I bought this wallet because I wanted to protect myself against thieves and pick-pockets. It's a tri-fold wallet, with plenty of room for ID's, credit cards, etc. It has a sturdy chain which seems securely fastened to the wallet, ending at a sturdy belt loop which also has a key holder. The two metal snaps which keep the wallet closed haven't yet presented any problem, but I fear that they may wear out or break off in a year or so. Overall, however, the wallet appears to be well-constructed of durable materials, and the snaps just may never become any problem. All in all, I'm very happy with it, and enjoy the peace of mind knowing that there's little chance of it being stolen from me.
