Who’s got what and would you buy it again? Something for a few cards and notes  nothing more.

(Nothing with “tactical” in the product description please 😀)

My wife bought me this set:  http://www.tedbaker.com/uk/Home-and-Gifts/Mens-Gifts/Gifts-For-Him/DIGESSY-Leather-wallet-and-card-holder-gift-set-Tan/p/141839-TAN

I have yet to use the larger wallet, I only tend to use a large wallet on holiday when I have actual notes on me rather than cards.

The card wallet is perfect for 6-8 cards and a couple of notes.

Bellroy card pocket 

Just the right size and durable.

I should add that I have one of their phone cases, which started to fall apart. They sent me a new one no hassle, so good customer service too.

Freebie plastic train ticket wallet until it fell apart, now using my Ski Club of GB wallet 😀 (not sure what they intended it for other than the ski club membership card or maybe for lift pass cards or something).

Just for bike rides, for a card, ID/ICE and cash.

I was given a Mont Blanc business card holder - it's got a couple of slots for cards, which is fine as I only have 2, and a couple of pockets for notes. It's about as slim profile as I have ever seen - ideal for me. Hate massive wallets with loads of car slots, when I only have/use one on  regular basis.

Not cheap mind!

I really like the upcycled innertube wallet I got from a craft fair in Ghent. There are loads on the Etsy website.  It’s slim, hard wearing & is a bit grippy too so won’t slip out of a back pocket. I’ve got about four cards & some notes in mine & it’s much softer & thinner than leather so shapes to your body.

Cheap-ish, has been pretty good for the last 3 years and it sees a lot of heavy use!

iClip excellent slim wallet I wasn’t too sure of the quality when it arrived almost a year ago but it’s still going strong and looks like new.

Trove here, had it after a thread on here. I bought a Hacket collaboration one, but it's basically a trove and it's brilliant. It's all i've used since the beginning of last year and have no plans to change

The ONLY downside is that it's SO small and slim that I sometimes forget it's in my pocket and then don't notice when I take those trousers off and put them away

I use a Dynomighty one.  Cheap and simple.  Paper is pleasantly 'slidey' for getting out of pockets, but that might mean it falls out if you're clumsy (not been a problem for me)

Just ordered a trove. Thanks all.

I have a normal wallet for everyday use but as I have to keep all receipts, it just ends up really fat and won’t now go back to normal size even when I empty it. So in my skinny jeans and fitted chino shorts, it just ends up looking silly. Slim wallet is for social use only as I’ll just keep a curve card & an emergency card in there with all other cards loaded on.

Ever since I got a Curve card, I only carry one card, load all your other payment cards into it, and only need to carry 1 card, and Stocard on my phone for all the loyalty cards.

I use a single card slim phone case (little slot on the back for 1 card.

Really simple solution, and nothing is slimmer/cheaper/more durable than “no wallet at all”

(notes in pocket for the odd occasion I use cash)

Have had an Elephant Wallet, one of these Elephant for about 4 years and it's still going strong.

Highly recommended.

Hehe. 😜

To be fair though, they are the only card company I’ve ever seen that only put the logo on the back of the card.
