I received this wallet and wasn't that happy with the quality. I thought I'd give it a try anyway. When I tried to put my checks in the checkbook holder I found that it was too small! I had to cut the backing of my checks in order to fit them into the check book. Once I got them in, the checkbook wouldn't close. I've never had this problem before. I guess I'm going to have to go to the trouble of sending it back. My advice is that you pass on this wallet. It was disappointing.
