Like others have mentioned, this is in fact the Tiffen filter wallet at a discounted price. With that said, this wallet works great. It is gentle on filters, and will hold 6 thin or medium filters and still close securely. It is also well-padded in case of an accidental drop. For what you're paying, it's a great investment if you don't want to carry around a handful of those little plastic filter holders. I've bought two, and will likely pick up a third.

PROS:
+ Gentle on lenses
+ Secure velcro enclosure
+ Holds filters in place well
+ Good padding

CONS:
- I wish they made one to hold more than 6 around the same price

The wallet arrived as shown in the image and works fine, etc.

It is not branded Adorama as one would expect from the description, it is a Tiffen Wallet. Not sure it matters unless you really love or hate Tiffen products.

It is the same as this wallet (this is what was shipped to me): Tiffen Filter Wallet for up to 6 Filters

I ordered this Adorama Filter Wallet and true to what one reviewer posted about that the item is in fact a Tiffen Filter Wallet. And I like it. It has 6 pockets with good padding to protect my filters. It's a good buy for me.

I have a dozen various filters and was looking for a way to store them. I bought two of these pouches and they are the perfect solution to the bulky plastic cases, now I can take my filters with me.

It holds lens filters well. What else can I say? After about 2 years of use, one of the seams did come lose but for $7, I can't complain.

The good:
It protects the filters
Adequate padding
Fits quite large filters (77mm should go in)
Light

The bad:
Burgundy color (yuck)
Similar but not what is pictured
When storing small filters (52mm) they flop around quite extensively. As a matter of fact one needs to close the wallet in a careful, special way so that the filters in the bottom 2 pockets don't slide down and almost out. The description states it holds filters up to 62mm, which is BS, I just put a 72mm one in and it fits quite nice with plenty of room to spare. I got it for my set of 52mm filters and it is just way too large. However, if you do get it to store 72mm+ filters you may not be able to close the flap completely because of resulting thickness.

In all, for ~$10 I did not expect miracles, but I did expect better. This, it seems, would have been better spent on few cups of coffee. Need to take a trip to a brick store to find something that actually works as needed.

Product is as described, no company labels or anything. Soft construction, interior is lens-cloth type material with clear acrylic sheets sewn to creates the six large pockets. Velcro on the outside flap and a strip on one side allow for easy opening and closing, though it may get dirty if you do a lot of field work, just like any other equipment.

The stitching up the center that separates the sheets of plastic to create the pockets is not even on mine. The bottom two pockets appear about equal with the top ones having being 4" and 3 1/2" Not a big deal but if you are working with square or other large filters this may be a problem.

All in all works well with my 58mm round filters. Several pockets have a couple similar filters stacked (like close up filters, and NDs) they still fit well.

This was received very well packaged and is well-padded to protect your filter. I have some 46mm and some 58mm filters, and there is room for even bigger filters. I think this is a good purchase for the price

The item shown in the image is not the item that arrived. What I received was MUCH lower in quality that what is shown (rather than mesh it is cheap plastic sheeting). Overall construction also feels very cheap (some stitches are loose plus the Velcro isn't properly attached). On top of all that the item arrived USPS with postage due!
