Taxicat wallet is the best!
October 27, 2015
I've had this wallet several years now and it still is as good as new. I washed it once with dish detergent and it came out beautifully. It dried out quickly too. It fits in my little purse perfectly, it is amazing how much you can put into it and it doesn't bulk up. The change pocket is a great idea too!
Pros
  • Great selection of colors, I was able to match my purse. Wallet is virtually indestructible, years of use and still like new.
Cons
  • none

Love it
October 27, 2015
I had this wallet for about two years and stuffed it so full that I had to fold it inside out to snap it, and I loved it just the same even though many made fun of it. About a month ago I decided enough was enough and I pulled out everything but the essentials. Every pocket had been so stuffed and stretched that the wallet couldn't hold any cards at all - they all fell out because it was so loose. So, I reordered! My new wallet arrived and I re-stuffed with an appropriate number of things (which is probably still more than it needs to be). The point is, I pushed the first wallet to the max and it never tore. And when the time had come to admit that I killed it, I still wanted the same one and I reordered. Great wallet.
Pros
  • Everything

Best wallet ever
October 24, 2015
This wallet holds a lot, but is so thin and compact that I actually have a hard time finding it in my bag sometimes. Exactly what I was looking for.
Pros
  • Capacity, thin format, looks good
Cons
  • Smelled incredibly bad at first, but now that plastic odor is gone.

The Perfect Wallet!
October 5, 2015
This is my 2nd Big Skinny. This one is perfect to keep all of my EXTRA cards in. Like: Costco card, starbucks card, any card that ISN'T my major credit card, etc. It uses so little space that it is perfect for my extra ones that I want to keep with me but don't want to dig through to find in my reg. big skinny. I ordered it in bright pink color so i can find it quickly in my purse. Actually it isn't in the bottom of my purse because it is small enough to fit into the little zippered side area in my purse. You can't go wrong with Big Skinnies. They all do the job and hardly use up any room.
Pros
  • Bright colors
  • Don't take up any space.
Cons
  • None

Pretty good - wish it was a little taller
October 1, 2015
It's a great shape and width and it's so much better than my old wallet for weight and thickness but I wish it had better capacity for multiple bills - they tend to stick out the top.

At your earliest convenience, please contact our customer service team at bigskinny@customerstatus.com or via telephone at 1.888.844.6925 & they will be happy to facilitate an exchange for you :) Have a great day!

The perfect wallet
September 10, 2015
This wallet truly lives up to its name. Even stuffed with cards and cash, it's truly skinny and lightweight. The fabric stays clean, and the clasp works faultlessly. I'll never buy another brand of wallet.
Pros
  • lightweight
  • slim
  • many pockets for credit cards
  • good clasp, keeps it closed
  • good fabric
  • fabric keeps cards from slipping out
Cons
  • only one slot for bills. I'd have liked two.

Best Wallets EVER
September 6, 2015
This is my third Big Skinny wallet and my second Taxicat. These, are by far, the best wallets on the market for size, when full, and wearablity. The fact you can wash and wear them is a huge plus. I recommend Big Skinny all of the time to friends and relatives.

I have been looking for a good while for a wallet that was functional, lightweight and durable and I was lucky to find all of that in the Big Skinny taxicat bi-fold wallet. I am able to carry all of my credit/debit cards, business cards, driver's license cash and there is a zippered coin section on the outside. I love the durable material that it is made out of. My husband was so impressed he is now asking for one of his very own! Thank you Big Skinny for creating a great product!

I was looking for a small wallet to use with smaller purses. The Big Skinny fit my needs perfectly. It's amazing how much fits inside, and I love that it has a small change compartment that forces me to empty the change regularly.

