Does everything I want it to do
March 28, 2015
I have been using a card holder style wallet for years. I have always liked the internal money clip style. Lately though, I have noticed people eye-balling the money as I flip thru the bills to pay at the register. Maybe I'm just getting paranoid in my old age, but when it happens in a foreign country it's even more uncomfortable. So I decided to switch to the bill-pocket style. I always carry my wallet in my front pants pocket. I have never liked sitting on it, and it offers an extra level of security against pickpockets (something that has happened to me). The Curve is lighter than any previous wallet I have owned. The bill holder pocket works great and keeps my bills out of sight at the register. The wallet stays in my pocket, however I have had it slide out a couple of times when sitting in the car and wearing slash pocket chinos or shorts. I think the rubber Big Skinny logo helps in that regard, but the nylon is a bit slick. I have not had cards fall out of the slots as some have reported. It is super slim, light, affordable and durable.
I cringed a bit after I had already ordered my wallet, and read reviews about customers having bad experiences with Big Skinny. Particularly with extremely long delivery times and no help when calling the CS hotline. My order came thru in about the expected time (10 days) so I had no issues.
Pros
- Super slim
- Light
- Affordable

Cons
- The nylon can be a little slippery when in your pocket. Could slide out of slash pockets when sitting.
