Terrible Redesign of a Past Winner, April 18, 2011
This review is from: Victorinox Zip-Around Wallet,Black,One Size (Apparel)
My old Victorinox Zippered Wallet was perfect--I hoped to replace it with another equally great wallet. I have many Victorinox travel products and the wallet I purchased was to replace an older Victorinox Zip Around Wallet I have had for several years (the zipper broke). You could say that I am a fan of Victorinox products.
Regarding my new Zippered Travel Wallet, I have to say I am *incredibly disappointed*. I would like to point out some of the design flaws that have brought me to my current opinion, which follow:
1. The wallet is *too* large. Once zippered, there is at least 1/2 to 3/4" of empty space at the top of the wallet. It is much larger than my older Victorinox zippered wallet. Not only is It too large to carry comfortably in a back pocket, but also it is much too large to carry in a front pocket (where I choose to carry my wallet). Frankly, it looks ridiculous to have it in any pocket is so large and uncomfortably rigid.
2. The wallet is too stiff. The wallet is bulky and uncomfortable to have inside a pocket, and it is made bulky and uncomfortable because of the stiffness of the material. It does not in the least way conform to a persons anatomy, and instead is like carrying around a paperback book inside my pocket.
3. The zipper does not completely unzip and therefore the wallet will not lay completely flat. When you combine this with the stiffness of the wallet, it is impossible to quickly and easily take things from and place things into the wallet. Imagine a hard-backed book that does not allow you to open it completely.

Victoronix Zip Wallet - Zipper Sticks, December 13, 2010
I have purchased this wallet in the past and it is GREAT! I ordered a new one in advance of mine wearing out, but I was a little disappointed. I like the new design, but the zipper on the new one sticks...badly...I ordered 2 (1 as a gift) and tried both, and both zippers stick...Hope they fix this issue.

zipper letdown, January 17, 2011
i like to abuse a wallet and overstuff it with credit cards, receipts, and coins - then you just zip it up - nobody's going anywhere. i've bought a few of the previous version of this zippered wallet. i love them, although, i always thought they could be a tiny bit bigger - so bills would fit better. the latest version appears to be a bit bigger (which it is). BUT, what is that plastic junk inside (sewn within) this wallet? it makes the thing unnecessarily bulky and unable to close properly. i'm not someone who returns thing, but i will return this (if i ever find the time). i am deeply depressed about this.
