I bought the pink wallet with the 6 sections/dividers. I love the way I can set up my own system, however the Velcro was placed wrong. There are two bottom sides of the Velcro instead of the top and bottom pieces your supposed to have so it makes it difficult to close the wallet. The other thing is it doesn't provide tabs for you. You have to make your own.

Great Idea, but product not sufficient.
While I've been on the envelope budgeting system for some time, it has become rather inconvenient to carry around a complete FPU pocketbook. Even with out the checkbook in there, its pretty darn large to be carrying in a coat pocket, and very inconvenient during the warmer months.
This product, I had hoped, would be the perfect compromise. And, I applaud the idea. But, the finished product leaves much to be desired. For the $30 charged, I expected considerably better stitching quality & consistency. I also thought the dimensions were a bit off, with another quarter inch in height making it easier to actually SEE the labels, instead of digging through my cash to see them. I would also have preferred a couple more card/id slots instead of the sparse 4. Finally, when I'm carrying around my two weeks worth of cash, even with most of the bills in 100 denomination, this wallet does NOT want to fold flat.

Nice product but issue with labels
Really appreciate the unique and innovative design and material of the product. The one sour note is the labels which are mostly pre-printed and don't match my expense categories. There are a few blank labels but not enough. There are not enough blanks or extras and one is afraid to make a mistake. It would be better to have two sheets of blanks than one sheet of pre-printed categories. I asked the seller to send blanks and she very graciously promised to send them but never followed through. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars.

Super cute - bad closure tho
So, I love the little envelopes, the zippers, the cloth, the pattern regardless of the simplicity. As a Dave Ramsey follower, it works great. Even better than my poly coupon file. I would like to see more room on the edges for "personal" cash or receipts and a zip closure for change as well as slots for discount cards, atm, id...

Disappointed
Didn't receive it on time and no response from the seller :(
The wallet was supposed to arrive on Aug 29th but it didn't come so I contacted Thriftyzippers by e-mail and by phone but no response. I finally received it almost 2 weeks later. I was happy with the wallet but disappointed by the lack of response from the seller :(

The only option is never the best
Purchased the Men's Bifold Envelope System Wallet for $30.00
This $30 wallet made out of nylon is crinkly, the money moves around it it a little too easily, and the space for holding your ID is not standard ID holding size (weird?!). It is WAY overpriced for the product received. Unfortunately there are not many makers of men's bifold envelope systems, so we bit the bullet and paid the price. However, if I could do it again, I'd pass. It would be better to get a nice, secure, well designed bifold and self-design an envelope system into it.

Love the design of the wallet!
I love this wallet. The only thing is the Velcro is bad, I got to hook sides and not an opposite. So it doesn't stay together very well ;(
