I ordered an Ogon Designs case in the Chocolate color, and it is an outstanding case in terms of quality, usability, and style. It fits perfectly in my front pocket with no problem and holds all my key cards (8 to date) and several folded bills.
I also ordered a PocketPaq from eBags PocketPaq The Cache Wallet - Black, which has identical construction to the Ogon case. The PocketPaq is $29.99 vs. $39.00 (Ogon), has clear plastics inserts instead of black inserts (Ogon), and does not have any company markings. In addition, eBags offers free shipping for standard UPS ground, while Simple Luxuries charges $7 for the same standard shipping. The only reason I chose the Ogon case were the color choices; the PocketPaq only comes in Black and Silver.
Overall, I am very satisfied with my Ogon case. If you want to save about $16 ($9 for item plus $7 shipping) and do not care about the colors, then chose the PocketPaq.
I purchased this "wallet" just over a month ago and I am very happy with it so far. I wanted the wallet because of it's construction which gives it the ability to block RF ID signals. I tested the wallet by putting my corporate ID card inside to see if it would truly stop the readers from getting a signal. It does stop any RF ID reader from getting a signal.
The wallet it set up and organized perfectly for credit cards and ID.
My only wish for improvement would be a way to carry paper currency in quantities of more than 3 or 4 bills without changing the design too much in order to keep it compact and convenient.
the person that gave this item one star must own wallets that cost $100+ seeing as how i found this to be a great quality wallet. the magnet clip works great. the only problems i have are with the depth of the pockets on the clip-side of the wallet. the first one is proper depth bet the other two behind it are not. your cards can slide down and be a pain to get out since they are no longer visible.
overall this is great wallet for the price i paid for it and i would have paid full price if i had to
I have a friend who has a money clip wallet similar to this one and after checking it out I realized just how much I hated having a huge wallet lump in my front pocket.. I decided I would get one of my own and after getting this and moving cards/IDs to it I am just blown away by how much I like it! Why didn't I get one of these before?! it's brilliant
Pros:
size, weight and price. it also seems to be made well. I've had the product for a week or 2 and it seems to be holding as expected.
Cons:
as others have reviewed it does have a bit of a smell.. lambskin maybe?
I'm not sure what happened to another reviewer who said it didn't look like the wallet pictured. I received mine today and it is the same wallet. It seems like a great wallet, but only time will tell. It has 6 slots for credit cards, 2 slots (with thumb sliders) for IDs, the usual 2 compartments behind the credit card slots, the place for cash (duh), and a zipper part. The leather is a really nice brown and it has really stylish plaid interior design. Highly recommended if you are looking for a nice bi-fold wallet. Great price too.
The brown leather looks really good
The plaid lining is unique
And the Compartments are well designed and practical
Buy it if you want a thick leather wallet with soft leather that will age nicely
The wallet is really nice and the manufacturing quality is ok. But there is no place for any coin. I am from germany. We have a lot of coins and i can't use it really. It is the reason for only 3 stars.
This wallet is very good and durable, had it since 5 months ago and it has survived my lifestyle pretty good. When i just bought it , i used some WD40 to humect it and protect from aging, so far, its been great.
The bad part is that it does not have coin pocket so you'll have to put your coins somewhere else. Aesthetically the wallet looks amazing,but i would have added some alcantara inside of it, like the German version that is not being sold here. Wallet size is normal btw, not too small and not too big.
I had this exact wallet a few months ago, and then it got stolen. I liked it so much thats why I ordered it again, only it wasnt the color I thought it would be. The picture doesnt really do justice, its more of light and not so vibrant green. But the wallet itself is great-lots of card holder spots and I love the coin kiss snap.
Everything fits in this wallet - coins, cash, check book, credit cards, appointment reminders, pictures. It is durable ; easy to use as well.
After receiving this wallet I was ok with the item. It smelled of real leather which was nice and was small enough that I knew my husband would like it. After only a few weeks the item started falling apart. We have since had to purchase another wallet so for the price if you are in a pinch it's an ok deal but don't expect to have it for the long run, it wont last.
I bought this for my husband who insisted that I not spend a lot of money. You get what you pay for - it's a cheap looking wallet that I will be replacing in a month.
This wallet appears to be very well made. It has the potential to hold many credit cards but I personally don't like to carry that many cards so I removed the card holder pouch and just cary four necessary cards plus drivers license. Even though the card pouch had a clear slot so that removal of the license was unecessary, I don't find removing it from the other holder slot to be a problem. In fact removing that card pouch makes the wallet so much thinner that I love the fit. Not too thin that your not sure it's even there yet thin enough that it's unoticable when sitting down. I also love the double bill slot! I can keep cash in one and reciepts/business cards in the other. Love this wallet!
