Best wallet EVER!
June 17, 2016
Have used my Lynx since receiving it in Oct 2012. LOVE IT! With the wrap-around zipper, nothing is ever lost. I put everything in it - credit cards, gift cards, receipts, money, business cards, notes, etc. In fact, I tend to over-stuff the poor thing - a couple of the places are coming unstitched so I am looking for a replacement. Only 2 colors is a bummer - already have black and purple is too bright (like asking for it to be taken). Waiting to learn if Big Skinny will be making one with RFID coating - which would be another plus for this wallet.
Pros
  • Wrap-around zipper
  • Holds an unbelievable amount
  • Good looking
  • Nice size
Cons
  • No RFID coating yet

I like this wallet because it is wider than my previous Big skinny wallet so now I can get my credit cards in and out easier. Also with all of the compartments I know just where I can find each card.

Love my lynx but...
December 21, 2015
Zipper pull broke and I can not longer use the wallet. Very disappointed as I have many Big Skinny wallets and love them all. I used the Lynx on vacation as I could slip it in my front pocket and not need a purse. Too bad its broken and unfortunately it is not in the budget to buy another.

I was unable to locate your order based on the email associated with this review, so at your earliest convenience please contact our customer service team at bigskinny@customerstatus.com or via telephone at 1.888.844.6925 and they'll be happy to send a replacement Lynx wallet out to you straight away!

Great Gift
December 5, 2015
This is the third gift we have made of a skinny wallet, it all happens when my husband pulls out his wallet and friends are surprised at the amount of room available and the compactness of this wallet. Just gave one last week and received a call as he was organizing his new big skinny and had room to spare! Great item and will continue to give the perfect gift!
Pros
  • room inside and compactness
Cons
  • non

just a bit bigger

than my previous big skinny wallet. I can still carry this in my jeans pocket, gym clothes pocket or my jacket, leaving my hands free when I'm out. There's a temptation to carry a bit more too - a coupon or a note. I'm practicing keeping this wallet skinny even though it can hold more. My previous Big Skinny was the very smallest and perfect except that eventually the zipper broke. I liked it's minimalist style. With another quarter inch across the top dimension, credit cards might have gone in and out more easily with less strain on the zipper.

October 23, 2015
I look forward to opening my bag and using my wallet! It's a great purple color that's easy to find. I'm not much of a shopper, but maybe I'll actually use those gift cards now!
Pros
  • Has lots of room.
  • Nice zipper.
  • Great bold color.
Cons
  • None.

Best wallet ever was! lol
October 22, 2015
I bought 3 of these. Red, Black and Purple. When my friends see them they say I want one! I have given 2 away so I had to buy 2 more. The first purple one, the zipper pull did come off but I sent a picture from my phone and they replaced it quickly with a brand new one.
Pros
  • If you go to casino's, you want this wallet. It holds ALL your players club cards. And all your winning$$$$ lol
  • You can wash it in the washing machine.
  • Great customer care.
Cons
  • None, except no red available.

What is a review headline???
August 23, 2015
Love this wallet but the zipper pull broke off and am now trying to get it replace by the company. They require a photo and all that good stuff, even thought I supplied them with all the purchase info that I had. Did not expect this much of a hassle. When I get a new wallet I will change this review to 5 stars.

Merchant Response:Hi Aline, Thank you for calling our attention to this matter. Your replacement should be on its way. Big Skinny has a 1 Year Warranty on all wallets for materials & workmanship :) Kind regards, Big Skinny

Very happy with th Lynx
May 20, 2015
I was looking for a small wallet with this particular layout for use in a small purse. I don't like extra flaps or doo dads or anything to add bulk or complication to my goods. The Lynx fits my needs perfectly. If you've never used a Big Skinny product before, you might feel that it seems too flimsy to be useful, but I think you will find that once you start to fill it up, it takes on a more substantial character. It is just enough, but not too much.

