Happy Hubby
February 2, 2016
My husband had a wallet for several years that was so thick it caused him hip and lower back pain over time. As a truck driver, he was forced to sit for hours on end. He said he'd like a new wallet for Christmas. After browsing online, I came across the Hybrid L-Shape wallet from Big Skinny. The price was reasonable and after reading reviews, I decided to give it a try. My husband loves the wallet and has not complained of back or hip pain since Christmas. He said its a major improvement.
Pros
  • Price was reasonable and the thickness of the wallet was just what he wanted.

Quality product at a great price!

Gave this wallet as a Christmas gift to my husband. He is very pleased. He immediately switched all his stuff from the old one.
Pros
  • Would definitely recommend this product.
Cons
  • The only thing my husband said was that he would be glad when the slickness wore off.
  • He is afraid it might slip out of his pocket.....but hopefully the leather will wear down soon.

December 10, 2015
Needed something a bit bigger than the bifold but longer than the World. Tried this. I think I'd go back to the World (but wish it were a tad longer so bills fit in it better) (also wish it had the bill divider). Still searching for the perfect wallet, but Big Skinny comes close.
Pros
  • thin
Cons
  • want more distinct slots so i can see the top edges of my different cards. Also want front/bottom slots with plastic face so I can use them for IDs.

Love this Wallet! But why not RFID?
December 3, 2015
I love this wallet because of the extra flap which gives me extra room for cards. I also appreciate the divided cash area. It holds a lot but still folds thin!

Merchant Response:Hi David! Thank you for your feedback! Will have L-Fold in RFID-blocking material soon! Happy Holidays! -Big Skinny
Pros
  • Lots of room but very thin. Very durable!
Cons
  • I want an RFID version!! Please?

Nice wallet, not so skinny
November 18, 2015
I moved all of my cards from my old Skinny and pitched a few. New one is fatter than the previous one. Card pockets work fine. I like the dual bill holder, if i can remember that 1's and 5's go in the back.

Merchant Response:Hi Steve, Thank you for your review! The L-Shape Wallet is not our thinnest wallet. Sounds like you may want to try our Multi Pocket Bi-Fold or our Super Skinny- for the thinnest wallet experience you can achieve. We want everyone to LOVE their Big Skinny wallet -so operators are standing by to assist with an exchange at your earliest convenience! Have a great day & Happy Holidays! Big Skinny

Great wallet

A few minor issues hold this back from being great
November 5, 2015
I got this wallet to replace an earlier Big Skinny wallet that I had, and really enjoy it. While it isn't as slim as it seems once you start putting stuff in it, it still is a great wallet. I would happily give it a 5 star rating if they made two minor adjustments to it and added an optional feature. While I love the fact that it has two ID slots, handy for driver's license and work ID, it would be great if they would have added a credit card slot above both IDs. It's a small addition that could really help. Second, unlike in the photos when you lift up the left ID the lower card slot isn't a v cut but a straight cut and much higher than shown. This effectively hides any cards that you might put there, see attached photo -- do I have a card in that lower pouch? Other than that it would be nice if they had an RFID version of it. Other than those complaints I would highly recommend this wallet.

Merchant Response:Hi Damon, Thank you for your feedback! We hope to have the RFID version of this wallet soon! Have a fantastic day! Big Skinny
Pros
  • Light
  • Quality feel
  • Lots of storage space
  • 2 ID slots
Cons
  • Some pouches are easier to get to than others
  • Once stuffed not as slim as you might expect, though it is slimmer than normal wallets if that makes any sense.
  • Not RFID blocking

Great Design, Thin and Durable
October 26, 2015
I am a long time customer of Big Skinny wallets. I was introduced to the product at craft fair. Since then I only buy and use their wallets, and have purchased them as gifts. They are surprising durable considering how thin they are. They are thoughtfully designed and have nothing extra to add weight and bulk. Just enough compartments to store your stuff without creating a bulge in your pocket.

Awesome wallet but....
September 26, 2015
I love this wallet, not too thick, not too thin. If I could change anything about it, I would rather not have the bill divider... It is not a deal breaker but I prefer my wallets without them. Is there any chance that can become an option, to get one without?
Pros
  • A+ for style and durability
Cons
  • A- for the bill divider

Nice wallet
September 1, 2015
I got the leather hybrid L-shape wallet for my husband because I love my BigSkinny wallets and I know he likes the look of leather but hates a fat wallet in his back pocket. As it turns out, his former wallet was like 4x5 with lots of card slots, so he didn't experienced the dramatic "skinny" that I did when I changed over. I thought about getting the Hipster, which is more the size of his former wallet, but I didn't think he would like having so many cards in a pocket to sort through whenever he wanted one. With the L-shape, I showed him how organizing 3 or so cards per pocket actually makes them easier to find. Membership cards in one, debit cards in another, credit cards in individual slots... and he does like his new wallet.
Pros
  • Extra large card slots so no tugging to get them out
  • Rubberized slots so cards don't fall out
  • Attractive

Review for Leather Hydrid L Shaped Wallet
September 1, 2015
It's difficult to satisfy my wallet requirements because I carry it in my front pocket. I'm always looking for a thinner, smaller wallet that would accommodate a lot of cards and a few hundred dollars. I thought I had a thin wallet before but when I received the Big Skinny and transferred everything over to it from my other wallet, I saved almost a half inch. Doesn't sound like much but it made a big difference to me. Also, the wallet closes easy. There wasn't any spring loaded action whereby I had to hold it in the closed position. I do like it very much but the next test is will it last. So far, so good.

