I like to carry a spare car key with me in my wallet, plus I have those little key chain cards you get from the health club, etc. Putting any of those items in a regular wallet is just inviting them to fall out and get lost.  I looked hard for a "normal" wallet that had a zippered compartment.  I found many huge "travel" wallets, which wouldn't work for me.  I found this wallet, and I'm glad I did.  Has everything I need and looks "expensive" too.
