Slim 3-Pocket Card Holder Wallet

I haven't gotten comfortable enough carrying around just a cellphone, but this wallet is a step in the right direction. Hopefully it will be acceptable to use the ID stored in the phone everywhere, not just in the airport. Until then, I feel it is necessary and like having a few extra dollars in cash in my pocket despite people frequently asking for money.

I just realized that this wallet has now survived 5 years of fairly heavy use, traveling with me all over the world, and it is still performing as if it is was brand new. I have never, ever had a wallet last more than a few years before it starts to come apart. Usually the card slots get loose and then the cards start to fall out of them or things start to fray or whatever, but this thing is still fine. If it somehow died tomorrow I would buy another one immediately. Most people only write reviews to dump on crummy products, but people who make quality stuff like this deserve to get recognized for it.What makes it so good is that it is very, very light, and incredibly durable, just big enough for what most people need. So for the right person, this is pretty much an ideal wallet. That person travels light, with a few cards, a small amount of cash and a driver's license. They don't have piles of cash, old receipts, business cards and junk in their wallet. If that sounds like you, then this is your new wallet, just buy it. Seriously.---Original review:It really does lighten up your wallet to shift to this. The pocket seems to hold about 3-4 cards each side, plus a small amount of cash folded in half in the middle. It is precisely designed to fit U.S. money in the middle and cards on each side. So far it all seems secure and nothing feels like it will fall out. If you are a guy who still pays cash for everything, this is probably not your dream wallet, as getting out the folded wad of money, then paying with it, and then refolding your change neatly in half is a little more involved than just pulling bills out of a traditional wallet. But since I barely ever pay cash for anything anymore, this is no big deal at all. I will take an 80% lighter wallet all day every day over a little extra step when paying cash.I've run with it as my daily wallet for about a month at this point, and it shows no signs of wear. It seems pretty solidly put together and likely to hold up, but time will tell on that.UPDATE: This thing is 2 years old and still going strong. I can probably get 6 cards a side in it now, as it has stretched out just a tiny bit. But it has not stretched to the point that anything feels insecure, it still holds all the cards securely, even if I have only one or two in each side. It runs in my front pocket and disappears in there. It continues to kind of suck if you use a lot of cash regularly, but you can carry enough cash in the middle pocket that you never have to worry about being short of paper money when you need it. Pretty much the ideal wallet for the typical, modern man who has to keep some cash on hand for occasional use but normally puts everything on a card day-to-day. If you are using this overseas, note that it really cannot handle the bigger bills in some countries, this is a US focused wallet.

I've had this wallet for a few weeks now, so I feel like I can properly review it now. This is the BEST wallet I have ever owned. I hate purses. I refuse to carry one, but I'm a woman, and the fashion industry tries to force purses on us by not making ANY pockets in women's pants.For the past few years, I've been carrying my cards around in a cigarette case that I bought in a Hallmark store. And it was great, but the bands inside are all stretched, and it's having trouble closing now, and it's a little bulky in my pocket (when I have one to use).I bought this wallet because it will hold more cards than my cigarette case, and I can actually hold some cash. There was no room in the cigarette case for anything more than plastic. Right now, I have 6 cards on one side, 3 on the other side, and 6 bills (U.S. dollars) in the sleeve in the middle. The cards and the cash are very secure, even when there are only a couple of cards in it. Even though I have the wallet stuffed pretty well, it is still easy to slide the cards out. It takes a little more effort to get the cash out but not much. You do have to remove the whole stack of bills to get to just one, but it's an extremely minor inconvenience for me, since I wasn't able to carry cash at all before I got this wallet.My husband is also a big fan of minimalist wallets, so I'm going to get him one. I bought the white one. It's very well made and I expect it to last me for many years.***The only con I have found is that the side where I have 6 cards has stretched out a little. If I remove some of the cards and turn the wallet upside down, they do try to slip out but the lip (binding) at the top has caught them. I bought this wallet because it would fit so many cards, so I have no intention of removing any of them from the wallet. Just an FYI, though.

With 7 cards and 5 bills of US money this is thinner than my leather wallet after I completely emptied it. I did have to shed some cards I used to carry but phone apps have replaced all of those anyway.This is my second one, after losing the first. This time I got the cyan, which is actually darker and I would call it teal. Which I like better by the way. Originally I had the black / clear one which blended in too well on my cluttered dresser top or desk. I lost track of that one several times. This one should be more obvious if I leave it laying somewhere.My only requests for improvement:1. A little bit "longer" to make it easier to get stuff out of the center pocket.2. Rounded corners. I don't think they could round all 4 because its folded, even 2 would be nice.
