Just retired my Wenger Trifold wallet I was at the Motorcycle show in NYC yesterday and they had the Big Skinny wallets booth there, I cant believe the size difference with all my stuff switched over. Wish I found one of these a long time ago!

I don't have one, but I've seen many of their adverts. If nothing else, they at least look attractive
Not sure about their durability, but I think the ALLET or whatever the name was are far less durable, again, from what I've seen on YouTube.
Keep us updated.. and may be with some pictures, too

I bought one in March of 2012 and have been carrying it every day since. it doesn't seem any worse for the wear yet, and I'm really happy with the size difference.
I suppose it may wear out after a couple years, but I only paid $24 for it, and I already feel like I've gotten my money's worth.

When in doubt, use a bigger hammer.

I also have the nylon international bi-fold one.
I've had it for over a year and it's holding up great.

I'm still using my second Big Skinny, after giving my first one to my mum, who is still using it. Yes, it's wearing some, but it's lasting a lot better than my TM1985 wallet. :/

I have both a nylon bi-fold front pocket and a leather tri-fold. I like the leather tri-fold much better and carry it in the let cargo pocket on what ever pant I have on either Vertx or 5.11.

I got a Big Skinny nylon bifold with ID window for Christmas 2012 and although it is getting a little worn at the fold it still completely serviceable.
These hold up much better for me than the All-Etts do. My All-Ett had holes worn in it in less than a year.

I've been carrying one of the minimalist Big Skinny wallets for 2 years. Its basically a card case. I have recurrent low back issues, and sitting on a big, fat wallet is no good for me. My Big Skinny wallet is about deceased, but being thin and nylon (or whatever it is), its essentially a disposable wallet to begin with.

I've got a nylon L-fold and after a year it looks brand new except for two frayed stitches. Except for the sewn on rubber logo thing, I absolutely love it. I've got a lot of cards to carry around with me and this thing does it all.
I kind of wish the billfold section wasn't divided. It's just not necessary on a wallet like this.
I'm gonna get a leather one for more formal wear.