Good wallet, just not for me
March 20, 2015
This is far smaller than most accordian-style wallets. Unfortunately, it's just a little too large to fit in all pockets. Since I don't like to switch wallets when I go from purse to jeans, this isn't for me, but it's well made, small, light and would probably be perfect for a lot of people. It will hold a lot of cards and bills and still fit in a small purse easily.
Pros
  • Smaller than all other accordian wallets and much lighter. Will hold a lot and remain compact--perfect for a small purse.
Cons
  • A little too large for some pants/jeans pockets.

January 18, 2015
This wallet finally put an end to my years of wallet hunting and buying. I was finally able to put all the useless wallets in the closet. The highest praise I can give this wallet is to say that it is as useful to a man as a purse is to a woman. From change to receipts to a ton of cards this wallet sucks it up and never seems to get any thicker. Thin, durable and beautiful in a manly way, the Lynx is the last wallet you'll ever need!

January 14, 2015
I've had Big Skinny wallets for a number of years,bought them for my 2 sons as well. Have had the lynx zippered one for a couple of years now and can't go without it. I'm a Scoutmaster and would accidentally dump my wallet in my tent each camp out and hope I had it all picked up. Now it's no losing cards, have not yet been dunked in a canoe or boat, but seems that it would come out well, might have minor dry time but not like an open "exposed" wallet. Looks new after daily use, glad I choose Henry Ford black, my red Big Skinny did fade but still never wore out. Great products.

Love it!

I've been searching for years for the right wallet. Some I've bought are great to carry alone but too large to fit in some of my purses. All have had something about them that I didn't like. That is until a friend gave a Big Skinny check book wallet. OMG! ! ! ! I love it! In fact I loved it so much I bought this one for myself too. Now I have one that will fit in my pocket or a passport bag. Thanks to who ever designed this! I will never buy another wallet ever again unless it is a Big Skinny!

This is a great wallet. Very secure with zipper. Holds all my charge cards and cash. It's slim and compact. No complaints.

Great wallet but zipper pull broke off
November 5, 2014
My wife loves this wallet. It is much thinner than what she previously carried in her purse. The only complaint is that the zipper pull on the main zipper broke off after about 6 months of using the wallet. She used a piece of string to replace the pull so she can still use the wallet.

Lynx zippered wallet
September 19, 2014
This is a nice compact wallet even when loaded, but still a tad bulky for fitting in my front jeans pocket. For other uses it's great. I like the light weight and the security of the zipper. Folding cash before slipping it into the wallet takes a bit of getting used to, but that's no big deal. The only thing I can think of that would make it better would be a clear ID window on the outside of the wallet.

I'll admit it, when the nylon Lynx arrived, I wasn't very impressed. I have a hybrid leather Monte Cougar that I've come to adore, and the Lynx seemed pale by comparison, despite the beautiful vibrant purple color. Then I loaded it up.

I debated so long about which wallet to buy and was afraid that I would find that a skinny wallet wouldn't work for me. This Lynx wallet turned out to be the perfect one for me.

Lynx Wallet - Happy with this choice
January 3, 2014
After my husband received a Big Skinny wallet for Christmas last year, I just had to get one for myself. This really pretty purple wallet has noticeably reduced the weight I am carrying around in my purse. Now if Big Skinny could start making lightweight, stylish purses, I would be the first in line to give it a try. Anyway, the zippers are durable. I can carry all those silly membership cards easily and I really like the wallet.

Amazing wallet
December 5, 2013
I love this wallet. I wanted a small wallet that would hold all of my essential cards, and this wallet delivers. It even has room for my flat multi-tool. The zippered compartment for cash and coins is indispensable. The sleakness of the microfiber material makes it so that I can slip my wallet into and out of my purse or coat pocket quickly and easily. It's high quality because it doesn't fray over time like other lightweight, microfiber wallets. When I open the wallet, the cards don't slide out!!! What's not to like about this wallet?

Lynx electric purple
November 21, 2013
Now that I have had time (2.5 months) to rate my new Lynx wallet, I wanted to say that I do love it. It holds all my cards, cash and change. It's sooooooooo much thinner, lighter and more compact (with room to spare) than the leather one I used to carry. It takes up much less room in my purse and can easily fit in a pocket. Plus the zipper keeps everything inside. Perfect size and weight (even with lots of coins in the change pocket which can make it heavy if you load it up, but it's still lighter/thinner than a leather wallet with the same amount of change.) The outside loop is a great idea for attaching keys or attaching it to the inside of your purse.

