doubt that hinge will last long - its just a folded bit of plastic

if it had a proper hinge id be a bit more impressed

I'll keep you heads up on hinge... I'm using camo one for a week or something and it don't show any wear on it. And I keep my ID and credit cards with money inside, so i open it quite often... We'll see how long will it last...

They look really neat mate..  I'll keep an eye on this thread..

Looks a bit uncomfortable. Does it give somewhat when you sit on it?

Im wearing it in upper pocket of M65 jacket. So I don't feel it... But will try to carry in jeans pocket, and will tell... 

[Chako]

That makes sense. Probably best not to carry it in a posterior location.

I would probably use one in my backpack to carry important stuff, but not sure about back pocket EDC , looks cool though,

This looks very interesting and I am looking forward to hearing how it holds out.

I used to have a jimi wallet, the one with the money clip inside. Used it whenever I traveled because I needed something smaller that would go into my side pocket. I traveled about 5 or 6 times a year, so it was used infrequently. But after a while, even though the hinges remained intact, the "click" feeling when opening or closing the wallet didn't feel right anymore.

That was quite disappointing, considering it was only about 2 years of infrequent use.

I currently have a fossil magnetic money clip with 4 card slots. Much happier with that.

Ok, I broke down and got one. Been using it for 2 days so don't know about the quality of the hinges yet.

I'm wearing mine (the camo one) since this post (and some week more), and nothing happened to the hinges, it holds strong! Though still keeping it in upper pocket of M65 jacket...

This one has some strenght.... And I like it, especially how people look at it... 

[Medic82]

I carry it in my front pocket but seeing that I only have had it a week it's too early to give it a final verdict.
