Bellroy Note Sleeve

I'm loving it - slim and lots of space for cards.

Slimfold wallet

It takes up minimal space! It has held up to daily abuse and survived 6 trips so far. Ive had it for 3 months now. ^

I have had this Hartmann for quite a bit and like it a lot. I carry it in my front pocket. It has a clip for bills and a place for ID on the outside and slots for a reasonable number of cards and such on the inside. Still very slim profile.

Any experiences with something SUPER SLIM, like those made of SAILBOAT CANVAS ones that I saw online? Prefer something under 20/30$ to try out.

My favorite is the first one that I ever made out of duct tape last year. It's been the best yield (functional) for lowest impact (cost) that I've ever come across. I can modify it anyway I want. I will never buy a wallet again.

I like the Tyvek wallet that I made without using tape, just origami folds.

I bought both the Hid & Seek and Slim Sleeve from Bellroy. The goal was to keep just one, but overall the quality is less than what I expected and neither is any slimmer than my 15yo money clip (with 2 slots and internal pocket) from Tumi. Sadly disappointed, and probably returning both,

I got this Access Denied bifold wallet as a Christmas present. I like it a lot:

I take a thick hair band and double-wrap it around my stack of ~15 cards. The profile in my pocket is still much smaller than half that many cards in a standard wallet.

When traveling, though, I generally only carry 4 and use a bigskinny.

That's teh one that has two rows of cards, right? The link is not coming up right for me, so I am only getting tiny images. How do you find that fits in your pocket? I have considered that, but worry I would have trouble taking it out of my pocket or it taking up too much space.

I use a Hartmann bifold which I picked up at their outlet store in Lebanon TN (about 30 minutes east of BNA) a few years ago. I have two HID Proximity cards so one goes behind each of the four-card slde storage areas, and the left side has a photo for the DL.

It is pretty beat up, the color of the leather is evolving from light tan to dark tan/black from the wear and tear. But it's otherwise in fantastic condition.

Internationally or when going to sporting events, I have a cheap $9 Target velcro wallet... just enough to hold one credit card, a room key, a photocopy of my DL in case I'm hit by a bus, and some local currency.

The Capsule wallet was a Kickstarter project. Perfect minimalist design with awesome quality.

None. I use a money clip in my front pocket with two credit cards, driver's license, and whatever cash I'm carrying. Slimmer than any wallet and tougher to steal.
