I ordered this card holder because my current wallet just had too many cards to comfortably handle given the number most folks usually use.. This credit card holder is very sturdily made of quality leather and very stout stitching. I am very satisfied with it except that I wish it held a couple of more cards. It has three compartments with a slightly raised center compartment and one on either side. It will hold five credit cards satisfactorily however and it does make card access easier and probably safer than when in my old tri-fold wallet as the cards will not fall out of the holder. I am pleased with my purchase but as previously noted wish it held a couple more cards.
