Durable wallets are hard to come by nowadays and most wallets in stores are made from flimsy, yet expensive leather that won't last long. The 'Fusion Wallet' is a wallet that's made to last.
The wallets are made from two aluminum plates that are held together by hard rubber and are enclosed in gorgeous hardwood. The wallet can hold up to eight plastic cards, several paper bills or a dozen or so business cards. The durable wallets are strong enough to hold an 18-pound muscle plate. The beautiful infusion of metal and wood isn't just practical, but is also aesthetically pleasing and appeals to the senses.
Most wallets claim to be durable, but most of those wallets probably can't even hold a five-pound dumbbell.
