describes trying to put this wallet in my pocket, especially with my phone, since I try to avoid using my back pockets. This wallet refuses to let go of the case or even the screen of my phone. I honestly don't understand how it can be so bad. My last wallet was a cheap one from Newbury Comics and I could put that wallet in my pocket with my same phone (with the same case) and it was completely fine. That wallet wasn't fabric, though for what I paid for it, I imagine it was probably some sort of imitation leather. Before that wallet I had a Bosca one that was more pricey than this (maybe $100 or so? I forget), and it also did not stick to everything. That's more than what this wallet costs but it's easily worth paying the extra over this.

Avoid this wallet if you need to be able to put it in your pocket and remove it from your pocket without needing to use pliers. Maybe the fact that it's almost impossible to remove from your pocket will make it harder for you to get pickpocketed, though. But watch out because any pickpockets might just get their hands permanently stuck to this wallet.
