Summary:
The Alpine Genuine Leather Money Clip front pocket wallet with magnet clip and card ID Case wallet is exactly as described. It truly is genuine leather and compact; It smells and looks great too!
Dilemma:
I purchased the Alpine wallet to replace my "Big Skinny" card wallet I purchased through amazon a year or so ago. While that wallet has served me well and is still in excellent condition, it has outgrown its usefulness as I've depended more on spending cash over using credit. The Big Skinny single-piece card wallet allowed me to store cash within a slit at the center of the wallet, which I always had difficulty adding and removing (or getting my fingers in) cash since it had id cards I could place on the outside of each side of the wallet. Having ids on the outside of the cash pocket put pressure on the wallet so the cash would get stuck in the center since the bills would get snagged on the sides... hence my search for a replacement wallet
Solution:
This wallet (and Big Skinny's Magnetic Money Clip Wallet) from Alpine Swiss gets around that issue of placing bills in the center of a single piece wallet (not bifold/trifold) by attaching a money clip to the outside.
Praise/Pros:
I've used Alpine's backpacks for carrying my military equipment successfully (without tearing or breaking in any way) in the past and hoped their wallet would be just as good in build quality. I can confirm it is.
For the money, this is a great price (Around $12 with shipping included from Swiss; not Amazon) and a premium product. I was more than impressed and it exceeded my expectations when I received it. Through my impression of the build quality, I'm assuming this wallet should last me, or at least I'd hope, for many years to come.
Con(s):
The only consideration I can provide is that the magnetic clip on the outside is slightly bulky (protrudes from the wallet), but when I sit it does not get underneath my rear end and cause discomfort. For others it might. So it feels fine and I don't notice it throughout the day in my pocket.
Recommendation:
I would not hesitate to recommend this product to any of my family or friends interested in a minimalist wallet that screams quality as well as great a value at around the $12 I paid for it through Amazon to Swiss. Had I known the quality of this product, I would have been wiling to pay the retail $45. However, I'm even more excited I didn't.
