Don't be stupid, keep the $20 bill and send the case back for a full refund.

Yeah, 8. They are 24 bucks on avg. and I am giving them as Xmas gifts to acquaintances, nobody "serious". If they suck, so what? Ive wasted more than that on worse.

I just want to say, they came today and they are far better than I thought. Really, REALLY solid stuff here. Im going back to look for stuff for me as soon as I finish this post. IMO you really cant get much better quality for the money. http://shop.ebay.com/soulsis78556h/m.html

Thanks for the heads up. I am buying a few things right now.

Has anyone ordered card cases from this ebay seller lately? If so, is the quality still as good as before? Thanks.

Anyone else have anything bad to say about this seller? I'm thinking about asking if they have the full interior/exterior gator wallets in a glossy finish ($188). Wonder if they can do a custom color request.

with regards to the ebay seller:

I received my card case about 5 days ago and I the only problem I find is that it seems to have been glued together. I purchased the 5 card slot crocodile card holder in brown and the top part, where there is an opening, seems very flimsy. I am considering returning it for a refund, depending on how I feel about buying a more expensive one.

That sucks. I could use a new card case. My Coach one is getting a bit beat up.

 

[CalTex]

yeah tell me about it, I find myself trying to justify a $500 RLPL one now.

 

[narcissism]

Are the card cases or wallets lined with anything?

The prices seem too good to be true- is it the actual skin or just embossed leather?

So I got this one about a month ago.

The quality of the alligator is pretty good IMO. It is stitched all around, not held together entirely with glue. The center bill slot is either leather lined or alligator - not sure. The issue is that the card slots are lined with a synthetic material, which isn't bad, but it is in fact glued to the back of the alligator skin. I've used it and overstuffed it for a month. Taking the cards in and out, the lining has started to come loose. I don't think this is a big deal and plan to use a stronger contact cement to fix it. For $30 shipped, couldn't be happier - especially with the quality of the alligator skin. What I like is that by the time this thing wears out, I can pick something else without the regret of spending a few hundred on something that may last longer, but I no longer like that much over time.

no they are not lined, at least from what I can tell. Per another sf member they are real and as far as I can tell they are. What would you look for to tell if it is fake?
