I came from a thick leather trifold. I left my wallet in a rental car by mistake, and so it was time for a new one. I looked on Amazon searching for a decent wallet at a good price. Also, I wanted something thiner because the reason my wallet was in the rental car instead of my pocket was because it was so THICK! On long trips, I had gotten into the habit of taking my wallet out so I wouldn't do the George Costanza sit lopsided thing. Anyway, I decided to try something completely different from any wallet I've ever used before.

I read the comment about someone getting it for her boyfriend and thinking it looked a little cheap, and I almost did not get it for that reason. When it arrived, either because it's true or because I was biased by reading that comment - I, too, thought it looked a little cheap. But I wanted to try it out. And also I had no other wallet. I'll admit, the first few times I took it out of my pocket to pay for something in public, I was a little self-conscious. However, it think that's more because the wallet is different (being so long) than because i think it look cheap.

Ultimately, I've decided it's perfect for me. Instead of taking my wallet out of my pocket for long drives, I find myself wondering if I forgot my wallet at home because I can't tell I am sitting on it. Nice change.

One comment I will second is that the wallet is longer than your standard bifold or trifold, and so if you have pants with small back pockets, it will stick up some. Think Calvin Klein style slacks (small back pockets). Jeans are generally fine, and for most of my pants it either is completely concealed or sticks out a few millimeters at the top.
