This does not work even remotely as well as the telethought wallet which is cheaper. Thankfully I
have both so I could switch out the lens from my telethought wallet and put it into my new pantera
wallet which has softer leather. The only other plus for the pantera is the extra clear lens which
has a printed card on it so that it appears as though there is a card already in it. But I bought
this for the lens which is garbage

This wallet is actually pretty good. I have been using it for a while now and the method is really
cleaver, angle proof, and devious. Simply, it gets the job done with little risk.
I have
a few cons though.
1. For a business card holder. It doesn't hold nearly enough business
cards. If you're a worker and plan on doing this back to back through a night, it's going to be a
problem. I would have been much better to make the wallet more like a small camera case. And have
the zipper lead into the flap, that way you could put a stack of 30 or so business cards into it.
2. The plastic business card that came with it. Says British airways. I was a little
upset that as an American, I didn't get the fedex one. I almost returned it because of that alone.
3. The leather is too tight out of the box. They could have made it just a fraction of an
inch wider so you wouldn't have to destroy your business card trying to get it in and out of the
wallet. However, it's starting to loosen up with use. But it's an extremely tight fit which
causes a lot of fumbling around with it.
4. It should have come with an extra security
glass screen, just in case something happens to this one. Or better yet. It should have come with a
clear plastic cover with no business card printed on it, or some cover so that the security glass
doesn't get scratched or dinged up with years of use. It's the small things like that I look for,
that take a product from good, to excellent.
All that being said. It really is a good
wallet. I use it every day. The leather is great quality. It doesn't look like a prop at all, it
looks like a real wallet, because it is. The method is fantastic and practical, the instructions
are excellent and clear. Lastly, it does it's job, and does it well. I just hope it breaks in
more and gets smoother to use, and I really wish it held more cards.
I may end up getting
another wallet that hold more cards to replace this if that becomes an issue. I will probably make
some sort of procteror for the security screen, try to stretch out the pockets to jam more cards in
there. (Don't overload the side with the security glass, it makes it almost impossible to get the
card in and out of the zippered compartment).
If you like this type of wallet, and
you're ok with the cons I listed. Then get it. It's made well, and it's very skinny because of that.
If you're fine reloading it with cards a lot, then you should have no issues. I'm sure they could
come out with a new version that's just a little more well thought out or constructed, but still,
this is a very good wallet. I'm just trying to save anyone from the few surprises that I got,
because I didn't think about it prior to buying a wallet.

I own several because they are extremely well made in ideal dimensions. I have inserted TeleThought
filters in some while leaving others unmodified for visibility in darker venues. I have only ever
used the zipper to modify the wallet to my liking but never during performance as the pocket leads
to the same area and is much easier to get in and out of. This wallet provides basic, SUC-like
features which has served professionals for decades and comes highly recommended.
