I like the look of the wallet, and it seems well made. However, I am disappointed that the "commuter pocket" on the outside of the wallet doesn't allow a smart card to be picked up while it stays in the pocket. I specifically asked about this, and was under the impression that I wouldn't need to remove the card from the outside pocket for it to work, but that isn't the case. While, I'm going to keep using it, I'm a little worried about wear and tear on the card and the wallet from removing it and putting it back in, four times a day.
It's a great wallet, but I wanted to make a comment so that anyone considering the same factor I was would know the right answer in the next drop.

ben-1Is it because it's RFID protected? Dunno how it works, so I thought I'd ask

phoenixsongIt is RFID protected. The advertising when I joined the drop said that it had an external pocket that wasn't protected so that you could use mass transit cards without taking them out. As it is, it's more convenient to have the pocket outside, but you still have to take out the card. This adds wear and tear to the wallet and the card, and you need two hands free. I still use the wallet and it's holding up pretty well (some of the internal stitching has failed after 2+ years of use), but it wasn't quite what they promised me.
