Great wallet, June 23, 2010
I hate a wallet in the back pocket. It bends all my credit cards and hurts my back if I sit for a while. This SLim Tumi is the second one I've had. I fit business credit cards on one side and personal cards on the other and cash in the middle. And it is still so thin, it fits in my front pocket without portruding. I have not come across any other slim wallet as good as this one.

Good quality, great design, August 4, 2011
This review is from: Tumi Men's Horizon Slim Id Card Case (Apparel)
This is a great minimalist wallet. I recommend it, assuming you can trim down what you carry in your wallet to 7 cards or less (maybe more if you stretched it out first). I was able to fit my oversized door card, my transit card, and an another card-reader card in the middle compartment, and since I don't need to remove them this works great (just wave my wallet over the reader). If I need to remove them, it would be a bit of a pain given the size constraints. On the outside panel opposite the ID panel I keep my main credit card in the top slot that I use for day-to-day purchases, then I keep two backup cards (debit, etc) in the bottom slot. This has worked well, and the main card is pretty easy to get to.
This wallet doesn't have a special compartment for bills, but I found a nice workaround. I put my ID card in the ID slot first (and you could fit another card or so behind it if you had to, though it could get tight). Then I slide my folded bills over the id. The little thumb slot in the window makes it easy to slide the bills out, and if I need to pull out my id, it's easy enough to slide out the bills and then the id. I don't carry a lot of bills, so I probably only have 4 or 5 max at a time. You could probably do a few more than that, but too many would start to not fit very well.
One other note, in my local department store this wallet costs about 4 times as much, or something ridiculous. I was very excited to see it from Amazon at a much more reasonable cost.
Pros:
1) Slick design
2) Materials and build quality feel solid
3) Very slim and lightweight, so much better than my old bulky wallet
4) The id windows is great, and has a slot to push it out with your thumb
5) Thin enough that I'm able to scan my door and transit cards without having to take them out of my wallet
6) No magnets in the wallet, so no fears of it wiping your cards
Cons:
1) I didn't do any pre-stretching, which may be a good idea before use. As such, the cards are in there pretty tight, and can be a bit of a chore to get out.
2) If you overfill it (at least without stretching it out first) the cards can start to bow.

Slim Card Holder, May 23, 2011
nice compact and slim. each slot can hold a few cards and they are not hard to separate. if you are looking for a full wallet, this is probably not it, but something to minimize cards this works well
