No matter how much some people may whine, a key fob (especially a stylish one like the Keysquare) is still the best way to hold and manage all your keys. If you’re neither a fan of pocket bulges or getting your phone scratched in your pockets, though, the Keyper should prove a more suitable alternative. Instead of holding your keys in a fob, the new solution offers holding them in a dedicated key wallet. Simply insert your keys into [...]
If you loved the William Wallet and its minimal two-metal-sheets design, you’ll probably be just as enthused about the Omega Titanium Wallet, a similarly-styled cash and card holder with a sleeker, more efficient design. Made by Fireti, it uses a pair of titanium sheets held together by EPDM rubber O-rings slotted around torx screws that protrude slightly out of the sheets. Like the William Wallet, you hold your cash and cards sandwiched between the metal sheets, keeping them secure in [...]
The Dash Wallet is the anti-George Costanza wallet. One of the funnier moments in television sitcom history is the Seinfeld episode where the lovable curmudgeon George Costanza becomes overly defensive about his super sized wallet. George stubbornly refuses to reduce the size of his wallet even though it is causing terrible backaches. His solution, instead, is to stick a wad of napkins in his other pocket to even himself out. The episode ends with George’s wallet exploding as he tries [...]
When it comes to durability, we doubt any billfold you purchase can match the William Wallet, with its rubber-banded aluminum sheets and dead simple design. If you still prefer the feel of leather on your backside, though, the Uni-Fold Wallet might figure as your most long-wearing option. Designed by Noah Lambert, the pocket accessory pulls the durability card by minimizing the parts of a wallet where damage usually begins: the joints. Instead of multiple seams to connect one cut part [...]
I have no idea what kind of wallets real gangsters use. Erstwhile regular dudes who want a little gangsta in their lives, however, could really do well with these Gangsta Brass Wallets. Made by Guns Germs Steal, the wallets ditch traditional leather or canvas construction in favor of a metal alloy. We’re not sure if that’s necessarily a good thing, but the result looks swanky. I mean, if some clowns can deck their headphones in Swarovski, I sure as hell [...]
I’ve never been a fan of traditional billfolds. They’re too big, too thick and too easy to pick out of a pocket. Over the years, I’ve shunned regular wallets in favor of a money clip for my bills and a card holder tucked away in the bag for my cards. The William Wallet is another alternative the wallet-averse might want to consider. Originally, the pocket accessory was a MacGyver solution, slapped together using two credit cards and a rubber [...]
If your wallet had a mind of its own, we’re sure it will have something to say about your spending habits. Apparently, someone thought that was a good idea and came up with billfolds packing robot brains: the Proverbial Wallets. Courtesy of MIT’s Media Lab, the pocket-sized cases are meant to help you pay better attention to your spending at a time when most of your transactions are done using debit cards and credit cards, instead of cash. That way, [...]
Over the years, billfolds have evolved into full-sized wallets that have more pockets and features than you could care for. In fact, I’ve all but given up on today’s bulky wallets and have resorted to carrying a money clip for holding cash instead. If you feel the same way, the Leffot might be for you. Bringing simplicity back to notecases, it uses a single sheet of leather cut in a T-shape. Lay your cash on the top of the “T,” [...]
A wallet is functional. The Credit Card Holder, which seeks to replace that billfold as the place where you store your cards, makes pulling one out fun. Just flip a button and the corresponding card is dispensed. Like magic. I can play with it all day. Since it can only carry six cards at a time, it won’t exactly replace your wallet if you carry a whole slew of similarly-sized cards and IDs around. If you’re fine with leaving the [...]
Your designer leather wallet might be awesome…back when it was new. But you’ve had it for a good seven years now and, fact is, it’s in deplorable condition. Sure, you’ve MacGyvered every break and tear with duct tape, but that doesn’t make it suck less. Give up the old duct-taped billfold and carry a duct tape wallet instead. Yes, there’s one of those and they call it the Ducti. Neither hip nor pretentious, just like duct tape, the pocket [...]
How many cards can you fit in your pocket-sized wallet? Whatever number you spouted, it still sucks, because the Clinch Wallet probably blows it in the water. Capable of holding up to 30 credit cards, it’s the most convenient accessory to carry during one of your the-world-be-damned shopping sprees. Sure, there are probably a couple other wallets that can hold the same number of plastics. However, I’ve never seen one that remains as thin as this, even with all the [...]
Your wallet may be awesome, complete with wild designs and funky slots. Give it a few years of regular use, though, and it will end up like everyone else’s billfolds – dirty and gross. That’s why the Dishwasher Safe Wallet rocks, allowing you to drop it into that machine with soap and water without any worries of mucking it up. A durable billfold, the retail page claims it can withstand both “a gale force wind or the torrents of a [...]
As a rule, I stay away from gadgets accessories that append an “i” to the front of their name. The iWallet is such a devilishly handsome accessory, though, that I just can’t keep away. Like the name implies, it’s a wallet with an Apple-inspired twist. Instead of just holding your cards, coins and cash, the non-pocketable billfold integrates an iPhone case among its compartments. Of course, it can just as easily hold your HTC, Samsung or Blackberry device. But, hey, [...]
Worried about RFID snoopers grabbing account details via invisible waves from your credit cards? Protect yourself from high-tech thievery with the Flipside Wallet, a veritable security box that slides snugly into your pants pocket. If you’ve been perfectly fine with your leather and canvas wallets in the past, now’s a good time to consider trading up. With RFID becoming a standard in credit cards and other identification implements, you’ll need to protect yourself from new vulnerabilities resulting from it. Even [...]
It’s tough being a wallet. You hold a ton of important stuff – from cash to credit cards to identification – yet spend the majority of your days kissing ass. You don’t ever complain because that is your job. Instead, you faithfully pray for the day when you begin to crack and wear off, so you can get your reprieve, replaced by someone fresh and new. With that said, it’s probably doubly tough being a Specs Op T.H.E. Wallet Jr. [...]
No guitar slinger’s gear is complete without a bunch of picks easily within arm’s length. While you can always keep a set of the little plastic strummers in your pocket, it’s also the easiest way to keep losing them. The Braithwaite Orpheus wallet treats your picks the way it attends to your bills – giving you slots to put them in so they don’t fall off accidentally. Many guitar pros will probably snicker at the idea – after all, they’re [...]