Excellent Wallet, needs a lanyard/carabiner loop
August 1, 2015
I bought this after my old college wallet finally fell apart. Spent more time than I care to think about looking for a slim, bi-fold wallet that was small enough to fit in my pocket with my cell-phone. This met all my requirements except 1, it needed a way to attach a carabiner so it can't fall out of my pocket. I added a loop of nylon webbing to the outside, and it works beautifully, though my stitching is terrible. 4 out of 5 stars because to me, the lanyard loop is a really simple addition that should be included on more wallets. Otherwise, this wallet is near perfect, and has held up really well over the last year of use.

Merchant Response:Hi Joe, That is a great idea! We have actually added a lanyard/carabineer loop on our Plus-Size MyPhone Wallet models. We will look into adding them on the Taxicat style. In the meantime, you may consider taking your current wallet to a shoe repair place -they often have tools to grommet items. Thank you for your feedback! Kind regards, Big Skinny
Pros
  • Light, Slim, fits in my front pocket with my phone. Still looking good after nearly a year of use. The magnetic latch works well, and doesn't mess up any of my credit cards (I was originally skeptical).
Cons
  • Needs a lanyard/carabiner loop.

Not Just a Travel Wallet

I bought my first Big Skinny wallet for traveling but liked it so much it became my only wallet. No need for bulky ones ever again. They are now the only ones I buy. They make perfect gifts or just treats for yourself.

Very pleasantly surprised!
June 5, 2015
This wallet is great. More than enough room to carry everything from my previous wallet with room to spare. And it's truly thin. I use a separate coin purse for change, so I use the zipper pocket for small notes instead of coin. I can locate items fast and it's then even when filled with small bills. I'm very pleased!

What a great wallet

Five Star Wallet

I ordered a wallet for a friend and one for myself. I already had one in the same purple color and thought it was spotted and worn looking so I decided to key another as a replacement for the old one. I moved everything from my old Big Skinny into the new one and threw the old one into the washing machine. The old one came out of the washer looking brand new. Now I can switch back and forth as needed. Big Skinny is comfortable to carry in my pocket, weighs nothing and stores lots of cards.

Love the wallet. Purchased to replace another big skinny wallet. Opted for a 'non-traditional ' color scheme. I will never have my wallet mistaken for someone else's.

Taxicat Bi-Fold Wallet
May 20, 2015
I bought this wallet for my granddaughter who is going to travel in Europe this summer. It is small enough for her to put in jean or shorts pocket and safely carry the needed items ie. id, money and a credit card and they won't fall out! I have a larger wallet and love it, so hopefully I'm introducing this product to her. The safety and ease of use is great.

This is my second Taxicat Bi-Fold Wallet. My first one I keep on hand to use when traveling and don't want to take a lot of cards, etc. I love the Big Skinny wallet. It holds everything I need and fits into a jacket pocket easily and is not bulky.

  • Everything about it

Wrong Color x2
May 17, 2015
I loved my first version of the wallet until the zipper broke. So I ordered a new one at the website. Unfortunately through my inattention I ordered the wrong color--my order confirmation indicated fuschia. Yikes. I called immediately and emailed requesting a change but never got a response. So when the fuschia arrived I sent it back for an exchange and paid the re shipping fee -- my fault after all. Ten days later I was excited to receive my new wallet and ripped into the package and -- fushia again. The wallet is great (5 stars) but the customer service seems really lacking. I'm going to try again and hope for success this time.

Merchant Response:Hi Deb, Thank you for your feedback & for calling our attention to this matter! We have a meeting scheduled with our customer service team to discuss performance. Thank you for your patience & understanding. Kindest regards, Big Skinny

My forever wallet
April 16, 2015
I have finally found the perfect wallet, slim, compact, but holds everything I need and has a place for coins. I own several colours but wish it came in some other "classic" colours besides black.

Merchant Response:Hi LC, Thank you so much for your review! We actually have many new colors in-stock! The flashy Citrus Deco, Fuchsia, Graphite, Graphite Cobble, Red, Ocean Blue, & Electric Purple! Let us know if you'd like to exchange for another color! Have a great weekend! Big Skinny
Cons
  • Please consider offering this wallet in some 'classic' colours, like navy or dark tan.

