The reviewer reports that most Folio 5 pockets do not close, causing concern that lipstick and cards could fall out. The product description identifies the Folio 5 as lightweight, vegan leather, and lined, alongside a thirty-day money-back guarantee. The reviewer found transferring the Folio 5 between bags easy, requiring removal of its loop before attaching it inside another bag.
When attached to purses with zippered openings, the Folio 5 prevents the reviewer’s wife from closing those bags. The reviewer notes that the Folio 5 lacks a loose-change compartment, so his wife still carries her wallet to manage coins.
