I think I like the "fully enclosed" feature of this particular card guard. However, the material, (I'm assuming aluminum), is quite a bit thinner than I'd hoped. While it allows the guard, (more of a case, really), to be lightweight, it seems a bit too thin and perhaps prone to damage. I've put it through relatively mild use thus far and it does have a small dent in it that isn't deep enough to affect the cards within the case, which I guess is the point; but too much rough use and this will neither protect the cards or stay looking nice. For light use, it's great. If you are truly a worker and you're going to use this daily, then you might want to go with a stronger guard.

This is a great Card Guard for my particular needs. I really like the full coverage of the card case and how feather weight it is. At $12 it is a steal. I have an old clip case that I have been using for over a decade and it still in great shape and I will still use but I really like the feel of this one a lot.
