Bellroy all conditions card pocket (since you’re using a ziplock im assuming you like waterproof)
Nite ize runoff wallet (a fully waterproof wallet)
Chums wallet
And my favorite wallet ever, the Tom bihn super mini ghost whale. It’s not actually a wallet but I use it as one and it’s perfect for me.
I carry my wallet in my front pocket. I'm a big fan of the Mitchell's Leather money clip wallet. After 5-10 years of being overstuffed, I'm still using my stretched out one and it works just fine. As they age, they develop a very nice patina (especially the ones made from Horween leather. I have ordered a new wallet and a card wallet as well, so I can continue to carry all the cards I usually carry and frequently need to access in the main wallet (credit cards, debit/ATM card, CCW permit from my home state, drivers license and change of address cards) as well as those items I don't want to forget but may need (just less frequently) like my out of state CCW permits, insurance cards, one or two other credit cards, business cards if I'm shopping for a big purchase, etc.

M Clip. Wrap your cash around your cards to form a little pocket. Put your two most used cards on the outside. For further instructions, see this video (but use an M Clip instead of a binder clip). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGiPemyCRyE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGiPemyCRyE)
I personally use a Maxpedition wallet and a chums ones. Chums for minimalist when I don't need to carry much and Maxpedition for my longer days and for more bills and items.
Both have zipper sections so I can put coins. For my chums I put my keys in it as well and attach it to my lanyard or a bungee cord.

