Just got the wallet today. I bought it on a whim, and now regret it. The quality is quite disappointing.
The main compartment can hold about 6 of my cards, which is about the most I'd put in it. The part that makes the wallet unusable is the elastic. On my wallet the amount of slack on the elastic makes it unable to hold even 2-3 bills, folded. The silicone panel is a nice touch but not enough to make up for the saggy strap. I also hold on to all my receipts but if I'm consciously trying to load up the elastic so it can grip the contents, that's counterintuitive to the spirit of scaling your daily carry down.
Personally, I own and use a Machine Era wallet, which I think is a much better product. Similar price, superior quality and I believe it to be a better design overall.

cakemunnyYou can stretch the band with your hands by pulling both ends a part and you won't have that sagging anymore. Since the wallets are all hand made, you may have received one with a little tighter than normal band, it you can easily stretch it out a bit as I indicated. Thanks for your honest review. Alternatively, the new slim 2.0 is out and should be available to masdrop very soon - doesn't include a band, but a second black suede pocket for cash and mostly used card.

ezgowalletNot sure if cakemunny got a beat-up unit, or his bills are larger than US bills but I have been using mine for almost a month now and it works very well for me. I was just buying grocery today and had to stuff 15x $1 + 2x $5 into the strap, and it's just slightly bulging out at the side. The main pocket holds 7 cards currently, and it's ready to hold 1 or 2 more.
In fact I may just purchase the 2.0 version as a gift. Very satisfied with my current one.

cakemunnythe pocket would be much better. I also cannot use the strap for cash...not sure that stretching it will improve this problem. Also, the stitching started coming out after a couple of weeks, and getting cards INTO the wallet is no problem...getting them out quickly is very difficult.
