Wallet tech: Advice/reviews on low-profile/minimalist wallets

[ZomblibulaX]

My wallet shit the bed. Its actually a credit-card/ID insert from a wallet I received for my fifteenth birthday. That was in 1994. SO...

I tried a couple of standard bifolds. Hate 'em. Way too big. Plenty of cheap options out there for "slim" or "minimalist" wallets, but I wanted to know what the collective thinks. A couple caveats:

-Current wallet is 3 3/4"x 2 3/4x 3/4"(loaded). Don't want to get much bigger, particularly width.

-Needs to carry 13 cards. I know. They're not all credit cards, but I need room for my Flying J rewards card, because I have like 4 free showers on it.

-Don't carry much cash, so a money clip is not necessary.

-Would like to have a flip-out for ID.

-Would like to have outside access for at least two cards.

-Prefer leather; the whole wood/aluminum/plastic thing is a little beyond me, and seems wholly uncomfortable.

Looking at a few on Amazon:

Not trying to agonize over a $20 purchase, just want to know if anyone has positive personal experience with anything in particular. What say ye?

I like this one https://www.amazon.com/Viosi-Leather.../dp/B01BHF4P0C
My son gave it to me for xmas. I carry 6 cards and some cash, plus DL and insurance proof. It could manage a couple more cards.
Fits nicely in a front pocket--safer there, I don't have to sit on it.
Who needs 13 cards? Keep your Flying J card in your truck maybe? But if you're a truck driver aren't you supposed to have one of these

I'm around some very accomplished bike racers from time to time and I noticed they put all their shit in a zip lock baggy

I use a Lowepro nylon wallet

[Skidog]

WOW 4 free showers...you spend some coin there....

I've had a Simple Wallet from these folks for two years now after some sciatic pain.
Never lost a card or any cash.

The chain isn't big enough.

Daddy day care this week. Waiting for the HVAC guy to tell me I need to shell out $4k for a new furnace. You have a kid and see how much traipsing back and forth to the eastern seaboard you do, pal!

Fly in to trucks, not based out of home. Got three different corporate cards; the curse of at-will employment. Plus ins. cards for me and the kiddo, license/med card, and I'm too dumb to remember things if they aren't already in my pants. And those Costanza wallets give truckers permanent hip and back problems, which goes well with diabetes and prostate inflammation.

Search? What's that? Thanks.

I'm around some very accomplished bike racers from time to time and I noticed their soigneurs carry their murses to the press conference for them.

FIFY.

I searched TGR last time I needed one. Pulled this one out of one of the threads: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I like it. Has held up well over the last 6 months or so.

[Meadow Skipper]

Got this, love it. Super low-profile and forces me to keep it simple.

I carry my folding money in my pocket.

[sethschmautz]

This is seriously what I started using. I carry it everywhere with my essentials - license and a few cards. Everything else that isn't used much goes in my wallet in my bag and is rarely accessed.

Because it's so small, I carry it everywhere in my front pocket.

them biker gals all seem to go for the sweat proof zip-locks, keeps the I-phone dry as well

when we cleaned out my moms condo I got my dads old gold money clip he bought in singapore in the late 40's

[anotherVTskibum]

I really like my Flowfold wallet. No flip-out ID pocket or outside card pockets, but adding features like that makes a wallet inherently more bulky.

I have used an older version of this that lasted many years before getting worn out (but still being used )
