great wallet
October 3, 2024
This is my second wallet. Although I like the first card holder better (only had one see through pocket) I would never get a wallet other than a Big Skinny.

Replaced the one I got a decade ago

My old one had been slowly falling apart, so I decided to get a new one. I’m a Big Skinny Cardholder person for life!
Pros
  • Super flexible storage (the main pocket holds a lot, depending on the situation

Great wallet.

Great wallet this is only my second one in over 4 years. A great front pocket carry.
Pros
  • This Wallet can take some abuse. For me it's a perfect fit for all my everyday carry.
Cons
  • Haven't found anything I didn't like, I bought this one because the last one lasted for years .

This is my third one. You may think that’s a lot, but it’s the third in 20 years! Actually this is the one I bought my Dad. The 2nd one I purchased for myself 10 years ago is still doing its job with no complaints from me. Highly recommend!!!

Great wallet for cards.
Pros
  • -Hold multiple cards.
  • -Having the hole on the plastic, see through view makes it easier to remove I.D. cards.
Cons
  • -Placing U.S. dollars in the front, small pocket makes the wallet not close evenly.
  • -The front pocket should be a few millimeters deeper to allow U.S. dollars to be at the same height as the cards placed in the back pocket.

Refreshing update after 8 years
January 26, 2023
Purchased to replace the teal Big Skinny card holder I bought in 2014 (old and new wallets both pictured). The new design has an extra ID holder inside, love that! My old wallet was still functional, but had gotten quite ratty after 8 years of daily use. 5 years is the sweet spot for replacement, I think. Very happy with my new one and with these wallets overall!

I was first introduced to Big Skinny about 15 years ago and I won't buy anything else. I have purchased quite a few (for personal use and as gifts) card holders. They hold the perfect amount of cards, and also hold cash pretty easily. Big Skinny wallets are durable and last a long time. I've washed/dried mine and they still come out just as strong on the other end. I highly recommend buying from this company. If it's your first purchase, you won't be disappointed. Simple. Quality. Why haven't you bought one yet?

Our first experience with The Big Skinny was many years ago at a NY street fair, We each purchased two of the Card Holder model. When the first ones were lost in a move we still had our replacement ones. About 9 years later we decided to use the web to find new Big Skinny card holders for each of us. I washed the old ones using a toothbrush and hand soap. They look good as new but we each have chosen to use the new ones and use the old ones as backup. You can't go wrong by trying The Big Skinny.
Pros
  • Strong. Washable, Keeps you from collecting too many useless cards. Slips into side or back pocket easily.

If you carry allot of cards, this is a great way to do it. Very slim; not bulky.

Exactly what I was looking for
March 5, 2022
No frils, just pure minimalist functionality. It truly has the smallest footprint of all minimalist wallets, and the soft material conforms well inside pants pockets. It doesnt have RFID blocking, but i keep my cards inside a RFID blocking sleeve that fits just fine in this wallet, so no prob.

Holds all I need...
January 9, 2022
...and fits in my front pocket. When I worked in out patient physical therapy we used to perform wallet-ectomies on patients with low back pain. Truck drivers would come in complaining of low back pain & we'd find they'd been sitting on a wallet the size of a brick. They'd been sitting with their pelvis all outta whack & it translated to their low back. A wallet-ectomy & some TLC for a week or two fixed 'em right up. A money clip & a small wallet carried in a front pocket fits the bill.I've been using my old Card Holder for 5 years & it's still intact. I bought two more for back up.
Pros
  • Durable, small & fits my needs.
Cons
  • Nary a one!

I purchased this recently at a craft show and love it as a replacement for my previous thin wallet that was falling apart after only a year. It holds all the cards I need on a daily basis. I'm looking to many years of service from this wallet.
Pros
  • Slim design, durable construction

New design
March 22, 2021
I have used your products for years. Your old extra small size had an extra pocket and only 1 plastic clear visual. Bring back the old design, I could fit many more cards in it. Andrew Gold

Merchant Response:Hi Andrew, Oh no! sounds like you may have inadvertently received our Card Case style instead of our Card Holder (which has a gusseted pocket -that can accommodate 20-25 plastic cards) We will get that exchanged out for you straight away! Thank you for your patience & understanding. Wishing you a wonderful day, BigSkinny

I bought my first one at a trade show I think it was in 2008 and have had it in my pocket every day since. The plastic that covered my drivers license cracked so I got on line and found your web site. Got my new one and 13 years from now the lord willing I will get another.
Pros
  • Holds up well my old one was run through the washing machine more time then I want to admit.

Thinnest Wallet Ever!
December 14, 2020
This is the third Big Skinny (card case) wallet I have purchased over the years, as well as another for my husband. It comfortably fits in front jeans pockets and easily holds all of the cards I need. I like thatit's made from synthetic material and not leather.
Pros
  • Thin, comfortable and stylish. Also available in cool colors.
Cons
  • I can't think of any.

Great holder for credit cards
November 24, 2020
This is a great holder for credit cards or business cards. The pockets are large enough to hold many cards and easily slide them in and out.

