Cute and Slim, but..., September 30, 2009
The idea of it is great, it's "green," sturdy, has many pockets, but the cards tend to slip out. And because there's a fold inside the two inner pockets, if you put more than one card in there, it's a hard to put back in.

Fantastic!, September 23, 2009
It's three in the morning. You're at a floating poker game a bellhop at the Hilton tipped you off to. An hour and a half in, up by two hundred dollars, not to mention the half a G you brought with you. The pot's getting bigger and you're aiming for a straight flush, getting pretty close in fact. You turn in a card and lift the corner of your replacement to find, Oh Yes, an ace. It's time to call. In fact, it's time.....
...For the idiots equipped with ski masks and snub-noses to burst in and tell everyone to empty their pockets on the table. Five minutes later they've gone with the money, and everyones' wallets, watches, and jewelry. Curses fill the room. That's when you reach down to the table and pick up your rental car keys, phone, and an old letter that you threw down when the gunmen arrived. You open up the letter and more curses fill the room as the other players see that it is, in fact, a wallet that still contains your, ID, credit cards, and the five hundred you brought in with you. You walk out of the room almost feeling sorry for the other players, wondering if that bellhop back at the Hilton was in on the bust...
Yeah, I love my Dynomighty wallet. It's sleek, stylish, and oh, so sexy. How many times have you been making a purchase and the clerk behind the counter compliments you on your Milanese calfskin trifold? Never, that's how. But with this bad boy I always get compliments. Be prepared for that unique social exercise in public trust; giving your wallet to a complete stranger that they might admire it up close.
That bored, yet cute girl working at the record store? The cynical cop who pulled you over for expired tags? The aloof bartender at some trendy watering hole? Oh, the conversations this thing will start. It breaks more ice than a Russian fishing trawler.
When I bought mine, the first thing I did was glue an old stamp onto the front right corner, forge the postmark with a ball-point pen, and then finally write my name and address on the front. It looks incredibly real, and now that it has acquired a faded patina, even more so.
However, after a while a problem presented itself. Because the wallet is made out of plastic, it's slippery. When I opened it the contents would sometimes fly out, especially credit cards. A simple solution was to use small pieces of double-sided tape to keep the cards firmly inside and the side pockets from opening. Now I have absolutely no more hassles with this wonderful piece of design. I even bought the dot-matrix printer version as a gift for a friend who's into tech. He loves it. I cannot say enough nice things about this product.
Now, you may say: "But I don't want the peasants behind the counter to get too familiar. I want them to continue in their daily drudgery without attempting to engage me in conversation which I am far too important to deal with." To which I reply Mr. Bush, it's that attitude that made us decide to replace you with a black guy...
