I just got it today,must say it certainly meets my exception.
It is a bit bigger than what i thought it would be though,but not by much and is manageable(I thought it would be small because I thought it is a compact wallet)
Here is a picture of how it compares to my other 2 wallets from Tanner and Ashford.

Here is one with them opened

(About the Ashford one I have oiled it so the color is kinda messed up due to the leather not absorbing the oil at the same rate for some reason,the outside is good but the inside is not very nice....Also it is a bit like that already when I got it but the oiling made it worse.)
(No,I wouldn't recommend the Essex leather one from Ashford,the cheaper Chromexcel one seems to be better.)
The wallet is a bit on the stiff side but I haven't used or oil it yet.but it still feel pretty soft on hand because the leather is thick which is nice.And the stitching is very nice too.You can see the thickness of the thread ,therefore it should last a long time.The leather is very consistent as well,especially for this price.
I wanted to write more but i got finished an exam and have another the day after tomorrow,so I will write more if I have the time to use it.Hope this helps if you want to purchase a wallet in the future.

Here is a photo of most the wallets I have used.(I am currently not using the beaten up one,and i didn't do those things to it)
DeathWatch@gwcrossland@DeathWatch Sounds awesome, thanks for the mini-reviews!
Regarding the photos not appearing - this is due to our system. The photos are too large (~5 MB) so they will need to be compressed (~500 KB).
ChristopherJOk thanks!I remember being able to upload photos straight from my iPhone but i do understand those can take up a lot of Massdrop's server's disk space....
So I guess we can only upload 500 kb photos from now on?It is allowed to maybe link to google drive or something?
DeathWatchI'm not sure what the exact limit is, however I know that full sized photos may not appear.
If you keep encountering this problem, you can also use imgur.
