I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE my new wallet!  The wallet I HAD, I've had for over 15 years and it was in like new condition...until our new puppy pulled it out of my purse.  That wallet is completely obliterated now, lol.  I couldn't believe it.  I really liked that wallet too.  But when I saw this one, and told my husband how I really liked it, he ordered it and gave it to me for our anniversary yesterday.  I was thrilled to get it as I had to use rubber bands and tape to hold the old one together.  This wallet far exceeded my expectations and I would say it is worth MORE than what we paid for it.  The leather is just as soft and supple as can be...and even though some of the reviews say you cannot close it if you put your cell phone in it, I had no trouble closing and snapping it.  It all depends on the type of cell phone you have.  I just have a small tracfone and it fits fine.  Some cell phones are more bulky and that is probably why the wallet won't close with some phone types.  I prefer to keep my cell phone out of my wallet anyway as I have a better use for the nice large roomy interior of that part of this wallet.  I keep all of my infrequently used cards in there as well as photos. This is by far the best wallet you can buy and I highly recommend it.
