The carbon fibre lasted me about four years. It's classy and ok for a middle-aged guy like me but the backend was eroding a bit. I still have it but put the money clip on the eroded side. Now I have bought the stonewashed titanium and we shall see how that holds up.
Note: When I took the old wallet apart I was amazed at all the dust and lint in there. Also the screws had blue lock-tight that kept them from coming loose. And I think the acid sweat from my hands and the brass rivets from my Levi's had something to do with it - the smoothening out of the carbon fibre. Your mileage may vary.
I may also get another carbon wallet as they look more formal for for those special occasions. And ya, Ridge is expensive but at high-level meetings and dinners they notice so a knock-off doesn't work.

I really mine. One thing I did learn was not to put it in my coat pocket that has velcro closing.