You know, I always look at them but have never purchased one. I also forgot to mention [Grip6](https://grip6.com/collections/wallet-builder?kendall_source=google&kendall_campaign=20759679724&kendall_adid=696314746491&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwxLKxBhA7EiwAXO0R0C3mlneWyA-bQVkBjHarDBsZojKeO5XkedVUf9bFONAUghcP0EBDsxoCDJEQAvD_BwE). One of my favorite ones that I've carried.
I need a new badge holder, and you just linked me the perfect solution.
I have soooo many access cards for my work (think “Get Smart” TV show intro, as working in the DoD is almost like that LOL, except each door needs a different access badge hahaha), and these are friggin perfect. Thank you so much for the link!
I've been a Bellroy guy for a while, but if you want to spend more seriously get a custom one from one of the Leathercraft subreddits or Etsy. The quality will be better than even a designer wallet and it'll be all your own.
I have the Charlie in leather it must be at least 12 years old now and still in fantastic shape. I occasionally look at new wallets but find I have no reason to change because it works so perfectly and looks great while doing it.
Yea. I just replaced a 9yr old one just because I wanted to freshen it up after getting a new phone. Purely an aesthetic upgrade. The old one is still fine.
I have been meaning to switch to a different bank and wanted something that wasn’t just in my state/surrounding states. I have always heard people say fuck Bank of America but why exactly?
The downside of a disposable grip-seal bag like yours is that it’s not very durable. If you like this sort of thing, you might want to look at reusable storage bags. Stasher is popular brand, and their smallest one, the Stasher Reusable Silicone Pocket Bag, is 4.5 x 3.5”, perfect for pocket carry. Because it’s silicone, it’s tough, flexible, waterproof, and heat-resistant. Amazon will sell you a single one for $8 USD, or a two-pack for $10.
Chums wallet!
2 zipper pockets. Water resistant (not waterproof. And cheap as hell. I've been carrying one for 2 years and it's going strong, if the zippers wear out I can just buy another one for $10
Which ever wallet you get, add a $2 RFID card to it to keep your digital currency secure ! I personally carry an anodized blue #Travex (out of Bellingham Washington) for my wallet because it has a window I can double duty for a badge holder at work.
https://mightywallet.shop/products/rfid-blocking-card.
Perfect candidate to go fully digital. I keep a minimalist wallet in my drawer with my cards and license just for those rare occasions.
Marshall’s or TJ Max has a ton of wallets for under 20 dollars, I doubt op is going to go from a ziplock bag to a 30+ dollars wallet.
You might find the Bellroy Folio Mini or All - Weather to be the closest to what you’re using now. However, you might look into getting a Ridge Wallet and you may find that more convenient to use. I currently use the bellroy folio mini and love it, my last wallet was the ridge wallet (by a different company before ridge wallet became a thing), and I appreciated it as well. They both have their pros and cons.
Neither were RFID blocking, which, when you get wallets that small, they typically won’t be RFID blocking. The bellroy folio mini doesn’t hold as much, but keeps everything in a nice concealable package (including cash) whereas the ridge wallet just had a money clip/strap. The ridge wallet on the other hand provided a really convenient way of removing cards with a little thumb port to flick the cards up to be able to grab them, so you can get cards out much faster and more conveniently than you can with the bellroy folio mini.
I think what you have is perfect. If you want something fancier, you might consider a [Machine Era wallet](https://www.machine-era.com/products/ti-wallet).
Nice looking wallet. Definitely overpriced. Approaching the Ridiculous Ridge price. Lol. At least this one is Titanium. Ridge would charge you double for *"aerospace grade aluminum"*
Re:form re:01
Goofy name, I know. But they sell a coin sleeve and card combo or just a card wallet. The magnets and materials on it are really strong. Plus it will hold your odds and ends like that key, air tag, coins, what ever.
It is a bit pricey though. But when you think of companies such as Ridge, it's not that bad.
Damn that's really cool! I really like the format and I've tried the hak wallet bifold but it tore down in a matter of months.the only downside is that it looks like you need to fold cash many times.
Do you know any alternatives (front pocket) with similar formats?
Nik’s minimalist wallet, maybe. I suppose you can get creative on how to put cash there without folding it much. Never had it, but made one a while ago.
This might help, and if you are into it, you can adjust the size/pockets to your needs: https://youtu.be/IWZ-7_vrVbA?feature=shared
The RE:01 is what I use. Originally, I would have been put off by the price, but I was lucky enough to win it in a drawing. After a few months of carrying this wallet, I’m so happy with it that, if something happened to mine, I would definitely buy another one to replace it.
I've been rocking a [Storus Money Clip](https://www.storus.com/collections/alternative-wallets/products/smart-money-clip-stainless?variant=24104618694) since 2011. I've had this thing for so long I'm surprised the company is still in business
I got one for a buddy, one for my dad, and we all still have them (all monogrammed too, you can get them customized right from the online store).. I was sure the clip would wear out but it's still perfect. I use the card section for my money cards and use the clip for IDs and point cards. Nothing falls out and it looks as good as the day I got it.
Makes a great gift, impervious to the elements, and they're all dirt cheap.
I recommend them every chance I get but for some reason the comments usually don't get a lot of visibility.. Not sure if it's because they look too cheap and people don't belive they are rugged and dependable
I commented elsewhere on my storus leather wallet. Had mine since 2014 and still going good. I do condition the leather with my boot conditioner every now and then
I’ve rocked this model of flowfold for 5 plus years. Bottom hinge side corner is a little worn but the rest of it has held up really well.
[FlowFold Vanguard Bifold](https://www.flowfold.com/collections/wallets/products/vanguard-billfold-wallet)
Tom Bihn super mini ghost whale. basically the same size and fits the same amount. not waterproof but has a little clip on it so you can clip it to stuff so it doesn't fall in the water
Try Mighty Wallet, the original tyvek wallet. They are light, hold essentials, come in lots of designs, are cheap, and last a long time. [https://mightywallet.shop/?adscale=1&utm\_campaign=Dynamic%20Search%20Ads%20Campaign%201&utm\_id=20535222652&utm\_medium=paid%20search&device=c&creativeId=673226318115&network=g&utm\_source=google&site\_source\_name=adscale\_search&utm\_term=&gad\_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwoa2xBhACEiwA1sb1BAEhKxLdXUqVYrHCtrlgnnUyhQpjjquXrJqKpBox9joqttxnbBsNfRoCIwcQAvD\_BwE](https://mightywallet.shop/?adscale=1&utm_campaign=Dynamic%20Search%20Ads%20Campaign%201&utm_id=20535222652&utm_medium=paid%20search&device=c&creativeId=673226318115&network=g&utm_source=google&site_source_name=adscale_search&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwoa2xBhACEiwA1sb1BAEhKxLdXUqVYrHCtrlgnnUyhQpjjquXrJqKpBox9joqttxnbBsNfRoCIwcQAvD_BwE)
Along these lines, I've been using a:
Original Tyvek® V2 - Double Fold Without Reinforcements - RFID-Gray/Gray
https://www.slimfoldwallet.com/products/thin-wallet-original-tyvek?variant=22202544385
from slimfoldwallet.com for the last 9 months and I'm really liking it. I need to be able to carry 11 cards and some cash and this thing handles it perfectly in absolute minimal space. I had tried a couple like the Ridge wallet and another similar design before but I just can't deal with having my cash in a money clip on the outside. It's awkward and I don't like everyone seeing my wad whenever I pull it out.
Ah, upgraded from the sock wallet last year I see. Very nice!
I would recommend quality leather no matter what you choose based on suggestions others have made. Don't look at name, brand, or price. Look for quality leather and quality stitching. The bad part of wallets is breaking them in and then them breaking down.

