Wow, it really IS amazingly slim, but the logo annoys and embarrasses
April 6, 2015
The compactness of this wallet absolutely meets my previously-high expectations. I actually did put the same number of credit cards into my now-former wallet and my new Big Skinny wallet just to compare, and the difference was dramatic and amazing!
Which makes the large, protruding logo both baffling and unfortunate! Because of its ugliness and obtrusiveness, I'd never ever buy this wallet as a gift for someone, and I'd even hesitate to recommend it to people, frankly. I actually bought an exacto knife specifically so I could cut it off (I'm serious).
So come on, Big Skinny. Many of us would absolutely trumpet this wallet all over the darn place and to tons of friends if you didn't make the branding look so amateurish :(. I can't think of any other wallet that does this.
Merchant Response:Hi Adam, Thank you for the review! Funnily enough we took the logo away for awhile and people were in an outrage and clamored to have it back! But we will certainly look into creating a more aesthetically pleasing logo ;) Have a great day! Big Skinny
Pros
- Looks mostly good (see below)
- Feels good in the hand and the pocket
Cons
- Man, that logo is big, uncomfortable, and ugly!
- No, seriously. Unparalleled in the wallet world from my experience.