I was excited for this seeing only 5 star ratings, but I don't agree.
When I opened it my nose was assaulted by the leather smell, which got me excited, but the first time I touched it, it left me disappointed due to its cheapness.
Also, on the inside of mine, there were a couple of blemishes, it looked like someone scuffed it up w/ something.
Pros:
It can hold a lot. It has 2 pockets for cash or whatever else, which allows you to separate cash, checks, coupons etc.
Its tall, my previous wallet couldn't hold checks without the top sticking out and getting really beat up. Not an issue w/ this one.
Metal emblem shouldn't be a cause of discomfort, its pretty small, and level w/ the leather surface.
Cons:
The leather feels pretty cheap, but it does have that nice leather smell.
This thing is fat! You wont be sitting on this comfortably if you put all your cards in this. It can be slimmed by taking out the inner leather ID holder.
Anyway, if your looking for a cheaper wallet, that can hold a lot, this one will work. Just make sure you have big pockets! :)
Love it! Plenty of room for everything, and I love the mini removable coin purse! It is sleek, fun and the purple color is beautiful!
This product was received as described, but the color is darker than what you see on the picture, seems to be a light purple but its a dark purple, quality ; details are ok, in accordance with the price of the product.
This is an average wallet by far, nothing special. Cool design though. The lining inside has a very cheap feel, so does the leather. Some of the credit card slots are too tight to put anything in - it's just made too small. The ID slot in the middle, again - too small or short. My driver's license sticks out and that looks awful. The outer shell is too big/long so it doesn't fold right. I guess this is for when you start packing lots of stuff into it, which I do not plan to do. After I started putting a few credit cards in the good slots the wallet took on a funny shape. Again, the slots are very tight. With a good wallet, they buff the inside of the leather and that holds the cards in. This wallet uses paper thin leather, so the slots are very tight - cheap. I've seen much better wallets for less, but I choose to get this one based on the reviews and the design. Poor decision.
What is not mentioned, is it comes with a change dish (wallet holder, but I'm going to use it as a change dish) - you can see it upside down in the main picture. It's very nice, solid and that, as it stands, it the best thing about this purchase.
Wallet is not bad looks very good, but the inside plastic card holders are very cheap and weak and will tear within no time. I already had to super glue mine 3 times. Also cant fit too much cash in it or it will not bend properly and be uncomfortable in your back pocket.
There may have been a time when this wallet was sold as described. I bought this wallet from two different resellers and had to return them both. Wallet description: "15 credit card ; ID slots. holds up to 40 cards." But it only has 9-10 slots total and it was impossible to close the wallet after inserting my total of 20 ID, credit, medical, and membership cards -- it couldn't close. The wallets I received were exactly as described on the outside, but on the inside, they were structurally different from the description and the product sample pictures. If you have up to 10 cards total, this might be a great little wallet for you. It might even carry more cards but only if they are thin paper cards. But if you're like me, having 15 or more (plastic) cards, this wallet will not work for you.
For starters, it took 21 days from the date of order to receive the item. In addition, the item was not as described. It is made of suede, not leather and it only has 10 slots to hold cards. Also the slots are not tight fitting so that your cards are securely held in place as shown in the picture. I was quite disappointed with this product.
I bought this wallet recently to replace an aging one. Overall the wallet is a of good quality and made from good material. However the only downside I saw was that the zippered pouch for large bills is very inconvenient and not very useful. Would have really preferred if there was a standard 2 partition bill-fold.
Not bad purchase for a stop-gap but if you carry around sizable amounts of cash or small change, this is not the ideal wallet for you.
This wallet is affordable, sturdy, good-looking and has plenty of space. It feels right in your pocket, and though it is a large wallet, it'll fit in your pocket fine. I'd give it five stars but it doesn't wow me enough, but it's a solid wallet. A good choice if you want a nice everywhere wallet that isn't so fancy people want to take it but still classy. Good wallet.
I bought the version of the wallet with a kitty cat on a champagne/warm silver metallic fabric. (Which has sadly moved me into "crazy cat lady" territory, but oh well.) :-P
I have been using it daily for about a month and a half; so far it is holding up well and appears to be well-made enough that it should last for a fairly long time. The polyurethane foam gives it a nice feel, somewhat soft.
It offers a large number of inner pockets; in addition to the 7 card holders and the clear ID section, there is a change "purse" section with a snap, a wide section for cash, and a number of pockets behind the sections for the card holders.
