My brother (who lives in San Francisco) made fun of me and told me that it would fall apart in a few months and I would be sorry that I bought it.

I've got a leather wallet for $5. My wife thought it was going to fall apart in a few months as well. I still have the wallet in my pocket this after 3 years, and I use it everyday.
Unfortunately, I'll have to replace it soon.
