Got this yesterday so I can’t speak to longevity but the following is a detailed breakdown.
The facts:
1. It’s so thin you will wonder if it’s in the envelope. Fold a piece of paper in half twice and you will have an excellent idea of how thick the wallet is on it’s own.
2. Unless you stuff the pockets, your cards will move around a little when you open the wallet. They will not fall out unless you hold the wallet open and shake it, seriously. I just did that to try and get them to fall out and my plastic cards (4) came out of one side. My business cards stayed.
3. It makes noise. Does it make enough noise that I’m self-conscious? No. It’s a crinkly noise that you may notice in a quiet situation.
4. It is exactly big enough to hold US Dollars. No less and NO MORE.
My opinions:
The reason I wanted this wallet is because I hate having things in my pockets. I carry a cell phone, folding knife and handkerchief or paper towel anytime I leave the house. If there is any way I can reduce bulk or weight I will.
I don’t care about the noise. It’s not so loud that it will attract attention. Anyone who hears it will probably be so close to you that you know them already.
No, it does not look like a leather wallet. It looks like nylon material. I got blue and to me, it’s gorgeous. I value substance over form, your needs might be different.
I chose the sport version because it’s the thinnest, smallest wallet made by All Ett. Check out their site. If you want more reviews there were 39 customer reviews (on May 28, 2010) on the All-Ett Billfold here:

I am concerned about some of the reviewers saying theirs has worn out. I’m a tough user of products so if it can break down, it will die in my hands. Still, I love the design so much that if it lasts 6 months I will probably buy another one.
My only problem with the wallet is the spaces for the cards. They are so big that if you filled it with enough cards to keep them from falling out you will affect the way it folds. This seems odd to me since the wallet is for people who don’t want to hold a lot of stuff so I would have make the pockets tighter so that they held about half or two-thirds as much as they do.
To be fair, the spaces have an area under the top flap with little rubber half-circles that I am guessing are intended to hold cards in. But I am not impressed since they seem too smooth to provide real grip. The rubber from my Domke camera-bag strap was ten-times better and lasted for years.
As I said, the cards WILL NOT FALL OUT but they will move. Since most people really don’t seem to like the style of these wallets, I imagine that it’s just the nerds that want it. And nerds notice when things move when they shouldn’t. So it bothers me.
Sooooooooooooo,
Is it really really thin? Yes. I changed my money over to as soon as I took it out the envelope and reveled in it’s tiny pocket profile immediately. I doubt I’m ever going back.
Do I love this wallet? Yes
Am I glad I spent $17 on it? Yes
Will I buy it again? Yes

Its functional and easy to carry. At first it takes a bit of time to get used to it. It feels like you are not carrying anything in your pocket. I am able to fit my money, IDs and 3 credit cards. You can put in a lot more, but the whole point I got this wallet was to keep it light.
