    So I have been looking in vein for some time to find a replacement wallet for myself.

    I didn't think that I was so darn picky, but apparently I am.

    Here is what I am looking for.

    • front pocket carry
    • Thin, thin, thin. fully loaded. Thin.
    • space for IDs and cards (lets say 10)
    • holds loose bills. Either wallet style or moneyclip

    I've tried a few of the minimal type and once I load the cards the loose bills are difficult and pulling the cards out is more like pulling out the whole stack and then thumbing through.

    I use a money clip. Some cash, 2 cards and drivers license only. Very minimal.

    There is an iPhone cover that does all that, it's pretty slick if you carry your phone on you all the time.

    You know how may pairs of skinny jeans I need to cover my Arse?!?

    I'm currently using something similar to the Zeroz. I like the concept, but folding the bills is a pain and its not easy to thumb the cards.

    I'm still using the Interlagos plaid wallet I bought when I had my GTI - it's made by a company called Walletwerks (WalletWerks).

    They make slim card holders and feature a few different automotive fabrics, which is awesome.

    Fancy Boy or Hipster?

    Maybe you'd want to try a European carry-all. :D

    One of my partners has managed to save every slip of paper he's ever come across since the wallet was given to him at age 14. Now, at age 54, it's so big it no longer qualifies as a carry on, and it has to go through baggage claim--even with that, he's edging toward a fee for oversized luggage.

    Might be a nice addition since I am driving a GTI as my DD.

    Nothing is really going to be thin, thin, thin with 10 cards in it.

    This one here I picked up a couple years ago to keep from accumulating $#!+ and walking around with a Costanza Special.

    Carries all the necessary evils and can slide into the front pocket when necessary.

    I pack only what my a$$ can stand. Cash in a clip and nothing but plastic, some medical cards and a calendar in my old Justin.

    Best wallet I've ever had. It hold a bunch of cards and cash and it's so thin I don't notice it. I got the leather on the outside version. They have other type too. Also check groupon for discounts.

    What's wrong with a big fat bi-fold in your rear pocket? You're very hip and classy since you lean like an Italian tower when you sit. :wink:
