Please.. I dated a vegan chick.. For the love of all things holy, PLEASE purchase something that resulted in the death of an animal. I don't care if you buy the synthetic all-ett wallet and then off a poodle... Just don't let those PETA b*tches win!

If they could breed cows with super thin skin, I'd be all about making wallets out of them. In this case, its purely functional. Its certainly not a political or fashion statement... :)

Yeah, but short of rubber, there's not too many synthetics that are as "grippy" as leather

*bump*

I bought a smart moneyclip from storus, [based on the recommendations from this thread] it's been pretty cool. A little bigger then I anticipated, but that's fine since it's still smaller then a wallet and fits comfortably enough in my front pocket.

Anyway about 30 days after I bought it, the clip that holds the cards into place broke. I was pretty bummed, decided to call them and they asked me to ship it to them. So I ship it, I don't get a response for a week. I'm starting to get worried, but one day in my mail there is a package from them. A little thicker then the first one they sent me. In it they had sent me two replacements for the one that broke.

It has been awhile since I was surprised by a customer service department, but I can admit I was genuinely surprised by what they did for me.

so thumbsup for a product I like and the company that makes it.

Figured I'd update: I got the Dopp Morgan from Ebags (For just $12.95 shipped thanks to Google Checkout ;))

It's wonderful. Takes up almost no space in my pocket and to answer the question asked, no, the bills don't fall out of their compartment :)

I wish I could use one of these.. I just have too many cards that I need to carry around. 6 credit cards, 3 insurance cards, 3 membership cards, and license.

That thing is sweet... might have to pick one up.

Sounds like the All-Ett might work for you...

I've been enjoying my Slimmy thanks to this thread. Some observations:

-bills are great, fold in half and tuck in
-don't put too many cards in, it gets thick quick
-push cards down really well or else they can fall out more easily
-long receipts are a pain because you have to fold them multiple times

Overall I like it. Getting a slim Motorola Q phone later this month to stick in the same pocket. Now if only I could reduce the number of keys I have...
