As it seems to be a mom and pop operation, could see sporadic QC issues popping up. See what they say. You can even let them know another buyer's are stitched around the perimeter and lined while yours is not. Like I said, really like mine even with the lining coming unglued.

I will try to post pictures of mine and you can tell me how it compares to yours. I really like it I just wish it felt more sturdy and I feel that the upper slot is too deep. My upper card slides down to about the same level as the lower one. Will hopefully email them tonight and see what they say, ill keep yall posted.

I purchased mine last week and I am happy with it so far but I feel that it could feel a bit more solid. Is this what yours looks like?

Does anyone know about the quality of the alligator skin?

Looks similar. The lining is in the card slots. Cards in the upper slot do sit low if you push them down. Honestly, the skin on mine doesn't have those "cross hatch" marks. Also, the pores are not as evident on mine.

The scales are nice, you have the pores, its not a lot of filler neck skin, matte finish looks good. Ive seen a whole hell of a lot worse quality on cases like that.

While there may be super minor QC issues, the skins are really nice. Probably gonna grab a few more in different colors/finishes. hile there may super minor QC issues, the skins are really nice. Probably gonna grab a few more in different colors/finishes.

I have an Iphone and I have a droid. the battery life on the droid is horrible IMO, and the responsiveness of the screen is not that great. I am going back to the iphone. Time to tell the droid...pretty much BNIB....freaking Verizon rip off

Well I am keeping the case, the top of it is intentionally left that way and I can life with the upper card sliding down lol

I think I am going to pull the trigger on the yellow ostrich and brown crocodile. At these prices, despite the petty quality issues, I don't think you can go wrong.

Like Spoo I would be caught dead with an exotic skin card case or wallet in a crazy color and like Spoo I think about that dark green RLPL alligator wallet with purple lining at least once a month.

Nice card case... and nice AE gold premium rewards. Did you get the special promo with 50000 bonus points? I went on a nice BB shopping spree with that.
