Choosing a new wallet

Leather.
Plain bifold.
No zippers, flaps, or gewgaws.
Done.
On my next purchase I might look at an exotic leather or colour other than black. Not very helpful, was I?
The concerns I would have with the wallet you pictured are A) whether SD cards would stay put and B) whether SD cards would survive the amount of flexing that a wallet commonly experiences.

Best wallet I have ever owned. From Popov leather( http://www.popovleather.com/driftwood-chromexcel-card-holder/ ), one of our own vendors! Takes five cards and some folded bills.
I became a fan of minimalist wallets about 5-6 years ago and never looked back. Back in the day when I carried larger a larger wallet, it would just tend to fill up with stuff.
My personal choice now is the Saddleback ID Wallet (mine is in chestnut). I've carried this thing nearly 3 years and it will never wear out. I'm able to carry 6-8 cards, 2 id's, and about 5-8 bills folded in half. It's stretched out a bit over the years to allow that much stuff, but I love it. I've given these out as gifts to family and friends as well. They are well represented on this forum.

I went minimal... a Big Skinny leather hybrid bi-fold. So thin and comfortable... I often have to check whether I remembered my wallet.

Hello, Had this wallet maybe twice as long as i've been DE shaving which is only a month, very pleased with both.
Couch, simple billfold made from NOS 80's Mercedes upholstery vinyl. Small and light, room for 12 cards and bills, no room to bulk up, lots of other options in NOS auto vinyl. Well made and unique, was difficult to narrow the chose down to one.

wow, thanks for sharing.. these are awesome..
I've got a Bellroy Notesleeve. I like it a lot.
I never realized I needed one of these until I read this thread. Now I do. So far the Saddleback is winning until somebody shows me something better.
Tumi card and cash front pocket wallet. Although it's pretty beat from yrs of use. Some really good stuff in here. I prefer cards on one side and a clip of sorts for cash but no magnet. I'm digging that popov but wonder how much it can carry. I have 5 or 6 cards and always a handful of bills. I look forward to seeing all options here!!
I've been carrying pocket notebooks for the past year or so and find them infinitely convenient to have on me, so I picked up this wallet/notebook combo.
I swapped out the Field Notes notebook that came with it for a Word. notebook and have a few other types that'll slot right in. It's been an excellent wallet so far.

+++++1! Couldn't agree more! I have the same wallet in Dark Coffee Brown. Also keep in consideration OP, if you do choose this wallet, over time the " colour " will become darker due to the oils from your skin and by general use. A plus, you also get 100 year warranty.

Just an old Geoffrey Beene. Genuine leather. The only wallet I have.
I've had it for 12 years. Don't plan on replacing it until it disintegrates.

I like keeping my wallet slim. If it doubles for another purpose, bonus! So this is what I carry.

Love my Harvey's Treecycle wallet.
Saddleback's wallets are simply astounding. The look, the smell, the durability are second to none. Mine is a medium bifold in tobacco, and I am happier than a Japanese schoolgirl in a Hello Kitty store. You can't go wrong. If anything ever goes wrong with it, they will replace it. http://www.saddlebackleather.com/bifoldwallet?quantity=1&custcol1=M&custcol2=Tobacco&custcol3=Natura%20Pigskin&custcol15=Current
Nice wallets here guys. I'm going to be keeping an eye on this thread. I've been thinking of picking up one of these: http://wolfhillbrand.com/collections/wallets/products/bi-fold-wallet