My only concerns about this wallet regard the main closure, which is a strap that closes the two sides and snaps onto the front. It has some magnetism which helps make the snapping easier to find, but the snap is quite shallow, so it doesn't always feel like you are actually snapping it closed. Also, the strap is towards to top of the wallet rather than the middle. This is aesthetically pleasing, but if you are a bit of a wallet stuffer like myself, it could be an issue as the lower half will bulge a bit.
I will consider this line of wallets again when I feel like trying out a new design or mine wears out.
Overall very nice, great price, vegan, and of course, completely adorable. One of these would make a great gift for someone.
I love this wallet. It's the perfect size. It holds a ton of stuff and doesn't take up a lot of room in your purse! The design and color are unique and eye catching....
I purchased the Hilfiger Cambridge Passcase, because there were times I wanted to carry just my ID and one credit card, and I thought the removable insert would be perfect for this. Then, I realized I was driving around without my auto club card, so I put that in the insert. Then, I realized I could use the insert as a sort of money clip (that doesn't actually clip) and fold some bills inside. This configuration works perfect for me! I don't even use the outer part anymore.
The insert has two, clear, inside pockets. I have my ID in one and my auto club card in the other. There are thumb slots in the clear plastic, so that you can slide them out more easily, which is good as the fit is pretty tight. On the outside of the insert, there are two leather card pockets on one side. I have a credit card in one, and I leave the other empty to reduce bulk. When I travel for business, I put a company credit card there. Right now, I have eight bills inside, and they stick out a little, but not enough to bother me. If they're lined up well, it's probably less than 1/16". With the items I've mentioned above and a few credit card receipts, the insert closes fine and is still pretty thin. I don't have a ruler handy, but it's about as thick as my iPhone 4s in its silicone skin case. Without the bills, it's maybe 2/3 of that.
When I used the inner and outer sections as a whole unit, it was a bit bulky for me, and being brand new, it was a bit stiff. I'm sure the leather would've softened over time and fit around my stuff better, but as I said, I realized I didn't need to carry as much as I had been. I think I had credit cards in most of the pockets, along with some business cards, and maybe a couple of frequent buyer type cards. This made the whole unit kind of thick, and the new, stiff leather made it feel even thicker.
I'm not sure what use most people would have for a passcase wallet, but the insert is the perfect, tiny wallet for me. The outer part holds all my other stuff which I take with me only when needed. I'm the kind of guy who likes having everything all the time, but going minimal has worked out pretty well so far, as long as I plan ahead.
the wallet looks great, it came in a very nice box, and has rooms for my cards, the Tommy logo is apparent and looks stylish on the wallet, i like it so much.
This is the perfectly designed wallet. It comfortably can hold all your credit cards and business cards. There are two compartments for your paper bills, so I place the 1$ bills in one and the rest in the other. Not only is the wallet convenient, it is classy as well.
Dockers make nice pants. Now I see that they make nice wallets, I will look into their other product lines !
this wallet was purchased as a present for my son...he is "pickey" and i was glad to hear his upbeat comments...it is very well made and has all the pockets you would ever need for daily use...definitely would recommend as a gift or for yourself.
The carbon fiber plates are a bit stiff, but the wallet is somehow very comfortable to wear. The only con is its actually a little difficult to open, as the plates are indeed tough, it'll want to close on your finger like the coolest venus flytrap you've ever freaking seen. This thing has like 9 slots for business cards, currency divider (or as we poor call it, the 'i have no money' side and the 'receipts for stuff i cant afford' side. Aside from the annoyances, this may be the best wallet I've ever bought. Every time i whip the thing out i get a look like 'hey cool wallet, now please leave my establishment so that i may purchase my own.'
If you're mildly obsessed with anything carbon fiber, or if you just want a tough-as-nails place to hide those pictures of your ex girlfriend you swear you didn't put on the internet (but we know you did) buy this wallet.
I love this wallet. it looks cool and after 4-5 months of use its still holding up well. when buying certain things online you cant really tell the quality but this is pretty good, even after getting fully submerged in a pool it dried up just fine with no discoloration or anything.
The wallet is a little bulky as is more than my other ones but its not too noticeable at least less than you would expect.

Seriously, I've never had a wallet this compact. I have decided to drop a few cards to keep it thin (although it can expand to hold all of them).
My wife saw it and wished they made it in pink. She's on the fence with getting the black one to keep in her smaller purse.
Pros
----
01 - So very very thin - I can't think of a better design
02 - I like the style of it - I like how it flips open ; and how the outside pocket is slightly curved
03 - It really has everything you need 4 pockets - [1-expands over 1/2" thick][1-has the window for the ID]
04 - It's as thin or thick as you want, depending on what you carry in it (since the main pocket expands like an accordion)
05 - The price in UNBEATABLE - this thing could cost double and I wouldn't blink (but then again I may not have taken the chance on it)
06 - It's so functional - everything comes in and out so easily (the leather is really soft and supple)
07 - The smell - I know you may think it's weird, but leather just smells good.
