In search of the perfect wallet

Anonymous · ‎01-24-2015

I had the perfect wallet for about 10 years. So perfect that when I bought it I grabbed two. So durable that I never got around to the second one. Bifold, slim, 3 card stots on one side, a flipover on the other side with one card slot on top, and ID window on the back, double billfold slots. It was perfect because I only had 4 cards: two credit cards, and two debit cards.

Then in April of last year, I got another credit card. No problem, I thought, I'll just toss one in the drawer. Then in August, another credit card came along. Then began the search for a new, higher capacity wallet. I bought several different ones, and they all sucked. The biggest problem is that the card slots are so tight the cards have to be pried out. Then I found a Joseph Abboud that fit the bill. Three card slots on each side, flipover with one card slot on the front, (for business cards), and ID window on the back. Double billfold slots. Perfect! Until this month.

Three more cards added to the portfolio this month, so the search begins again.

I recently bought the elephantwallet n wallet. I like it. Lol. My old wallet's card slots were so stretched from me cramming so much in there.

I got it on eBay. This is an example of the one I currently have:

I tossed the plastic window things.

And this will be its replacement:

Lots more slots, and only slightly larger dimensions.

After the excitement dies down, I'll likely go back to my current wallet and do that. Right now I'm busy obsessing over my new cards.
