      I bought mine in 2015. No problems at all besides the elastic card holder that loosened a bit after 7-8years. Since I bought mine before they provided lifetime warranty and my elastic bands are different when they first started making them, they honored my purschase and offered to send me a new wallet for free! Awesome company.

    I live in a country where the paper bills are smaller than the US, so I dont know if this would help or not but I noticed when you were talking about cash not falling off from the money strap the bills actually wiggle left and right, but I'd recommend trying to fold the bills into smaller pieces so that the width of the cash are not wider than the body of the wallet itself

    For those who fear the screws coming out.
    Put some red threadlocker on the threads of the screws (dont need much)
    And screw back in. They will stay in through vibrations and normal use. Yet you can still remove them with a little extra effort. And I would buy 2 extra cash straps to have on hand just in case they stop making them. The carbon fiber covers are naturally extremely scratch resistant from my experience. I work in construction so aluminum isn't my gig. I'm certain it would get dinged and bent.
    The titanium would be even more resistant but as an Electrician I shy away from metals in general for obvious reasons. So thats why I went with the Carbon Fiber one.

    Im thinking of getting one of these wallets but there's a couple of things I don't like bout it, if you wanna take the middle note out you have to take the whole cash out. And same with the cards, if you want the middle card you have to take out all the cards. I guess you could take only the middle card if you try and push the middle card up then take it out but too much hassle. I'm undecided atm.

    Ridge sent me a new cash strap. They are good so far at living up to their warranties! I’ve bought 2 from them and my son bought one.
