Little Wallet, Big Surprise
May 21, 2017
At first, I thought this wallet looked a bit small. I cleaned out unnecessary cards and now carry it in my front pocket. Very convenient and lightweight.

Compact spoirts wallet
May 6, 2017
I am a police motor jock, and I carry my wallet in my front pocket. I started using these wallets while I was still doing freeway enforcement in a car. I was getting in and out of the car so much that my regular wallet kept rubbing a hole in my rear wallet pocket. I found these Big Skinny wallets as I was tired of replacing pants so frequently. I can carry my Big Skinny wallet in my front pocket or uniform shirt pocket with no bulk issue. Since I am out in the hot Texas sun so much, I sweat to no end. These wallets dry very quickly, so there's no issue. It's a great choice for people who work outdoors on a daily basis. I love it.
Pros
  • Dries quickly if wet. No bulk. No damage to clothing from rubbing issues.
Cons
  • None to speak of. My old Big Skinny wallet finally needed replacing, and my wife got me a different kind for Christmas. I used it for about 2 months before getting a new Big Skinny wallet as I disliked the bulkier wallet from my wife.

Really great wallet!
May 5, 2017
Love my Big Skinny wallet! Holds everything I had in my okd wallet and everything I need. Only concern is that if you don't have enough cards, they can be somewhat loose in the slot and can potentially fall out. Other than that, I'm really glad I bought it!
Pros
  • Compact and lite
Cons
  • Cards can be too loose in the slots if you dont have enough to fill them

Works SO much better
May 4, 2017
So much thinner. I cant believe it. I see someone with a fat wallet now and I just laugh. Why did I use a fat wallet for so long.
Pros
  • Um, its thinner.
Cons
  • Cant fit as much stuff in it. (which is a good thing)

HAD THIS FOR 10 YEARS.
April 25, 2017
Well, after at least 10 years, my original BS Compact Wallet is no longer holding cards. It still holds bills and my license just fine, but wore though the outer edge of the card pocket, so they're falling out. This wallet is kept mostly in my leather work bag these days, NOT in my back pocket or in my coat, so I'm not sure how it wore through the material (the reason I took away 1 star). I used to suffer from Costanza wallet, but the BS has given my back proper back alignment. I'm here to buy another one.
Pros
  • Really is thinner than most other wallets, even when filled to the brim
Cons
  • The only conn isn't with Big Skinny. It's how many minimalist wallets are on the market, including Kickstarter minimalist wallets that only hold 4-8 cards and folded cash only. They usually have some clever gimmick, but for the price, the BS holds MUCH more stuff. I have a cash & carry biz, and need to be able to carry enough bills to last all day making change for people.

I'm guessing I have owned this wallet for around 7 years. Best wallet ever. About to reorder a new one. Old one is still holding up well, just want a blue one :)

Merchant Response:Lookin good Josh! Thank you so much for your review! Have a wonderful weekend- Big Skinny
Pros
  • skinny and durable!!
Cons
  • i like to take the logo off.

Great so far!
August 6, 2016
The only reason I gave it 4 star is because I haven't had it all that long. Maybe 3 weeks. But so far I love it! It fits all 16 of my cards and money and still thin enough to easily fit in my front pocket. So far so good!

Returned it. It's plastic. Trading up for leather. Have yet to receive the exchange.
July 28, 2016
We love the leather Big Skinny. Sadly we ordered the vinyl one for our son. We've returned it but after 4+ weeks have yet to receive our leather exchange.

Merchant Response:Hi Andrea, Thank you for calling this to our attention! We are checking the status of your exchange now. A member of our customer service team will be reaching out to you momentarily. Have a wonderful weekend! Big Skinny

Best wallet ever!!
June 26, 2016
I was so tired of hearing my husband complain about his big bulky wallet that I surprised him with this for Father's Day. I researched the Web and like the reviews and price of this product. At first he was skeptical but after 1 week he says it's the best wallet ever! He says the only down side is that he's constantly patting to make sure he still has his wallet.
Pros
  • Perfect compact size able to carry ID, several credit cards, insurance/ personal cards, and cash.
Cons
  • Design is a little plain but that may be a positive for others.
By Robert A.

Exactly what I wanted.
June 17, 2016
It's a bit Skinny. Yeah I have to fold the occasional receipt, and I have to clean them out. However, I can hold my emergency money in the inside pockets, and plenty of cash and CCs in the other parts, AND a key behind my ID which has about 12 change of address stickers. Had it a while now, no sign of breaking down. Worth.

I never thought it was possible......
June 9, 2016
I never thought that it would be possible to reduce the thickness of my bulging wallet simply by changing brands but the Big Skinny has exceeded my expectations in EVERY respect. I finally have a wallet that can carry everything I need without the bulk of my former wallets. Well done Big Skinny!

