Big SkinnyMen's Curve Bi-fold Front Pocket Wallet

My long term companion for the last 10 years has finally retired only to be replaced by the exact same wallet! This thing has been through it, multiple wash cycles, deployments, salt water. You name it this thing has seen it, I have not been gentle! A small tear developed about two years ago that did allow some of my cards to fall out if I wasn’t careful but that was still 8 years in of heavy use. Cannot recommend this thing enough for people who need a thin wallet.

I cannot carry a wallet in my back pocket due to a hip injury. So, I carry my wallet in my front pocket. The wallet I have been using for years is two inches thick. It presents a problem at times because of its thickness. I saw Big Skinny wallets while searching for a replacement. I did some research, watched some videos and felt this was a wallet to try. I am so glad I purchased this wallet. It holds everything I kept in the original wallet, and I mean everything. But, it is only one inch thick. It is half the thickness. The rounded shape allows it to fit in the pocket better. I would recommend you give this a try if you are looking for a thinner front pocket wallet.

I have been using this wallet for about a month now and I have to say my first impressions were not so great. But it didn't take me long to realize how great of a wallet this is. Let me first get one thing out of the way. I have read several reviews where people are saying US currency will not properly fit in the bill portion of the wallet. ALL US currency I have put in the wallet has fit fine. The only thing is due to the rubberized coating you do have to put a little effort into making sure the bill goes all the way to the bottom of the pocket. Now that we have gotten that out of the way we can move forward.The wallet is a great choice for front pocket carry. It is slim and lightweight enough that you can hardly notice it. That being said I already carry so much other stuff that the only way I can effectively carry a wallet is in the traditional method of back pocket carry. The down side to that is since this wallet is designed to be carried in the front pocket it has a tendency to rotate in the back pocket. This is no fault of the wallet or Big Skinny and has not made me dis-like the wallet at all. I also find it tends rotate more in dress pants pockets than in Jeans. Which leads me to my next point, the wallet works great in either dress pants and jeans. There are an adequate amount of card slots. They are also big and deep enough that holding 3-4 cards per slot is no problem. But holding one card per slot is also no problem due to the rubber coating keeps everything secure. I would highly recommend this wallet however if you are not planning on carrying the wallet in your front pocket 95% of the time then I would get the Big Skinny Multi-Pocket Bi-fold Wallet. Regardless you will not be disappointed with the Curve.

Update: used a light spray of Plasti Dip on the card covers. Problem solved.Original Review:This is my second Big Skinny. My first was the Men's World Bi-Fold Slim. I still have the Men's World Bi-Fold Slim and may continue using it after my disappointment with the Bi-Fold Curve.The advertising says that it will hold 20 cards. That may in fact be do-able but in the same way you could fit 8 people in a Honda Fit. Possible but not practical. The wallet would be bulging so much that it would make sense to buy a wallet that distributes the load across a larger area - the Men's World Bi-Fold Slim for example. Even with the Men's World Bi-Fold Slim or any wallet in my experience, 20 cards is pushing it and would probably defeat the purpose of having a wallet with the design goals of the Big Skinny line: thin and more comfortable to carry.Regardless, I knew what I was buying going in so any issues I have with the size are for others that might think they can comfortably carry 20 cards in this wallet.I consider Men's World Bi-Fold Slim my favorite wallet of all time. After almost 3 years of daily use and carried in a back pocket, it's still in excellent condition and very comfortable. Over time however, the card slots have loosened up a bit. Not to overstate it but the card slots no longer hold cards as securely as I'd like. Not enough so that cards will fall out easily but enough so that I decided to replace it.I went back to Big Skinny for a replacement and wound up with the Curve Bi-Fold. Stating the obvious, it's smaller than the Men's World Bi-Fold Slim and intended for front pocket use. My only gripe and a big one is the card slot fit. Even when cards are in card protectors, they fit loosely. Too loosely in my opinion. Not *quite* enough for them to fall out after opening the wallet and giving it a shake test but close.Without card protectors, the cards fall out very easily during a modest test shake. Not good. Very much so not good. Regardless, I like the design enough that I intend to apply non slip coating to the interior of the card slots or maybe to the card covers I use. Maybe Plasti Dip or another product.Unfortunately and relative to the long term performance and design of the Men's World Bi-Fold Slim, I'm disappointed with the Bi-Fold Curve. Great design confounded by loose card slots. Maybe the non-slip coating will make this a secure and usable wallet for cards.Bottom line, if you do not use card covers or even if you do, I can't recommend the Curve Bi-Fold. The curve is potentially a great wallet cursed only with a bad card slot design.

With six credit cards, my license, medical IDs, and cash, it's about half as thick as my old leather bifold. YouTube "George's Exploding Wallet" for a reason to try the Big Skinny.

This is my second "Big Skinny Wallet" ... in TWELVE YEARS!!! The first one has finally had to be retired, but this newer design is the perfect replacement. And if I only have to buy a new wallet every 12 years, then I'm more than happy!!! I would definitely recommend these to anyone and everyone!!!

Great wallet... Exactly as described.Some people have noted that £20 notes are too big, but I just told 20's in 4 and slide into one of the hidden card pockets.Genuinely the slimmest wallet I have ever owned!

Best slim wallet ever. I've tried all different types where you have to quarter the notes which is a pain. This fits nicely in a front pocket and retains a slim profile with up to 10 cards in it. Love it.

Very impressed with this, slimmest wallet i’ve owned. Tried other slim/minamalist wallets but they weren’t practical. The photo shows the big skinny at the top with money and cards in the botton my wallet empty of everything!

Muy bueno! es muy resistente y de verdad es mucho mas delgada que cualquier otra. El corte curvo que tiene es especial para poderla usar en el bolsillo delantero de un pantalón sin ser incomoda.