Chemical odor to wallet
April 10, 2015
Very happy with purchase and service, however, even after airing the wallet, I cannot get the chemical odor out of it. Unfortunately, I am sensitive to the odor. Otherwise, the wallet itself is just right. Very slim and that is what I needed.

Merchant Response:Hi JudeAG, Thank you for your review! One tip we have for the nylon odor is to wrap it in some newspaper for about 30mins and that usually clears it up. Hope that helps! Have a great weekend! Big Skinny
Pros
  • compact, not too big, light weight
Cons
  • chemical odor

it's cute and feels good
March 27, 2015
Slim, of course! And they are darling! I got Cobble and Deco. I like the feel of the outside. Cards slide in and out so easily. At first I just used exposed pockets then I redistributed all cards using all the pockets and it just seemed to get even skinnier. Gave one as a gift - she loves it, too. It does slide into pant pocket but a bit long for some pockets. Oh well, I'll just choose pants more carefully. :-)
Pros
  • My husband can't seem to wear out his Big Skinny wallet - I'm glad to have mine, now, too.
Cons
  • When order didn't come, I checked on it and it said everything was out of stock. I would think that would've come up when I placed the order, I think that's a glitch in their system.
  • I called and found just one item was out of stock so I asked them to remove that and send the rest. Done and got here quickly after that.

I was skeptical
March 20, 2015
I LOVE this wallet. Didn't really believe the copy, but it's true. I've got several bills (I carry around a lot of singles for tips), 10 plastic cards, 5 business cards and about $2 in coins and it's no more than 1/2 inch when closed. It's easy to get to everything. It fits easily in a little elastic area in my purse, so I always know where it is and it is completely unnoticeable in a pants pocket. I'm thinking I'll never own another kind of wallet. If you carry around a gazillion pictures, receipts, 42 credit cards, a checkbook, pen, coupons, and all the other garbage I've seen in some women's wallets, this wallet isn't for you. But if you're looking for something that will hold all your essentials and still be small enough to go directly from purse to pocket, this is the wallet for you.
Pros
  • Very thin and lightweight. Easily fits in even a small pocket.
Cons
  • The snap closure sometimes catches on things, but since the men's version (without the snap) doesn't have a place for coins, it's a small problem I'll live with.

Almost the Perfect Size
March 18, 2015
This cute wallet holds everything I need and fits neatly into a jean pocket. I don't use the zippered change portion though, and think it would be helpful to offer a version without that feature to create an even skinnier profile.

Merchant Response:Hi Carol! Thank you so much for the feedback! We will certainly look into creating a Taxicat without the zipper. We do have The Curve model (but doesn't have the magnetic snap) and it only comes in black and brown right now. Thank you again for your review! Kind regards, Big Skinny

Surprisingly Slim
March 18, 2015
I am amazed at how thin this wallet is yet it holds my minimal stuff perfectly. I'm happy that this is offered in both grey (which I bought) and black as I'm not one for bright loud colors. This is my second Big Skinny as I lost my first one. :( Highly recommended.

Just what I needed
March 17, 2015
Should have purchased this originally instead of the trifold. The reviews had me thinking this was too small and that there was a problem with the clasp. Works great for me. FFits securely in front pants pocket. Wish the fabric was the same color red as the leather.

Pay to Play with the Taxicat
February 8, 2015
This is my second Taxicat Wallet. After wearing out the first one, I held off on getting a replacement. But the other wallets I got wore out or weren't nearly as compact as the gold standard that is Big Skinny. I can shove this in my front pocket, no problems. It holds pocket change and all my cards with no bulging. What else can somebody want? And for good measure the hole in the hold fits a Skinny Mini Stylus/Pen. Great investment and it's masculine enough that a guy can use it without getting "the look".