Merchant Response:Thank you for your awesome review Steve! Have a great day! -Big Skinny
Pros
  • Does exactly what it says; it rediced my pocket clutter by at least 50%.
Cons
  • None at all; well accept that I had to wait for it to come from the US.

the best wallet.... ever
May 8, 2016
I own a large number of wallets, and the Compact Sports Wallet is the absolute best. I carry about 10 or 11 cards with me, but also quite a bit of cash (I try not to use credit cards if I can possibly help it to keep my digital profile as low as possible). This wallet easily accommodates all my cards, and would probably hold at least 20, without ANY break in period. It takes all these cards easily the first time you use the wallet. And it also holds quite a bit of cash easily, and makes retrieving bills very easy. The material is great, too, and the price is fantastic. It won't last forever - if you expect to carry this around for 10 or more years like your old trusty wallet, you might be a bit disappointed, but when you consider the price, it remains a great bargain. All in all, the best wallet I own, the one I carry most of the time, and definitely the one wallet i would keep if i could only keep one.
Pros
  • holds large number of cards
  • holds large amount of cash
  • great material
  • no break-in period required

Worth it

For the cost it's worth it, I had it for several weeks and no complaints. Holds cards and cash no problem at all.

Perfect for my needs
March 17, 2016
Unbelievably slim and lightweight, even when filled with the usual items. Maybe it would be nice if this was also available in leather... and I might even try th eversion where the cards slide in horizontally.

Bought 2009 - just now needs replacing
March 15, 2016
My husbands wallet is finally falling apart and he wants the exact same one. I searched in my email and I bought it for him in Nov. 2009. The material is just now starting to fall apart. Very amazed at how long it has lasted. Will be repurchasing the same one again!

Perfect Wallet, Really
February 4, 2016
I can fit everything I need into a wallet that I can actually leave in my pocket and sit on without even noticing. I was skeptical, but it really is perfect. No more "George Costanza" wallet.
Pros
  • Slim, large pockets, non-slip lining
Cons
  • More color choices would be nice

Light, Durable, and Worth the Buy
January 16, 2016
I bought one of these about six years ago. I wanted to switch to a front pocket wallet, and this one reviewed as small and thin. The thing is definitely tough and durable. I'm sure it's been through the wash at LEAST once since I've had it, and the outside still doesn't look too different from when I bought it. After three or four years, the rubber lining on the inside started to flake away, but I didn't really think of it as too major a fault or inconvenience. Enough of it has peeled out now that I'm thinking of replacing the wallet, though - and it will probably be with another model from Big Skinny!
Pros
  • Light, durable, as thin as advertised
Cons
  • Rubber lining wore out - but it took a few years, so it's hard to pin it on a material fault over age and treatment

Great Wallet

Really like this wallet's compact design, being machine washable is a big plus. I really wished they kept the "V" type of holder for the cards though. It made it easier to pull out credit cards.

My husband loves this
December 22, 2015
My husband loves this wallet! It's slim and keeps clutter out of the wallet. Today when I got the email to review the wallet I recalled never receiving the brown ones. I mistakenly ordered the blue first and had to place another order for the brown. I called customer service today and spoke with Terri. She confirmed they had been delivered to my PO box but since I did not get the order, she placed a replacement order to be shipped out. Now that's customer service! I will continue to do business with Big Skinny, not just because I like the products, but because of the awesome customer service. Of note, too bad the person that probably mistakenly got my original order wasn't honest enough to return them to the PO but maybe they will become Big Skinny customers as well. Thanks again Terri for great customer service!!!

Big Skinny Compact Wallet
September 30, 2015
I have had my wallet for about 4years. I really think the wallet is a real innovation. I have had a problem with my cards sliding out of the pockets and sprawling all over the floor in some of the busiest stores. This has been the only negative. I am ready to re-order and am happy to see the improvement of having a rubber coating to prevent the cards from falling out.
Pros
  • Thin profile
  • size is great

my second wallet
September 1, 2015
i bought one of these 11 months ago and loved it. the only problem was the stitching started coming apart at the top and bottom of the fold. since i keep my wallet in my front pocket-i do not sit on it-i did not understand why it started coming apart. the wallet has a 12 month warranty, so i returned it and was given a refund. i have bought the same wallet again, and i hope this one stays together longer. it is still the best wallet i have ever owned, and the warranty was honored with no questions or problems. bill

STILL looks GREAT after 4 years ! ! check out the pics
August 12, 2015
I've carried this wallet every day for 4 years and it has held up great - no tears or workmanship issues which i'm surprised since it's very sheer material and I'm relatively active. I thought it may slip out of my pocket since it's a rather slick material but that has never happened. GREAT wallet! I just snapped a few photos - again, 4yrs old; carried it everyday!

Merchant Response:Wow! T, Thank you for the fantastic review! This reminds us of when we're at a tradeshow selling our wallets and a previous customer stops by and shows everyone how great their wallet looks after 3-5 years of use! Thank you again! Big Skinny
Pros
  • see the pics - after carrying for 4 yrs; ps-no affiliation with the mfg. no incentive to post other than I like others that share such info.

Great wallet
August 1, 2015
This is a great wallet. I have between ID's, insurance cards & credit/debits cards 10 cards in this wallet and it doesn't create a bulge in my pant pocket.
Pros
  • Good quality
Cons
  • Slow to ship & crappy customer service
By Rob

Nice features but the width of the wallet does not accommodate store receipts, which are wider than money.
July 27, 2015
I am happy with all of the features of the wallet except the width. I like to keep store receipts in my wallet, not the shopping bag. I find that the receipts are too wide for the wallet, sticking out about 1/2 inch. It looks sloppy and damages the receipt.