Excellent wallet
October 20, 2013
This is my second Lynx wallet. Initially I bought the red one and was very happy with its small size, light weight and capacity to hold many cards as well as money and other things, like a small pen. The coin pocket is handy and a definite asset of the Lynx. The only flaw was that the fabric at the side of the coin pocket frayed after a while. When the range of colours was expanded, I got the Lynx in electric purple - the colour is even more gorgeous up close. Also, the finishing of the coin pocket has been improved so that it won't fray. This wallet is now perfect.

WOW! It stays "skinny" even when packed with all of my membership cards and medical cards and a couple of credit cards and forms of ID, and a few folded bits of currency! I can find everything easily. Easy in/out for items, too. So far, zipper is holding, as is the nylon cloth. LOVE IT! Highly recommend.

Great quality, compact. Stays skinny even when packed, &it holds a lot. Would like to see a clear outside pocket. Coin holder is a nice addition. Great for tucking into my pocket for those days when you don't want to carry a purse. Will order more for gifts.

Really adore this product line for its versatility. I don't carry a purse. Stopped 30 years after getting one stolen and leaving mine all over the place. Inside pockets are the way to go and something small, functional and lightweight is fully appreciated. Have 3 of these now. Great stuff.

Wow! I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I do because I didn't think it would be ALL the company said it is but was I wrong! It REALLY does fit several cards and remains very skinny in the process. I love this wallet and am really happy with the purchase. For any doubters out there, I'm telling ya...this is really what it's advertised to be!

October 15, 2012
Couldn't be happier with this purchase. I'd been looking for a wallet small enough for my pocket that could fit in my most used cards, cash, and some change, and this went way beyond my expectations. All of my cards fit in with room to spare - made me almost want to sign up for more of those points cards shops give out, just because I could! Highly recommend this wallet (in fact, my sister's planning to buy one in red in the near future).

I love my new Lynx zippered wallet. I got the red color. It is nylon and at first I wished I had gotten the bigger size in red leather. However, now I am glad I stuck with this size. It is so versatile; I can put it in my pocket, place it in my regular sized purse in the small zippered opening inside, or in my mini-crossbag and it takes up no room at all. Every single item that was in my old huge wallet fits in this wallet - every business card, credit card, coins, currency, receipts, photos, receipts, etc. I highly recommend it. Thanks, Big Skinny!

Lots of room for what you need!
September 16, 2012
I love this wallet...well-made, and enough room for everything I need. I would have loved it to be just a tad smaller so that I could shove it in my back pocket, but still giving it 5 stars because it lives up to its description. Good job Big Skinny!

September 8, 2012
This does what it claims-- fits lots of stuff, and is still SKINNY! I had one of those aluminum wallets-- it was good, but a little bulky, and one day at the check-out line I dropped it, and even though it was closed, it popped open and my cards went all over the place! If I DO drop *this* wallet when it's closed, I won't have that problem. I would have bought this wallet years ago if I had known that it existed, but I didn't find it until one day I Googled "thin wallets", and there you were! Yay!

I love that this wallet zips completely and keeps everything totally protected. It is incredibly roomy inside and has plenty of space for all my cards, cash and receipts. The zippered change compartment is also very handy.

August 2, 2012
Ordered this because I loved that it could be zipped up to keep items from falling out. I was skeptical when it arrived but I like it more and more the longer I use it. It holds everything I need including flashdrive and lipsick. My keeps can be hooked on the outside and it fits in my pocket. I am so glad I bought it. Thank you.

I bought my Lynx wallet at a street fair. I absolutely love it. I am very hard on purses and wallets, and this one has taken a beating. I change purses, I drop it, I overstuff it. It really holds a lot and I use all the pockets. After more than two years, I am ordering a new one only because I managed to fit in a small pen and it finally poked a hole in the bottom (my fault). I recommend it to anyone who wants something lightweight, inexpensive and very sturdy.