Merchant Response:Hi James, Thank you for your review! We will have this style in RFID-Blocking soon! Join our email list for updates :) Big Skinny
Pros
  • Great price to go along with the great wallet. Also, they have terrific customer service. I've called a couple of times and got to talk to a person quickly.I read a lot of reviews before purchasing and found the negative comments unfounded.
Cons
  • None of my credit cards are RFID so I didn't need the protection. If I ever do, I hope this company makes this same wallet with this protection

Not so skinny and more
July 16, 2015
First the more... I opened the package to find a nice wallet, but then I saw the return policy. If unsatisfied in any way..... and then the rest says, "return it UNUSED aND RE-SELLABLE within 30 days of purchase......" are you kidding with this? How can I get to the point of trying it if I have to keep it unused? Your return policy should say return the wallet period in whatever condition because if it doesn't last 30 days or if I do return it, you shouldn't be re-selling it as new anyway. Now onto the "not so skinny" part. I filled your larger wallet with the same cards and such that my tri-fold had and while a little better organized the thickness is the same and the wallet is now larger in length and width. Not quite as advertised, but I can't return it because now i've used it. I would not recommend this product except for as a replacement wallet only and I only have 15 cards in it.

Merchant Response:Hi Sagolf100, Thank you for your feedback. The Leather L-Shape wallet is one of our thickest models & is really meant for people that need easy access to more than one ID at a time. Also of note, all of our wallets come with a 1Year Warranty for materials & workmanship. We are more than happy to send a replacement out to you! Or if you'd like to try one of our thinner models that carries up to 25 plastic cards we recommend the Multi Pocket Bi-fold or the Hipster Bi-fold. We have a wallet for everyone! And we want everyone to be happy with their purchase :) A member of our customer service team will be reaching out to you momentarily. Thank you again for your review. Have a great day! Big Skinny
Pros
  • Fairly good looking organized wallet
Cons
  • No difference in thickness when filled with cards.

Big Skinny put's on weight!
July 13, 2015
My experience has been that the Big Skinny Hybrid L Shape Wallet is NOT as skinny as I had hoped. By the time I removed items from my old wallet and transferred them to my new Big Skinny (BS), the new wallet was almost as fat as my old one. I have also found the divided area for bills to be a bit inconvenient. When trying to get my green bills into the proper place in my B.S. it is sometimes difficult cause they get stuck between the divider. I was lead to believe that all credit card pockets were larger thus making it easier to get them in and out of the wallet. Some are wider but barely deep enough to keep a card in place. Overall there are some positives the B.S. offers, I'm just not sure that they justify the cost.

Merchant Response:Hi Chris, Thank you for your feedback! The Leather Hybrid L-Shape wallet is one of our thickest styles and really only meant for customers that need convenient access to more than one ID at a time. We want everyone to be happy 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 more than happy to facilitate an exchange for you :) We think you might be more satisfied with our Hipster Bi-fold or our Multi Pocket Bi-fold.

Husband always complaining about his wallet and he tears them up because he stuffs so much into them. He's impressed with this. Got all his stuff in and it is not bulky. He was skeptical at first about the quality. No more, he couldn't believe the quality for the price

Extra "bulge" gone!
June 26, 2015
While my husband is still getting used to the smaller profile, I like the lack of extra "bulge" in his pocket. He is a front pocket carrier due to our frequent travels, and I notice the smoother look with less bagging to his trousers.
Pros
  • Weight, size, color
By Jody

So far so good.
June 23, 2015
I'm please with the wallet. It's much thinner with no downsides so far. It's everything they say it is. I will say that (due to my lack of vigilance) that by the time shipping was added and a bad exchange rate I paid a fair bit more for it than I had budgeted for a wallet but If I lived in the US I wouldn't hesitate to guy this at all.
Pros
  • Thin, well built, fit all my card in it.
Cons
  • So far..nothing really.

