JIMI

Jimi Wallet

Product Description

We designed JimiTM for a simple reason, we hated wallets. They were always too bulky for our pockets, and magnets for useless crap. Just wanting to carry some cards and cash, we used binder clips, rubber bands, money clips, and card cases, but none really did the job. We figured we can't be alone here, and started talking to people about how they carried their stuff. We found out that there was a lot of ill will to the seemingly innocuous wallet. People had really strong feelings. Really. Ask someone how they feel about their overstuffed wallet. So we thought, what the hell, let's re-invent the wallet. Make a real pocket wallet. And try and do it with some social responsibility - sweatshop free, made in America, environmentally conscious, that kind of thing. The result is JimiTM, a next generation wallet, which doesn't look or behave like any wallet you've seen before. It's compact and unfussy, carries a few cards, cash, and hangs from your neck or fits in your front pocket or the slimmest of bags. Simple.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice design, poor quality, August 3, 2007

The Jimi wallet's design is clever, but the quality of materials is poor:

The matte plastic exterior scratches easily. Do *not* attach the Jimi to your key ring or keep it in the same pocket or purse with your keys or other metal objects. Within five minutes of attaching it to my key ring and keeping it in my pocket, the Jimi was covered with scratches, all of them shiny and highly visible.

After two months of use, the top third of the money clip broke off, leaving a jagged edge.

The plastic hinge on the clasp is already white with stress marks, so I expect it to break soon.

The design is also flawed: Don't store *fewer* than the recommended maximum number of cards or the cards may fall out when you open the wallet. Don't store *more* than the recommended maximum number of cards or the card holder clip may pop out and again strew your cards on the floor. Both scenarios happened to me before I carefully balanced the precise number and thickness of cards I store in the Jimi.

The Jimi is cute and it's quite a conversation piece, but I'm glad I kept my old leather wallet. In a few months I'll be switching back once the Jimi finishes self-destructing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too bulky for what it holds, February 1, 2008

This review is from: Jimi Wallet (Apparel)

This product looks pretty snazzy, but it is far too bulky for what it holds. The most I could squeeze into it was 2 credit cards, 1 insurance card, 1 driver's license, 1 key card and 1 20 dollar bill. The 20 dollar bill had to be folded in quarters fit in the Jimmi. To call the Jimmi a wallet is an exaggeration.
There are much thinner products out there that hold more. For example the Junior All-Ett billfold, also sold on Amazon, was half the thickness of the Jimmi even when stuffed with the same number of cards and 15 bills! Also the bills in the All-ETT are unfolded making them easier to access.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome wallet!!, May 23, 2006

I have had one for about 2 years now and I love it! I get so many comments on it, everyone wants to know where to get one. Where it folds is now coming apart, so I need to get a new one. I'm sure the reason it's coming apart is because sometimes I shove more things in there than really fit. I attached it to my key ring and have my ID, paper money and often-used credit cards right at hand. It's so convenient and has never come open by itself. My stuff is secure in there and I don't know what I'd do without it, now.
