Received the wallet today - ahead of schedule. Leather is soft and supple. It weighs less than my previous wallet even with everything in it and it's a slightly smaller size which is great. I feel much better about my ID and credit cards with this wallet. The only thing I would recommend to the company is to make gussets on both sides of the coin section so the coins are easier to get out but that's a very minor thing. Although I haven't any way to check to be sure the wallet actually blocks my info, I feel sure it does after having read all the reviews of people who have tested it. I will probably buy my husband a wallet in the near future.