Another Excellent Product
June 22, 2015
I had been previously using the non-leather L-Shape wallet which has served me well over the last couple of years. The only problem with it, and while it was minor, when in business clothes when pulling the wallet out around coworkers, it did not provide a business appearance. However, with the Leather Hybrid L-Shape Wallet it provides that more traditional leather look while at the same time providing the same great functionality I've been used to the past few years with the non-leather version.
Pros
  • - Great Looks
  • - Great Functionality
Cons
  • None

Very Impressed
June 18, 2015
I have to say I'm really impressed with the Leather Hybrid L-Shape. I measured my old wallet at 2 inches thick and with exactly the same things in it the Big Skinny is 1 inch thick even prior to breaking it in! My butt is going to be thanking you guys for a long time.
Pros
  • - Excellent construction quality.
  • - Realistically-sized card pockets! No more struggling to get normal sized cards in and out (even with multiples!)
  • - Very nice leather
  • - Eats prodigious amounts of stuff!
Cons
  • Not really a con but I just wish it had one more internal flap with a few more card pockets so I didn't have to double-up as often. May have to pick up an insert.

This is the second l shaped wallet I have purchased from Big Skinny . I love this design. I have had my first wallet about 5 years or so. The only problem I had was the divider in the bill section tore out after a year or so .. I am still using this wallet and it is in pretty good shape but I bought the new one to have in reserve for when the first one wears out..

Not as good as previous model
June 11, 2015
I bought this wallet to replace the old BigSkinny wallet I had used for several years and was starting to look a little worn. This one has an extra flap that makes it thicker than the old design, so it's really not that much "skinnier" than a normal leather wallet. Also there are fewer card slots on each side (because the slots now exist on that extra flap). I liked the old design much better, but unfortunately BigSkinny discontinued it.

Merchant Response:Hi Jeff, Thank you for your feedback! We think you may like our Leather Multi-pocket or our Leather World Wallet style better -these styles still have a lot of pockets & fit 25-30 plastic cards and will have a thinner profile than the L-fold 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 weekend! Big Skinny
Pros
  • inexpensive
Cons
  • extra flap inside makes it too thick.
  • must flip up the extra flap to get to cards in the back - extra hassle when paying for something.

Love these wallets !
June 7, 2015
I bought one awhile ago for myself, different style. Loved it.. My husband needed a new wallet. Bought him the tri fold wallet. He loves it! Low profile, and carries many of his cards.. Deep pocket for cash.. My only complaint was shipping.. This happend with the wallet I had gotten myself. The company ships it quickly. But takes close to two weeks to get to our house. Unless you pay for faster shipping which is more expensive, be prepared to wait for a few weeks for your item.. And no the standard shipping was not free.

My fav wallet
June 4, 2015
I am really liking the wallet. I have only used two wallets before this. One was a gift that easy fell apart and the other had a logo of a video game I like but was really thick when empty. I chose this wallet since I didn't know whether to buy big or small, bifold or trifold and saw this wallet as something inbetween. I also really like that there was a leather option. My expectation was a little high, but over time I really saw how well and how much this wallet holds what I had it used for. It does what it is supposed to do.

Bought a women's wallet and then had to get my hubby one too. Holds everything from hid old big wallet and doesn't look like it has anything in it..

Its ok... but does not work like I wanted
May 21, 2015
Its ok, but I have to triple up cards to hold the same number of cards as old wallet. It might be a tinny bit thinner than the old one but if it is its hard to tell. I would not recommend this to anyone unless they have a very few cc cards and other cards so that they are one per slot.

Merchant Response:Hi Jason, Thank you for your review! Hmm, yeah if you are going for super thin & flat I would recommend the World Wallet or our Hipster Wallet(that splits your amount of cards into 4 separate decks). People often say with these models they are constantly checking their back pockets because it feels like nothing is there! Have a great day! Big Skinny
Pros
  • nice looking, would be thinner with just a few cards... but so would all wallets

Birthday gift for friend
May 19, 2015
I purchased the wallet as a birthday gift for friend and it was a timely gift exchange. While we were at lunch I gave him the wallet and he showed me his old wallet which was falling apart. Once he transferred all of the credit cards from his old wallet into the new Big Skinny wallet he was amazed and filled with gratitude. I think by eliminating the big bulge in his back pocket I may have corrected his chronic back pain, LOL.

I love Mine, But My Physical Therapist Hates It.
May 19, 2015
This wallet is just as advertised. Fully loaded and it is thinner than my old conventional wallet empty. My Physical Therapist probably doesn't like it because she told me the other day that fat wallets in mens back pockets creates back pain issues which provides a lot of work for her. Buy one and save your back.
Pros
  • well made, ingenious design, works as advertised, unexpected health benefits.
Cons
  • None so far

Product is as described. It is much thinner than an all leather wallet. Happy with purchase.
May 18, 2015
This wallet is well thought out and designed. You can buy an all leather wallet and pay more. Buying products on the official website I wish shipping was free for any purchase.
Pros
  • Good design and materials.
  • Thin size.
Cons
  • Free shipping with minimum purchase. All wallets should have free shipping.

May 10, 2015
I was just about to spend over $100 on a new wallet and thought I would try a Big Skinny. I saw a display at an outdoor market on a business trip to New York so I had some knowledge about the product. On receipt my initial impression was that maybe I had made a mistake but after using the wallet for a few weeks now I've been very impressed.
