I wanted to get a wallet other than leather because the leather can get kind of funky after a long time, and I like the look of carbon fiber. Well, the carbon fiber style is underneath a layer of plastic, not a plastic coating, and I doesn't look right. That was okay, so I dealt with it. It's larger than the average wallet, and I'm still okay with that because I'm a big guy. But after a few months, it completely fell apart: the inside flaps tore away from the stitching on every side - the thing nearly disintegrated. I had to buy another wallet.
