Great poduct.Great price.
December 3, 2017
I bought the bifold billfold several years ago. Many years ago. Still in good shape for what I put it through.They really last. I decided to up grade to the wallet. I have not yet put into service. I want to buy some the plastic card holders to use in the middle. (Medical cards and wife's picture). I like the looks of it. Like the size. I do use the secret pockets. Great for out of site out of mind. Thank for a great product.
Pros
  • Long wear material. Does not stain when sweat thru. Dries fast. Thinner than leather.
Cons
  • Being a dark color. I some time don't see it. Right in front of me, but that just me.

The best you can do for a skinny world wallet
November 24, 2017
This is a great wallet when you need to travel overseas and fit pounds, euros, yen, et al into your wallet. It's a bit larger than my usual big skinny wallet (curve). The extra size is unfortunately needed to fit in a wide varieties of currencies. As is the usual quality from bigskinny it is durable and thin.
Pros
  • Thin, fits all international currencies
Cons
  • Height is larger than some of the small bigskinny wallets

This is my second Big Skinny. The first lasted nearly 6 years of constant use. In that time they have changed slightly but the new one is fabulous. I have one small comment and that is I do not like the sewn on Big Skinny oval on the outside. I fear it will wear out trousers and I think it is unnecessary. Put the name on the inside!
Pros
  • Size
Cons
  • Big Skinny badge in the outside

A great product
May 27, 2017
I needed a slimmer wallet, and this piqued my interest. I ordered it , and it arrived quickly. I immediately put it to use, and I must say it has met all my expectations. Thin, we'll constructed, light, and plenty of slots for all my cards. The only question is durability, for which only time will tell. I expect to be pleased on that score as well.

Fits all currency; a bit bulky in the pocket
May 5, 2017
I switched to this wallet from my previous US-centric Big Skinny (which had worn out after many years) because I live in Europe at the moment and the 100 euro notes do not fit into the standard BS wallet. As promised, this wallet is tall enough to fit anything. It also gives a couple more card pockets. I keep my wallet in my front pocket, and so this one does end up being a bit unshapely there. Not a big deal for me but something that may be a consideration for some.
Pros
  • Fits all currency notes. Extra card pockets.
Cons
  • Width makes it a bit bulky when kept in the front pocket.

Big bank note slot
January 15, 2017
It's very easy to put in / remove bank note from the wallet. Card slots a a little tight but okay.
Pros
  • Thin, light weight, strong
Cons
  • Coin slot is quite small, but still okay :D

Love My Big Skinny!
August 15, 2016
This wallet is very functional and does seem to magically eliminate the bulk of my previous wallet. To me it only has one minor design flaw which is why I could not rate it 5 stars: the small but bumpy Big Skinny logo on the exterior. I would prefer the exterior unadorned (just litho a small logo inside the wallet for the brand reminder).
Pros
  • Durable.
  • Roomy.
  • Well constructed.
  • Skinny!
Cons
  • Bumpy small logo attached to the exterior.

Just what I'd hoped
July 18, 2016
I ordered this wallet because I was tired of the old wallets that bunched up and made it feel like I was sitting on a rock. I also tried a side-pocket wallet, but it ruined the line of the pants I used it in. This wallet works because of the large dimensions and the very thin and tough material. The number of credit card slots is perfect for me and distributes the bulk of contents across the whole height, contributing to the lean profile.

Good skinny wallet that holds a lot without being bulky. My last Big Skinny lasted a couple years. These wallets hold up well for their cost.

No more lump in pocket

The wallet did exactly as advertised. Previous wallet was easily 3/4" thick, Big Skinny wallet is half that. A lot more comfortable when I sit down. Thanks!

Disappointing
May 23, 2016
I have a Big Skinny super thin wallet that stores the credit cards in the opposite direction that this one does. I works excellent, but the area where the paper money is stored could be a little longer, so I thought I would try this wallet. No matter how I arrange the credit cards, I always end up with a 'lump' in the middle, so the end result is a wallet no where near as this as the one I am using. I tried it for 3 days, then gave up and went back to the first one.