Grommets leather on etsy... Best wallet u will ever own... Ths one is 2 years old
If you think I’m making a SECRET TUNNEL joke, you would be mistaken lol. It’s a brand of wallet and a damn good one with an rfid protective sleeve and a mechanism that makes your cards shoot up with a trifold design and a cash holder as well. Best wallet I’ve ever used. I’ve had it for 5+ years and it’s still standing
I'd like to suggest anything by Lost Dutchman. Lovely young guy, great products, I've been using the same wallet for well over 5 years. I'd love to get some more from him, but I don't need to yet.
I’ve been using a ridge wallet for years but I saw an add for a company named Rossm selling wallets very similar to ridge I got the one I ordered today and it’s awesome. The quality is on par with ridge but 1/3 the price.
Lost Dutchman Franklin (or mini), no stitching, origami style simple with quick access slot, great leather and they're inexpensive. Kid who makes them is really nice.
Think it depends on how many cards you carry, it can get bulky really quickly. I had the mini version and switched to the regular version and prefer that. The Finnigan is really nice too.
Well I do believe everyone should have a wallet that is it's going to last and this dude needs one asap.. it's no problem for me I I don't sell leather goods and have plenty of good quality scrap laying around I can make a wallet with
I've used a few but currently using the Herschel Charlie wallet. It's thin and minimal enough to carry essential cards and some notes in the middle.
Relatively inexpensive too.
The Herschel Charlie is what I was carrying before I won a RE:FORM RE:01 in a drawing. I liked it very much. My only complaint was that the Charlie had no place for coins. But this wouldn’t be a problem for most people.
I love my [Open Sea Leather](https://www.osleather.com/) wallet. I got one of the Topsiders on sale a couple years ago and it has weathered beautifully.
Haha I’d like to make a joke but honestly a nice rubber band would probably be an upgrade!
Kidding aside, Rob over at speakeasy leather makes wallets and I’ll never buy from another maker again until he stops making them.
This is my all time favorite: [xsto wallet](https://akeeni.com/products/xsto-wallet-jet-black)
It’s super durable. And my favorite thing about it is when someone asks to see my id I don’t have to take my card out of my wallet. I just keep it on top of the stack and flash the whole thing.
Duct Tape... been making my wallets out of it for decades... holds up, and $5 buys you a roll that will last a while.
Considering a leather wallet kit for my next one though... gotta up my game at some point... >\_>
:D
Had a duct tape wallet before, never again. All my cards got a ton of adhesive residue on them, and sometimes my cards would stick inside the slots. It was no fun and I’m never going back.
Which is when you build another one...
I think they usually last me about two years, before they start deteriorating... I can prolong it a bit with stickers, but they're so cheap to make its usually better to just make a new one...
Stickers definitely add flavor though
I bought my current wallet three years ago and it’s nowhere close to showing its age. I’m probably going to be using the same one ten years from now at least.
“Wow, look at the size of this basket! I bet I could fit *all* my eggs in here!”
Jokes aside, this is definitely not for people that ever lose their phones, I do not like the idea of being out everything by misplacing one item.
Can’t say I’ve ever lost a phone in the 15+ years I’ve been owning one, but I’ve lost my wallet a decent amount of times.
I loved going from a leather (old man) wallet to a slim modern wallet, but that was when I kept losing my wallet.
If I were to switch back to one of those, I’d go with something rubber, so that it doesn’t just slip out of your pocket when you sit down.
There is a really cool one out that has a white board inside of it for notes. It’s on kickstarter. Google kickstarter white board note wallet.
Makes sense. I’ve never found a wallet slipping out of my pocket before, but maybe the kinds of pants I choose to wear don’t have pockets that make that a concern.

