Excellent design. I love the thinness, and the leather seems legit and long-lasting (time will tell, I guess). I rarely carry paper money, and haven't yet put any bills in the strap part, though it seems like it will work fine. Anyway, this is a major step up from my previous thick and fat faux-leather wallet (which was flaking!) and I'm very happy with the purchase. Also, at $15, I'm thoroughly satisfied. This was an awesome first "drop" for me!