Merchant Response:Hi Rob, Thank you for your review. You may want to try our classic Multi Pocket Bi-Fold which is slightly taller and fits receipts a lot better. Our Sport Wallet is our smallest wallet. Thank you again for your feedback! Kind regards, Big Skinny
Pros
  • thin, strong, right number of compartments
Cons
  • designed to allow money to fit, but slightly wider things such as receipts, stick out.

Compact Sports Wallet
May 31, 2015
For me these are just the best wallets. I bought a compact sports wallet years ago after Big Skinny discontinued the original Big Skinny wallet. Back then, the Compact Sports Wallet was a little shorter length and width-wise, and more than a couple bills stuck out of the wallet and I thought it was just a little on the small side. When I checked back in this year, I saw the current edition is a little bigger length and width-wise and now it is just about perfect. Nice and skinny and the right size!

Small size, Full abilities
March 19, 2015
This wallet is just what I was looking for, big enough for everything I need, small enough to not be able to accumulate more. I can fit about 8 cards (credit, ID, business, etc.) and ten bills or so with out much bulk. This frees up plenty of room in my pockets for comfort and convenience. If I start accumulating receipts or other business cards, it shows pretty quick and reminds me to clean it out. Once you go small, it is really convenient.
Pros
  • Size, Construction
Cons
  • needs more sticky stuff for the one open pocket for cards on the left side as it is open. SMALLER LOGO would be nice as well.

The slimmest, most comfortable wallet I have ever used! If I've known about it 10 years ago I would never had used any other leather wallet! That's how good and comfortable it is!
By neil
best wallet out there
August 22, 2014
i've tried dozens of wallets over the years and the Compact Sports Wallet is the best. no, it isn't leather and it isn't meant to impress others, but it will make your life easier. it is a perfect combination of slim and also spacious. ingenious construction at a great price. i can easily fit my 9 or 10 credit cards and a ton of bills, and it works just as well when you carry a minimal of stuff or when you stuff it full.

At last a real thin one!
June 24, 2014
For years I have been looking for a thinner wallet at local stores; until recently it did not occur to me to search the web; did that and found Big Skinny. This is by far the thinnest wallet I have ever had (Compact Sport all nylon). Loaded it with 11 cards/ID/registrations and several bills and I do not feel it in my pocket, being so lightweight and thin. Easy access to all cards/documents/bills, even without the V cut in the card slot (you should change the site picture if you no longer will make them that way). No complaints so far.

This is my second Big Skinney wallet. Like everything except the sewn-on rubber label which makes it "fatter". I removed it.

super thin wallet
May 9, 2014
This wallet has spaces for cards that are bigger than the cards, allowing one to put more than one card into a slot. And the material is thin nylon. All around great, thin wallet.

The best wallets available bar none. This is my second one purchased for my son. Mine is over 5 years old and it shows very little wear. I can see it lasting well over a decade. They are truly a great product!!!

Compact Sports Wallet
April 7, 2014
I've been buying Big Skinny wallets for years and I love this particular model. It is small and light but easily holds several cards and bills. It's perfect for both daily use and active sports use. It is durable too. I've tried two other lightweight wallets and stopped using them a few days after purchase. The Tyvek wallet creased, folded and bent so that it looked three years old after a couple days in my pocket. The wallet designed with a contour to fit in the pocket was way too bulky. If you want a truly compact, well made and durable wallet, Big Skinny is the only way to go. Their designs are well thought out and the quality of the materials and workmanship is excellent.
By Farhad M.
Almost perfect
February 28, 2014
I love my new Big Skinny wallet but it seems like I received an older model which does not have the triangular cut in the credit card pocket (which was the change I was going to suggest). In my wallet, the credit cards sink it so that only a 1/4 inch is available to grip the cards.
By Justin
skinny and functional
February 16, 2014
This wallet does everything it is supposed to. Holds the I'd and you can still read numbers of it. Holds businesses cats and debit credit cards with room to spare. It easily holds bills without them popping out the top. Best wallet I've ever had. I'll be buying a couple more for gifts.

Nice wallet
December 24, 2013
Holds enough cards for me - 6 + license and with about $100, still feels super thin. I repeatedly run my hand over my pocket to be sure I have my wallet.
By Gene M.
Very Nice Wallet, but
December 18, 2013
This was my newest in a fairly long line of Big Skinny wallets, for me and most of my family. Still a great wallet, but now comes with a strange rubbery bump for the logo, which catches on my pocket when going in and out. Had to slice it off. Didn't mind the old printed logo, but this thing gets in the way.

This is a great wallet. Super thin. Holds all my cards (12) Does not overlap cards (which causes them to break.)

Love this wallet
November 11, 2013
Just what I was looking for. Couldn't be thinner. And I think very classy in it's own way. Kind of funny going from a fancy leather wallets to this slimmed down sports-like wallet. Love pulling it out at business lunches. Feels very youthful.