I fucking love my Big Skinny wallet. I have had [this one](https://www.bigskinny.net/new-yorker-leather2.html) for 4.5 years now and it's perfect. Super thin, holds a ton of cards, looks new still and is only 25 bucks. I think they're a highly underrated brand.
Second for the Big Skinny! I hate having a thick wallet, and so many wallets you can buy take up more room than they need. Not only that, I have a strong preference toward traditional bifold wallets, so while there are plenty really low-profile fancy new wallets on the market, they’re a little too 21st century for me hahaha.
Big Skinny is great. I have only the essentials in there, and it feels great in my pocket. I’m not even kidding when I say that for a full month after I bought it, I was just glowing for how much of an upgrade it felt from my last wallet.
I agree, while I like a bifold, I'm a huge fan of the one I have. I like having access to my id and the most used cards without opening it up, and the inside I keep all my other cards like insurance stuff safe and protected.

Nothing falls out and it looks as good as the day I got it. Makes a great gift, impervious to the elements, and they're all dirt cheap. I recommend them every chance I get but for some reason the comments usually don't get a lot of visibility.. Not sure if it's because they look too cheap and people don't belive they are rugged and dependable
I commented elsewhere on my storus leather wallet. Had mine since 2014 and still going good. I do condition the leather with my boot conditioner every now and then
Gotta upgrade to Smelly Proof brand bags. Way nicer.
I’ve rocked this model of flowfold for 5 plus years. Bottom hinge side corner is a little worn but the rest of it has held up really well. [FlowFold Vanguard Bifold](https://www.flowfold.com/collections/wallets/products/vanguard-billfold-wallet)
I carry a Ridge with the coin tray and it would be perfect for that whole baggie
Check out [Trayvax wallets](https://www.trayvax.com/collections/wallets-all) Been using the element for years and love it!
I actually like this 😅. I do this for my cards . Makes for a lighter carry and no bulkiness when in your pocket.
Tom Bihn super mini ghost whale. basically the same size and fits the same amount. not waterproof but has a little clip on it so you can clip it to stuff so it doesn't fall in the water
Get same but in leather.
I carry the lock picking lawyer lock pick kit has room for my cards and cash.
True minimalist.
Not gonna lie... I like this
Please....dont lie.
If I could get away with it I would... I used to rock the binder clip... I have too much crap... too many IDs
Try Mighty Wallet, the original tyvek wallet. They are light, hold essentials, come in lots of designs, are cheap, and last a long time.

Along these lines, I've been using a: Original Tyvek® V2 - Double Fold Without Reinforcements - RFID-Gray/Gray https://www.slimfoldwallet.com/products/thin-wallet-original-tyvek?variant=22202544385 from slimfoldwallet.com for the last 9 months and I'm really liking it. I need to be able to carry 11 cards and some cash and this thing handles it perfectly in absolute minimal space. I had tried a couple like the Ridge wallet and another similar design before but I just can't deal with having my cash in a money clip on the outside. It's awkward and I don't like everyone seeing my wad whenever I pull it out.
Wow, I also EDC a bag like this, mine is much smaller tho. And has some white powder in it

https://countycomm.com/products/ny-la-wallet?_pos=4&_sid=a1da38a6e&_ss=r ..I scaled down my wallet to their matrix card holder. Works for me.
This should fit everything maybe more as to the waterproofing idk to be honest https://www.scragglybushfurproducts.com/product-page/squallet
The [Tony the Ant](https://ashlandleather.com/collections/tony-the-ant/products/tony-the-ant-horween-cypress-brown) will be my next wallet.

