I like the color of pomme better, but for everyday use, I say mono. I have the mono zippy and don't worry about anything happening to it. For my pop of color, I have a pomme agenda. It doesn't get handled nearly as much as my wallet (plus I keep it in its dust bag in my purse). I also have the black MC zippy wallet, so that add colors too (i just got it this week, so I have yet to use it).