Merchant Response:Hi Mike, Glad your original Big Skinny Super Skinny will still work for you. Yeah, I think you already have the best model for the flattest, slimmest arrangement. Please don't hesitate to return the World wallet for a full-refund! We want every customer to be thrilled with their purchase! At your earliest convenience, please contact our customer service team at 1.888.844.6925 or email bigskinny@customerstatus.com and they will be happy to facilitate an exchange for you. Kindest regards, Big Skinny

Best wallet
March 16, 2016
I purchased mine in NYC in 2011, after almost 6 years still using it. Its thin, but strong and Ive asked for another for my birthday only because I picked the logo off the front

Perfect middle-of-the-road wallet
March 12, 2016
I bought this wallet for my fiance for Christmas, and he absolutely loves everything about it. Like the many other BigSkinny products I've purchased for friends, family, and myself over the years, it's thin and durable with an attractive design, as well as lightweight, and designed with efficiency as a first priority. I'd highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a basic, no-frills thin wallet that is also long-lasting and dependable.
Pros
  • Thin
  • Durable
  • Attractive Design
  • Lightweight
Cons
  • None

10+ years and still working great
March 2, 2016
Bought this over 10 years ago before moving abroad and I'm still using it. Other than a very small soft wire poking out (which I could easily cut) and the zipper handle thing breaking in half (but still definitely useable), this wallet has stood the test of time. I keep going to buy another one, but I know that I won't need one for another 10 years or so.
Pros
  • skinny, durable, lots of pockets, zipper pouch, fits all currencies, so many pockets

Groter dan verwacht
February 21, 2016
De kwaliteit die ik verwachtte van BigSkinny wallets. Mijn vorige aankoop de multipocket bifold wallet steken de 50euro biljetten bovenuit. Toen deze versleten was wilde ik een grotere, want bigskinny maakt wel zeer goede wallets. Deze world bifold wallet is groter dan mijn vorige en hierin verdwijnen al mijn bankbiljetten makkelijk. Beter is om wederom een multipocket bifold te kopen en de vijftigjes er dubbelgevouwen in te steken. Zo passen ze goed en de portemonee past gemakkelijker in je broekzak.

Merchant Response:Hallo Willy, Dank u voor uw beoordeling! Onze wereld-portemonnee is groter omdat is geschikt voor verschillende valutas. Big Skinny

Perfect wallet for me
February 9, 2016
I love this wallet so far. I've had it for about a month and I've already purchased another for my father, who wanted one when he saw mine.
Pros
  • Quality build
  • Nice feel/texture
  • Very Slim (even holding lots of bills)
Cons
  • I removed the logo because it sticks up and catches on things. Once it's off it's perfect.
By Christian M.

Loved it at first
February 7, 2016
First let me tell you how much I love the design approach of your wallets. I was so impressed that I had one of these shipped to Germany and recommended them to my friends who turned into your customers as well. I write this because I care about your product, please dont feel offended. I had a World Bifold Wallet for several years now in the back pocket of my jeans, and used it during my office job. No rough outdoor treatment. And it starts to show signs of wear and tear now. That is unfortunate but acceptable. But what really lets me hesitate to buy a new one is that it broke several of my cards during the years. The way I see it there are 3 reasons for that: Not enough stability: It is so thin that when you sit on it, the cards bend and get small cracks. Every few years I had to replace "broken" cards. I would rather sacrifice a little thinness for a layer of stability. This was a new card that just lived in my wallet and was pulled out no more than 10 times. It has cracks now and the picture of my face is not readable any more. The rubber coating is too sticky: On top of the nylon you applied a rubber like coating that prevents cards from falling out. Unfortunately if you add a little humidity (or sweat) the cards tend to stick and loose a little of their surface each time you "pull" them out. Same goes for the see through plastic window. It literally held onto the printing of my public transit tickets, which made it useless after a while. The Big Skinny rubber logo and the coins: These irregular shaped objects with hard edges apply pressure on small parts of the card which causes weak spots after a while. The coin pocket should have an extendable flap on both sides so you could look inside I would be happy if you could recommend me a wallet that is similar to the World Bifold Wallet but with more stability and less aggressive rubber coating so I can be a returning customer.

Merchant Response:Hi Christian, Thank you for your in-depth review! Hmmm, as far as recommending a wallet similar to the World Wallet---I would say give our Traveler Wallet a go http://www.bigskinny.net/travel-wallet-new.html still has the zippered pocket OR our Plus Sized MyPhone Wallet which has a nice big zipper pocket (for all the Euro coins) http://www.bigskinny.net/plus-sized-myphone-wallet-wrislet.html Hope this helps! Thank you again for your feedback! Have a great day! Big Skinny
Pros
  • Really nice layout and design

World bi-fold mens wallet
February 2, 2016
Have used the wallet for about a month and I love the space for all my cards. The thinnest wallet I have ever owned. I'm hoping that the wallet will stretch out a little after using the card pockets. My cards fit, but are hard to remove right now.I do like the huge pockets for paper money.