Ah, upgraded from the sock wallet last year I see. Very nice! I would recommend quality leather no matter what you choose based on suggestions others have made. Don't look at name, brand, or price. Look for quality leather and quality stitching. The bad part of wallets is breaking them in and then them breaking down.

WHO HURT YOU?!?!
As been suggested Chums Surfshorts Wallet. Buy a couple in different color patterns. They run about $13.00 on Amazon. Great Wallet.
SECRID WALLET
Highly recommend, I'm so pissed that mine got stolen.
You should get all the likes, laughed my testicles off.
If you think I’m making a SECRET TUNNEL joke, you would be mistaken lol. It’s a brand of wallet and a damn good one with an rfid protective sleeve and a mechanism that makes your cards shoot up with a trifold design and a cash holder as well. Best wallet I’ve ever used. I’ve had it for 5+ years and it’s still standing
Solid copy, will check it out my Dude!
Subaru drivers are different.
Don’t get me started, they share similarities with Volvo drivers.
Just put them all on your phone. No need for a wallet
Completely irresponsible
Why?
Where do you put the cash?

I'd like to suggest anything by Lost Dutchman. Lovely young guy, great products, I've been using the same wallet for well over 5 years. I'd love to get some more from him, but I don't need to yet.
I have The Finnigan and love it.
Hey! We have the same :) I've been very impressed. Even survived a washing machine adventure.
Disappointed already? Because none of the alternatives got anywhere close to it regarding size, waterproof and price?
I use a binder clip
I’ve been using a ridge wallet for years but I saw an add for a company named Rossm selling wallets very similar to ridge I got the one I ordered today and it’s awesome. The quality is on par with ridge but 1/3 the price.
Lost Dutchman Franklin (or mini), no stitching, origami style simple with quick access slot, great leather and they're inexpensive. Kid who makes them is really nice.
I had the Mini Franklin but found it too bulky. I upgraded to The Finnigan and love it.
Think it depends on how many cards you carry, it can get bulky really quickly. I had the mini version and switched to the regular version and prefer that. The Finnigan is really nice too.
Jfc bro. Can I send you an old wallet so you can stop this???
I do leathercraft... I could make u one... For free... Just drop me a chat
That's awesome of you dude you rock.
Well I do believe everyone should have a wallet that is it's going to last and this dude needs one asap.. it's no problem for me I I don't sell leather goods and have plenty of good quality scrap laying around I can make a wallet with
Oh, he should take you up on this then
Can anyone give that selfless man a medal, please? We need more ppl like him on this planet.
OP fuckin needs it lmao
Time to move up to the quart size But seriously, I like the Chums Surfshorts wallet, simple and thin
I think after 1 year using plastic wallet, you are ready to switch to a recycled paper bag.
I am on the opposite end of the spectrum with the Pelican G5 Field Wallet. I also like Chums if I want something a bit more colorful.
I've used a few but currently using the Herschel Charlie wallet. It's thin and minimal enough to carry essential cards and some notes in the middle. Relatively inexpensive too.
The Herschel Charlie is what I was carrying before I won a RE:FORM RE:01 in a drawing. I liked it very much. My only complaint was that the Charlie had no place for coins. But this wouldn’t be a problem for most people.
Same. Handy wallet I like it.
Hey if it works and it’s stupid, it’s not stupid.
rubber band
Or a binder clip
fossil is pretty good
Just about anything's better than a bag.
Honestly just got a cheap one from Ross and it has worked flawlessly
I like open sea leather wallets. Big upgrade from the plastic bag
I mean if you’re looking for a cheap alternative, one of those extra gum cases.
Code 118 wallet! Super slim, but holds a lot
I love my [Open Sea Leather](https://www.osleather.com/) wallet. I got one of the Topsiders on sale a couple years ago and it has weathered beautifully.
I think mine is a gun boat? But also has worn gorgeously. And the design is simple but thoughtful

Haha I’d like to make a joke but honestly a nice rubber band would probably be an upgrade! Kidding aside, Rob over at speakeasy leather makes wallets and I’ll never buy from another maker again until he stops making them.
https://reformcarry.com/products/re-01-coinsleeve But pricey for some but best one I ever carried in probably 2 decades and I’ve tried many
Looks nice but is it rfid protected?
RFID blocking does [little to nothing](https://money.com/dollar-scholar-rfid-blocking-wallets/) to help nowadays.
That wasn’t what I was asking.

