Ducti Wallet Makes A Billfold Out Of The Humble Duct Tape
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 accessory doesn’t bear any illusion about what it is. It’s neither a fashionable accoutrement nor a clever article for the geek crowd. Instead, the unassuming little bastard just carries your cash and cards like any well-meaning wallet should.
There are two models of the Ducti Wallet, the Classic and the Triplet. Just like the names imply, the former has a traditional bi-fold design for hanging on to [...]
Clinch Wallet Lets You Carry 30 Cards, Guarantees They Won’t Slip
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 compartments filled. Thirty cards sound like they make a ridiculously thick pile, but it manages to keep the puffiness at bay by maximizing the use of space.
Created by Louis Kiss, the main selling point isn’t even the number of ID, ATM and credit cards you can finally carry around. Instead, it’s the novel pocket design, which prevents all the cards from slipping. Unlike traditional wallets where the contents are inserted from [...]
No More Dirty Billfolds Again – The Dishwasher-Safe Wallet
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 dishwasher.” Yep, just like a 747 and a miniature submarine in one (okay, that description is a bit out there). Not surprising, since it’s woven from carbon fiber sailcloth, the same material they use in building the ultra-tough sails of racing yachts.
How tough is that material? Supposedly, it’s 5x stronger than steel, all while being 80% lighter. For further reinforcement, the carbon fiber is encased in a flexible, water-proof resin and [...]
iWallet Lets You Cram An iPhone, Spare RAM, Oversized Cards Into A Tri-Fold
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, everyone gets plus points for being an “iPhone” accessory.
The iWallet is a high-capacity case designed to hold more than its share of your everyday knick-knacks. It comes with a host of slots for regular-sized cards (ATMs, credit cards, driver’s license) and a divided main compartment (so you can hold your real and counterfeit bills separately, you criminal mastermind). There are also larger-sized card slots that, according to Civilian Labs, can fit [...]
Flipside Wallet Keeps Your Cash, Cards And Personal Information Safe
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 better, the hardcase accessory brings a lot more to the table than just an impenetrable RFID shield.
Made from a mix of high-strength polymers and aluminum alloy, it features a hardened chassis that effectively saves your IDs and cards from being regularly bent when you sit on them. A secure locking mechanism makes sure none of the held contents slip out of it, either.
The Flipside Wallet has all the standard compartments, including [...]
Specs Op T.H.E. Wallet Jr Protects Your Money, Cards Like No Other; Kisses Your Ass Without Complaints
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. Super-durable and ultra-tough, it can manage to stick around long after other wallets have withered. Since it holds everything so well, the owners don’t ever want to throw it away too, keeping it close to their asses for eternity. Aaah…it’s the most unfortunate wallet in the whole universe.
The T.H.E. part stands for “Tactical Holds Everything.” While it can’t really “hold everything,” it should be able to carry unusual stuff more handily [...]
Braithwaite Orpheus: Pick-Toting Wallet For Musicians And Posers Alike
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 always carrying large guitar cases around, which should fit in all the picks they need. If you’re not playing a gig but just want to be ready in case you get called upon to play, though, I’m pretty sure having a couple in your wallet will come in handy.
The wallet measures 4.4 x 3.4 inches and has slots for three guitar picks. It has one cash pouch [...]
