I love this find. I recently ordered the Filofax Compact Saffiano Zip organizer. It was "okay". I found only two things wrong with it. (1) it was entirely too small for me and (2) I did not like my credit or debit cards inside the pouch. I like to have instant visual access to my cards. Now both of these problems have nothing to do with the product. The actual product I will give 5 stars, however this did not stop my disappointment. I knew Filofax had to have what I wanted, so I researched on. And found the Personal Metropol Zip organizer. It gave me everything I wanted in a wallet. It is about an inch & half wider that the Saffiano compact one with a slight bit larger 6 ring mechanism which is not removable (I'm am okay with that). And it offered the instant visable access to my cards. That feature is important to me because if I leave or lose my cards I will know it almost immediately. It also has space for 2 pens and a see-through back mesh pocket for cash, receipts, or items to be placed. Now, it does not offer a place to put coins and again it does not bother me since I purchase the wallet to hold my cash envelopes and have a jar to collect coins. Not to discourage anyone from purchasing the compact Saffiano, but I have a tendency to stuff my wallets and this wallets allows me the opportunity to take it too the limits. So ladies if you can't find the compact one take another look at this one. I am so much happier I did.
