That it's just not translucent the way the others are... justifying a $2 increase? :D And, to be honest, the main advantage of the Jimi is that it's not an inch thick the way my wallet seems to feel sometimes.... and I'm leaning towards this, just because it's nice and skinny, although how secure is the lanyard attachment? Anyone tried that? Say, what’s the main feature of the Stealth again?

Remove what you need, when you need it. Gotta love those swipe tab miniature cards, we've all been turned into honorary night watchmen, or else we try and cram that metal and plastic sea urchin into a pocket or a purse - Ouch! Cheers, Matthew Z. That’s the first lesson of the Jimi — you learn very quickly which cards you can or cannot live without :-)

Each of my accounts has at least 1 card, not to mention autoclub membership, drivers licence etc. If they made a thicker version that holds 8 cards, that might be better.

If I lose my credit cards, I have to call the company to cancel them, but if I lose my cash, I can always get more.

If you are pickpocketed, you will lose everything and that probably isn't the best idea. i tell this to all of my clients when I give lessons about security (especially when they travel overseas), do not carry your cash in your wallet. its the first thing a pickpocket will go for. *sigh* I guess until you get pickpocketed, there's no point really in saying anything is there?

I could never go back to a regular wallet. Plus, i now actually process and file receipts instead of carrying them around all the time. I have it and love it.

I leave decent-sized money (fives and up) in the Jimi, and the other federal confetti just gets wadded up in the other pocket :-) You can really jam it, with something like ten or fifteen bills inside, but it works best with the new stuff, and the wallet will lose it's splash resistance when you do this -- not overstuffing either side of the Jimi is key to easy use. My Jimi arrived days before I broke my left elbow, and it has been a blessing -- I simply couldn't reach around to my regular wallet pocket reliably with my dominant arm in a sling. I can easily fish the Jimi out of a front slash pocket, regularly slide cards out of the Jimi single-handedly, and routinely lay the wallet open at a checkout, pull out a bill, and tuck the wallet back away, with just one hand. Can you tell I like my Jimi? Cheers, Matthew Z. Just a note on the Jimi Wallet – a tri-fold (folding your bill into thirds) will work best, for max storage.
