What's a good minimalist wallet?

I take it you don't want to be as minimalist as a rubber band?

Next up would be a card holder with money clip (could be attached).

Next would be a bi-fold wallet (dimensions slightly larger than card) with attached money clip.

Something like this is pretty minimalistic.

or this

The size of a rubber band would be nice, but I'm not about to sacrifice convenience for size.

Nobody carries wallets anymore. They went out with powdered wigs. All you need is just a couple of cards and your bankroll.

Guess I didn't mention that I wanted to separate my cards (i.e. one card per pocket). It might be irrational, but I don't like having the embossed digits rubbing on other cards, and besides, you're not supposed to keep cards with the magnetic stripes facing each other anyway.

:confused:

EDIT: :laugh: One card per wallet pocket. I thought you actually meant you want to keep each card in different pockets in your pants.

I was going to recommend a psychologist, not a wallet.

Bought my wallet at Walmart a few years ago. The cards are held in there with one of them card-holding plastic thingies, which was probably right there with the wallets.
It's a basic fabric wallet with a velcro closing strip thing. Yeah, I'm really up on my wallet terminology.

I got at Macy's a long time ago a trifold that the size of a credit card. It has two credit card pockets on the ends and a license slot in the middle.

I rubber band the cards and fold the bills over it. It's easy to pull out cash or slide out a card, and its only as bulky as what you're carrying (which if you're me, isnt much cash! :))

I got a Dockers wallet, that has a small 3 card leather wallet inside a bigger one. I keep the big one at home unless I need all the cards, and generally just take the small one around. Works well for me.
