I was tired of going through leather wallets every few years so after searching Amazon I decided to try this one and so far I'm very pleased. The material and stitching and even the velcro closure are excellent and so even now the wallet is in great condition. The chain has almost a nickle finish so it looks good and doesn't wear the way I've seen some others do. Overall this wallet is excellent for travel as well as daily use.

*update* 3/1/2011 - The wallet is still in great shape! The ring the chain connects to has had some of the finish wear off but the chain is still a nice nickle finish. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.
*update* 9/10/2013 - The material is now showing wear but the velcro closure is still doing a good job.
