So I purchased this to replace my original Vera Bradley wallet that Ive been carrying around for over 3 years now. As you can see the old wallet was starting to show major signs of wear, but considering it was the only wallet I used during that entire 3 year period AND I basically used it as my keychain as well, Id say it held up to the abuse pretty well. I love the bright colors of the new one. These make it so convenient to have everything in one place, I almost never carry a purse because I have a toddler and it can be a pain juggling the two. These fit easily in any coat pocket or I just carry it in my hand, putting my thumb through the key folder part to make sure I don't inadvertently drop it.
