    Damn...i may need to switch it up. Looking at my wallet now and well, it's big. Guess that's a Costanza.

    My commuting passes, work ID and CCs make it tough

    I have this one too. License, debit card, and company credit card plus a few bills is hardly noticeable. I went with the strap instead of the money clip, seemed like it would be thinner.

    Only regret I have is cheating out and not getting the titanium one.

    I use a binder clip. That’s it. I stick old business cards on the ends to avoid scratching the magnetic strip on cards.

    Mine has the money clip and I will be ordering a new one with the band. It works much better. The titanium one in ok. I went with the aluminum and like it just as well. The weight savings is very minimal.

    The strap has held up well. I was worried it would get stretched over time but it is just fine. I was only looking at the titanium for looks, I like the way it looks after it’s heated up.

    No money in my wallet...I keep my bills as close to my nutsack as possible.

    Thanks, very similar to the Tumi I use but much more cost effective. Just ordered 1.

    Mine is a "meedo" brand but I'm sure they are all the same Chinese manufacturer. It's seen better days but for going on 3 years and less than $10 I have zero complaints and won't hesitate to buy another and I'm super hard on my wallets. I know the RFID blocker thingy works on mine because hotel keys and my employee badge don't work while in my wallet.

    List of a bunch of similar minimalist wallets.

    The one I bought, no longer available.

    Love this. Question . With taking the cards in and out, over time, do the slots start to get "wore out" per say and the cards fall out?



    Same question.. I love these styles, and fixing to purchase something.

     

  16. I have two, each about 10 years old. Cards don’t fall out.

    On the second question - my ass is not numb, so I’ve never had a problem :)

    OTOH, the huge wallet I have to carry here in Europe to hold cash, coins, and cards causes pain if I sit on it :(

    If I shake the hell out of the wallet they'll eventually fall out, but I've never had one fall out from aggressive wear and tear. I crawl under vehicles and trailers all the time with no issues, I'll toss the wallet into the car/truck or somewhere in the house and never have an issue. Some of the faux leather as started to peel but none of the stitching has come apart and no integrity issues. I'll get another 1 or 2 years out of it, maybe 3; but for the $8 I paid I'll take a wallet that lasts 4-6 years.

    So I got the Allett wallet recommended by @Once a Wanker.. and it's very well constructed. I got the nylon version with ID and it should serve my purposes. The only thing I had to get rid of the kids pics in the wallet, but with phones now, it's fine.

    The only issue that i have is that it doesn't close on it's own, maybe because I still have a lot of stuff, so I had to use my daughter's hair tie.

    It's definitely smaller, to the point I look like I'm feeling up myself at the checkout line, just to make sure I didn't forget my wallet. Definitely a worthwhile purchase.

    As a former member of the Costanza club, I’ve been using the Ridge Wallet & love it.

    I like the industrial design of the Ridge, but seems to me the metal "sandwich" ends are already awfully thick for what that actually have to do? Seems like they could get away having them half the thickness and still serve the same purpose.

    Also, the carbon model is really just metal (aluminum) with carbon cover plates? Seems to defeat the purpose.

    Wonder if any retailers carry it so I can hold it in the hand first?
