 Doesn't fulfill its purposeSep 10, 2009
By MaasSql
I read reviews on this item before purchasing it but didn't quite understand. The metal is solid-check. It holds lots of cards - check. Heavy, feels good in your hands - check. Looks good and makes a good impression - check. Stays shut and protects your business cards - NO. The problem isn't a defective unit. The problem is the design.
I expected that the lid work something like a zippo lighter. After all, the similarities in appearance are too many to discuss. The lid instead, is held "closed" through friction. If you look very carefully at the picture on Amazon, you'll see to the side opposite the hing a metal tooth coming out of the case. That tooth is ever so slightly angled so that the lid fits over it and then pulls against it. One might think of it as a sort of doorstop? Anyways, initially, the lid stays closed. However, the design always assumed that the solid hinge show absolutely no wear at all. In less than a month, the lid began to open. I'm not sure if the metal tooth became ever so slightly bent or if the hinge lost some shape.
It didn't bother me too much, as the cards within would "catch" the lid, so the cards have never spilled out. However, what does happen is that the corners of my business cards become dented.
The purpose of this product is first and foremost to protect business cards. It does not fulfill this purpose. If you don't need a business card holder, but, need something shiny and heavy to carry around in your pocket, then this item is perfect!

 ZERO problems functionally, but FINGERPRINTS yes!Jul 14, 2011
By R. Frank
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R7I3FLZMRS0BH I've been using this for a couple of weeks and have had ZERO problems with the functionality of it as a business card holder. The hinge has not had any problems and the lip that catches the lid works just fine in holding it shut. I've also not had any problems with my business cards bending at the corners inside the case. It looks professional and is definitely unique. It's nice to pull out in front of clients or friends and does get many compliments.
The problem that I've had with the case are just the amount of fingerprints that stick to it with just one handling. You'll either have to just accept that fingerprints are a part of using this case or be using your shirt or a sunglasses cleaning cloth to clean the prints off after so much usage. To me it's honestly NOT that big of a deal because if you handle it, just like a touchscreen phone, of course it's going to get fingerprints on it. If you can't stand the thought of fingerprints then search on, at least you know what you're getting.
As for problems with any hinge and lip, mine have been sturdy from the get go. If the lip should ever not hold the cover I could probably just use some small needle nose pliers and bend it outward again so it would still catch the cover and hold it down.
4 stars. Would have been 5 without the fingerprint issue.

Great quality, awful finger printsJul 10, 2010
By A. Lee
I love the size, initial look and feel, but after handling it for 2-3 minutes, I realized it was going to be impossible to keep fingerprints off of it. If you buy this one, be prepared to constantly wipe off finger prints. It is an impressive, initial first impression when handing someone a card from your business card holder, but be aware to keep it looking nice and new, you'll have to give it constant TLC.

The truthMar 15, 2012
By AllieKirk
I bought this for my husband as a wallet for his ID, credit cards etc. as opposed to business cards. Besides that it does get finger prints on it, he loves it! He loves that its thin, not a fat wallet sticking out of his pocket. Being stainless steel, its very durable. He drops it all the time and it has a few scratches but retained its shape. You have to make sure you snap the lid shut all the way, which is a little hard. When he pulls it out he gets comments on how cool it is. A couple of his friends have purchased it because he has one.
Over all: great product!

 pretty, but kinda sucksFeb 05, 2011
By SnazzyPuss
I'm a designer and thought this card holder looked really cool so I ignored the reviews and got it anyway. Indeed, this card holder looks fab. I even went to a meeting with another designer, and we both agreed - it's fab.
But... not only does it have the hinge problem (believe me, yours will too), but the way it closes makes it really easy to mess with the top edges of your cards. So I find I am fishing around trying to find a un-screwed up card. Giving a card with worn edges does not look fab. It looks sloppy. Not the image I want to project.
I'm going to keep this card holder for special occasions -interviews maybe, or when I know I'm meeting another designer... but that's a lot of shuffling cards around. And to hold cards that I hand out daily - no.
