anyways what wallets to you guys use? pictures if allowed?.

going to search for a card wallet to house my bank card,freedom, zync and my i.d.

i hardly carry cash these days. and these skinny jeans(that i dont wear) that seem to be popular cant support a bulky wallet.

I use a standard tri-fold. I have never carried cash in my wallet. I carry ID, CC's, business cards I may need, ect in my waller. Cash (when my wife lets me have some) goes in a money clip in my front pocket.

This is my wallet...a Guess bifold....I had a money clip originally that I got from a bar here (Captain Morgan branded) but I couldn't fit any of my cards in there anymore because I'm one of those people who insists on carrying EVERY card I own...all my credit cards, all my debit cards, all that good stuff. I should really consolidate into one bank since I have like 9 debit cards now that I rarely use.

(I think this picture should be fine since all of the actual card details are covered by my wallet, if not, sorry mods, feel free to remove) :D

It started bulging because I still have too many cards in there, I think I may just stop carrying all my debit cards with me since I never use them (except my paypal which is connected to smart connect) This wallet was cheap anyways, got it at macys and I paid my sister in cash and she used her macys card that she just opened and it was 20% off, ended up coming out to I think..15 dollars or something. It's a little bulkier than my money clip but at least it fits everything.

What's a receipt? ....

Whenever I get something (other than purchases of things like electronics and stuff over $200 where I would need a receipt to return) the receipt either goes directly in the trash, or stays at the counter, or on the table (in a restaurant).

I have a wife and 2 kids. I don't need a wallet. Don't keep anything long enough to put in it.

I was actually just searching this board for such a thread. I need new wallet to celebrate my new found credit cards. I will be removing my Amex Prepaid card and placing the following new cards: Amex Zync, Amex Delta, Walmart Discover and CU Rewards MC. These will join my two rebuilder cards: Cap1 and WF.

I almost want to put my Amex cards in protective sleeves :) (also hoping for some backdating but not sure if they can locate info)

So any good wallets for say 8 cards (6 above plus normal debit card and business card)

I'm a big fan of minimal wallets that don't add a lot of bulk to the bulk of the cards/bills I want to carry.

My current favorites are:

The Slimfold Wallet is my everyday. Made of Tyvek so it's super-strong with minimal bulk. Holds 10 cards and some bills comfortably.

http://slimfoldwallet.com/?page_id=5

For a night out when I only need a couple cards, an ID, and a couple bills, I use the Jimi. Mine holds 4 cards one side and a few bills in the built-in money clip the other side. If you get the JimiX version, the money clip moves to the outside giving you a little more room for cards inside.

http://www.thejimi.com/

For formal occasions, I have a black version of this Martin Margiela card holder. I've yet to find a non-leather wallet I'd want to whip out when I'm wearing a tux or a nice suit, but this manages to be less bulky than the typical bi-fold/tri-fold leather wallet. I load it with a few cards and ID, and maybe a couple of tickets if I'm off to the opera/ballet/whatever.

Oh! Also, for those who like to stand out, I recommend Poketo wallets.

http://poketo.com/shop/wallets

They are constantly changing the lineup with different artists creating their limited edition art wallets. They're all made of paper laminated in plastic. The only catch is they're not very durable, but that just encourages you to change it up with new designs. I tended to destroy one of these every 6 months as my everyday wallet until I found the less-arty but more-durable Slimfold.
