Nice looking wallet but..., July 20, 2009
This review is from: Swiss Wallet (Apparel)
I had this wallet for several years now. This wallet is cool to show off to your friends and random strangers. However, I would advise that you don't put it in your back pocket because it tears a hole in your pocket (edges are sharp) and it's hard to sit on since its metal. This wallet is all for looks.

Very Nice, But Not Perfect, November 8, 2011
I have been carrying a money clip rather than a full wallet for about two years, and recently traded a traditional leather money clip for this one. With store cards, discount cards, membership cards, and everything else, I have many more than five credit cards to carry, but the truth is that I only have 2-3 that I use with any regularity. All those extra cards get stored separately in a case that stays in my car, and so while I've felt the limitation of only five cards, it is an easily remedied problem [and much better than the back problems that can result from sitting on a stack of 20+ cards in your back pocket all day].
This clip fits nicely and lays flat in a front pocket. It does scratch a little, primarily because I keep it with my keys, but the scratches are minor and superficial and very difficult to see, at least on the silver color I purchased. It holds up to five credit cards very securely. With a leather money clip, I'd had instances where a sudden move caused my entire stack of cards to slide out across the floor; there's no chance of that happening with the Wagner clip. I can shake it back-and-forth as hard as I can and the cards don't budge.
My only complaint is with the belt/money clip portion of this wallet. It is a metal spring clip that seems to be designed much more as a belt clip than as a way of carrying cash bills. The first problem is the placement: It opens from the opposite end than the credit card opening, leaving you feeling a little unclear which end is up; also, it is placed so that the closed end of the clip is about 1/2" away from the edge of the wallet--folded in half, bills still protrude all the way to the other end of the wallet or even a bit beyond. Secondly, the clip is only tight at the open end; bills tend to pivot and turn around that point, nearly sliding out. Who's going to want to clip this to their belt or bag, and where would you put your cash? I think the attached clip could be much better designed for holding cash, placing it better on the wallet and holding it more securely, possibly even something hinged with a magnetic closure like most leather money clips.

This is my second Wagner Swiss Wallet, January 24, 2012
This is the second Wagner Swiss wallet that I've owned. The first one, which was identical to this one, lasted about 6 years. I am actually surprised the first one lasted as long as it did considering the number of times I've pulled it in/out of my pocket, dropped it, banged it, etc. The durability of this wallet is much better than any other wallet that I've owned. It's simple, functional, and attracts the attention of a few curious people who are interested about the design and concept. The quality is terrific.
It holds 5 cards (including driver's license) with ease. The money clip and cardholder retain their tension, even after repeated use for several years. The aluminum is strong and resists nicks and scratches. It is more than what you would normally pay for a wallet but the old adage applies - "You get what you pay for."
