I have almost the same one except mine is older. I love it.

You would be amazed at how bad sitting on a wallet can mess up your back. Front pocket FTW!

i use a back wallet and honestly i sit on it for maybe 5 hours a month
if im at work/house/in the car its not in my pocket. pretty much the only time its actually in my pocket is if im at dinner or a movie or something else where i need it and ill be sitting down

I assume most do something similar
 
Ferragamo card case lately. Liking the front pocket carry. Like this but in black with more subtle embossing:

For back pocket this Dunhill bi-fold:

Leather bifold with coin pocket. I specifically buy the wallet with a coin pocket to hold stuff that normally doesn't go in the normal parts of the wallet. This bulks up the wallet.
 
I have a leather thing that just holds cards, folds across the narrow part of the card, if that makes sense. top part has a window for id.

cash goes in front pocket, not wallet. that's for suckers.
 
Big Skinny. changed my wallet life. only issue is with some of the more compact ones you sometimes feel the wallet isn't even in your pocket, making you think you lost it. but a quick pat onto your pocket will alleviate those fears.

carrying a slim wallet has been such a pleasure.
 
I carry a two pocket card sleeve carrying three cards: driver's license, a debit card and a credit card. Any other cards I have are kept in my car: auto registration, auto insurance card, grocery store discount cards, gift cards, etc. They get thrown into my pocket as needed.

Bills are folded in half, no band or clip, and carried in the same front pocket. I can reach into my pocket and easily pull out either the card sleeve or the bills, or both. I use cash a lot and find I spend much less time wrestling with bills carried this way than in any other.

I had to look closely:

That actually is the exact same one I use. Its just mine is so old and beat up that I didn't recognize what it looked like new.

I would buy a new one but it still works flawlessly. So small but I pack a ton of shit in there.
 
What do you guys do with coins? Do you just not carry it out and whatever you get in return is thrown into the pocket?

My current wallet has a coin pocket that snaps open and shut and whenever I use it I feel like a woman. 😀

BTW, I'm really liking that Big Skinny option. May go with the curve bifold leather.

what are these coins you speak of?
 
I go as minimalist as I can these days. So I use a Hex Solo iPhone 5 Wallet case.

It only holds two cards, which is all I need. If I do need more, like when my wife asks me to hold her cards, I have another case with a Card Ninja on the back, which can hold 7 or 8 cards.

When I was carrying a wallet, I used a Jimi.

Before that, I tried a bunch of typical leather pouch wallets, but they were all too bulky. At one point, in my youth, I even just used a rubber band.
