the best wallet i've ever owned
October 25, 2013
i've tried dozens of wallets, and this one is best. it isn't elegant or expensive, and it won't impress anyone with leather construction, but it is the most functional wallet i've ever found. it holds more cards (WAY more) and still retains a very thin profile, and is still able to pack on a large number of bills as well.

As advertised! Holds everything I would normally carry in a traditional wallet without the bulk. Hardly noticeable in my pocket (front or back) and friends are asking where I got it. Highly recommend.

Still great wallet after 2 year daily use
October 8, 2013
I've used Compact Sports Wallet for more than 2 years and am extremely happy with how much stuff it holds yet how little space it takes. What is advertised on BigSkinny's site is what you truly get = quality, durability, compact size, big pockets, lightweight, elegance...

Best small (large capacity) wallet I've owned
September 24, 2013
For me this is the perfect small large capacity wallet. I've stuffed mine with with 13 cards (total) in the two card/id window. In the storage slots underneath I have another 10 items on each side (business cards, rebate/coupons, library card, etc....) and I've put 20+ bills in the bill compartment and the bills do not stick out of the compartment like other small wallets. All of this and the wallet stays closed when you set it down rather than popping open. I don't understand the fuss of some others on the stitched on logo. it is very small and to me gives the wallet added character. Highly recommend!!

Exactly what I wanted

I've had the compact sports wallet for a year now and it is exactly what I wanted -- a simple, thin, water impervious wallet. Well done!

Excellent product
July 17, 2013
I bought this to replace the aluminum card wallet (as seen on TV) which was bulkier, did not hold as many cards and has had the plastic hinge broken twice. The sport wallet is about 1/2 - 3/4" thick fully loaded as I carry it with 'many' cards and maybe 15 pieces of folding cash. It's well made, lightweight and serves my purposes very well for front packet carry. It'd buy it again in a heartbeat. I got the all nylon version.

This is a great wallet for the minimalist. Thin,compact and not wasteful. I sometimes forget it's in my front pocket. It's a great useful wallet, and I always show it to my brother-in-law who has the "Costanza" wallet.

This is a very nice wallet. It is just big enough to hold cash - an exact fit. I got a bunch of 1's as change the other day and it sucked up 10+ bills with ease.

Big Skinny Wallet
June 7, 2013
Amazing wallet! Before for thinness I was using a photo album, originally from a thick leather wallet, to store my cards. Now with the Big Skinny Wallet, everything fits right in, better before and just as slim if not slimmer! I even have a place for cash, love it and would easily recommend to someone seeking a sleeker wallet.

Tough as nails wallet
May 4, 2013
I've originally owned one of your wallets for over five years, through three different jobs, with unique circumstances, to destroy the wallet through neglect. One job involved oilfield chemicals,(some highly caustic, solvents, etc.) and my wallet was still as strong, and seemed to shed that toxic hazard. License and cards seemed to crumble, though. The other jobs included high temperature environments, as well as me forgetting about the wallet being in articles of clothing, when doing laundry,(high heat wash cycle as well as long high heat dry cycle). Inadvertently, my wallet had started to fray.

big skinny sport wallet
April 15, 2013
I have tried a few different products, like that aluminum piece of ^%^$((). I even went to carrying 2 wallets, one for each back pocket. But this works wonders. It does what it says it will do. I had a George Castanza wallet and now I have something very reasonable that fits with great comfort.

Great, even for a woman
April 15, 2013
I bought this wallet for myself because I don't always want to carry a purse but I also don't want a huge bulge in my pocket. This wallet is wonderful!! I typically carry 10 plastic cards and about 10 bills and it's still super skinny. I carry it in my front pocket with minimal bulge. Thank you for this great product.

Ok, I know, the subject is a little corny. But it got your attention, right? Well, the compact sports wallet got my attention from a friend who introduced me to this wallet. She would use the term "practically perfect" and I have to agree, Julie.

I love this wallet. It's super thin and light and holds 10+ cards with ease. The only negative that I can see is the name and logo looks kinda ugly. I took care of that easily but removing the stitching on the logo and it came off with ease.

This was exactly what I was looking for in a wallet. A currency compartment, place for Id and several credit cards and two hidden pockets.
By John
Met my expectations
January 25, 2013
I wanted a small, thin wallet I could carry in my front pocket for security. This one meets my needs and is of good quality. The only negative I can think is is I wish it didn't have the thick Skinny Wallet logo which can catch on your pocket.

Skinny is Better
January 13, 2013
I was using a metal credit card money clip for compactness and this does the job with giving more room but not increasing the bulk in my pocket. I think it could be a little smaller in dimensions but I only carry 8 cards.

I dislike any kind of bulk in my pockets, and have gone through a few different wallets searching for the smallest, lightest I could find. This one is the best I've found so far, and I barely notice it's there. I've found myself checking with my hand a couple times to make sure I had my wallet on me.

