  Wow, that thing is bulgy and unrefined. I can't imagine ever wanting to put that in my pocket.

  A proper weld is stronger than the material itself. That is how you test a part, You bend it and make sure its not the weld that gives out.

  In 2005 I designed the first folded wallet made of a single sheet of Tyvek because I wanted to give myself a design challenge to find a folding configuration to make a wallet but also I knew that even the best leather wallet eventually breaks down not because of the leather but the stitching. Tyvek being incredibly thinner and more eco-friendly are also added advantages of the Mighty Wallet design.
  
  Many of our customers have wallets that are several years old and even some from the very first production run! Check us out.

  As proven in the above comments, end-users are rarely the best source for initial new-product preliminary design ideas. Their strengths lie in post-production product-improvement design iterations...Where can I purchase the 2013 version of this wallet?
  I need a suitable wedding present for my beloved nephew...He's a post-modern traditionalist, with a mildly avant-garde, yet refined and sophisticated sense of style...And my future daughter-in-law keeps trying to make him more "trendy"!...*grin*...

  I agree, Usually where my wallets fail is at the corners of the pockets that hold the cards. Eventually the cards inflexibility wear through the leather and leave holes.

  Hmm.... Al Roderick (Above) speaks some truth, if the welder is good, or the carpenter, the joint is stronger than the materials usually. As were the other commenters. This wallet looks like style over substance and looks much like the opposite of what i look for in a wallet; a slim profile.
  From what i can see, it doesn't even look like the leather is skived to aid the natural hinge which is fairly standard. Looks like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist, and one that introduces more problems of its own.

  Intriguing idea, but not certain if it's truly an issue. Personal experience with my wallets has not ever shown a problem with weak seams, but maybe that's only myself. If it were indeed an actual issue with wallets, I could understand the need for it to be addressed, so maybe he's been in some rougher circumstances than I.

  Another thing most leather workers know is when to thin the leather in places where it's folded against itself. This creates a non-bulging fold. A wallet made from 3mm leather folded over 6 times is not the best idea without some thinning.

  The theory and execution is noteworthy but the wallet is chunky and can barely stay flat with nothing inside. If you put a few cards in there, it will baloon to a size that you can't sit on.
  
  Form definitely does not follow function in this case.

  The quote is incorrect when it generalizes out from flexible items. A seam in a garment is generally the first place to fail under tension, especially if the fabric is something tough like silk or leather. A glued joint or weld in a properly-built wood or metal structure, on the other hand, is the last place to fail. I've seen a chair leg break two inches away from a peg and glue join without even a creak from the join itself.