Best wallet ever!
February 23, 2020
I have been buying this company's wallets for as long as they used to come to the Erie county fair, years ago. These wallets last a long time and I love how you can fit so many cards in them and not have a bulky wallet. They can even handle getting wet. The only wallet I will ever have as long as they stay in business.
Cons
  • There aren't any as far as I'm concerned

I've been using this as a wallet for year. I love it. I'm on my second one in about 5 years, replaced because the first one was stolen. When I get caught in the rain on the motorcycle I don't panic about my wallet getting ruined. I've accidentally ran it through the washer (more times than I care to admit). Whenever someone sees how slim my wallet is they are always impressed and want one and want the details of where to get one too. It fits into any with women's pants pocket I've tried. I think that is a miracle in it self, seeing as women's clothes are notorious for tiny pockets. It fits along side my concealed gun in my vest pocket without extra bulges. The only downside is trying to carry cash money, not something I do on a regular basis. Anything more than about 10 folded bills and the wallet becomes thicker and bulkier. The best fold for American money is folded in thirds so it makes everything thicker.
Pros
  • Hold plenty of cards for everyday use
  • Compact
  • No bulges
  • Washable (don't advise leaving your cards in the wallet when washing)
Cons
  • Has a hard time hold large amounts of bills without becoming bulky.

This is perfect for keeping credit cards. Loads of room and no matter how many you put in, it's still 'skinny'.

I was never a fan of small wallets because I keep a lot of papers and receipts. But I wanted a small wallet that is not bulky and can fit into my new small purse. Tried this one- amazed at how everything fits- cards (15 cards, cash and some recepits).
Pros
  • Small yet fits everything
Cons
  • Hope you come out with more colors for this model

Not as happy as I was with my zippered wallet. Just the style. I should have returned it. Maybe I have too much stuff in it. It doesn't stay folded.

durable and thin
December 27, 2015
This card holder endured hard daily use being overstuffed for nearly seven years before I finally retired it for another Big Skinny product. (The eventual wear points were the corners of the interior surfaces, the oval of the ID window, and the fabric edges.) The fabric itself is incredibly tough. I loved having the ability to flash my transit card while carrying everything else. I do wish the logo were more subtle (e.g., black on black). That said, this is a great, slim, vegan-friendly product. Highly recommended!

The BEST wallet I've ever had-
September 10, 2015
I'm using this same wallet for 7 years and it's holding up really well. I want something simple and there is a handy place for my metrocard. I'm ordering a few so I'll never be without it.
Pros
  • Durable and simple.

Ya I'm nuts and can't decide. I love Big Skinny wallets . They're def minimalist and look cool. Great material and perfect styles for me anyways. Easily 10 cards and cash and still frontnpocket slim. Cust service gave me the BEST experience with an exchange. Can't ask for anything more. Slim, cool looking, good material, great selection. I'm a happy dude!

Merchant Response:Hi Sunny, Thank you for your feedback! That was our Toffee color that has since been discontinued, but we'll be on the lookout for one in our warehouse & let you know! Have a great day!
Pros
  • Got it quick, slim, great options and different pocket configurations. Not very $$$.
Cons
  • Need to have that dark yellowish color that you have on some of your video reviews as a color option..... I like it.

Great card holder
May 18, 2015
I do not like a thick billfold since I carry my cash in a money clip. The thinness of this card holder is great. I can carry the few credit cards I use as well as a number of business cards, and it is still thinner than any previous billfold I had. I also like the window for display of my drivers license.

Great for business cards
April 29, 2015
I have fold over business cards and needed something lighter and less bulky than my previous leather cases. This fills the bill perfectly plus as an added benefit, leather cases seemed to stain the cards with the color of the leather. No staining with Big Skinny.
Pros
  • Light weight and no bulk in pocket.

Best Wallet ever! I've had 3
June 7, 2013
My dad gave me a Big Skinny years ago (their first year in business) and I haven't used any other wallet since! I absolutely LOVE Big Skinny wallets. I give them regularly as gifts. I can't understand how people carry big wallets! This is my favorite model by far and I use it as my only wallet. I holds tons of cash, cards and it's still tiny. I carry it in my front pocket and it's not much bigger than my phone. I've NEVER ever had anything accidentally fall out and I haven't ever lost anything due to the wallet. I've had 3 of these but they have never fallen apart- I've lost two! I give them my best recommendation.

December 29, 2012
This is by far the best wallet I have ever had. I hate purses...and I wanted something that I could stick in my front pocket...but also be able to carry all of the many cards that I have. This one fits the bill. I have everything with me all the time!!! I love it.

Thin Card Holder
November 22, 2012
The card holder itself, I like very much, and it really deserves 5 stars. However, it took two and a half weeks before I finally received one (color red) of the two I ordered on 11/1! I have yet to receive the teal one, and have not received any correspondence as to what the hold up is. In other words, customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

Love it! Although I'd like to see the picture ID window access be inside the wallet rather than on outside. ID tends to creep out. Fix that and I'd give it 5 stars.