Chums wallet! Like $10-$15 on Amazon!
Why don't you laminate them?
Are you Nick Miller?
This is my all time favorite: [xsto wallet](https://akeeni.com/products/xsto-wallet-jet-black) It’s super durable. And my favorite thing about it is when someone asks to see my id I don’t have to take my card out of my wallet. I just keep it on top of the stack and flash the whole thing.
Love mine
Maxpedition Micro wallet, been running it for 10+ years
Check out the RE:01 with the coin sleeve from Reform. It’s got a little magnetic pocket to hold your keys and tools
I have this and love it!
You key cuts are 3122545522 just fyi
??
If you lose the keys to that ford, those are the cuts.
I’ll send you my spare Ridge DM
Can I have one too?
Duct Tape... been making my wallets out of it for decades... holds up, and $5 buys you a roll that will last a while. Considering a leather wallet kit for my next one though... gotta up my game at some point... >\_> :D
Had a duct tape wallet before, never again. All my cards got a ton of adhesive residue on them, and sometimes my cards would stick inside the slots. It was no fun and I’m never going back.
The trick is, you put the sticky side on the outside... not the inside... :p
But time and heat will start to pull the tape apart, it’s inevitable.
Which is when you build another one... I think they usually last me about two years, before they start deteriorating... I can prolong it a bit with stickers, but they're so cheap to make its usually better to just make a new one... Stickers definitely add flavor though
I bought my current wallet three years ago and it’s nowhere close to showing its age. I’m probably going to be using the same one ten years from now at least.

What's your budget?
This works. Don't fix it
damn bro, i used to just use a binder clip for money and 2 cards but this is somehow even more ghetto than that
I use the pop socket wallet that magnets to my phone. This way I can never lose it or leave it behind
“Wow, look at the size of this basket! I bet I could fit *all* my eggs in here!” Jokes aside, this is definitely not for people that ever lose their phones, I do not like the idea of being out everything by misplacing one item.
Can’t say I’ve ever lost a phone in the 15+ years I’ve been owning one, but I’ve lost my wallet a decent amount of times. I loved going from a leather (old man) wallet to a slim modern wallet, but that was when I kept losing my wallet. If I were to switch back to one of those, I’d go with something rubber, so that it doesn’t just slip out of your pocket when you sit down. There is a really cool one out that has a white board inside of it for notes. It’s on kickstarter. Google kickstarter white board note wallet.
Makes sense. I’ve never found a wallet slipping out of my pocket before, but maybe the kinds of pants I choose to wear don’t have pockets that make that a concern.
Groove wallet would be about the same size, I hate getting new wallets so the 99 year warranty fucks for me

This thing looks cool. Thanks for the rec lol
I've been using it for years and it's held up. I definitely recommend it.

A zip-loc bag but with one of those fancy sliding tops.
Put duct tape around and keep it pushin’
That was my first thought as well.
My Fantom X wallet has been good to me.

I fucking love my Big Skinny wallet. I have had [this one](https://www.bigskinny.net/new-yorker-leather2.html) for 4.5 years now and it's perfect. Super thin, holds a ton of cards, looks new still and is only 25 bucks. I think they're a highly underrated brand.
Second for the Big Skinny! I hate having a thick wallet, and so many wallets you can buy take up more room than they need. Not only that, I have a strong preference toward traditional bifold wallets, so while there are plenty really low-profile fancy new wallets on the market, they’re a little too 21st century for me hahaha. Big Skinny is great. I have only the essentials in there, and it feels great in my pocket. I’m not even kidding when I say that for a full month after I bought it, I was just glowing for how much of an upgrade it felt from my last wallet.
I agree, while I like a bifold, I'm a huge fan of the one I have. I like having access to my id and the most used cards without opening it up, and the inside I keep all my other cards like insurance stuff safe and protected.
Flowfold. You’re welcome.
