Yes, I had this problem with a new vernis Sarah NM wallet and discovered it after I got home and put my cards in it. I have had other Sarah wallets and knew the slots could be tight when new, but with this one I literally could not get my cards out of the four front slots. I felt it might be because they were pressing against the cards behind it and due to the nature of the vernis leather, I wasn't sure it would get better. It was my first vernis wallet and as beautiful as it was (and I loved the color!), I exchanged it for a Ramage Sarah.
