I've had the same wallet for the past 9 years. I need something new. Most of you guys probably have the same problem with ahving a TON of junk in your wallet and its so damn big it gets annoying to even carry around.

Have anyone of you found a suitable replacement? Like a money clip or a super thin wallet?

I only need to lug around 1 credit card, ID, maybe 4-5 bills, and 2 other plastic cards.

I haven't carried a wallet in 40yrs.

So you just stare decidedly at vendors until they give you stuff for free?

I might have to try that.

Ha, no I just use my pockets. There conveniently placed.  ;)

they have a few diff models/colors of this.

Leslie's bringing back hip bags in Austin.  Those are always an option.  Actually, I think Krolik wears one.

For the record, that is NOT me

I love my wallet.

It came with a tank bag.

I clean out all the extraneous bullshit from it frequently.

True, it's not.

You only wish your totties were that big!!  [cheeky]

+1 on Fossil wallets.  High quality that lasts a long time, lots of places to put things and not expensive at all.

I've got a rayskin wallet - they are darn near indestructable, and look cool IMHO.

I gave up on wallets 20+ years ago. Believe it or not I use a medium size binder clip from Office Depot. Works great as a money clip and I can change colors if I want to! [laugh] Drove my ex-wife crazy. I think she bought me two different wallets one year as gifts but I never used them.

I carry a wallet, used to carry a money clip though.  I've got a nice engraved clip.  The current wallet, that has taken a ton of abuse is a Geoffrey Beane that I found at Wal-Mart. It's you basic single-fold wallet, license sleeve, space for 12 cards and of course a full-length bill area.

thats hilarious. i would love a wallet as a gift, but ultimately im trying to get away from mine. I hate carrying it aorund. Ill take a look at the links here later tonight.

Are money clips or ultra slim wallets better for carrying the bare essentials. I feel like if i had a money clip, my ID would fall out if i pull a bill out or something.

you carry a purse now?












 [evil]

+1!

Mine is from Office Max.  Chrome.

Notthing works better.

I carry a cheap Samsonite business card folder that I got at office max for $10

i hate large wallets, and it forces me to economize on what I am carrying around with me. 

I've been using Tumi wallets for about 10-12 years.

First leather, but that ends up streatching a little.

In the last 7-8 years I swtiched to the ballistic nylon, no complaints.  One of the few non-leather wallets that still looks like a big boys wallet.

get a money clip (or magnetic ones) if you travel light and don't carry alot of plastic. 

I got one of these recently and like it alot

i hate carrying a wallet too, but feel it's a necessity to have all the stuff it holds.  however, for times when i think i'll be safe economizing my wife got me a gucci card case wallet.  i couldn't find the exact one but it's similar to the one in the link below.  it's got a middle section where you can put some cash, then a slot on both outer sides for cards.  i carry my license, 2 ATM/credit cards, my health insurance card, and some cash.  it's super thin and can fit into any pocket without feeling bulky.  and i feel it's more secure than having all my stuff in a money clip.

now if only i could find a way to slim down my key chain  [roll]

Make sure you only get a magnetic one if you plan on carrying No plastic.
A magnetic money clip can make the strip on the back of your card useless.
Don't ask me how I know this  [roll]

I have one very similar to this:
(http://cache.jcpenney.com/storeimages/large/0900631b81b3bf35L.jpg)

the side you can't see has an ID window.

Been using one of these for years, i like the magnetic ones better, and it doesn't harm my credit cards.

... binder clips. And when I slim the stash down to the basic id, charge card and a few bills I can go with a smaller binder clip. We're talking cheap and efficient here... and colorful!! [laugh]

I had a fossil for almost 15 years and replaced it with another one which I didn't like.  It never 'broke in' and was always uncomfortable after about 6 months.  My wife asked what I wanted for christmas last year and I asked for one of these.

http://www.leathergoodsconnection.com/wallets.html (http://www.leathergoodsconnection.com/wallets.html)

I got the small size ponderosa and only use the chain when I'm on my bike or at the street fair or something.

They have smaller/slimmer ones than the ponderosa, but it broke in after a couple days compared to my last fossil which is now gathering dust in my closet.  A little pricey but made in america sold me on it.
