Works fine, but don't expect miracles...
May 11, 2015
I bought this wallet to replace a similarly-sized, worn out wallet I have had for years. I had hoped to reduce the overall thickness of my wallet. I have the usual credit cards, ID, shopper rewards cards, and paper, and it looked like the Leather Hybrid World Bi-fold would give me the best chance of getting it thinner, without using a larger wallet.
I received the wallet, and was pleased to see that it was so thin when it was empty, and happily proceeded to transfer everything from my old wallet into it. After I finished, I picked it up, and realized that it was the same thickness when full as my old wallet! I guess there is no magic in there - the same stack of stuff will always be the same height, no matter what it is in. To get it thinner, I will simply have to remove some of the contents.
The wallet itself is great! The smooth leather slips into my pocked easily, and the interior slots for credit cards and ID work just fine. It was hard to find a wallet this size, and I am happy that I have it. Definitely a keeper.
Merchant Response:Hi Eric! Thank you so much for your in-depth review and images! Looks like we slimmed you down by at least half an inch :) If you're carrying over 25-35 plastic cards we highly recommend trying out our Super Skinny model. It will break your cards down into 4 different decks and the wallets lays super flat. If you're interested in exchanging please contact our customer service team at your earliest convenience & they'll be happy to assist. Have a great day! Big Skinny
Pros
- This wallet is slightly larger than the average bi-fold, so it does help spread things out a bit to be thinner that a smaller wallet.
- The smooth leather helps the wallet slip into a back pocket easily.
Cons
- The leather can be slippery with damp fingers, making it tough to remove the wallet from the pocket.
- No magic ability to reduce the thickness of stuff.
