ALL-ETT Billfold -- Thinnest Wallet Ever Made

| Thinnest wallet according to the New York Times,... an ALL-ETT® Billfold holds 30 cards, typical items we all carry: drivers license, ATM, credit cards, membership cards, business cards, etc. The unique side-by-side design keeps it thin, while holding all this!........2 Cash Pockets:.......
There is one that is normal size for bills. In addition, there's an extra deep pocket for larger items like receipts, pay stubs, airline tickets. You won't have to fold them so many times. It's also great for things you don't want to fold, like full 3x4 photos. The deep pocket is a good place for larger bills, so you don't have to show everything you've got when you buy a cup of coffee......
Sturdy Construction:......
The material is ripstop nylon "spinnaker cloth." Although it's as thin as paper, it's incredibly strong. It breathes, so it does not get sticky in the summer. And it's water resistant, so the contents stay dry.....
Other Advantages:....
- May reduce back pain caused by sitting on a too-thick wallet.
- It's almost invisible, so pickpockets don't know where it is. They can't steal it if they don't know it's there......
- It's washable, and no animal products are used in its manufacture. More information at ALL-ETT website or do an internet search for "thinnest wallet" |

Several reviewers have commented that some of the other reviewers must be getting paid for favorable reviews of this. I think they just may be from owners who have only had the wallet for a few weeks.
I had this product for four months before ditching it and starting the search for another wallet.
I love the concept -- this is just not executed well.
My main problem is with the card-pockets. They don't work. When I started, I tried to trim-down the number of cards I was carrying, and ended up with about 12 -- 3 to each pocket. Apparently, that's not enough in each one, as the cards would slide out every time the wallet was opened.
After a few weeks of dropped cards and frustration, I re-arranged things a bit. Two pockets ended up with 1 card each, and the other two had about 5 each. This fixed the sliding-out problem rather well.
Unfortunately, it created another problem, as the seam between two of the pockets came un-stitched. Now I had the sliding out problem compounded with sliding AROUND. Each time I opened the wallet, I'd end up with a bunch of cards sliding out to the middle....not fun.
I have seen the suggestions and customer-service fixes in these comments. Credit cards are a standard-size -- the manufacturer shouldn't be telling customers they have to re-stitch or move the seam for the wallet to work properly. Also, I don't feel wallets are items that need "retraining" for their owners to properly handle them. I've been using wallets for 35 years...and they've all worked better than this one.
I'm disappointed because at first, I really liked it -- it's really thin, and that's great. But until they figure out how to handle cards so that they are secure, yet easy to remove, I will look elsewhere.

| This is the cheapest possible piece of nylon (or similar material) sewed into a wallet shape. You would never buy this if you saw it in a store. It is a rip-off at this price. Amazon should be ashamed to carry this item. If you have a sense of humor, you will laugh, then get annoyed. Otherwise, you'll just be annoyed. How this could get good reviews is beyond my understanding. |

| I've had this wallet for about three years, and it's been generally very good. It is as thin as advertised, which I like very much. My only complaint is that credit cards fall out of the card pockets too easily. I've developed a workaround: I usually add some paper, like an eyeglass prescription or auto insurance card, to each of the pockets to keep cards keep from sliding around. This does not add much bulk overall, but it keeps the cards in place. The company should rubberize the card pockets to stop slippage. After three years, the seam stitching is beginning to fray, but I think that's to be expected after so much day-in day-out wear. |

| I should have researched this product more. I can't stand it. A better alternative is credit-card sized nylon pouch which zips closed to keep everything securely contained. Chisco makes them really cheap, and they are stylish and durable. REAL heavy duty nylon is so much better, not this thin stuff that you have to buy "extra" units of just to replace every year or so. A marketing gimmick. I see no real advantage to this. I don't believe all the customer reviews either. |

| I like this thing! You can read the description, but when you see it you're still a little taken aback. It arrives in a plastic sleeve that's about as thick as a paper bag, and here's this little black thing in it that crackles strangely when you open it. But the magic is this: I populated mine with a driver's license, 10 credit cards and $100 in cash, and it's STILL about as thick as a paper bag. For me this is a godsend, since I was forever taking my uncomfortable, bulky wallet out of my pocket and then leaving it places -- at home, in the car, in the laundromat, you name it. This wallet sits neatly in the pocket without making you feel like you're sitting on somebody's shoe, and it's virtually invisible in either the front or rear pocket. The crackling noise is still a little odd, but I'll get used to it. Bottom line: I love it! (And no, Old Wave, I didn't get paid to write this. Sorry.) |