Great Wallet
February 2, 2016
I was a skeptic. I have a lot of stuff in my wallet and it has always been big. I have been looking at these for a while now but didn't think they could make good on the promise. I was wrong. Everything I had in my old wallet is in my new one and it is less than half as thick. On top of that, the build quality is excellent. I am impressed.

I like it better than most, but it still lumps in the middle
February 2, 2016
Because of the staggered layer of cards, every single one ends up stacking in the middle. I would really like to see one which stored the cards vertically (side by side) so the actual thickness would be cut in half.

Merchant Response:Hi Craig, Thank you for your feedback! Funny you should mention storing the cards vertically (side-by-side) because that is exactly how our Super Skinny model is arranged---or our Hipster Bi-Fold (slightly different arrangement) but same idea of separating the decks of cards so the wallet ends up being slimmer and more flat. Available here: http://www.bigskinny.net/wallet-super-skinny-horizontal-pockets.html & http://www.bigskinny.net/wallet-bifold-hipster.html We want every customer to be thrilled with their purchase! At your earliest convenience, please contact our customer service team at 1.888.844.6925 or email bigskinny@customerstatus.com and they will be happy to facilitate an exchange for you. Kindest regards, Big Skinny
Pros
  • Durable, thinner than most every other wallet I've had.
Cons
  • Could be thinner with different card storage. As it is it's no thinner and twice as wide as my last wallet (which was falling apart) with the same number of cards.

TOO BIG
January 9, 2016
Thought I was buying the same one I got before, but this one is very large...

Merchant Response:Hi Adina, Thank you for your feedback! Perhaps you had the Multi-Pocket Bi-fold wallet previously? It is smaller than our World Wallet. At your earliest convenience, please contact our customer service team at bigskinny@customerstatus.com or via telephone at 1.888.844.6925 and they will be happy to facilitate an exchange for you. Have a great day! Big Skinny

Great - but logo is too thick
January 1, 2016
Excellent. One suggestion; the logo should be embossed or imprinted, not a thick sew on patch. - just being overly picky, not a major complaint overall.
Cons

Great for Truck Drivers
November 30, 2015
This is my second Big Skinny wallet. As a truck driver I am always taking my wallet out of my pocket when driving. With Big Skinny I don't have to do that and they hold up great my last one had a zipper and 18 months later the zipper broke but the wallet is still great!

Sometimes I forget it's in my pocket
November 15, 2015
My old wallet was just a standard trifold leather wallet, but in comparison to the big skinny wallet my old one just seems obnoxiously thick. For the first week of owning the big skinny wallet, I would compulsively reach to my pockets and check if I even had it on me because I couldn't feel the usual giant wallet bulge on my leg. Great product, couldn't be happier with it.

Fourth Big Skinny Wallet - not so good this time
October 1, 2015
I have been using Big Skinny wallets for a while now. I have been very happy up to now. I have a World Bifold, and it seems that the "sticky stuff" isn't working as well. The bottom slot on the left side is a particular problem. I'm going to keep it until they get this size in an RFID format, then I guess I'll buy IT and hope for the best.

Merchant Response:Hi Guitarplayer 575, Thank you for your review! We have many more styles coming out in RFID-blocking material now! We want all of our customers to be happy & satisfied with their purchase! 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 facilitate an exchange or return for you.

I gave this to my husband for his birthday to replace his old bulky wallet that he carried. He has carried it for a week now and is really impressed with it so far. He said it fits well in his pocket and more comfortable to carry than his old wallet.
Pros
  • The wallet is slimmer than my old one, making it more comfortable to carry in my back pocket.
Cons
  • It has an odor, like plastic, at least at first.

