Impressive, you have to see for yourself, June 5, 2006
This really is a good wallet. Of course, what I like about it most is the size. Like most men, I had a standard leather biker wallet. A big bulky thing, that was so big, over the years I had to buy a smaller and smaller one. Soon I was getting annoyed and I started searching for a new wallet. And lately I have used a number of new wallets including a few money clips.
I was surprised when the All-Ett came in the mail; it came in a large envelope (completely flat). The biggest complaint I have with the All-Ett wallet is how it feels. It is durable, but it feels flimsy and makes a crackling sound in your pocket or when you open it. This is because of the spinnaker cloth. I will repeat again, "it is durable" .But this aside, I wouldn't trade this wallet for anything, that is how much I like it. Many times I even wear this wallet into my front pants pocket for safe keeping, it is that small.
The All-Ett doesn't seem to hold very small, "keychain" cards very well. At least I have not found a way to hold them securely. It holds regular credit cards, cash, and pictures very securely. It also doesn't hold change, no big deal because I hate change anyway. I have a large amount of material in my All-Ett and it is about one quarter the size of my old leather wallet. Right now, in my All-Ett, I have close to 30 cards, about $100, and a few pieces of folded paper in my wallet and it's still very slim and very small. I also like the All-Ett because I routinely carry a wallet in my front jacket pocket; my old wallets were too big for this. In addition, it holds pictures better than most standard wallets which is a very nice feature, possibly overlooked.
The biggest complaint most people will have with the All-Ett is how it feels and the sound it makes. It's not really that noisy, it's just a different feel. It is also not cheap, the rip-stop nylon is very thin so this makes it feel flimsy, but it is strong. I don't believe this wallet will last 10 years or longer, but I definitely see it lasting 3-5 years. Some have been known to last 5 years according to their website. These are the only drawbacks I can think of. The positives far outweigh the negatives. I used standard wallets for years but I am now convinced, and love this wallet very much. Good product.

Thin, but won't work for most, January 12, 2006
I hate fat wallets! I'm always taking mine out of my pocket and setting it on my desk,car,etc. This wallet is definitely thin, and I've used it for several months now, but I'm now looking for an alternative. There just isn't enough secure storage space, no pockets that close. I don't carry much, but the few things I do have fallen out numerous times, and the credit cards are loose in their spots (unless you have 5 or 6 in each area to make it tight). I lost my atm card a few weeks ago. If you carry NOTHING but credit cards and cash (and are willing to keep an eye on your credit cards when you open the wallet), this may be for you. I'll be looking for a wallet thats still thin, but can store things a bit more effectively.

It's thin, October 12, 2006
It feels funny and it's noisy and it will take a bit of getting used to, but it's thin. Really thin. If you're worried about your credit cards falling out because you don't have six for each compartment, cut a piece of cardboard to 6cm x 8cm and put that in behind three or four cards. This tightens up the fabric around a smaller number of cards and secures them quite well.
