Ok, lets be real for a second. This card holder costs a lot more than some others out there. That said, if you look at the reviews, many of the others have complaints about the sturdiness or finish of the card holder, and many people have problems with card holders scratching up their business cards, or even bending them. I've had none of those problems with this case. I carry it in the front pocket of my pants all the time, and it's solid, haven't had any problems with it in the couple of weeks I've had it, never had a card come out of bent or scratched. In the long run, what's the cost of this holder against handing someone a crisp, professional looking business card EVERY time you reach for one. It's your one chance to make an impression with a potential client, nothing is more valuable. If you're looking for a card holder that does what it says it does and does it well, look no further.
