This is the second wallet that I have ordered from Gem Ave. The first one was brown, and after a few weeks of usage the dye started wearing off. After less than one year of usage it started falling apart. It got to the point that you could no longer insert a card without having to straighten the fabric lining. FWIW I only keep one card in each exterior slot, and two on the inside along with a few business cards.

I like having a compact wallet in my back pocket, so I decided to order the same wallet but in black this time. After less than two mo. of ownership this one has started exhibiting the same symptoms as the first (in regards to the dye wearing off). This appears to be more of a synthetic leather. In any event the price is reasonable even though shipping and handling costs more than the wallet itself. In the grand scheme of things $9 a yr. is a small price to pay for a comfortable wearing wallet.

Overall I give it 3.25 stars, but since that is not an option I'll give it 3 stars since "it's ok".
