I ordered the 2.0 off their website and have been using it for a few days. Overall, it's a decent wallet, but I don't think it's quite worth the price due to 3 things:
1) Massdrop description says "thinner than three playing cards" -- not even close! It's about as thick as it looks in the photo - I'd say 4 credit cards' thickness when empty. I don't have any playing cards on hand, so I can't check for sure, but it's definitely more than 4 playing cards thick.
2) The stitching on mine is a little uneven; there are a few defects here and there with the thread either looking heavier than it should be (snag in the machine?) or missing a stitch. If the thread were black like the materials, it wouldn't matter much, and hardly anyone would notice. With the high-contrast red thread, the defects stand out like a sore thumb, and make the wallet look cheap.
3) I'm having a hell of a time getting my cards and cash out. Getting them in is no problem. On the bills side, the pocket's lining is too grabby, and just holds on to the bills. On the cards side, the V cutout is too small --with the grip I can get on the card / cards in that little space, I can't overcome the wallet's grip. I've tried stretching it out per the video comment, and that gets cards in easier, but still doesn't help getting them out. Maybe it will get easier over time, but right now it's a struggle.
That said, I do like the wallet, and I'm using it as my main wallet now - I just wouldn't pay that much for it again, given the flaws.
