I will start off by saying I am a big fan of Italian hand stained leather. It is a stiffer leather with a shiny sheen to it. This is comparable to Bosca's Old Leather. If you like soft nappa and hate stiff shiny leather then this is not the wallet for you. You will gripe about it. If you like Italian leather though you will love it. I noticed some people who don't like Italian leather complaining about Castello Italian leather products simply because they didn't read carefully and thus didn't understand they were getting an Italian leather product. Intrinsic to an Italian leather product is that it is easily scratched. That is the nature of the beast. Mine came with some minor scratches already. I had hoped it would start out with none but there were some minor ones. Minor enough that I will not consider exchanging it. You definitely should not carry anything metal in the same pocket like a money clip or pen, if you do then it will be scratched up. The only thing safe to carry in the same pocket is loose paper or cash. I have been using one piece (as opposed to the ones that fold in half) slim card holders for many years now. I have used them from Bosca, Tumi, Coach and Fossil among others. My current holder is a Fossil one. This Castello card holder is the same height but 1/4 inches longer than my Fossil. I prefer as small as poossible but the 1/4 inch is no big deal and in fact as I will explain shortly is better. The true dimensions of mine is 4.25" long by 2.75" wide even though the Overstock description states 4 inches long. It is small enough to fit comfortably in a front pants pocket, shirt pocket or breast jacket pocket. Many slim card holders have an outside plastic ID window, this one doesn't have one. It looks nicer all leather than with one side being plastic. This means you will have to keep your license in one of the card slots. Since almost everyone who you need to show ID to wants your ID removed and will not read it through a plastic window, it means a plastic ID window is not needed anyway. Out of all the non-folding slim card holders I have seen this is the only one that has more than 5 slots. From Coach to Fossil they only have 5 slots counting the middle pocket. Some have even fewer like the Bosca weekend wallet which has only 4 slots. My current card holder is configured as follows: plastic ID window and card slot on one side, 2 card slots on the other and center pocket. I have my license and credit card on one side, 2 credit cards on the other side and 2 more credit cards plus a book of stamps in the middle pocket. The new Castello card holder has 3 exterior card slots on one side, 2 exterior card slots on the other, a fabric card slot inside each wing and a middle pocket. Thus in total there are 7 card slots, a central pocket plus more room in the two wings for money or receipts. By far this has the most room of any on the market that I have seen. While the wings can hold cash, naturally sticking a wad of cash in them will make them stick out. I normally keep my cash folded in half (no money clip) in my pocket right next to the slim card holder. The central pocket though on the Castello one is large enough to fit my cash comfortably (11 bills folded in half). The 4 1/4 length means the cash will fit comfortably and be easy to stick in and pull out. Since the entire central pocket is free (as I mentioned everything I now carry fit in all the card slots with one slot to spare) I'm still deciding whether to keep my cash in it or stick new items I didn't used to carry in my old less roomy one like business cards for instance. My only real gripe in terms of the design is the wings. I would have preferred that the sides were longer and sewn down. That would give it more utility and make it less bulky. Things can fall out of the wings if turned down so are not as useful as they would be if sewn down. As I already mentioned there is a fabric slot to hold a card in the wing so that won't fall out but whatever is in the wing itself can. Inside a pocket it is no big deal but when you take it out it can be a hassle, enough of a hassle to not bother using the wing so it might as well be a normal sewn down pocket. I also wonder why they didn't make both sides the same so there would be 3 exterior slots on both sides instead of 2 on one side. There is plenty of room already but it would not have hurt to add the extra slot. These are the only things design wise that I would like to see changed. There are few Italian leather card holders out there let alone at this price, and no (non-folding) card holders period that offer as much room. As I said it is the only one I have seen with more than 5 slots counting the middle pocket. Counting the middle pocket and wings this has 10- double. All in all this is a nice piece at a good price.

Love the wallet, tons of compartments/storage for cards, cash, coupons, etc... One drawback is that it scratches easily, something to note on the brown wallet.

I actually purchased this item to be used to hold my taxi and coffee money. Its slim design fits perfectly in the outer pocket of my purse. Living in NYC, one does not always want to open their purse. This slender wallet serves this purpose.

I bought this for my husband who despises wallets. This slim card holder, he loves. It's perfect. It's small...... fit's a couple credit cards a few business cards. Fits into his pocket. I would recommend this for a man who does not want that bulky tri-fold or checkbook. Who rights checks anymore anyway.........

when i put five cards in the wallet, it would not fold properly. there should be more room at the fold. also, the cards are hard to insert and remove.

I purchased this slim wallet as a gift and was pleased with the quality; however, I wouldn't classify it as a wallet but more of a cardholder. The presentation was awesome--in a cloth bag in a sturdy box--which truly made the item appear luxurious.

I like it a lot, it is so much better than sitting on wallet.

This is a splendid pice of craftsmanship and I love it - but I would warn buyers: THIS CASE IS EXTREMELY SLIM AND SMALL. Your cards and other wallet-papers might not fit here. There is something else to recall: with the space limitation, your cards will bristle out of this case like flower petals. Beware when removing from/replacing in pocket! Otherwise this is THE slimline case for card-carriers on the go. THERE IS NO CURRENCY POCKET HERE UNLESS YOU FOLD ONE OR TWO BILLS INTO THIRDS AND SLIP INTO CENTRAL COMPARTMENT. - This is best for business cards.

I had been looking for a small slim credit card wallet to replace my worn one. I needed to hold 8-10 cards, including license, credit, insurance, library, business and others. I don't carry cash in my wallet, so I don't want the typical 4"x4" pocket buster. I tried this based on a review that said it could hold ten cards. The packaging/presentation of the product was nice, and the leather seems quality. However, the function is not quite adequate. It might hold ten cards, but by the time you get it half way there, the open sides start sticking out and your cards start bending. Some slots are very, very tight for standard cards. Also, it is not nice looking loaded - without a fold, your rainbow of cards is just obvious and doesn't look appealing. It wasn't something I was ready to pull out in front of everyone at the restaurant table. I am returning it and will just try a standard, gusseted business card holder. High marks to Overstock on making the return process easy.

I bought this wallet for my husband for Christmas and he really liked the looks and style. The only problem is that he has way too many cards that he needs to carry, which makes the wallet too small for his needs. He only used this wallet for a half a day and already the cloth lining ripped as he was trying to remove his drivers license. So for the men that dont carry alot of cards (ie insurance card, gas card, credit cards..etc) this is a great wallet. But I had to return it since it was not constructed for more than 5-8 cards.

I bought this wallet as a gift for my boyfriend because he likes those flat wallets but his old one didn't have enough slots for all his cards. This one has slots on either side of the wallet so you can fit more cards in it. Next, it comes in a very nice box and is wrapped in some paper-like material that makes it look very classy, like you bought a designer item. The wallet itself is carefully stitched, the leather is a beautiful color, and it's very sturdy. It definitely looks like I spent at least double what I paid for it. I highly recommend it, and I think I'll buy more as gifts for other people.

I love this product. It is exactly what I thought it would be and a little more. Thanks, Mark

I had purchased it for my boy friend and its very good quality. I wouldnt have guessed it was only $****!!!!

when you first use it you will think the pockets are too small but give it a couple days and you fall in love with it. the sides wings may seem cumbersome but with use it will flatten out and not poke out.

Not a fan of folding oversized wallets. This wallet is nice and compact and fits a good amount if items.
