I bought the one I am using five or six years ago, and I have never needed another wallet since. The only reason I am looking for another one is because I bought mine in the ginger (orange) color, and the leather has gotten worn looking over the years. However, it has not actually gotten worn out in any way. I have had wallets come apart on me in the past after only several months of use, but my Hobo has stayed strong.

I read a few of the reviews here tonight and I want to add that the magnets are strong enough to kill the magnetic strip on a card, but only if you put the cards in the wrong compartments. In the first year of using my wallet I killed a lot of cards by putting them in the snap compartment. I discovered through trial and error that Hobo actually set the interior card sections up so that they are protected from the magnets. True. As long as I put the cards in the slots they belong in, I have never killed the magnetic strips.

I can fit pretty much my whole life into this one wallet. It is indispensable. I want to get it in black so that the wear doesn't show, but I am really not even in a hurry because the one I have is still so good.
