**update: I've been using it for about a month now and I definitely like it a lot more than when I first got it. Its plenty strong, and to amend my initial reaction, it will do just fine in your back pocket I think. But it's so tiny that id keep it in the front. The anodized paint is holding better than I thought. I keep it in the same pocket as keys and there's only a few micro scratches so far. Im sure down the road it'll lose it, but meh, just adds character.
The function of it does take some getting used to. After you push on the thumb indent, you can pretty easily grab the top or bottom cars. It gets easier after brakin it in. You can grab the whole stack of cards and pull them out a touch to more easily grab them. Or pull and fan them out or pull and then open the cards up like a coin purse.

Biggest tip - Don't be shy about stretching the elastic!!!! It'll be just fine!

I just got it, put all my cards in, I like it. But we'll see if it lasts. "Military grade" or not, the aluminum plates are probably 20-22 gauge (1/32) and screwed into plastic. Which I get, milling each half out of solid aluminum isn't economical, and you wouldn't get any flex at all.
And really it does feel solid, will work for vast majority, but it's not some bullet proof wallet, like you wouldn't want to put it in your back pocket (the ad does say front pocket design I believe).
I'll update after a some days of use. Take care all.

As advertised, cool blur color, just a little smaller than I'd like. A slightly larger body would be very helpful, at least to me.
The "cash strap" seems durable. This is my first wallet of this type & design, so only time will tell if it holds up. It is nice not to have my bloated "George Costanza" leather wallet taking up an acre of oddly-shaped real-estate in my pocket any longer though. ;-)

This replaces my leather wallet, that I used to store in my back pocket. It is smaller, slimmer and far more durable than my leather wallet was. I was worried it might slip or fall out of my front pocket, but in reality, it feels far more secure in my front pocket and I've stopped worrying about that.

Have had this wallet a while now and it has really grown on me. Perfect size, light weight, easy to carry, easy to remove cards, takes a little learning curve to reinsert cards but not long. Holds cash in the cash strap great. Doesn't poke me in any way, comfortable to carry no matter what pocket of the pants or shorts I'm wearing at the time it's in. I was at first skeptical about purchasing but now I'd recommend this to anyone. I'm very happy with it and have absolutely no complaints at all.

When you grow tired of a fat wad of cow skin in your pants, this will keep it simple. Accessorize it with the Airtag and it can make your smaller footprint wallet have a smart mouth...smart enough to tell you it was left behind.

This is really for minimalists. If you are one of those people living in the 50's keeping a photo album of their Amish family, a pile of all the plastic membership cards, and all the denominations of bills in his or her wallet, this isn't for you. However, it's probably time for you to revisit the purpose of a wallet.
