I've had the Slimmy for over two years
already and I haven't regretted buying this one. The three compartments
allow three cards easily, but I use one compartment for bills. The
caveat here is stacking more cards (and receipts) in the folds defeats
the purpose of the "Slimmy."
Since I put this in my front
pocket, allowing it to pad makes sitting uncomfortable. When you see
creases along the exterior stitches of the wallet, it is time to weed
out seldom-used cards, and file or discard receipts and other
what-nots. Mine came to a point of having five cards per fold; it can
still hold decently but already looks like a digital camera in my
pocket.
By the way, the leather is so soft that after emptying
half of the contents and going back to my normal three-cards-per-fold,
the creases disappear. A great buy!

I bought this several months ago and gave it as a gift to replace a
traditional back pocket trifold wallet that was constantly wearing
dress pant pockets out. It appears to be very well made and still looks
new with no signs of wear or fraying. It comfortably holds, and
securely holds on to, more than enough cash and plastic for the average
person to easily wear it in their front pocket.
Now, obviously, if you are carrying around a George Costanza stuffed to
the gills, about to explode, wallet, you are not going to fit anywhere
near all that junk into this. And if you want something that barely
holds one card and one piece of paper money, Mercedes gives those away
free with new car purchases. Or you can use one of those minimalist
metal money clips - or a plastic coated paper clip.

This is a sampling of what we hear from our customers about Slimmy:
I just got my Slimmy, I am 100% satisfied with my
item, keep up the good work. I just purchased the smaller
version for when I'm away on business which I only take my drivers
license & one credit card.
Thank you for your top of the line grade AAA customer service, you guys
rock!!!! Have a great day and look out to the following days,
I have recommended you guys to at least 15 people here at my office.
They all fell in love with the Slimmy!!
Thank you again for the answer to the wallet nightmare that was once in
my back pocket I look forward into purchasing from you in the future
(belt and a watch soon), You have just made me a customer for
life!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

I love the Slimmy. I have been carrying my Slimmy
since December 2003. I love it. It carries what I need in the most
compact manner.
I often do not carry a wallet in my back
pocket but in jacket pockets, shirt pockets, the front pocket of my
pants, or in the outer pocket of my briefcase. The Slimmy fits in all
of these places perfectly. The Slimmy is not a full wallet. You cannot
carrying tons of extra things in it. In my Slimmy, I carry what I need
daily - usually $100, my office access card, my driver's license, my
debit card, a credit card, my car insurance card, my health insurance
card and four business cards. There's room left for charge card
receipts.
The Slimmy is certainly better than a money clip and
it is a wallet alternative. It is perfect for airports where you have
to constantly get out and stow your driver's license.
If you
are tired of lugging around tons of crap in your back pocket check out
the Slimmy. After close to two years of daily use mine is in perfect
condition and I'll never have another full wallet again.

It wouldn't take a genius to suspect a connection between his neck
problems and his wallet. My hunch was confirmed by a spokesman for the
American Chiropractic Association, who said fat wallets - already
notorious for causing the leg and lower back pain known as sciatica -
are bad news for the whole musculoskeletal system.
"Does your husband sit for a long time on his wallet?" asked Dr. Jerome
F. McAndrews, the national spokesman for the association.
"All day," I said.
"Then it's possible his neck pain is related to the wallet," Dr.
McAndrews said. "The minute you force one side of the pelvis forward
from having that thick wallet in a pocket, you are rotating virtually
every vertebra in the spine. The vertebrae above compensate for the
rotation so that he can sit up straight instead of leaning over like
the Tower of Pisa."
