I bought this wallet, because I was tired of cheap wallets that would wear out in a year or two. I have had the wallet for close to a year and there is barely any wear and tear on it. A friend told me I would have it for a decade without any problems. However, the wallet is very slim. If you regularly carry more than a few bills or more than a couple credit cards, this is not the wallet for you. If you only carry a few bills and one or two credit cards, this wallet will serve you well.
