Distil Union Wally Classic Men's Slim RFID-Blocking Leather Bifold Wallet with Money Clip - Minimalist Front Pocket Billfold for Everyday Carry (Black) | Perfect for Travel, Business & Daily Use

I would love to give this wallet a positive review because the design is excellent. It's slim, holds a lot of cash, and provides lots of easy access to credit cards, IDs, insurance cards, etc. It really is a convenient way to carry around the items you typically put in a wallet.However, there is a severe quality issue with this wallet that I have. I've had it Since Oct of 2014 and the wallet has already begun falling apart in several different ways. For starters, the red pull tab in the picture was not sewn properly. This was quickly remedied with a little super glue and I haven't had problems with it since, but still a disappointment. Second, there is a rubber strip that runs along the edges of the wallet that has started peeling off. The problem is that once this peeling starts it will all eventually peel off as it is one continuous strip. Although at first this was just a disappointment and really only seemed to be an aesthetic issue, I now realize that this rubber stripping does serve a purpose. It helps hold the wallet together. Although there is stitching around the edges to also do this, I've noticed the interior fabric where the credit cards are held has begun to fray and pull apart because this rubber stripping is no longer present. In addition, once the stripping completely comes off the wallet, the edges will begin to separate. Again, it is still held together by stitching, but its unsightly and likely decreases the durability/life of the wallet.I have bought other wallets from distil union and they all look and function great. While I find them to be really cool products that are designed for people who try to minimize the bulky stuff they have to carry in their wallets, I have had quality issues with each wallet I've owned from them (3 now). My hope is that they develop better quality control processes in the future because these wallet look great and help minimize the bulkiness of a typical wallet. My disappointment is compounded by the fact that this wallet is not cheap at $60.Because of the quality issue with this wallet I gave it one star, but due to the fact that it is still my favorite wallet from a design standpoint I bumped it up to 2 stars.UPDATE 6/30/15: I contacted Distil Union and they immediately sent me out a replacement wallet. As of right now I have been using the wallet for about 2 months and have not had any problems so I may have just had a bad unit. Because of the wonderful customer service, I added a star back and would now recommend trying the wallet if you are interested in it. If you have a problem, Distil Union will likely work with you to get things fixed as quickly as possible. Will update this review toward the end of the year after I get a few more months of use out of it.UPDATE 11/2/2015: Still using the replacement wallet that was sent to me. Technically it has not broken down yet, but I am starting to see cracks in the rubber stripping that was mentioned above. A new and unexpected issue has come up. The interior of both card holders where the pull tabs are used are lined with a red felt like material. As I was looking at one of my credit cards the other day, I noticed that all the white letters on it are now pink. Tried using alcohol to rub it off, but it seems like it has permanently dyed my card pink. Personally, it does not bother me that my credit card has a pinkish hue to it now, but if this was my license or my global entry card (used to go through customs when entering the US) I might be more irritated by this.UPDATE 11/12/16: Distil Union contacted me to let me know they had an update to this wallet and wanted me to try it out. The new Wally Bilfold Slim they sent me has addressed all my earlier concerns about this wallet and I now feel this is a 5 star product. They removed the red felt material that was dying my license pink and also addressed the rubber stitching on the sides of the wallet. I've been using it for about 2 months now and I think its really a fantastic product and a fantastic company. As I have said in the past, this is a company that you can trust and they are always looking to turn a bad situation into a good one. While my preference is still for the wally micro over this wallet as I am a minimalist, this is still an excellent wallet. Its really about personal preference at this point. Either way, I feel like you can't go wrong and the best part is that you have a company that you can trust backing up the product.