At the risk of sounded too redundant, I love the lack of bulk with this wallet. I only wish I had all of the money back that I threw away on other smaller profile wallets that never did the job correctly. I purchased the larger version as well, just in case the compact couldn't handle the load, but the little guy is doing just fine. I carry 6-8 plastic cards, a license, a few assorted checks/receipts and anywhere from 20-30 bills and like I said, this little guy puts them all away neatly. I cannot attest to the longevity since I just took delivery a few weeks ago but I can say that I am VERY happy with the wallet so far and if I get a couple years of use out of it, I will buy another one.

Compact Sports Wallet is awesome
January 2, 2013
I was a little skeptical given the low price but ordered anyway. Definitely happy with my purchase now though. I've had it for a few weeks and can vouch for the initial quality being very good. The wallet is crazy small but fits all the cards I have. I carry three credit/debit cards in the front left pocket, my license and a couple of insurance cards in the front right pocket, and two very thick, magnetic door key cards in the pocket in the back. All fit just fine and do not make the wallet feel even 1/4 as bulky as my previous wallet. Great product!

With the disclaimer that I don't put the protective shields on my cellphones because I don't like having a lot of bulk in my pocket... this is my favorite wallet of all time.

Best Wallet Ever!
December 27, 2012
I have been using my Compact Sports Wallet for a week now and it is HANDS DOWN the best wallet I've ever used. I only have a few cards in my old wallet, as I cut the bar codes off some and tape them to others. My wallet is ridiculously thin now with a total of 8 cards. I can't even feel it in my pocket!

this wallet has changed so much for me! i was used to just dealing with a thick wallet that is always in the way. since i have had this wallet my back has not been hurting from sitting on my wallet! the only thing i would ask is that there would be a leather version of this compact sport wallet! i would get one for every member of my family!

These wallets are great. So thin and carry all I need. I have had one for about 5 years now and I am replacing it because it is starting to look a little worn. Just buy one; you won't regret it!

I have never been excited about a wallet before. This is so thin and holds just as much as my thick wallets did. I will never buy another thick wallet.

I've tried just about everything to keep a thin wallet and finally found exactly what I needed in the compact sports wallet. Buy it, you will not be disappointed!

Great Wallet!
November 10, 2012
This is a great wallet for me. I try to keep to a minimum the amount of 'stuff' I carry around and the Sports Wallet fills the bill, perfectly. I keep four credit cards in a single pocket , my driver's license in the transparent pocket, various medical and membership cards in the back pockets and $60 to $80 in the currency envelope. With all this in the Big Skinny, it is the same thickness as my old wallet is empty. The credit cards stay in place and don't fall out. I carry the wallet in my front pants pocket; it doesn't create a bulge and I don't really know it's there. I could do without the external logo (extra thickness), but it is a great wallet and I highly recommend it.

Very thin, very sturdy. I easily holds everything I need, and I'm a big fan of the minimalist design. I prefer the look and feel of leather, but the tradeoff for the size is definitely worth it.

Al the description is true. Functionality is awesome. I like that the wallet remained slim with 8 cards, 9 business card, and 15 bills. The only draw back is the big skinny logo. The logo keeps on getting snag till I removed it.

Great Wallet, doesn't last long.
August 27, 2012
I was ecstatic when my first BigSkinny wallet arrived at my door a month ago. It fit everything I needed to put in my wallet and today I noticed a rip. It appears as if the a part of the wallet wasn't sewn properly. I take very good care of everything I own, and I am not rough with this item. But now this wallet doesn't allow me to put everything I need in my wallet.

Bought my first Big Skinny around 4 years ago. It finally started showing a little wear, so it was time to order another. This is the only wallet I will ever user! It is the best.

I bought my wallet at a flower show, on a whim and didn't think I'd like it. Its all I have used for five years - it doesn't fall apart like leather, and definitely is skinny.

I like my wallets thin. My last one was a bifold I cut in half 15 years ago to get it acceptably thin. After the bisection it was no good for cash, but great for ID and plastic.

Fantastic
July 19, 2012
I'm not one to usually care about products unless they have a screen on them. But I am extremely happy with something so simple as a wallet. I don't think it has any actual weight to itself so the only weight is that of what you put in it. And super thin too. And as far as I can tell after a couple weeks seems to have good manufacturing too.

Delivers on its promise
July 15, 2012
It's insane how thin this wallet is when full compared to my old one. No more bulky, uncomfortable back pocket. I also like to carry a decent amount of cash -- and I've had no issue with the grips on this one.
By Bill R.
Great product
July 10, 2012
Definitely lives up to the hype, nice and compact and well constructed. Being so thin, it does feel a little flimsy when opened, but doesn't matter to me as I wanted something thin for my front pocket carry and this fits the bill.

This is a great product. I cant tell it is my pocket. Have to check to make sure it is still there.

My biggest problem with it is that I have to keep checking to see if it is still in my pocket because I cant feel it.
