With the risk of appearing like a fanboy, I'll state upfront I love Timbuk2 messenger bags. Own many in various sizes and colors. So, during a weak moment, I bought this money clip. I normally use a full size wallet but when I travel and/or casino hop I like to keep it simple and secure, hence a money clip in my front pants pocket. I have an old Fossil money clip with 5 card slots, so I'm a bit spoiled by such a well thought out design. The Timbuk2 only has 2 slots but is much more bulky than my Fossil. I guess Timbuk2 figures bike riders are simple creatures and don't need freakin' 5 card slots! Actually I'd be happy with 3 slots: one for ID, one for VISA/MC and one for my hotel room card. Sure you can stuff several cards in one slot but it's awkward to pull everything out and is just not a convenient design. With all this said, this money clip is reasonably well made and the clip is very strong.