Good but not perfect
August 1, 2015
I bought two of these--one for me and one for husband, both in black. He loves his. He has one card in every slot, so it's super thin, as thin as his previous leather wallet without any cards in it. Mine isn't so thin due to the amount of cards I put in it. And it actually gets wet from sweat this summer--I kind of wish I got leather, even though that would make it a tiny bit thicker. Not worth the shipping to exhange. I also don't like the awkward lines from some of the paper noted that sit in the cash pocket that go through the wallet fabric. This would also be solved with leather I think. For women who put wallets in their back pocket or men who do the same wearing women's jeans, it just barely fits in all my pairs of the "fancy" work pants. Fits in my jeans pocket without a problem. If you have a lot of cards and man-sized pockets, I'd really recommend the one that has the two card slots that sit side by side to reduce bulk, since it's as thick as all the cards, where they all overlap and closes awkwardly because it only touches at that spot where they all overlap. That just wouldn't fit in my pockets though. The slots are tight and you won't easily get more than two in each slot. Having more than one in each is kind of annoying. When I take my license out of the clear one, it gets stuck on the overlap of fabric, which isn't securely sewn down at the lower edge of the fold. The separating fabric between the two cash slots is so flimsy, it gets in the way when putting cash in it. It should be stiffened. I like it overall, but I'm definitely eager to get rid of some of the gift cards I have to make it thinner. I have 20 cards in it. I recommend no more than 14 for a good, comfortable fit and to quickly get them in and out. If you don't mind the awkward bulk on the outside (or get it in leather) and don't mind the extra second and effort it takes to get cards in and out, it works just fine. The first two photos I attached it what it looks like when closed.

Merchant Response:Hi Angela, Thank you for your feedback & in-depth review! The wallet pockets will loosen with use, but in the meantime we recommend sprinkling a tiny bit of cornstarch on the cards & that should help with cards feeling too tight in the pockets. Thank you! Big Skinny
Pros
  • Thinner than many wallets, Overall good design, mostly well-made
Cons
  • License gets stuck on overlap of fabric at clear slot, can only fit 2 cards per slot, cash slot separater is flimsy and hard to get cash on either side into it, logo sticks out

I use this wallet to carry business cards and cards other than charge cards like membership cards. I can't get it all in one wallet.

  • Bends in the middle so it conforms when I sit. Thus, less bulky.
Cons
  • None

As promised, very thin and I like it.
June 29, 2015
So far very good. It holds everything that my old wallet held and is still much thinner. I hoping that the material used lasts.
Pros
  • Thin, lightweight, well organized pockets.
Cons
  • Nothing to do with the wallet. Free shipping took a very long time, and still was two days past the scheduled date. Other online free shipping are considerably faster.

I'm a big skinny wallet fan, this was my 2nd purchase, I had to send it back because it was just too big for me, I'm in the process of exchanging it for the multi pocket bi-fold wallet which I love, love,love! The world bifold is excellent, I just don't need the storage space it offers.
Pros
  • Plenty of pockets for multiple cards.
Cons
  • None whatsoever.

What a great wallet !
May 24, 2015
Super thin and holds everything my previous wallet held. It will take a while to get used to it in your pocket as it fools you into thinking you left your wallet at home !!! My only comment would be for the company to produce this product in the USA.

What I was looking for
April 26, 2015
I needed a wallet that spread the contents out enough to be as thin as possible. I sometimes have to carry receipts for a few days and that adds thickness. The Big Skinny is the thinnest I have ever tried. It does get a little loose with use so I find myself watching to see if the credit cards are about to fall out but so far haven't come close to it.

Merchant Response:Hi Elwyn, Thank you so much for the review! All of our pockets come lined with a rubberized interior to prevent cards from falling out -also each card slot can hold up to 3-5 plastic cards. Have a great day! Big Skinny
Pros
  • Thin
Cons
  • Card slots seem to get loose with usa.

I'm sorry I didn't read the dimensions more closely. It is big and square --- not the size of a normal man's wallet. I am pretty sure that my husband will never use it :-(

Merchant Response:Hi Spring, Thank you for your review! No worries! You can always exchange the wallet or simply return it at your earliest convenience. Our most popular men's wallet is the Multi-Pocket or the Tri-fold, perhaps your husband would like to try one of those styles? Talk soon, Big Skinny

Slim, Sleek and Very Effective
March 30, 2015
This nylon World Bi-fold Wallet is so impressive! I needed a very slim, lightweight wallet with the card sections upright to use as a divider in my very expensive smaller purse. I was getting ready to make one myself because I couldn't find the right wallet. I took a chance on this one and it worked perfectly! I can't thank you enough for making it for me. I prefer to leave the wallet inside my purse, opened up, so that I can reach in and take out the cards or put in dollar bills. The cards have to be situated right side up for this to be effective and everything about this wallet does that. I was amazed at how thin the wallet really was when it arrived. I was using a plastic baggie beforehand and was finally able to replace it with this. Love it!

I've had this wallet for a few years now and it's still as good as when I first bought it. It replaced a fat leather tri-fold wallet that looked ridiculous when it was in my pants pocket. The Big Skinny one is much better. Thin, sturdy and well worth the money.
