The end of an era has come.

I'm a big fan of the hard case wallets. I used to use the leather fold type, but nothing I carried would survive in there. The breaking point came when I had a doctors appointment and had to present my health card. Never will I forget the shame I felt as I handed my card to the receptionist - in 3 pieces. The look of disappointment/disgust/disbelief in her eyes will stay with me.
Apparently the metal case will also block magnetic fields & RFID type stuff, but I don't know how much of a real concern that is. It's like a tinfoil hat for your credit cards!

The "trick" is not to put anything where the fold is, other than cash.

What the hell are people carrying that need anything more than the front pocket type wallet? I have 3 CC's, two personal one company, debit card which I only use for ATM's, Costco card, DL, health directive and health plan cards. Literally 9 "cards".

The only cards I carry are DL, CC, bank ATM and health. Registration and insurance are in the car.