Cons
----
01 - Leather ; Stitching are thin (but that's what makes it so thin - so this is really a pro) - although it may not last long.
Conclusion
----------
Overall, it is beautiful, compact (nearly half the size of my old wallet) and has the ability to expand to over 1/2 thick - you can fit nearly anything in here.
The price, I feel like I should send the company a few more dollars. I mean, it's worth more than they are selling it for. I'll probably buy 2 more just to have if/when this one wears thin, I'm actually happy my dogs chewed up my old wallet!
This is one of those purchases that just makes you smile: Like my Canon 5D Mark II ; 24mm-70mm f2.8 Lens or my Panasonic DMC-GF1 ; 20mm f1.7 Pancake Lens
After shopping extensively, the photograph and description of this Gem Avenue model caught my eye. Being able to view the color options online is a plus as well. I received it within the timeframe promised and was impressed with the quality upon opening the package. It has the look and feel of a product that will last a long time. Even more fun, it carries that irresistible leather smell. I was pleasantly surprised to find that one of the interior pockets is sized sufficiently to carry folded bills. If you're looking for an affordable credit card holder wallet that is easy to handle (check out the external pouch for stashing your favorite piece of plastic) and one that will take the lump out of your pocket, buy this item. Better yet, buy a couple.
My son wanted a slim billfold with no bells or whistles. This one allowed him to remove the plastic card/photo holders yet still had enough slim "pockets" to organize his various credit cards. Most other wallets I looked at had too many unnecessary flaps and logos. He's very picky and this gift was a winner!
I initially got this wallet as a gift for my husband, he decided to pass on it because he likes the trifold kind. I was going to return it, but it is such a nice wallet that I think I will give it to my dad. The leather is very soft and looks like it's well made. The suggested retail price is $40, I think I got it for half that amount. If you are looking for a simple streamlined wallet, this is it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that one of the pockets for the credit cards was sewn a little askew. Also should mention there is no clear window for your ID.
Came in what seems to be leather box. Very nice box! I couldn't stop smelling the leather, it's great! The only bad thing is the tag is sewn into the lining which is annoying. I had to use a tweezer to get it out. Like most wallets, it takes a little bit if breaking in since it's stiff when it's brand new. Other than that, it's perfect! It has 9 card slots, 3 extra hidden slots underneath each section (one for the plastic insert) , 2 bill compartments, and a clear plastic insert (not shown in the pictures) with 4 slots for extra cards or photos! Very elegant, attractive and high quality leather with nice subtle details. The inside is very soft and in a deep navy blue color. WOW!
I bought this wallet as it looked terrific in the picture. When I received it I was not as delighted... First its too thick, and once you stuff it with all your things it gets really thick (and I dont carry a lot, just money and cards) and it makes you look like you are carrying an extra something in the back of your pants. Then after one day of use it started to get wrinkles in some parts. So, even though it looks great you would have to consider if you want something this thick.
I think this is a great Wallet. Ive been using it for about a month now and it holds all my cards easily and the clip can hold more money then I ever carry with me. However I would say that the ID window isn't snug enough, as my license starts to slip a little and start to poke out, but not to the extent of falling out. Also the clip can be kind of cumbersome at times like whe you need to quickly put your money away at a register or ATM.
This wallet is pretty nice and slim. It holds essentials and that's about it. I've had it for about 6-7 weeks now and I can already see the edges are fraying around the money clip. So I can't vouch for durability of the wallet. I would recommend it though.
I have searched high and low for years, looking for just the right wallet. This is IT! I carry wallet stlye duplicate checks. The book is top bound, and thicker, plus there is the plastic slider that goes between the sets, then the register book. It all fits in here nice and neat, and no bulging. There's enough room for all my cards, all my pictures, and a few other things. The currency section is so big, I can separate my money and I don't have to fold it. I use the pocket on the back for a few singles, when I need a dollar quick, and I don't want to fumble with my wallet. I have a ton of wallets; they are all going to have cobwebs now, this baby is THE ONE! UPDATE:2011 This is STILL the ONLY wallet I will use. I have a whole duffel bag filled with wallets, as I used to switch every couple of weeks. I purchased this in 2008. I WON'T use another wallet.
I did not expect the quality for the price. Soft leather, many compartments for anything you need to store. I'm already to buy more for Great Christmas presents next year.
